    Summary

    Sunlight peeps through the blinds. Ann laughs loudly at something Makoto shows from her phone, and at the same time, Ryuji groans from losing the game they were playing with Futaba on their phones. Morgana perks from Haru’s lap to see what Ann’s laughing at as Yusuke sketches the cup in front of him.

    Ren feels like an impostor, intruding on one of the rare moments of his friends actually being carefree and relaxed. He’s been feeling the undying static in his head for a while. It doesn't seem like it'll phase away.

    He ignores that, too.

    Back to business.

    ren breaks a glass. he then promptly breaks down.

    Summary

    Sokka did not expect to find an Airbender while fishing with his sister. He did not expect a Fire Nation ship to crash into their village, demanding the Avatar—who just so happened to be the aforementioned Airbender. And he did not expect a hot, sword-wielding, wise-cracking Firebender to not only help them hijack the ship, but then declare that he would be the Avatar’s teacher.

    But when did anything ever go the way Sokka expected it to?

    (OR: Within minutes of its formation, the Gaang encounters a Zuko who has long since begun working against Ozai. This has consequences for just about everyone.)

    Summary

    There was a boy in the iceberg.

    Katara’s first instinct was to run to him, despite Sokka’s protests and his tugs on her sleeve. There was someone in need down there, and she wasn’t going to just leave him.

    He looked about sixteen, at first glance, sprawled at the bottom of the cavity she’d created. His untidy black hair fell over his closed eyes. His face looked almost peaceful, she thought.

    He was also wearing red.

     

    When Katara cracks an iceberg to find a Fire Nation boy, hers and Sokka's initial thoughts are that he's a spy sent to kill them.
    Turns out that isn't true.

    Summary

    "We're going to be alcoholics by the time we're thirty," Sokka sighed.

    "You think we'll live to be thirty?" Zuko asked, honestly thrilled. Sokka had pretty good instincts. Perhaps Zuko should reevaluate his long term goals. He could start by having long term goals.

    A more likely alternative was that Sokka was just a hopeless optimist. It just went to show, you never truly saw another man until you stood shoulder to shoulder against a fleet of war balloons intent on raining death upon the city you loved.

     

    Zuko was just a normal guy with normal interests. He liked theatre, burglary, crotchety ostrich horses, watching the Blind Bandit crush her opponents in a glorious display of skill and violence... just your standard banished prince things. It wasn't his fault he kept stumbling into rebellions and uncovering long-buried secrets. Fine, maybe freeing the prisoners was on him, but he was completely innocent of all other treason. Zuko was his father's loyal son. He'd never betray his nation.

     

    Or:
    Uncle Iroh took a more creative approach to fostering Zuko's appreciation of other cultures. Now it's everyone's Problem.
