    Summary

    ‘…H-how am I still alive?’ Zuko thinks.

    Sokka flinches back. Whoaaa, how in Spirits name did Zuko project his voice like that? Sokka didn’t even see him move his lips.

    As if he can hear Sokka’s thoughts, Zuko turns his head to look directly at him, eyes bewildered.

    And this is where Sokka realises something is very, very wrong.

    Two minutes later: “No way!” Sokka shakes his head wildly, just as prince jerkbender across him curses. “I’m soul bonded- To him?! No way! That’s just spirit mumbo-jumbo!!!”

    -or, through some freak Spirit accident involving Zhao, the Avatar, and the continuous joke that is both their existence, Sokka and Zuko have been soul-bonded and mentally linked. Neither of them are particularly happy with this.

    Or: Early on during his time in Ba Sing Se, Sokka stops for a cup of tea. This small action changes everything.

    Summary

    The entire hockey team falters, faced by Katsuki's dark eyes shaded by his inky eyelashes. It's very effective. Mila's going to find out what mascara he uses.

    "Did - did someone pull a prank on you?" says Katsuki. His Russian isn't terrible, but between his soft voice and his frankly adorable accent, half-American and half-Japanese, he sounds like a little lost lamb.

    Summary

    “Victor, you could have let some psychopath into your apartment.”

    “Oh come on, he’s not a psychopath,” Victor chides. Christophe makes a gesture with his hand that says ‘are you seriously this naïve or are you drunk at work again?’.

    “Victor, you don’t know that. You don’t know anything about him. Whose name am I going to give to the police or face I’m going to describe to the sketch artist when they find your body chopped up like Hannibal Lecter’s side dish?”

    --

    in which Victor and Yuuri are roommates and Yuuri has a secret
