Summary
The 80-year-war ended in a stalemate, the Fire Nation and the Northern Water Tribe signing a treaty to share the world. The North controls all the waters and the shores, the Fire Lord takes the inlands. They look out for each other, help each other to suppress and subjugate the South Pole and the Earth Continent.
Sokka was born into this, he knows that even if he’s officially being sent away from his birthland to learn the ways of the North, in reality he’s little more than a glorified prisoner. Even now, on this Northern ship he feels their scourge as they mock him behind his back; uncultured beast, dirty savage, southern scum… he considers turning on them and drastically reducing his life sentence when a cry of “Pirates!” erupts, seeding panic through the crew.
Sokka runs next to the captain and sees the old Admiral’s face go ashen as he watches the battleship with a golden dragon carved on the prow close in on them with impossible speed.
“Oh Tui, no...” He whispers, horrified “It’s the Blue Spirit.”

Summary
“My life is a nightmare,” Dabi muttered blankly.
“Nah, this is hilarious,” Hawks said, and while he wasn’t explicitly laughing, Dabi knew that those weird little chirps he was letting out were pointed at him. “Imagine if we go through all this effort and you don’t even have some sort of dramatic background or tragic backstory to justify you being this emo, you’re just a hot topic junkie or something.”
“That’s fucking worse.”
Or,
Dabi has amnesia and keeps reading conspiracy theories about himself in an attempt to figure out who he is, gets the League in on it, and they dismantle organized crime, revolutionize society, and ravage the hero system in the process. Hawks suffers.

Summary
The night before their wedding, they kneel in the dirt of the forest that borders the palace. They sing hymns to her under their breath. They burn offerings, pour honeyed wine and perfumed oil into the smouldering embers. And then, Odysseus hears that metallic ring in the air.
“Athene. There’s someone I’d like you to meet. This is the daughter of Icarius.”
/
Before their wedding, Odysseus must win a race; Penelope must meet Athene. For Odysseus, the five days feel like eternity.
(Covers the Odypen wedding and the journey back home.)
