Summary
Abed is supposed to be of the clone variant. Instead, he's faced with a goatee-having version of himself. Yet again—he might add. Straight from the darkest timeline.
"You're not here and I'm not crazy," he says, but somehow it feels less believable than before.
(Or, Abed doesn't cope all that well with Troy leaving.)

Summary
The walls were slowly caving in.
Abed stared at them, watching like it was the most interesting thing in the world. The wallpaper looked like it was melting, posters bending with the walls, crumpling and falling. They had gotten wet, he knew for some reason. The walls were wet. And that was why they’d gone all soft. Like cardboard in the rain, he thought. Or cheese in a microwave. Or butter. Dairy products became the wall. And the wall was caving in.
He wondered when the ceiling would start coming down with it.
-----
The walls are caving in, except they're not, and Troy helps Abed back to reality.

“Like what?”

Summary
[Sokka is five when the first mark appears.
It writes itself in a deep red like a wound, as if someone had carved the word “nonbender” in a messy font across the knuckles of his left hand, as if it was handwritten with a knife.
When he asks his mother, as she applies salve on Sokka’s knuckles, she sighs deeply and says nothing for a few moments.
“Sometimes, spirits don’t make much sense.”
Sokka has yet to turn thirteen when he wakes up screaming in pain, about ten soulmarks all over each other between his left shoulder and his ear, red and vivid like burning flesh. Among the few words that are somehow possible to read out of the disastrous scribbling, “disrespectful” and “coward” and “burned” and “sorry sorry sorry” are the ones that stand out the most to Sokka. He thinks, at the tender age of twelve, whoever did this to his soulmate will be sorry too, one day.
A month after Hakoda leaves him with the job of the protector at the age of thirteen, Sokka realizes, with a bitter taste in his mouth, that he’s got more soulmarks than his entire village combined.]
Or, to have a soulmark is to carry the vilest things that your soulmate believes about themselves on your skin.

Summary
Sokka's always had more soulpains than anyone else he's known, and all he can do is hope the war ends soon.
"Things may well get worse for you both before they get better," Aunt Wu continues. "But your soulmate is coming closer, is chasing your fate together, and will find you soon enough."

Summary
It's a week into Zuko's banishment when his soulmate severs their connection. And just like he doesn't deserve to be home until he's regained his honor, he figures he doesn't deserve a soul connection, either. It's all part of the same lesson.
(Soulmate AU: When your soulmate experiences a powerful emotion, you can feel it too. At any time for any reason, though, you can sever this connection to your soulmate so neither of you feel it anymore. Only the partner who severed the connection is able to unsever it.)

Summary
Zuko’s eighteen years old and drinking a lukewarm cup of jasmine tea when Sokka turns to him and says, “You know I’m in love with you, right?”
Zuko doesn’t choke on his tea. He keeps drinking it, then stops drinking it, then sets it down on the table with a quiet clink.
“Yeah,” he answers, his voice almost inaudible over the faint crackling of the torch. “I know.”
Or: Sokka's in love with Zuko. Zuko knows this. Zuko's in love with Sokka. Sokka knows this.
They're not meant to be in love. Everyone knows this.

Summary
“You’re not your family, Zuko,” Sokka says immediately, like it’s a reflex, like he genuinely believes it.
“Does it matter?” Zuko says. “In the grand scheme of things, does it really fucking matter? Does it matter to the waterbenders who were kidnapped and killed under my grandfather’s command? Does it matter to the war orphans, the war children, who have lost their families and houses and limbs to the fire of my nation’s soldiers? Does it matter to the fifteen-year-olds getting drafted for the war effort, the ones the generals of my father’s council call kindling? Does it matter to the—” Zuko cuts himself off, chest heaving, eyes burning. “Does it matter to the Air Nomads?”
The hottest day of the year comes just before the end of the world.

Summary
Izumi loved that scar. When she was too young to know what it was, she had smeared red paint over one eye and stuck a paper five-pronged crown in her ponytail. Dad didn’t like it. She didn’t understand why, until he explained what a scar was and why it hurt him to see her pretending to have one.
And now this man was going to give her one for real.
The smoke burned her throat. She choked, crying too hard now to form proper sentences, too scared to say anything other than, “Dad.”
Or: After Izumi is the target of an assassination attack, Zuko is left to deal with the aftermath.

Summary
It was a sight Hakoda never thought he would see: a firebender dressed willingly in fur, cradling an Earth Kingdom girl, the both of them laughing with an Air Nomad.
Their thoughtless joy. The easy way they touched each other. Three different benders, laughing in the Southern Water Tribe, as if they belonged there. How could any of it be real?
Or: several months after Kya’s death, Hakoda gets a glimpse of the future.
