Summary
The ‘thing’ in question is a roughly-cut stone, attached to a length of blue leather with a simple steel clasp. Zuko looks up at Sokka. “What is this?”
Sokka grins. “It’s a betrothal necklace!”
Zuko chokes on his own spit.
Or: five times Zuko catches Sokka with a betrothal necklace, and the one time he doesn’t.

Summary
He kicked himself, mind going into overdrive as he saw Sokka’s brow furrow. He’d thought it had been too quiet for him to hear, but maybe he was wrong and Sokka had heard and now knew, and was confused because he was trying to figure out how to let him down gently, and Zuko had just ruined everything-
“I have absolutely no clue what you just said,” Sokka announced after a moment, dropping his sword to his side. “I couldn’t hear you over all the wheezing.”
or,
Five times Zuko says I love you and Sokka doesn't hear, and one time he does.

Summary
Zuko loved his Father, like kindling loves the fire.
Ozai just wished he would die already.
(Or: Zuko’s father meant for him to die at the Agni Kai, but the spirits have a different plan, one that Hakoda didn’t recall signing up for.)

Summary
Fire Prince Zuko is meditating with his eyes closed on the floor of the Western Air Temple, and no one is attacking him, or even trying to, and it’s weird. Sokka will admit that even if no one else will.
Or,
Sokka makes some discoveries after Zuko joins the Gaang. Perhaps the Fire Prince has more honor than anyone had realized.

Summary
Assumed dead after his banishment, Zuko takes up The Blue Spirit mask. No one has seen his face in three years, and he won't let them. It's safer this way, being alone. After a Fire Nation general hires him to bring in Hakoda for questioning, he fails the job miserably and ends up a captive of the Water Tribe. When Sokka is employed by Iroh to track down Zuko and find out if he is still alive, The Blue Spirit claims that Zuko is in fact dead, and in a fit of panic, that he was the one who killed him.

Brushing the blood off my teeth (and I'm hoping that I'm getting better) by Kismetcanbiteme
Fandoms: KPop Demon Hunters (2025)
29 May 2026
Tags
Summary
They're standing above her now. The thrum of the Honmoon as Mira draws her weapon brings her back to the present.
Rumi decided a long time ago that when this moment came, she would meet her death gracefully. Her avenging angels stand over her weapons blazing. She would go quietly. Screaming would upset Zoey and only make Mira angrier.
She's glad it's them. There's no better sight than her hunters taking down the evil that haunts their world. Bad luck that Rumi is that evil.
She knows it’s time and Rumi is determined to spare them the inconvenience of her screams.
If you feel like you need to earn your fluff with some angst this one's for you. We're the same.Bookmarked by cryptidcrawler

Summary
Nothing in Mira's life had ever been blameless. It was always someone’s fault. Her brother’s, for being a coward, for putting Mira in the firing line to save his own skin. Her father’s, for thinking violence would make her the person he wanted her to be. Her mother’s, for telling her she wasn’t good enough, that she deserved it, for not protecting her.
Hers, for being too aggressive, too feckless, too difficult to love.
Celine’s, for every lie she’d told Rumi.
Being angry and protective is all well and good, but it's not always what people need.

Summary
Rumi touched her fingers to her ribs. She could feel the heat radiating from her skin, even through her clothes. A distant, miserable part of her said, this is going to hurt.
She pushed her fingers down.
The rib shifted.
The thing about telling one very big lie is that it requires a foundation of hundreds of smaller lies to hold it up, lies such as "I'm fine," and "nothing's broken," and "it doesn't hurt."
Rumi finds this out the hard way.

