Summary
Ordon had thought it was the end.
As he had been dragged down into the pit, trapped in the painful grip of skekMal the Hunter, he had shouted the best advice he had at his son. It was the culmination of everything he could have ever hoped to have taught him—could ever hope for him.
“Be brave.”
If this was it, he needed Rian to know.
No sooner have the words come out of his mouth, however, when something unexpected occurs.

Summary
When she first met him, she’d assumed Clark Kent–solid, Midwestern, unassuming, non-demanding–would favor a beer and maybe a shot on the side if everyone else was partaking. She could peg him as maybe having a craft beer if he was feeling adventurous or a whiskey sour if he was really feeling like something on ice or just wanted to seem interesting in a group setting, but she hadn’t expected anything out of the norm.
The first time they’re at a bar for an unofficial team happy hour on a Friday night and he orders an honest-to-God Shirley Temple, then, she’s thrown.
“No one drove here,” she offers. “You don’t have to DD.”
Clark shrugs, looking mildly bashful the way he usually does when anyone’s attention is focused solely on him when he wasn’t expecting it.
“I’m not really a drinker,” he says, almost apologetically, even as he accepts his drink from the bartender, the glass looking almost comically dainty in his hands, which just adds to the comedy.
Lois, though, just shrugs. Everyone needs a quirk, after all, and there are worse ones to have than not drinking.
(clark kent doesn't drink) (lois uses this to her own benefit)

Aang knew those swords. He’d seen them every day, felt the warm, if rough, presence of their owner in all his hardest moments and coldest flights. He was a strong figure, gentle in his own way. A Firebender who still used swords.

Summary
“Sparky,” Toph announces, “it’s field-trip time. Pack your bags.” She pauses and considers Azula. “You want to come, Princess?”
Azula eyes her up and down. “With you?”
Toph’s grin is full of teeth. “You know I’m more fun than anyone else at the palace, don’t try and pretend otherwise.”
Unfortunately, she has a point.
Or: the beginning of Azula's redemption.
