Always Read the Fine Print On Spirit Deals by thispatternismine

Summary
[ “Well, if it’s an opportunity to be a hero that you are after, I can provide it.”
This was exactly what he’d hoped for when he came here, to this particular cave, on this particular island, on this particular night, even as he wondered if the scroll he had found wasn’t more of a fiction than those ridiculous plays his wife & son enjoyed.
“There is a price to be paid, of course, as with all things.” ]This fic is about two things:
1) Treating Ozai as an actual character with motivations beyond simply Being Evil For The Sake Of Evilness, & dealing with his relationship with his family.
2) Making him suffer.OR:
Ozai makes a deal with a spirit. It does not go well for him.

Summary
When Azula met her brother in Ba Sing Se & told him he could come home, he believed her, even though she had made this exact offer before. This time there was no loose-lipped Captain to give the game away, & he was brought back to the Fire Nation not as a hero, but in chains.
When he is dragged from his cell months later, he expects to be facing his execution, not his coronation.

The Story of Us (Looks A Lot Like A Tragedy Now) by thispatternismine

Summary
The reveal in the comics that Ozai's & Ursa's marriage came about because of a prophecy makes no sense, because dammit you do not establish a great lineage through a second son unless you want a civil war. But... what if the fact that it made no sense was the whole point?
OR:
The Fire Sages bring Firelord Azulon a prophecy: That mixing the royal bloodline with that of Avatar Roku will create a mighty lineage. But there's a problem. Roku has one descendant of marriageable age, & she's already married to his second son, with a baby on the way. -

Summary
Agni has stood by as his children have used their gifts to burn the world, consumed with despair but reluctant to interfere. When the one who is meant to act as his intermediary in the mortal realm burns his own son in a shocking act of cruelty in front of a crowd who fail to step in, that is the final straw.
The Fire Nation descends into chaos at the sudden loss of firebending, & the war becomes bloodier still, as the troops fight on out of sheer desperation, terrified that a reckoning is now due.
And then Iroh, tending his injured nephew while trying to keep him safe from a vengeful father who blames him for this calamity, realises that Zuko's inner flame still burns...

Summary
[ “You dare suggest I betray Iroh? My firstborn?” The Firelord’s voice was laced with anger, and for a moment the flames around the throne flickered. Ozai froze; he’d failed. But then there was a pause, before his father continued, the flames returning to normal. “You have grown bold, to ask such a thing of me. Tell me why you believe I should, as you put it, use you.” ]
Instead of flying into a rage when Ozai demands that Iroh's birthright be revoked, Azulon asks for his reasoning. Ozai thinks this is a good sign. He is very wrong.

Summary
Zhaozai Palooza is an event dedicated to Ozai & Zhao, but doesn't require them to necessarily be paired with each other - just that at least one of them has to be a central character. I've done a mix of Hakozai, Urzai, & Zhaozai.

How to Block Tags With Site Skins (And Get Real Specific About It) by najio
Fandoms: No Fandom
25 Jun 2025
Tags
Summary
Just some info I've gathered over the past couple of weeks, about how to:
1. Block tags using Site Skins, block only fics that contain both tag A and tag B, and block fics with a tag that contains a certain phrase, unless they are a specific whitelisted tag
2. Highlight the tags in pretty colors! Or bold, or hide them!
3. Block mega-crossovers with a million different fandoms
4. Select for/block fics that are completed/rated something/have a certain category/don't have summaries
5. Block everything that doesn't have a certain tag, or one of a list of tags
6. Block orphan_account and tag block by author
7. Block only tags of specific types (fandoms, relationships, freeforms, etc.)
8. Block fics focused on original characters, and/or fics without any tags of a specific type
9. Block every pairing with two characters in it—case insensitive, any order, no matter how many other people are also in the tag
10. Block by number of tagsSeries

Summary
When Luo Binghe rejected Meng Mo as a teacher, the ancient spirit was too proud to beg and wheedle for a place in a corner of his mind. Instead, his attentions turned to the other intriguing prospect he’d met that evening: Shen Qingqiu.

Summary
But everything before the conference, he remembered perfectly well! He knew that he was the lord of Qing Jing Peak—though he couldn’t quite recall his discipleship or being appointed peak lord. He knew each and every one of the disciples he was master to, even if he struggled to remember small details like actually selecting them and bringing them onto the peak. He knew that he used to be a rather strict and harsh master—especially so with Luo Binghe—before he eased up and gradually became a bit more like the teacher he was nowadays. Even though he…couldn’t really remember…why he was so harsh…
Okay, so maybe Shen Qingqiu didn’t remember as much as he thought he did.
On the anniversary of the Immortal Alliance Conference, Shen Qingqiu forgets.

In want of a flower by Airuna

Summary
Shang Qinghua gets his drink spiked with a flower that makes him tell people exactly what he thinks of them. Which would be bad enough already but it happens in the middle of a meeting with several of his martial siblings.
Yeah, he is not going to survive this.
The only silver lining is that, at least, Mobei-jun is not here to hear what he has to say.
or.
My take on the Shang Qinghua drinks truth serum and goes off on his martial siblings and Mobei-jun trope because I love it and our underappreciated king deserves it. (Also someone needs to tell the truth to Shen Qingqiu and we all know it's not going to be Yue Qingyuan)

Summary
After making it to Jin Lan City to aid his martial brothers in curing a strange plague, Shen Qingqiu stumbles his way directly into a curse of his own. The fates have chosen a life to tie to Shen Qingqiu’s own—and of course it would be tied to the early arriving protagonist! As the curse worsens, Shen Qingqiu finds that distance between him and Luo Binghe begins to freeze him slowly. Literally freeze, he is at risk for hypothermia for not being right next to the guy who probably wants to turn him into a stick!
Wait—what do you mean Shen Qingqiu will also lose the ability to lie!? That's an integral part of him not being unceremoniously sent back to the life where he’s already dead!