Summary
But then Eddie saw a whole pile of kids get in Harrington’s car, and he overheard Nancy Wheeler say that “Steve was babysitting,” and that image didn’t even remotely align with anything Eddie knew about King Steve “The Hair” Harrington, but he figured he didn’t know much, anyway, and it wasn’t any of his business, when it came down to it.
Eddie thought so little of it, in fact, that he had almost forgotten that Max had apparently been babysat by one Steve Harrington. That is, until Steve Harrington started showing up at the trailer park, picking up Max and driving away, and then Eddie wouldn’t see Max at home again for days on end.
Eddie didn’t know much about babysitting, but he was pretty sure the gigs were more of an hourly thing.
---
Or: Steve takes care of everyone, but Eddie takes care of him.

Summary
Eddie sighs and leans back in his chair. The plastic groans in protest under the weight of him. “You know, what sucks about all of this is that now I have to re-examine my biases. If Steve Harrington is actually, deep down, a decent guy, that means any of those asshole preps might be hiding a secret heart of gold. I mean, who’s next, Jason Carver?”
This makes Ant laugh rather hysterically. Eddie can’t tell if he’s doing it for dramatic effect or if he really thinks Eddie is that funny. “Okay, maybe not,” he concedes. “But you get my point.”
(the title is from a Mötley Crüe song of the same name)

Summary
Eddie Munson prides himself on seeing through people. So when he starts noticing Steve Harrington—really noticing—it’s to catalogue the hypocrisy of a former king playing babysitter. But the longer he watches, the more the picture refuses to make sense. Harrington isn't playing a role. The care is real, the patience is bottomless, and Eddie's own prejudices are staring back at him, ugly and undeniable.
A story about observation, misconceptions, and wanting to talk to someone so badly you accidentally threaten them with a weapon.

Summary
Steve's feet stumbled more than walked, but Hopper didn't care. He half-carried, half-dragged the kid toward the emergency room doors, his jaw clenched so tight it ached. Every step felt like it took too long.
As the two of them started to slowly stumble to the front of the ER, Hopper took a brief moment to think about it. Took a moment to think how despite everything—despite barely knowing the kid, despite all his preconceptions and assumptions, despite the amount of times Steve had purposefully acted like a smart-ass punk just to piss him off—Hopper had realized something tonight:
Steve Harrington was a good kid.

when my time comes around, lay me gently in the cold dark earth by What3verdud3

Summary
"Do you have any idea what it's like watching you drift further and further from us? Watching you turn yourself into something unrecognizable? Because I do. I've seen demons cling to human faces like masks. I've watched them mimic grief. Fear. Kindness."
"Mira." Zoey warns.
"And lately? When I look at you? I don't see the girl we grew up with and love."
Rumi's hands begin to shake. "...what do you see?" she whispers.
"A demon. I don't trust you. Not with me, not with Zoey, not with yourself. You're no different than any other demon we've come across. No different than Gwi-Ma."
There is a shocked silence.
Rumi face crumples, it reminds them of the way she begged just a few weeks ago. Begged them not to leave her. To love her. Things had been so good, she was selfish to think she could have this. To want this.
Her tone is flat and resigned. "Oh."-------
or Rumi tries to hide her full demon traits after the idol awards to protect Zoey and Mira from her, and out of fear that their new fragile relationship will break under the reveal. Mira lashes out in the worst way possible after she catches Rumi in yet another lie, and angst ensues.

Summary
“Don’t touch those, Rumi.”
Celine didn’t look away from the onions she was chopping.
Rumi froze, her hand wrapped around her upper arm. She jerked her hand away like she was about to put her hand down on top of a snake she hadn’t seen. “Why?”
Why’s and how’s drove Rumi’s world. If she understood the function of each gear, she’d know what the machine was supposed to look like when it came together.
“Because,” Celine responded, tone clipped. Her jaw was working, something Rumi had recently discovered to mean that she was angry. “Because it’s wrong. You’re not even supposed to have those.”
Rumi tugged the sleeve of her shirt down further. “Oh.”
A foundational gear of how the world worked was cataloged in her mind.
Don’t touch your patterns, they’re dirty.
Or, Rumi is incredibly repressed because of the shame she feels about her patterns.
