Summary
During one of Republic City’s worst winter storms in years, a ship in trouble and its passengers caught in the water brings Zuko to the nearby shore to aid in the rescue mission. It’s a race against time and nature to get everyone to safety before the cold has a chance to set in. Things are going as well as can be expected until the waterbender helping Zuko gets herself into trouble too.
A modern AU where bending still exists. There’s still airbenders around too.

Loved this!!! The rescue is dramatic and both Katara and Zuko get to be badasses; the romance at the end was sweet and cute; the hints of the Fire Nation Uprising are very tantalizing; and overall, everything leaves me satisfied but also wanting more. Much more.

Summary
“You’re a single male in a pub whose friends are trying to find him a girl to shag, and you’re not happy about it. When looking for an escape route, you ignore the myriad of other singletons here and head straight for me, the undeniably gorgeous and evidently rich man at the bar. You also haven’t heard of Morgana le Fay. You, my friend, are by all means a raving homosexual.”
Or, how Merlin found the worst anti-wingman in the world, but did manage to avoid the Arbonne representative.

Hahahahahaha. Merlin's friends don't know he's gay so he gets Arthur to pretend to his friend and shelter him from his friends' attempts to get him laid. Arthur has a ball making up old friend stories and then Merlin proceeds to talk his ear off the rest of the night. It was fun to see an Arthur who's still kind of an asshole but that isn't antagonistic towards Merlin at all.
***
Arthur looked like he was trying not to laugh. “Oh dear. I can see where I made my first mistake. It’s the first mistake I’ve made in a few years, of course, so you can see why it wouldn’t sink in straightaway. Merlin, I have never made a secret of the fact that I am an equal opportunist.”
Merlin blinked.
“You should never assume something like that about someone, Merlin,” Arthur scolded, but he was smiling rather a lot and Merlin didn’t think he was in trouble really so he didn’t say anything. “I mean, obviously I assumed you were gay, but I’m allowed to assume things because I am always right. It’s one of my few flaws. But you, Merlin, are many things, although psychic isn’t one of them. I can forgive you for that, however, because one of the things you are is hilarious, and another thing that you are is good-looking, and I could list more things but we’ve already spent hours talking and I have work at 9am, which only gives me eight hours to do that, and I don’t think that’s enough time, really.”

Steve's a little perplexed why nobody's challenging him. Nobody else is.

yessss. Eventually an obnoxious cable "news" host does challenge Cap, who does a wonderful challenge in response :D Though that doesn't shut him up, it does make me happy.

"I feel like I'm eleven again, the last kid picked for stickball," he told Clint, who'd patted him on the shoulder and offered to hold his head under the ice-water dispenser in the fridge.

Summary
Life isn't easy for Katara - for anyone from a Water Tribe, actually. Despite all the protesting and fighting, Water Tribe Men and Women still live under the discriminative laws of the Fire Nation. So really, she should be allowed to glare furiously as much as she wants at all those opressive bastards occupying all the seats in the bus because they have priority while making her 70 years old grandma stand the whole journey.
[Soulmates AU: Words you will speak at the same time as your soulmate written on your skin for Water Tribe; other kind of Marks for other Nations.]

Summary
Barnes’s daemon has a name, obviously, but he only ever calls her “Sweetheart”. At least, Sam’s fairly sure no daemons named their kid that in the 1910s, but hey, what does he know, maybe it was like the kids who used to get named after weird virtues and vices back in the Puritan days; maybe she’s lucky not to be Chastity or Prudence or Bread-of-Life.
Steve never calls her Sweetheart, though.

Bookmarker's Notes
This is so lovely. Bucky avoids Steve and his daemon hides, presumably so Steve (and his honey badger daemon) won't see how she's changed. Meanwhile, Bucky follows Sam around and it's all very sweet and funny and a bit heart breaking, until Steve is injured and then it's lovely and hilarious.
Sam is a treasure.
***
Sam is feeling some kind of emotional about this situation, honestly. It’s usually so much harder to sit on Captain Dumbass when he needs to be recovering, for one thing.
“How are you this stupid I swear to God,” Barnes fumes. “If you die I am gonna kill myself just to come drag your ass back so I can kill you myself, you human fucking disaster--” Steve starts to get up, carefully, and Bernie and Barnes both jerk their heads around and snarl at him in unison.
“I was just going to make lunch,” he protests. “I’m cleared for that.”
“Fuck no you’re not!” Barnes snaps. “I’m making soup. You’ll eat it. You eat your own cooking right now you’ll probably fucking die.”
“He has a point, man,” Sam agrees mildly, still basking in the joy of not being the only one stuck bullying a grown-ass man into acting like an adult long enough to take care of himself. It’s pretty much the best thing that’s happened to him all month.
“I’m feeling very attacked right now,” Steve says.
