    NOTE: All fics here contain fictionalized versions of my perception of actual people - basically characterizations based off of how I perceive them. This is not meant to be a serious portrayal, nor an accurate depiction. These are real people deserving of respect, especially to their privacy and real lives. If any real person who a character is based off of in these fics announces they are not comfortable with any portrayal of themself in written works please let me know and the fic containing them will be taken down or edited accordingly. Thank you!

    Summary

    After Caine's torture of the players, he returns to sanity and manages to stay for a little longer than in the show, time enough to express the horror and regret of his own actions.

    But still, the deletion happens, and the players are left in a broken circus now filled with voices echoing all of their regrets.

    All is not lost, though, as Kinger realises that maybe they can still be saved; the key to getting the circus back is, of course, rather obvious. Caine is needed.

    Summary

    A week.

    That's how long it takes to delete Abel. It's... Surprisingly easy, with the AI barely having a grasp on the circus code, it doesn't take much.

    ...

     

    A week, is all it takes for him to break Caine.

    Summary

    Azula's hand swept far above the basin, yet the water flew from the bowl, spilling onto the ground, shining in the silver moonlight. Time stood still for a moment, and Iroh's heart skipped a beat. "I need a teacher." His niece whispered so quietly, Iroh almost didn't hear her, "I-" Her voice broke. "I can't control it anymore. I'm always looking over my shoulder, afraid, but the Avatar spirit won't let me hide. So, here I am. Help me, Uncle."

    "You are the Avatar." The words left his mouth as though the air had been punched from his gut. Azula winced, looking away. Iroh's world turned upside down. This would mean the Earth Avatar had died in Ba-Sing-Se long before his siege at the wall. Lu Ten's death was for naught. Iroh clenched his jaw. No, losing Lu Ten led him to a girl who needed his guidance.

    -

    An AU where Aang drowned at sea. Two cycles later, desperate, the Avatar Spirit chose a girl who was born a prodigy. A princess trained in the art of war, burdening her with the spirit of balance. A unwilling child thrust into a war that she must end. After avoiding her responsibility as Avatar, she is forced out into the world to face her destiny and right the wrongs of her nation. An Avatar Azula Story.
