    Summary

    “What are you doing here?” Rumi hisses, angry and stressed and hit by the exhaustion of her very long guilt-filled day all over again. She has so many questions to ask— demand, really— and Jinu humming pleasantly does not soothe her nerves.

    “Was looking for you.” He says. His voice is… Slurring a bit. Not so badly that she can’t understand him but just enough to be noticeable. It makes Rumi’s eyebrows furrow, confusion overtaking everything else. “Was thinking of writing you a letter but… I needed to see you sooner.”

    Some traitorous part of her flushes just a little at the admission before she shakes it off. Everyone wants to be wanted, it doesn’t mean anything if she’s flattered by it. Rumi has to steer her thoughts back on topic because Jinu is acting… Not normal.

    (Or a few days after Rumi first proposes her plan to him, Jinu accidentally gets doused with ‘Cuddle Pollen’ and ends up on Rumi’s balcony, making it her problem. The need for physical proximity is one thing but Jinu is also noticeably in a… Different state of mind.)

    Summary

    The bathhouse ambush follows the same old script, the same old plot.

    He changes it up, just a tad. Rumi holds out her sword to him, both of them circling each other in a dance, and Jinu decides screw it.

    He steps forward, she prepares for war, but the tip of her sword touches his chest, right where his heart should be. The sword glows and crackles, reacting to him, pulsing in time with his breath; Rumi’s eyes dart to it then back on Jinu, wide and unsure.

    He smiles. “Hey Rumi, what am I supposed to do?”

    And then he walks into her blade. It pierces him true, and he relishes holding her, if only for a mere fraction of a second, their time limited.

    Just when things start to fade away, he hears it, barely: “J-Jinu?”


    Rumi’s single word keeps echoing in his head, all he can hear. She shouldn’t have known his name yet. She shouldn’t have that gentle a tone yet.


    Every time Jinu dies, he's flung back in time to right after the first Soda Pop performance. Why and how, he knows not. All he knows is Rumi is there with his soul each and every time.

    Summary

    Katara went undercover at a Fire Nation Ball hosted at the royal palace. Her intent was to discover weaknesses in the nation's defenses and ways to potentially blackmail powerful individuals in the highest places of power. There was only one real rule. Under no circumstances was she to interact with the Prince or the Fire Lord, as while the explanation for avoiding the latter was obvious, the Prince was potentially more volatile and dangerous.
