Summary
Friendship does not come to him easily..
Dream understands the general shape of it. He can see the lines of it when it draws others together. A part of him must know what it is. It is in the gentle lushness and golden light of Fiddler’s Green; it echoes when Matthew and Mervyn laugh, raucous and bright, in the library; it even shines from the warm note in Lucienne’s voice when she chides them for the noise. These are all parts of himself. Infinitesimal components of his vast entirety. This means he must know how it works.
It has to mean that.
(Aka: the classic "how they get together" fic. Aaka: two character studies stacked in a fic shaped trenchcoat.)

Summary
Part two of The art of living (See you in five?)
A year has passed since Orpheus returned to the world – to noise, to strangers, to coffee shops and airports and the overwhelming, beautiful chaos of being alive in a body again. It hasn't been easy. It hasn't been simple. But he isn't doing it alone.
With Dream of the Endless learning what it means to be a father in the present tense, and Hob Gadling, who has loved life stubbornly for six hundred years, showing him that stumbling is not the same as falling, Orpheus is finding his way. One song at a time. One day at a time.
Because surviving was only the beginning. Now comes the harder, stranger, more extraordinary part: the rest of their lives.

Summary
The bath takes care of the sweat. Takes care of the burnt bits of skin and fat that still cling to his palm. Zuko scrubs his body until it’s raw, blushing red; he dunks his head under the hot water and stays there, staring up at the dark, vaulted ceiling of the washroom until his lungs run out of breath to use.
The oil of honeysuckle and opium and cinnamon, sweet and sharp and earthy, does not wash the stench of scorched flesh out of his nose.Zuko falls asleep on the evening of his official coronation, when he’s twenty-one-years old and has finally reached his majority. Zuko wakes on the morning of the Agni Kai with his father, eight years earlier.
This is annoying for several reasons, like the fact that the War is still ongoing, that he has zero friends, and that Ozai is not in jail.
It’s time to scheme.Series
