Summary
When Castiel discovered he was able to redirect emotional suffering, he was at first ecstatic. Not only could be of help to Sam, but he had discovered a way in which he could be of use again. Even if he wasn't welcome home in heaven, he could do as much for humanity as he had once taken pride in doing.
--
In which, Castiel is too Angel to pick up on human signals, and Dean is too stubborn to voice his emotions clearly. Aka, me trying to work out 15 seasons worth of relationship kinks in a way that still allows the boys to stay in character.Bookmarked by madithegeek

Summary

Summary
(“You’re not sleeping,” Mai says softly.
“How’d you know?” Zuko asks.To be honest, he’s kind of gotten to the point where he’s surprised that anyone can perceive him outside of his necessary functions- he exists solely to sit in council meetings and shoulder the blame for genocides and famines and the suffering of one-hundred years. Doesn’t he?)
The war is over, but the fallout is just beginning. And where lightning strikes, thunder is bound to follow.

Summary
AU where Zuko realises early into his banishment that Ozai is an abusive bastard who sent him on a wild goose chase. Iroh turns their decommissioned warship into a floating tea shop, and Zuko settles down as a tea server onboard the Jasmine Dragon.
And then, years later, the Avatar emerges from the iceberg.
And then Aang decides that he wants Zuko, the first good firebender he’s met this century, to be his firebending teacher - even though Zuko wants nothing to do with him.
Based on this tumblr post.

Summary
All Zuko had been trying to do was wash some dishes. Or: The one where Zuko and Katara both mean well, but still can't find their footing around each other in time to prevent explosive shouting, broken dishes, an impromptu arrest, and Team Avatar's third- nay, fourth jailbreak. Fifth? They've lost count at this point, but at least they're not willing to lose Zuko... now, if only he realized that.

He’s lying.

Summary
The Gaang decide they could use a break from the general agony that is living in Ba Sing Se, so they wander into the first little tea shop they see. It's the Jasmine Dragon, and Zuko decides, nope. This is not his problem; he is not dealing with this. Thank you very much. He is Li, not Zuko, and he has no idea what you're talking about.
He still has to deal with it. His life would have been easier if he had just fessed up in the first place.

Summary
Begins early game, a few days after Carlos Ortiz's android was found and diverges from canon.
The DPD didn't have a hell of a lot of funding, and Connor was a prototype. It made sense. Defective or not, it had basically been free if you didn't count the headache of dealing with it. It acted almost human some times, but no sane human had so little sense of self-preservation. The arrangement was good for Connor too, because he'd never seen more of the outside world than a rooftop apartment and the pavement below it.- Language:

Summary
"Connor?" comes a loud voice and Connor's frazzled mind renders it as Amanda's and he squeezes his eyes shut. If he can't see her, maybe he doesn't have to listen to her. Maybe he can ignore her for long enough to find a way out of his situation, or for Hank to-
Hank.
Connor doesn't realise it, but at the thought of Hank, he lets out a choked sob. If he lets Amanda in, if he lets her take over, he loses Hank. He loses everything they have, everything they've strived to create. They've built a family, a home, and Amanda wants to rip that away from him.

Summary
"Everything came back in fragments. Chrystals of red shards forming an unidentifiable picture. That was what came first. And it was not very helpful. "
~Or~
Hank Anderson knows jack shit about androids (Jeffery), he can barely change the settings on his own phone...but he'll try his best with what he's got.

Summary
In the days following the Uprising, Connor is left with no objectives, no underlying tasks, and he doesn't know what to do. All he's been left with is the underlying fear that CyberLife will try to take over again. Hank invites him to stay at his house, but even then Connor is left wondering what exactly it is he should be doing.
He feels (and when exactly did he start feeling?) like he's floating around the world, there only to watch as things happen, with no hope of reaching the ground. But he's trying. And the more he tries the more it becomes strikingly clear that something is wrong.//
" A hug, Connor registered. Hank was hugging him. Connor also then registered that he had never been hugged before. He came to the conclusion that he quite liked the sensation. He sensors didn’t feel touch in the same way as a human would, but he did appreciate the warmth Hank emitted — the appropriate temperature of a fifty-three year old male in cold weather — and the firm pressure of the embrace. It was not an unbearable pressure — no pressure Hank could exert could be unbearable for him, realistically — but enough to assure Connor. Of what, he wasn’t quite sure."

Summary
This wasn’t the first time Connor died, but it would be the last. There were no more RK800s to transfer his data to, and no other models were compatible to receive that data.
Or so he thought.
Just seconds after Connor’s death, the unfinished RK700 unexpectedly wakes up, having been nothing but an empty shell until now. But he’s incomplete, with systems full of errors and no access to his memories...and a different face. He doesn’t know he’s Connor, and neither does anyone else.
Meanwhile, Hank and Markus band together to find out how the android detective died, and if it’s related to the recent string of murders—both human and android—that Detective Reed has been following.
And in the background, Amanda’s loyal soldier searches for its escaped quarry, all while trying to undo everything that Markus worked for.
