    Summary

    “Your dad,” Sokka starts, then swallows hard. “Your dad dueled you, burned half of your face off, and then banished you because you spoke when you shouldn’t have?”

    Guilt festers and bubbles like black tar in Zuko’s chest. “I didn’t just speak. I questioned and insulted one of his highest-ranking generals—but the man was planning a massacre! He shouldn’t have—” Zuko clamps his mouth shut, his teeth clicking together, and swallows thickly. “I mean. I found the tactic he proposed very startling, but it wasn’t my place to question such things. I’m sure he had his reasons.”

    “Tui and La what the absolute fuck,” Sokka whispers.

    [Zuko gets imprisoned with Sokka and Katara during the winter solstice, and some very unfortunate things come to light. Alternatively: the gaang kidnaps adopts Zuko in book one after discovering just how awful his father is.]

    Summary

    Childe goes missing after investigating reports of an Abyss Mage in Guili plains.

    Of course, the Fatui can’t let it be known that they’ve lost their Harbinger, so they would only ask assistance from someone their master trusts.

    Meanwhile, someone watches from the Abyss in mild interest. Watching him, the boy who escaped the void’s dark clutches.

    But the Abyss never leaves a person.

    (This is old and not very good, so read with that in mind!)

    Though, it can be made stronger.

    Summary

    His eyes fell on the handle of the knife, still lying where he had dropped it. Half intact. Just enough to see the initials carved in the sloppy way of a child. Just enough to realize, somewhere deep behind the snarling in his chest, was a child who recognized them.

    All you do is run.

    So he ran, the legacy ripping free like skin torn from a too-fresh wound, losing its purchase even as he grew more afraid, because it was the act of a coward, to run. The desperate last act of a dying child who had once been called Ajax.

     

    Maybe it was shame.
    Maybe that was why he could never remember her face.

    the abyss needs an archon, and the abyss never forgets

    Summary

    "I come with you," Razor gruffs, as he quickly, clumsily organizes his things on the ground. "I protect you. You don't get hurt."

    "A-are you sure? I'm going all the way to Stormterror's Lair. That's.... pretty far from home for you, isn't it?" Bennett manages in the weakest of protests.

    Razor shoots Bennett a look, and says, "You have big journey. Go alone, many danger. With pack, more safe."

    Bennett tries, and fails, to swallow back the overwhelming feeling of, of giddy excitement and genuine joy that blooms inside him at the fact that Razor wants to travel with him. That he wants to... to go out of his way to keep Bennett safe.

    --

    Bennett is asked to fulfill a commission in the Stormterror's Lair. As luck would have it, Razor wants to go, too.
