    Summary

    After the events of War Crimes, Sokka and Zuko have escaped Zhao’s warship and are fleeing across the Earth Kingdom. As well as unfamiliar terrain, they have to navigate their shared trauma, work out where they fit into the war, and their place in each others lives.

    Sokka is aware that being friends with the enemy is going to bring complications, but he probably should have guessed that being friends with Zuko in particular, was going to be a bit like dunking your head repeatedly into a bucket of angry Fire Ferrets.

    Katara is also grappling with the confusion of befriending an enemy, something that doesn’t prove as difficult as she had expected with the bond of shared, furious grief bridging old wounds. (Learning a new way to look at her bending doesn't hurt either)

    Azula, struggling with the Fire Lord’s mistrust, encounters a few nasty surprises and has to make some difficult decisions. Luckily, she is a great deal better at making sensible choices than her brother.

    Her father may have made a slight tactical error.

    Summary

    “So.”
    “So.”
    “I made a list,” Foggy pulls out his phone, tapping at his screen, “If you’re ready.”
    He’s not. “As ready as I’ll ever be.”
    “Item one, non-negotiable.” And Matt downs as much of his drink as he can in one swallow. “No killing.”
    “What?” Matt blinks, “Fog, you know I won’t—”
    “Good, that’s easy,” Foggy’s heart has sped a little, “I’m counting voluntary manslaughter, so maybe no more brain swelling comas either.”

    --

    With the Devil out of the bag, there's nothing left to keep Matt and Foggy apart; except for Foggy's bruised trust. He comes over to talk terms, rules, and everything that brought them here.
    A non-linear exploration of Matt's life from Stick onwards.

    Summary

    Elizabeth never told anyone that she saw Michael planting flowers in their backyard the very same day William must have gone missing. Michael didn’t even like gardening.

    Her brother isn't himself. He hasn't been in a very long time. Perhaps, he'll never be again. Maybe Elizabeth's just grieving what never really left.

    Summary

    Mike gives a lot, and Michael has slowly learned to be okay with accepting. Key word slowly.

    The only real issue he has left these days is the fact that Mike won't ever really let him reciprocate, so he sets about fixing that. Valentine's Day is a convenient excuse, isn't it?

    AKA they fuck crazy nasty style twice, for two different reasons, but there's a lot of feelings and Michael Afton Branded Guilt™ in there. Licks my lips. Go forth, my longest one-off ever.
