    Summary

    What it says on the tin. For if you hate that guy Steve and/or think he needs to be humbled. Mostly uncorrelated oneshots. Almost always with a hefty helping of degradation/humiliation for everyone's favorite plague.
    (Will never be complete. My work never ends. Fighting the good fight.)

    Summary

    Izzy only shares Edward and Bonnet's bed when asked. Still, it shouldn't have taken him so long to notice the old caning scars that Bonnet bears. It doesn't make sense, based on what Izzy assumes about Bonnet's comfortable life before running away to sea. But as Edward says, everyone has their scars.

    Edward sighs. “Iz. Do you want to keep doing it? The three of us, I mean?”

    Izzy’s guts start to roil and churn at even the suggestion of taking it away. He still doesn’t know what they are, doesn't think he and Bonnet are anything at all, but he’s never needed to put a name to things like this before. He checks his posture, stands up straighter. “Yes, captain,” he says.

    Edward stops to think, his mouth doing something complicated, eyes flicking down to the desk and back up again. “Boarding school,” he says, trailing the quill along the edge of the desk. “You want to know more, you ask him yourself.”

    Summary

    “I thought it would be worth it to give it up, but it's not,” Roy whispered. “Nothing is worth this.”

    He needed one flickering moment of hope in which he believed he wasn't a sad, desperate old man who had put his life on hold for a career that meant less to him every day, only to learn that he had run out of life to live.

    “What are you talking about?” Ed breathed. “What did you give up?”

    You, Roy wanted to say, or something like you.

    Summary

    Zuko had never excelled at anything. Azula was a prodigy. Uncle always knew what to say. And Father... Father was strong, iron-like. But Zuko had only ever been good at surviving. Putting one foot in front of the other in a grim show of stubborn determination, gritting his teeth and bearing it. Survival was all he had ever been taught. He knew how to do it. So when he was kidnapped by the Southern Water Tribe, he expected to fight as he always had. He didn’t expect to be taught instead how to live.

    In a warring land, the Water Tribe forgave the enemy in an act of defiance. For this, he was torn from them, and this time, his wounds won't heal so easily.

    Forced back into nothing but survival, the last person Zuko expected to see was Hakoda's son. Hakoda was a promise of safety. The relentless blue of Sokka’s eyes was a promise of happiness. Zuko could have both if he just reached out his hands, but he found them clutching into fists. After all, he’d been burned one too many times.

    But hey, at least between Hakoda and Sokka, Zuko could appreciate the family resemblance of pure, asinine stubbornness.
