Remain by Cantare for unhappy_sometimes

Summary
The lady in Papa's mind was very pretty. Prettier than the princess in the book. Her hair was long and shiny, with a fancy gold clip in it, and she wore a black dress and tall boots. Her skin was pale and kind of glowy like a ghost, but her eyes were deep red like cranberries.
Even though the lady was happy in his memories, Papa was not happy. The gloomy clouds in his mind grew heavier each time he thought about her.
Anya just wanted Papa to be happy for real. She thought that the bit of happiness he’d felt when he’d first brought Anya home would keep growing and growing, but it had gotten stuck like a little plant trying to grow in a sidewalk crack. How could she get it unstuck?
-----
In a world where Yor has already passed, Twilight adopts a young girl he rescued from Project Apple. And slowly, with his daughter's help, he learns to grieve and move on.
A fan sequel to the masterfully written Follow by unhappy_sometimes.

Summary
"When Katara looks at him, her eyes are affectionate and unexpectedly sorrowful, startlingly blue against the stark white of her hair. The last, dying rays of the sun slant across the pai sho board, and her gaze slides from his face to the tablecloth.
Later, Zuko will remember this as the moment he knew."
Or: Zuko and Katara, eighty years later.

Summary
When they were kids they shared her bed at sleepovers. Ekko would sleep on one end and she’d sleep on the other. She would hog the blanket, talk in her sleep, and kick him in the stomach everytime she rolled over, but he never said anything about it, not even when it kept him awake all night.
The light here is different to how it was then. On her face it cuts like glass into her mouth and cheeks. It gnarls her knuckles into knots. It turns her into someone else.
Ekko, suddenly, is no longer nine years old and shrieking everytime she presses her cold feet again his calves.

Summary
It’s like playing dress up, like they used to, because Vi wouldn’t ever. She strips him past his jacket to a tank top and pants and she traces the contractions of muscle under his arms where veins travel and converge with paint on her fingers.
Ekko’s skin is more warm and alive than hers is anymore.
For her he leaves splotches and swirls of paint all over. Arms, legs, chest, back. Into her side he sears a huge blue star. The pink under her cheeks count as another encounter with closeness and his eyes again. Only a small amount of it is rubbed away by a sweaty fist and laughter.
She stands with both arms out, “Are you trying to mark me?”

A Carefree Flying Bird (With Blue in Her Heart) by marisasgirl

Summary
Stinging, blurring, burning vision.
Steady finger guns. A disturbingly distant handshake with the one she loved most in the world, one final time.
Isha wished there was another way, but wishing had never saved her before.
She had never felt as cared for by another person as she did in those last moments, wide amber eyes locked onto Jinx before she raised the smuggled gun, its three hextech gemstones flashing uncontrollably, and aimed it at the sky. She closed her eyes, envisioning her mentor, her strength, and pulled the trigger.
— or —
Isha survives the blast, with a little unexpected help—but not without a price.
Jinx will do anything to protect her protégé, but what is Isha to her? A friend? A sister ? A daughter? Forced to confront the consequences of Isha's survival, Jinx becomes everything the child has always needed—perhaps even healing herself in the process.
How long can their fragile world survive? Their own little fantasy, woven from love and chaos, teeters on the edge. Soon, everything they’ve built could crumble beneath them.

Jinx can't handle another death. The moment she saw Isha run toward Warwick, Jinx knew it was all going to happen again. But this time she could change it. She wouldn't let it.

She loves the monster that dwells within his veins just as much as she loves him. For now, she will continue to swallow these feelings. Love is a dangerous game, after all.
An absence of fear does not mean an absence of shame—and Kafka will drown herself in shame before she makes a fool of herself.
And oh how desperately she wishes to make a fool of herself.
