    Summary

    Or: 5 times Julian watches Miles die (and 1 time he doesn't).
    A 3x17 Visionary remix.

    When a bar fight goes horribly wrong, Julian does everything he can to save Miles. It’s not enough. Miles dies, and Julian is left bereft and distraught.

    But this is a time loop fic, so when he wakes up the next day, Julian finds the universe has given him another chance to save his friend… And another… And another. There are many ways for Miles to die on a space station, and however much Julian tries – furiously repressing his ever-increasing grief and dread to focus on this so-important task – he just can’t seem to stop the endless cycle.

    It doesn’t help that, although his feelings are really too much to deal with, his friends keep pressing him to open up to them. He’s fine, he insists, until he really isn’t, and discovers that he does need a shoulder to cry on after all. Grief, hope, rage, hurt, comfort, despair, joy… A roller-coaster of emotions accompanies Julian through the most challenging six days of his life, and he is so, so tired.

    Summary

    Zuko realizes his destiny much earlier. As in, as soon as he wakes up in the palace after his Agni Kai and is told he is banished. Unfortunately, he's never been a patient one. So he storms right up to Ozai and tells him what he's going to do. And gets locked up for over three years. Then, one day, he's being pulled out and told he's the new Fire Lord.

    A "Zuko never meets the Gaang and suddenly becomes Fire Lord after three years of literal torture" AU. In which the Gaang doesn't know what to think of the new Fire Lord who happens to be the missing nephew of Aang's firebending teacher, Iroh constantly has a headache, and, sure, maybe the world hates the Fire Nation, but the Fire Nation LOVES Zuko, and he can work with that.

    Summary

    -
    At sixteen years old, Tommy knew so many things.

    He knew that people were predictable and selfish. He knew not to trust, not to take, and not to get comfortable for too long. He knew that the concept of family was as fake as the highlights in his last foster mother's hair.

    Tommy had known for years that life was painful and had no extra love for some ratty foster kid like him. He knew that it was him and his copy of The Odyssey against the whole world. He knew that he only had to survive long enough to make it to his eighteenth birthday before he could escape.

    But when Tommy ends up fostered in the Watson household completely by chance, he finds that maybe he never knew anything in the first place.
    //
    or, the one in which Tommy Innit has never really experienced love, family, or belonging, and is suddenly surrounded by it all at once.

    Summary

    this is an obligatory sbi foster au

     

    While obligatory, this series challenges a few pervasive narratives and hopes to rewrite foster aus as a concept through radical acceptance, diversity, and realistic healing.

    Most people writing foster aus have no idea what they're doing. And tbf- that's okay. Most people aren't reading foster aus for accuracy. But as someone who is knowledgable about these systems and the trauma of foster care, I really wanted to see an au that tackled these concepts head on. So I did it myself.

    Thus, encompass was born, a foster au that tackles topics such as
    -disability
    -neurodiversity
    -queer identities
    -self harm and recovery
    -abuse cycles
    -intersex identities
    -how the foster system actually works
    -guilt, shame, and pride
    -and so much more
