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.

Summary
"Buck?"
Buck's eyes snapped back up to Bobby's face. Shit. He didn't know how long they'd been standing silently in the middle of the station kitchen, but it was definitely past the appropriate timeframe to answer a question as simple as are you alright.
Buck nodded, and the movement made his vision twirl around the edges. He didn't know how to explain that he was either going insane, or he had been thrown five years backwards in time, and his family didn't remember him the way he did them, and everything was wrong, and Eddie wasn't here. God, Bobby didn't even know who Eddie was.
Or, the lightning strike sends Buck back to season one
