    Summary

    Katsuki hated to admit it, but that day scared him, and he changed, and not for the better. His mom became meaner, and rougher, and overall just made his life hell, so he became meaner to deal with it all. He snapped and snarled and threw punches at anyone who even looked at him wrong.

    He was scared and pissed and just pissed for being scared. He was pissed at himself.

    Izuku got the worst of it. He tried to be there for him, but Katsuki pushed him the furthest away in the most cruel ways he could think of to get Izuku to stay away.

    Izuku would never stay away though, and Katsuki would owe Izuku everything for that.

    -

    Katsuki just wants to be good. Izuku is there to show her that she can be.

    Summary

    “I -” Zuko sighed, holding Sokka in his arms, “I still can’t tell if you like it.”

    “You made me another meteor sword? Oh, you beautiful, resplendent man!” Sokka didn’t pull his gaze away to look at the sword on the table (even if it had fucking dragons carved into the metal-!!!!) but he could’ve mentioned the carvings if he wanted to. It would’ve made the compliment more unique.

    “Well, not made- I didn’t make it -”

    “Personally commissioned, yeah, yeah, whatever-” Sokka would not cry. He would not tempt fate. Never mind the fact that he’d teared up when he’d gotten a splinter in his pointer finger chopping wood two nights before-

    “You didn’t,” Sokka murmured. “No way you actually did this. No, this is another dream.”

    In which Sokka has a birthday and Zuko commissions a one-of-a-kind gift for him.

    Summary

    “Have you been angry about it? Felt genuine anger?”

    Yue looked away, eyes staring out over the field of vibrant pink spirit flowers. “No, I- That wouldn’t help anything. I can’t change what happened. And I wouldn’t, I had to do it for my people and the world. It’s not like I could let Tui die. I had a duty and it’s good that I could help.”

    “That doesn’t mean you can’t be angry about it.”
