Summary
Gellert aimed his wand at the snake and glanced at the boy. He didn't seem concerned by the sudden appearance of a serpent. Head tilted, the boy watched Gellert with unconcealed curiosity.
"Is that your pet?" Gellert guessed.
"No," The boy said. He didn't even blink as the snake moved towards him, slowly wrapping around his shoulders.
Gellert lowered his wand.

Summary
The window is open, the Prince is gone, and there's a scarred stranger in the Prince's rooms. It doesn't take a genius to put the pieces together—the stranger is obviously an assassin.
Sokka presses the tip of his sword further into the stranger's neck. "I'm going to give you one chance to tell me who you are and why I shouldn't kill you right now," he says, his voice deadly calm. "Start talking."
Or: when Sokka gets assigned to guard duty outside the rooms of a Prince that no one's seen in six years, he isn't expecting to make any new friends. But when he ends up meeting Li, the servant with a scar and a mysterious backstory that he refuses to share, Sokka gets more than he bargained for.Ft. secret identities, a smidge of murder, and the inherent romanticism of falling in love with the same person twice.

Summary
Zuko had never excelled at anything. Azula was a prodigy. Uncle always knew what to say. And Father... Father was strong, iron-like. But Zuko had only ever been good at surviving. Putting one foot in front of the other in a grim show of stubborn determination, gritting his teeth and bearing it. Survival was all he had ever been taught. He knew how to do it. So when he was kidnapped by the Southern Water Tribe, he expected to fight as he always had. He didn’t expect to be taught instead how to live.
In a warring land, the Water Tribe forgave the enemy in an act of defiance. For this, he was torn from them, and this time, his wounds won't heal so easily.
Forced back into nothing but survival, the last person Zuko expected to see was Hakoda's son. Hakoda was a promise of safety. The relentless blue of Sokka’s eyes was a promise of happiness. Zuko could have both if he just reached out his hands, but he found them clutching into fists. After all, he’d been burned one too many times.
But hey, at least between Hakoda and Sokka, Zuko could appreciate the family resemblance of pure, asinine stubbornness.

Summary
Bruce opened the door and saw red. Red hair, wet and plastered to a scarred forehead. Red lips, still showing the raw signs of having been burned. Red blood saturating the familiar grey-and-white uniform of Arkham Asylum. "Jerome Valeska," he murmured.
“I didn’t –” His voice was even raspier than usual. “Didn’t know – where else –”

Sokka is a man of science, and science says ghosts aren't real. So, he can't be dead... Right?
