Summary
He wants to slide Eddie’s rings off and see if they fit him too, to see Eddie’s hands laid bare and naked and to explore them, a new continent of prospect. He wants to discover the hills and plains of Eddie’s skin, to see the fault lines where territory was hidden from the sun by metal, to name cities and towns in the contours of his palm. To bless them with the barely there press of his lips, like a prayer to the gods for a bountiful harvest and a fruitful womb.
Despite everything telling him not to, Steve wants.
He wants. Badly.
And maybe, he’s finding, that’s okay.

Summary
But the facetime rings out. And the call. And the dozen calls after that. Maybe she’s busy, so Fatin sends a few texts. And Fatin is starting to feel a little crazy, like a parasite, too dependent on Dot for her own good. And maybe she’s starting to feel like she should be taking a hint, because Dot has been answering less and less. And maybe Dot just has bad reception. She’s probably driving or something. Maybe she needs space. So Fatin sets down her phone and waits.
Dot doesn’t respond the next day.
Or the day after that.
---Or, Fatin's POV while Dot was gone, learning how to live post-island and cope without her
Or, sometimes life is a broken girl trying to get over another broken girl with the help of her best friend who is falling in love with her, while maybe subconsciously falling for her best friend too (she doesn't know it yet)

Summary
But it isn’t just those memories with her dad. In some sick, twisted way, the grime under her nails and the smokey scent of campfire clinging to her hair reminds her of the better parts of the Island. The parts that she clasps close to her chest. Moments aside from the fear of death, the constant state of survival, survival, survival. Eight bodies draped over one another around crackling flames. Pot gummies loosening their tongues and inhibitions. Laughing and playing chicken in the ocean. That moment during sunset where escaping sunlight hits dark skin at just the right angle, making it glow with hues of orange, pink, and red. The urge to press her mouth firmly against a certain thin-lipped smirk.
---Or, a character study of Dot Campbell's altruistic, self sacrificing personality in conjunction with her love for Fatin
Or, Dot is stupid and doesn't realize she's allowed to want things and deserves to be selfish

Summary
The first time he killed someone, it didn’t really feel like killing. Hands clapped his back, laughing men in camouflage remarking at his surprisingly good aim. It was surreal. Richie Tozier, the Trashmouth himself, wannabe comedian, marine enlistee, CEO of terrible your-mom jokes, was finally good at something. This weedy little kid with his trademark curls shaved clean away and a military issue rifle still in his newly calloused hands had just killed four men at long range without blinking. And as their blood stained the sand, the blood of men with families, men who, despite their malicious cause, were still only men, Richie found his place in the world was clear. He was destined to be the man behind the scope, murder in his hands, a puppet on a string. It wasn’t the life he had imagined, not bright lights and laughs from an audience, but it was a life nonetheless.
---Hitman! Richie AU inspired by me binging the first season of Barry in a five hour period

Summary
Dorothy Campbell doesn't know who she is. She never got the chance to properly grieve her best friend and only family before being shipped away to an island and constantly trying to survive 'til morning, so how the fuck does she figure out how to live now? When she drops off the face of the earth after returning to Texas, intent on figuring that the fuck out, she doesn't think she'll be missed. She's very wrong.
Fatin Jamandi is fucked up enough. Her parents are still fighting, maybe worse than ever. She was stranded on an island for a while, almost dying SEVERAL times. She can't sleep, and yet never wants to get out of bed. And now the girl she's in love with has disappeared, whether by choice or not unclear. How could her life possibly get worse?
Leah Rilke is there to pick up the pieces for her best friend as she pines and falls apart. And maybe she's in love with said friend. But it isn't about her, it's about Fatin, and so she shoves it down and survives. Except maybe she's really angry.
---Or, 3 different intertwining character studies as they figure out friendship, mental health, trauma, grief, and--most pivotally--how to navigate being in love, maybe with more than one person at once.

Summary
“I know what’s going on with you,” Eddie’s voice is practied, that same soothing drawl he uses with patients. Buck isn’t a patient; he’s his best friend, damnit! Buck sobs and grabs hold of Eddie’s shirt to shake the brunet weakly, but through the pain searing through his body, he can’t muster the strength to.
“Jus’- tell me! Am I dying?!” Buck sobs, unable to get a hold of his emotions. He feels all over the place, but the one constant is pain.
“Well,” Eddie starts, stops, and then forces the words out of his mouth at Buck’s harsher glare. “You’re pregnant, and currently in labor, Buck. That pain? Those are contractions, and that puddle is from your water breaking.” Oh, so Buck wasn’t prepared. Because… what?!

Summary
“Buck, seriously.” Eddie catches his eye, staring intently, attempting to beam the anxiety straight into Buck’s brain. “I know we’re both playing it cool, but… How are you not freaking out right now? I’m freaking out right now.”
Buck quirks an eyebrow. “I thought you didn’t panic.”
“I don’t,” Eddie insists. “But I woke up in the wrong body this morning, and I had to—” He lowers his voice, ducking closer to Buck. “I touched your dick, man. Which—you know.”
A violation of boundaries. A line that can’t be uncrossed. Something Eddie feels deeply guilty about.
“You touched my dick?” Buck asks, approximately one billion decibels louder than necessary.
The room around them stills.
Or: Buck and Eddie switch bodies. Chaos ensues.

Summary
The wanted poster had the scar on the wrong side.
Maybe he didn’t care enough to look at the poster before it got sent out. Or maybe, Ozai didn’t actually remember which side of his son’s face he had burned off all those years ago. Zuko wasn’t sure what was worse. Ozai had know which side the scar was on. He had to remember. Right?
----
In which Zuko isn't sure Ozai knows which side of his face he burnt off and it sends him spiraling.- Language:

Summary
Zuko's soul marks have been regularly burned away since before he knew what they meant. He knows that he cannot be loyal to his father and his nation while also being loyal to a soul family, so he doesn't look for them. Unfortunately, that means that he doesn't know when he's found them.

Summary
Bato, confirmed bachelor, heartthrob of the Southern Water Tribe (self-proclaimed), and prankster extraordinaire, lives an easygoing life of freedom.
He is perfectly happy with this setup. He does not want responsibilities. He does not want children. In fact, under no circumstance does he ever, ever want to be a father.
Sadly for him his best friend is Hakoda, who is determined to make his life as difficult as possible.
Asshole.
Bato’s journey through fatherhood as Zuko’s dad, one painstaking step at a time. Including (but not limited to) taking baths, fending off boys, and dealing with the misfortune of being friends with Hakoda.
