There Is No Fire Lord by OccasionalStorytelling for MuffinLance
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender
08 Sep 2020
Tags
Summary
This is an AU for MuffinLance's "zuko botches his escape attempt and spends the rest of the war in prison then has to be Fire Lord having never gotten his redemption arc" Towards the Sun. This is more of a "zuko botches his escape attempt and spends the rest of the war in prison, and then when he becomes Fire Lord they leave him in prison" kind of thing.
After committing treason, Zuko spends months in prison, and even after both his father and Azula go missing, the guards can't coax him out of his cell. And then the Avatar shows up. How's the Gaang supposed to talk to a Fire Lord who doesn't even believe he's the Fire Lord?

Summary
again and he silently begged for any sea god to please let him out of the dizzying, pitch-black hell. His body ached from getting beaten into the box’s side. The water was stale and disgusting in his gills. There wasn’t any light and he couldn’t see anything.
He was so full of fear he was beginning to get numb to it.
He didn’t know what these humans wanted with him, but he knew it couldn’t be good if they started by shoving him into this too-small box and tossing him around like a boat on an angry sea.

Clark is an aquatic mammals trainer at the Metropolis Aquarium and Bruce is their very unruly new resident. Clark doesn't realise that Bruce is only the first of many mers that are going to live in the Aquarium.

Summary
Zuko tries.
Agni, he tries. Uncle wants so desperately for him to do the right thing, and he wants to, he does, he does, he does-
So when the Water Tribe girl looks at him with wild eyes, begging for help, and Azula raises one eyebrow with a sneer, Zuko chooses.
Azula’s scream of anger when he blasts a fireball in her direction is almost worth the twenty Dai Li agents that immediately surround him.
(or: Zuko is taken prisoner by Azula in the catacombs. Turns out, being kept miles away from the sun isn't so great for your bending.)

Summary
“I think he’s sick.” Bato says flatly. “So unless you want the next meeting to include the Fire Lord puking all over the budget scrolls, maybe see if he's okay?”
Hakoda glances up the hallway, like perhaps Katara will appear and take over dealing with the prickly teenager. Of course, his daughter is off treating injured refugees with the Avatar, and Bato is still staring at him expectantly, arms crossed.
“Fine,” He sighs, and he claps Bato on the cheek before heading into the room.
Or: Zuko falls ill not long after Ozai's defeat. Hakoda sits with him and learns some unpleasant truths about his childhood.

Seeing Stars from Water Pools by angst_is_some_good_shit
Fandoms: Star Wars - All Media Types, Star Wars Original Trilogy

Summary
Luke Skywalker is born with a rare Naboolian recessive gene. He is born a merperson. This changes everything.
-
Lines of men in white armor marched in, following a more orderly formation than Luke had ever seen amongst Jabba’s people. The two lines separated to line each side of the room, before turning to face each other in sync. The room felt colder, somehow. A shadow fell over the open doorway, and Luke held still as he watched from his tank, frozen in place like all of Jabba’s people, as a figure in all black strode through the doorway.
“Lord Vader,” Jabba said, his translator repeating after him in basic, “welcome.”

Summary
“Gotham! I am here tonight to show you the hideous face of 'truth' and its destructive power to tear apart even the closest of bonds! We’re all held together only by illusions and lies, and the ‘truth’ dissolves them all." The new villain Veritas turned towards Bruce, syringe out and pointed towards the arm chained to his podium.“NOW! Under the compulsion of the serum, expose your true feelings: Tell the world what you hate the most about: Nightwing.”
Dick froze—every argument, every accusation thrown between the two running through his mind. He wasn’t sure if he could take it—to hear it spoken truthfully and directly. Hearing all of Bruce’s hatred, contempt, and disappointment in him poured out not just in a heated yelling match in the cave but in front of Damian, in front of the whole world.
Bruce coughed, blood flicking from his lips from a failed attempt to bite his tongue, and Dick hung his head in resignation. It was at least nice to know Bruce wasn’t eager to dump out his true feelings.
“His suit.” Bruce choked, and the room went silent.
AKA: This is just a fun little thing. Bruce loves his kids so much

Summary
"Where's your pops?" Terry shouted down the sidewalk.
"Dunno," Jason said. "Haven't seen him in a week. I stopped goin' lookin' for him a long time ago."
Hell, Jason was happy with the man's absence. Maybe it would stick, this time.
"He owes me fifty bucks." Terry, closer to Jason now, was still shouting.
Jason spun around and started walking backwards. "What'a'ya know," he said. "Me too."

AU where Jason is seventeen, his parents are alive, he works nights at a convenience store, and everything is about to go to shit.Series

Summary
Dick pushed aside the pain of his body and turned to face his brother, tail curling around the youngling’s smaller form.
“Come here,” Dick whispered, pulling him into his arms. “Don’t you know I’m strong enough?”
“Of course,” Jason answered with certainty. Then, less steadily, choked out, “I just—I can’t lose you too.”
OR the D&Jay mer AU I’ve always wanted to write
Featuring much Pain for both of them (:

Focuses mainly on the internal turmoil Jason would definitely have after all that with a side of a bunch of stubborn idiots who need better communication skills.

Nightwing was by no means a stranger, which is what made it all the more confusing when Clark found everything he knew about the hero reconstructed before his very eyes.
Or
