Summary
But then why is he chasing you? A voice in the back of his mind spoke up. Why isn’t he back at the Royal Palace, doing… royalty stuff? Aang was fairly sure there hadn’t been any runaway princes a hundred years ago – at least not without an army to back them up. And he was trying, he really was, but Zhao was scary and Zuko was technically a traitor, and were you still even royalty if you betrayed the Fire Lord–?
Looking back at Zuko, Aang made his choice.
And saw that it was much, much too late for that choice to mean anything.
Aang takes a little too long to act when he discovers the Blue Spirit’s identity — an identity soon exposed at large — and Zuko is brought back into Pohuai Stronghold. That night, Aang overhears a little too much, and Zuko gains a little too good of an understanding of what it means to be captured. With chances of returning home dwindling, Zuko begins asking Iroh what his mission truly means, while Aang is ecstatic that there may be more to Zuko’s motivations than they all thought.
All the while, a letter is racing over the seas to the Royal Palace. And one Fire Nation Princess may soon be on everyone’s trail…

Summary
“Dude, how are you taking this so well, you’re literally- ohh my gosh, I don’t know what to do, I don’t know how to help, you’re…”
“Well, it gives me my reason to start a resistance.”
Images of a past of pursuit, of a fugitive future fill Jimmy’s mind’s eye. “No, you literally said-”
“Yeah, no resistance without a good reason. This,” Grian gestures around, “sucks.” He pushes away from the railing, standing up straight; the cloak on his back flutters as he begins to walk alongside Jimmy. “I might as well have fun with it.”
Jimmy looks down. After a few moments: “I guess, yeah.”
“Very good,” is the response. “You’re in, right?”

“It’s not even winter! Your dude just wants to cause winter in spring!”
“Yeah, Red Winter! Think of Santa, Martyn, think of the elves!”
“The elves are green!”

Or: Jimmy picks a strange story to tell at a Christmas meet-up. From… Grian’s friend Ren, of all people? Who apparently thinks Martyn, who barely knows the dude, might get it? Weird…

Summary
“I dunno, it seems… seems pretty bad, actually. Remote spreading…huh. Rotting tech?” The Relation’s happy bleeping stopped as a full article was scrutinised. “Danger to internal nanotech reported… risk of organ failure, loss of life. Beware the infected, they have lowered impulse control and heightened aggression…”
-No. No way. No way technology had seriously started a zombie apocalypse.
“Dude-”
“Oh, I’m so heading down there.”
–––
Or, space pirates Joel and Grian head to a planet that's recently experienced some sort of massive disaster. The perfect opportunity to loot, right?

Summary
"Today, as I wandered my garden,
Awash in the croon of the creek,
I heard from the ground a puzzling sound:
A mix betwixt sobs and a sqeak."–––
A poem about a gardner finding two mice beneath their mango tree.

Summary
“Aang? I’m not going to let them take you away from me,” Gyatso said without preamble, walking into the room.
He watched as Gyatso took in the scene: the note on his bed, Aang fully dressed and standing at the window with his glider clutched tight, ready to leave. Gyatso’s eyes widened with the realization, and the look he shot Aang, so full of heartbreak, made his cheeks burn with shame.
“Aang?”
Aang’s shoulders sagged. Of course Gyatso wouldn’t let them send him away. For a moment, all he felt was relief. And then he dropped his glider with a clatter on the ground and rushed towards Gyatso, still standing in the doorway with his hand resting on the post. He wrapped his arms tight around his teacher’s waist and pressed his face into the warm woolen robes.

Aang stays. The world changes.

Summary
In those days, you could say I was one of a kind. At least, to the best of my knowledge then, and to the best of my knowledge now, I have never met another like myself.
I am half wind spirit, see, and half mortal. My father was an elemental god, my mother a mortal woman.
You understand, right?
They were my parents, Amos and Decarabian.

Bring Your Wisp to Work Day by The_Cinderninja for xochitai

Summary
Another strike of lightning cracks across the sky. The thunder that follows is so loud it feels like the whole building is shaking. Venti presses his hands against his ears, trying to drown out the screaming winds, trying to tamp down on his own screaming instincts. His vision blurs. He blinks furiously, trying to remember his name.
I am Venti. I am a bard. A human bard.
I don’t want to be small again.
He is more than a wisp now, truly, and yet—
His chest tightens, and suddenly he’s on his feet. He is a thread of the thousand winds, and the storm is calling him. His skin prickles. He bolts.
