    "But what good came of it at last?"
    [...]
    "Why, that I cannot tell," said he;
    "But 't was a famous victory."

    sorrow found me when I was young; sorrow waited, sorrow won

    Summary

    It's been twenty years since the Georgia Flu wiped out most of humanity in under a week. What's left of the world is dangerous, but there is still beauty, and hope, and community, and art and music thrive in the right places, among the right people.

    Sloane has lived most of her life in the isolated Severn City Airport, one of the adopted children Reginald Hargreeves calls his Sparrows. She's fortunate, she knows. She's safe. But safety isn't exciting, and books and daydreams and watching the airport from her secret platform in some old scaffolding aren't satisfying anymore.

    Luther is an actor with the Travelling Symphony, a group that moves between settlements performing the works of Shakespeare under their director, Allison. He loves his chosen family and he's happy with the life he lives. He's lucky, he knows, and if there's any part of his life that's unfulfilling, reminding himself of that is -usually- enough.

    AU inspired by Station Eleven

    Summary

    "Dispatch? Kill Prince Zuko?!" Fire Lord Azulon hissed. "With Prince Lu Ten dead and Iroh without an heir? To leave me with only one grandchild to secure the monarchy? No, Prince Ozai! You have overstepped. Zuko will live, but not as your son. I will give him to Prince Iroh to raise as his own son, as his heir."

    When Fire Lord Azulon ordered Iroh to adopt Zuko, it seemed like the magic wand that would fix everything that was wrong in Zuko's life. But life inevitably finds a way to blow up in Zuko's face. A loose retelling of the Avatar story featuring Fire Lord Iroh, angsty Azula, Zuko joining Team Avatar in first season, and a Mai who is definitely (not?) going to kill Zuko.

    Summary

    “It’s a model plane,” Luther blurts, feeling unexpectedly bad about not telling Five what he’s up to. “I, uh, found it while I was cleaning. Thought I’d put it together.”

    “Ok.” Five glances at the other model planes hanging from the ceiling.

    Silence hangs for a beat.

    Luther swallows. “I, um, was going to throw it away, though. My hands are too big, I can’t… I can’t pick up the pieces right.”

    Five doesn't react for a moment, before: “Do you want help?
