    Summary

    “I hate you,” Katara spews, hardly flinching at the backlash of shame that travels with the words. “I hate you so much that I’ll probably die from it.” She tries not to think about the blood-rushing excitement of hatred; how she flushes and pants with it.

    Zuko merely stares because he doesn’t hate her back at all. “That’s one thing we have in common.”

    Katara grows up in the gloomy tourist-trap of Lake Laogai. Here, scandalous gossip protects an undercurrent of appalling human nature. She flees the moment she’s able, but Katara is borne back to the town’s haunting depths when her brother needs help.

    Katara arms herself with a cynical outlook upon seeing Zuko face-to-face as adults. She vows not to trust his sudden change of heart as much as she’d like to.

    Modern AU, no bending.

    Summary

    When he peers up at Felix, haloed in the setting afternoon sun streaming in through the library windows, he sees, for just a second, a fur-trimmed blue coat with a high collar caressing the curve of Felix’s neck. He blinks, and the image melts back to Felix as he normally is, staring at Sylvain with a sweatshirt on and a stricken look on his face.

    .

    Everyone except Sylvain knows something.

    Summary

    She walks toward him slowly, purposefully. He takes a step back, and then holds still as she touches his shoulder, and then slowly brushes his bangs out of his face.

    “Weakness is what’s saving you right now,” she says quietly. Dimitri doesn’t say anything back, but he listens, and he stands there until she leaves, and maybe that’s all she can ask of him right now.

    Summary

    “I told you,” Dedue says, “five years ago, that you fit in here. That you weren’t pretending. Did you think I was lying? You don’t have to presume anything, Ashe. You are still…” He trails off. What is Ashe to him that Dedue can say out loud, into the stillness of the night as Ashe gazes up at him with luminous eyes? How can he say you are everything without handing his heart over completely?

    Summary

    Felix hasn’t seen Sylvain in eleven months, not that he’s counting, but he’d still recognize him anywhere. He always did take up all the air in any room. Now he’s doing it even outdoors. Felix can’t breathe.

    He counts to five. He remembers how to inhale and exhale. He abandons his bags and stalks over so that his shadow falls over Sylvain, folding his arms over his chest.

    “You don’t go to this school,” Felix says accusingly, by way of hello.

    *

    Sylvain and Felix fake date at Christmas. It goes about as predictably as you’d expect.
