    Summary

    A messenger hawk practically fell from the sky and onto the deck. It croaked quietly in misery when a soldier scooped it up, its wings fluttering from exhaustion, feathers tipped in frost. The urgency that had driven the bird to fly beyond reason was immediately clear when the scroll was untied from its leg and slipped free from the oilcloth that had protected it from the elements – the wax seal of the head Fire Sage gleamed in the dying sunlight.

    **

    “Dead.” Admiral Zhao stared at the scroll. The almost habitual smirk was gone from his face, and his expression was almost slack from the shock. “The Fire Lord is dead?”

    ***

    OR:

    Before the Fire Nation fleet arrives at the Northern Water Tribe, news arrives that Ozai is dead. The planned invasion is called off, and Iroh and Zuko return to Caldera City to deal with the sudden change in regimes.

    Summary

    After the end of it all, ages after, Galadriel is called to Aman where a prisoner dwells in the shadows. A prisoner whose trial is at last approaching. And he will talk to one alone: Galadriel.

    Galadriel must devise three trials to put Sauron through to prove he is worthy of redemption - and failure is not an option. After the first two trials were less than a success, Galadriel has to pull out all the stops for the third and she does not like it, at all. For the third trial will not only test Sauron but her as well. Because for this most crucial one, she will have to live through a time where when Sauron asks her to join him, she tells him yes.

    Summary

    In theory, the plan was simple. In practice, it was doomed from the start.

    Rook never intended to join the Inquisition – especially not a decade in the past. But when a mission sends her hurtling through time, she must navigate old enemies, new alliances, and a different kind of face-off with the Dread Wolf, after already defanging him once.

    Summary

    For a second, Katara is helpless. No bending, no running, not when she’s trying to pull air into her lungs, feeling the world spin nauseatingly around her.

    That’s all Zuko needs.

    He pins her with a truly insulting ease, grabbing her wrists to hold both down, and she is well and truly caught. She glares up at him – he is soaked from the water she has been throwing at him, but his golden eyes are glaring right back at her, and there’s that sneering curl to his lip that makes her want to dump half the ocean on his head.

    He leans down and she can feel the heat of his breath in her ear.

    “Leaving so soon?” he hisses.

    ***

    OR: Zuko captures Katara, and imprisons her on his ship to use as bait to try to capture Aang.

    No plan truly survives contact with the enemy. And this plan… goes absolutely sideways.
