Summary
"You’re super early," Sokka said. "The only person who arrived before you is Zuko.”
“Who’s Zuko?” Katara asked, and jumped nearly a foot when she realized they were not alone. A slim but muscled figure stood in the corner of the living room, in front of a stack of boxes all labeled "Nerf Weaponry."
He looked around Sokka’s age, or perhaps a few years older. His face was…
Horribly scarred. Katara’s heart clutched at the injured flesh around his left eye. But it was also…
Beautiful. There was no other word to sum up the angles and lines of his face.

Summary
Katara is a second-semester freshman at Ba Sing Se University and her decision to study biology and public health is already kicking her ass. With some help from previously acquired credits, she's taking biochemistry a semester early but she was starting to understand why so many people suggested she take a break and just study on track with everyone else. Thankfully, her lab TA is incredibly helpful. He's also incredibly young, handsome, and funny. Katara thinks he might be into her, but she can't tell if it's just her wishful thinking and his naturally sweet demeanor. Her roommate, Suki, just feeds into her fantasies and, as the semester continues, Katara becomes more and more confused.

Summary
Alex is an ordinary, highly-introverted office worker. He clocks in and out and goes home to his little apartment he shares with his younger sister. He hasn’t dated in years. Until his co-workers set him up on a blind date.
The only issue is he and his date are not on the same page. At all.
While Alex thinks it’s a normal date, Damián is under the impression Alex is a client who paid to be there. No-so-quickly, they realize something is up. It’s all a prank. Damián is a sex worker Alex’s co-workers hired as a sick joke.
After reassuring that they’re both okay, Alex decides he wants revenge for both him and Damián. The plan is to use the stigma of sex work and start a 6-week, scandalous fake dating scheme with a big finale at the office Halloween party. Alex’s co-workers will be too horrified to try to prank him again. At least, that’s the plan.
