Summary
A gust rattled the grimy windowpane. With it came a lurch in the cabin’s pulse, a rise in the tick-tick-ticking of rain that pooled in the corner, drained between decaying floorboards.
Varric held Cassandra’s gaze the way one might a flame in a draft. Delicate. Imploring. One wrong move and it might gutter.
----
When a raging storm strands the Seeker and the Rogue in a dilapidated hunter’s shack, the attraction that has been growing between them finds itself with nowhere to hide.

Summary
Or, The Morally Grey Pirate's Guide to Being a Dad.
Lu Da—thief, mercenary pirate, and privateer to the Fire Nation—was good at a lot of things. But on the list of men fit to play father figure, he surely made the bottom.
On one unsuspecting night, the universe laughs as he finds himself in possession of a young boy, reluctantly accepting payment to stow him away for protection and sail him quietly overseas. He tells himself the kid is only eight, how much trouble can he be?
Unless the universe, in its infinite humor, were to go and hand him a mirror...
In which case the answer would be, a lot.

Summary
“At least the Avatar took his bending.”
“He should have taken his life instead.”
The long-familiar taste of hatred climbs up his throat. They cannot know how Ozai has wished the same on not a few nights in the solitary dark.
Zuko once said he should count himself lucky that the Avatar spared him. As if it wasn’t the cruelest, most painful punishment that he could have inflicted. To be rent apart soul from body, left with the excruciating memory of that severed aspect like a phantom limb, to be made a ruin of the man he once was, and then to be locked away to wallow in his losses for the rest of his life.
No, Ozai would have rather died. It would have been the more merciful route.

Summary
When Aang awakens, 70 years have passed in the blink of an eye, and he has one choice: to rise up and do his duty to the world, or to keep running. With no one by his side and his trust shaken, he chooses the latter — until an ambitious Prince Ozai enlists his help to end the war and transform the Fire Nation. But a hatred festers within the prince, and Aang must choose again between himself and the world — before it’s too late.
An AU where Aang awakens from the iceberg 30 years earlier.

Summary
War can do desperate things to a people. In a place of such extremes as the North Pole, 'desperate' takes on whole new meanings. Years after his defeat at the icy ramparts of Agna Qel'a, Zhao must come to terms with what his assault on the Northern Water Tribe drove one man to do, the repercussions of which set him on a dangerous path across the tundra, determined to protect the princess he has -- yet again -- endangered.
There may be strange things done beneath the midnight sun, but more horrible still is what stalks the ice during the long dark.

Yakone remembers the Siege of the North -- but what he remembers most is the girl, the fierce Southerner. It's a shameful kind of remembrance, one that becomes entwined with his dreams of red.
After the war he makes his way to Cranefish Town, where he and Katara reunite and begin a treacherous journey into the abyss of blood, bending, and possibility. -

Summary
When Azula met her brother in Ba Sing Se & told him he could come home, he believed her, even though she had made this exact offer before. This time there was no loose-lipped Captain to give the game away, & he was brought back to the Fire Nation not as a hero, but in chains.
When he is dragged from his cell months later, he expects to be facing his execution, not his coronation.
