Summary
There's an owl. It's not a cat-owl or a badger-owl or even an owl-deer. It's an owl, it's huge, and it's not pleased to see them.
"Humans. What are you doing in my library?"
Zhao bows deeply to it. "Honoured spirit, I am a humble seeker of knowledge. I had heard of the wonders of your library and wished to see it for myself."
What follows is the most nauseating combination of flattery and lies Zuko has heard for a long time. Not that Zuko has the right to accuse an honourable Fire Nation citizen of lying. And he should want the spirit to believe Zhao. Right?
Right. Anyway. Something something knowledge for the sake of knowledge. Honoring the spirits that keep our sailors safe and bear us where we need to go.
"And your companion?" the owl asks. Wan Shi Tong, whose name literally means the guy who knows everything. And he can't hear what utter moosebullshit Zhao is spouting? Really?
"Him?" Zhao says. He pats Zuko's shoulder, and Zuko grits his teeth. "He's my assistant. A bit simple, but he can follow orders. I'll ensure he doesn't trouble you."
Or,
Zuko goes to the library. He ends up staying for three years.

Summary
The deck is empty.
The spirit is gone and so is the prince. Jee walks, and then runs, to the rail in the hope that the royal brat has just been swept overboard, but there's nothing. Nothing at all.
The Prince is lost. The General is going to be livid. The Fire Lord will ... well, that also won't be good. Between those two, Jee's probably just as dead as his charge probably is.
On the plus side, at least they won't have to go to the South Pole.
Or,
A spirit encounter leaves Zuko transformed into a dragon. It's not as bad as it sounds.

Summary
"The mutineers are secured, sir" Lieutenant Jee says. He addresses the words to Iroh, a not-subtle snub to the young prince that the child must notice. wild-eyed and frazzled, and only holding himself still with visible difficulty. "We have seven remaining unaffiliated crew members, of which we require six to man the ship at any one time. We can't continue like that."
The moment the door clicks shut, Zuko turns on his heel and strides to his futon. He throws himself down on it, covers his face with his arms and makes a sound like a half-strangled scream, then leaps to his feet and starts pacing again.
With all the neutral jing Iroh possesses, he makes himself stand and wait.

Summary
Zhao wonders if the boy remembers his old name. It's three years since he's been called anything but 'boy', three years since he lost an agni kai to his own father, and was sent to the lightning-tamers to have the rebellion burnt out of his brain.
Zhao's had him ever since. He's perfectly, despicably docile. Left alone, he does nothing, just stays sitting or kneeling where you left him. But when given orders, he'll do anything -- anything -- you ask him to.

Summary
See, soulmates are bullshit. No, seriously they are. Like, just under 99% of the population develops a soulmark in the first year of their life, which sounds like a lot, until you do the math and realize that there's like three million soulmarkless idiots just like you in the USA alone. Which is great, but when you're in high school and statistically there's only gonna be one and a half of you in your year then ... well, your classmates are gonna just assume that you're like, a defective weirdo, and that's gonna suck. A lot.
Halfway through Sophomore year and sixteen years too late, Stiles Stilinski, apparently, suddenly somehow acquires a soulmark.Derek Hale, on the other hand, has a perfectly functional soulmark, matching that of the person who worked very hard to destroy his entire life. The very last thing in the world he wants is another soulmark.

Summary
When Stiles was a kid, he wanted to be a cop.
His logic went something like this: here is a job where you get to find out the things they don’t want you to know and people actually like you for it. And you get paid.
Yeah, kid Stiles was an idiot.
------------------
In which the law sucks, and Stiles and Laura try to make it better.

Summary
"So let me get this straight," Doyle said. "Cowley wants me to pass myself off as a rent boy in order to sleep with a member of the MoD for the purposes of finding out whether he's in bed--literally--with Albanian intelligence?"
It stunk. That was the only term that Doyle could think of to describe it.
