    Summary

    Sokka got separated from the rest of the Gaang in Gaipan, presumed dead but really just rotting on a prison ship. Zuko was banished to the 41st for his disrespect against his Father, floating around the military until he too was sent to jail for the worst crime of all: being liked more than the actual general.

    There's only one thing these boys have in common: A little sister they would do anything for.

    Is that enough to form a friendship for long enough to make it to the North Pole on foot, through the dangerous Whoop-up territory full of bandits and dark spirits?

    Spoiler alert: No. But throw in a 40 of fire whisky and they can cobble together *something* resembling friendship.

    Summary

    Some people have an angel on one shoulder and a devil on the other, but not Zuko. Divergence from the end of Blue Spirit. Zuko joins the Gaang early and drives Katara crazy. Mostly canon-style characterisation, tone, plot, (lack of) swearing and sex, violence ... mostly.

    Summary

    Shane's first mistake was going to talk to Ilya Rozanov before their game. His second was immediately, stupidly, meeting the eyes of Rozanov’s very much dead mother hovering at his side.

    Summary

    "When you're old enough, I'll make you a match with someone who is worthy of you. Someone who's brave and gentle and strong." - Ned Stark to Sansa Stark

    "He was the heart of chivalry, and the soul of wisdom, and came to serve his father most ably as Hand..." - writings of Maester Yandel about Baelor "Breakspear" Targaryen

    ***

    The war for the dawn is lost. With no hope left, Bran and Sansa choose to die by their own hands instead of waiting for the White Walkers and their army of the dead. Breathing his final breaths, Bran flies one last time, meets the Bloodraven and grabs at the last chance he hopes would somehow turn defeat to victory.
