Summary
When Grace gets seemingly teleported by means unknown into the SM-13 right as it was nearing The Light, both Simon and Grace have no idea what is happening. Grace knows he was supposed to be in his house on Erid, Simon knows this new guy cannot possibly be a hallucination, and Ava, upon hearing Grace ramble about theories for how he got there, knows that new guy is Smart. Could-Secure-Our-Survival Smart.
She orders Simon to bring Grace back to the surface, and thus begins Grace's ordeal in a starless universe.- Language:

Summary
[In another life, Zuko finds a poster for a missing bison outside Pao’s teashop, dresses himself in black, and resumes his mission with the kind of single-minded focus he hadn’t been able to muster for months.
In this life, Zuko finds a poster for a missing bison, stares at it for a bit with his insides roiling around his heart like a ship caught in a storm, and crumples it up in one hand before tossing it into the trash and going back inside.]
Sometime during late spring in the city of Ba Sing Se, Zuko serves tea (badly), falls in love (maybe), and deals with a chronic illness of the soul.

Summary
Azula's hand swept far above the basin, yet the water flew from the bowl, spilling onto the ground, shining in the silver moonlight. Time stood still for a moment, and Iroh's heart skipped a beat. "I need a teacher." His niece whispered so quietly, Iroh almost didn't hear her, "I-" Her voice broke. "I can't control it anymore. I'm always looking over my shoulder, afraid, but the Avatar spirit won't let me hide. So, here I am. Help me, Uncle."
"You are the Avatar." The words left his mouth as though the air had been punched from his gut. Azula winced, looking away. Iroh's world turned upside down. This would mean the Earth Avatar had died in Ba-Sing-Se long before his siege at the wall. Lu Ten's death was for naught. Iroh clenched his jaw. No, losing Lu Ten led him to a girl who needed his guidance.

Summary
Zhao gives the archer one command, "shoot to kill."
The archer doesn't miss.
Just like that: Zuko's life becomes pain. Stabbing. Piercing. Carnal and red. Ribbons of it shoot across his face like lightening, radiating from his eye. So, all-consuming he is surely nothing but that pain. It takes everything from him, even his memories.
OR: The arrow shot at Zuko during "The Blue Spirit" actually hits him and not his mask. Leaving the traitor prince horribly injured with no memories. In his delirium he decides he can trust Aang. Aang sees an opportunity for him and Zuko to become friends. Sokka isn't sure how to feel about any of this. Much less, his growing feelings for the new addition to their party. And Katara can't help but worry... how will Zuko react when he learns the truth?
