Summary
Therapy's a bitch, but PTSD is worse. An in-depth character study of Bucky Barnes as he reconciles his years with Hydra in the wake of Civil War.
------
I don’t really know who I am. I do know that James Buchanan Barnes is dead. He’s a pile of bones at the bottom of a ravine. He’s a side bar in some other guy’s museum exhibit that might not even exist anymore. James Barnes would puke if he could see what he became. His parents and sister and friends would cry.
I don’t know what’s left over now, but I know it’s not good. And I don’t think it can ever be good.

Summary
While she wants to simply enjoy herself, Maryam knows it can’t last. She straightens her back, wincing slightly when it pops. Beside her, Jaal’s eyes widen in horror, his voice carrying the same seriousness as if they were on the field, “Pathfinder, are you alright?” And he comes close enough for her to smell the perfume he’d had to ask for permission to bring on board. He reaches out, hesitant, his hands seeming to not know where to go. “Did you... break something? Are you injured?”
Really, being the Pathfinder didn't seem to come with many breaks, so when Ryder got clearance to collect data for the fauna and flora around Aya, she jumped at the opportunity. Taking the extra time to relax afterwards may have been a mistake, especially with her newfound Angaran popularity.

Summary
“Stop being a fucking weakling, Shimakage. How do you expect people to respect you when you can’t even respect your own damn self?”
It’s strange, she thinks, that she feels so shocked by his words. No one has ever called her out so brutally. No one has ever smacked her in the face with her own truth. Her classmate is brash, loud-mouthed, and rude, but he isn’t an idiot.
She is weak, but not in the way her grandfather always told her she was.
Kemuri Shimakage came to U.A. High to become a hero and to make her grandfather proud. If she can do that, then she can finally earn the respect that he refuses to give her and force him to see her as more than just a mistake.
It took coming to U.A. for her to realize just how broken she had become. This time, she doesn't have to pick up the pieces by herself.

Most people think that this story started in 2009, in April, in the spring. Maybe it did. Perhaps a lot of people saw it that way because that was the moment he had hatched from his cocoon.
To Minato, however, it started in the winter of 1999... Back when he was still a little caterpillar.

Summary
It has been fifty years since Avatar Aang gave his life to save his brothers.
Thirty years since Avatar Tafsut emerged from the Desert to unleash their wrath upon the invaders.
Fifteen years since they dealt the Fire Nation a blow it will never forget, bringing the war to a bitter stalemate— and since Fire Lord Azulon, driven half-mad by failure, began his hunt for the fire-born Avatar, intent on forging them into a weapon of conquest.
Ten years since Hama of the Blackfish Tribe was dragged away in chains.
Less than a month since she escaped, and followed the call of the tides away from vengeance… toward the one island Azulon never thought to search.*
10/26/2023 - discontinued, obviously, in favor of newer projects & potentially a newer version. Leaving up for posterity.

Bookmarker's Notes
THIS is why I so readily and passionately rise to Lan Qiren's defence, despite my lacking the confidence in my native language & customs to translate concepts I grew up with but did not know where CHINESE until I incidentally realised as much in my recreational studies. This story, exploring all that unsaid and left open by MXTX, is a very good portrait of the silence and secrecy between generations, of the traumas carried through generations, unspoken but FELT, especially when the emotions so unaddressed are so very much LOUDER than what is heard in raised voices, behind closed doors.
This story is, while certainly researched and at all turns endeavored to being Informed, still shy of the undercurrents that so reasonate with MXTX's intended audience (diasporic though I may be) but the depth of things Unspoken is well articulated, here (and certainly to better affectation than what my middling grasp on what-is-THIS and what-is-THAT can really articulate, in either language, in my mishmashings of both).
Lan Qiren is a character so very, VERY quintessentially "chinese": Yu-furen, too, is an archetype that rings more powerfully from within the chinese experience. While westerners can - accurately and legitimately - apply western terms and english-language faults & failings to these characters, the western understanding feels... shallow. This story, from Lan Qiren's POV, has done much to alleviate and SOOTHE that pervasive sense of [wrongness] that so irks me when I encounter westerner's opines of and ON Lan Qiren (and Madame Yu and Lan Xichen and Lan Zhan and Jiang Cheng and Wen Qing...) because... this writer? This writer GETS it, in many levels, where too many dismiss depth existing AT ALL (CQL-only fans seem most susceptible to missing nuance but the english translations available of MDZS do oft get lost as being amateur TRANSLATIONS, so painful subs only account for so much, y'know?).
I revisited the Kingdom Hearts fandom, between re-reading this fic series, and undoubtedly carried my grievances re: Lan Qiren as the western fandom perceives him with me: Master Yen Sid is ASTOUNDINGLY lost on KH's western fans, and the BBS characters in general fare similarly poorly (alongside DONALD DUCK, of all characters!). There are obvious differences between the MXTX & KH fandoms - demographic, region of origin, translation availability & quality, fandom age & aging, etc - but, like, going from one to the other was Rather Jarring whilst being UNCOMFORTABLY similar?
Personal meta aside, this is an EXCELLENT interpretation of the Lan Sect's recent history, and Lan Qiren's role within it, and rings very TRULY to those reading between all left (deliberately) unsaid in MXTX's novel.

Summary
“How the fuck do you know my name?” Dean hisses.
The man doesn’t look scared. He is watching Dean like there is nothing else worth watching, lips a little parted, eyes a little soft. And blue. Real blue, like the ocean on a postcard.
The ice spreading down Dean’s spine makes him shiver.
“I suppose you could say I’m your guardian angel,” the man murmurs. His breath fogs pale between them. All of him is unnaturally warm, like Dean’s touching somebody with the sun sewn up beneath their skin. “I have known you, Dean Winchester, for a very long time.”
*
Dean meets an angel who says he's from the future. It all gets a lot more complicated from there.

"Sometimes it’s better to burst into flames, if only to burn away the evidence." - Ch.3
"he’s so selfish, he takes things and he marks them with his hands just so they’ll belong to him" - Ch.3
"And Dean, he fucking—he sits there. He lets Cas do it. He gets this soft patient circle rubbed into a place of him that nobody has bothered to touch before, and Cas’s lips move when he reads, and sometimes it’s like someone took a knife, baby, edgy and dull, The Boss says, crooning over the rain, cut a six inch valley through the middle of my skull." - Ch 4
"Dean was a haunted house, and the wind blew through his eaves." - Ch.4
"What use is he, if not to be strong in the face of someone else’s fear?" - Ch.4
"It’s so—it’s so damn easy for everybody else. Sammy. John. Men who can look in the mirror and see everything they are right there on the surface, good and normal or even angry and broken and obsessed. They are what people expect of them. They have nothing beneath their skin that the whole world frowns at; that the whole world would hate them for." - Ch.6
