Summary
Honestly, if he could fuck it up this bad by accident, imagine the power he could have on purpose. That was his whole thing with Coran a while back. He had the anger, he had the information, so he destroyed him. He told Coran that he should just eject himself into space because he was about as useful as a grain of rice in a gallon of soup. He almost got Coran to kill himself all because he was angry that his husband was gone and he had no leads to get him back. He seriously could be the best villain…. But at what cost?

Summary
Johnny has always had a hot temper, Kreese just taught him how to use it. How to focus that anger into his fists, into his kicks, rather than keep it at the forefront of his mind so it clouded his vision and he couldn't think straight. It was a fine line that Kreese was only too happy to teach Johnny how to walk.
Without Kreese at his back to fan the flames, Johnny had thought some of that anger would fade. But the truth was, Johnny is more angry now that he ever remembers being in his life. And without Cobra Kai, he’s got no outlet for it anymore. And that terrifies him more than he wants to admit.
~
Or-- Johnny's figuring out how to find his balance--without Cobra Kai, without karate and without Kreese--with a few stumbles and missteps along the way.

Summary
“This is a lot harder than I thought it was gonna be.” Daniel whispers, swallowing heavily. “Not bein’ able to touch you or kiss you, it’s—“
“I know,” Johnny says, cupping Daniel’s jaw, thumb brushing over the curve of Daniel’s cheek.
Daniel leans into the touch, giving Johnny a brave smile. “We’ll be okay, though, right?”
“Yeah,” Johnny answers, giving him what he hopes is a reassuring smile. “Yeah, LaRusso, I think we’ll be okay.”
Johnny would be lying if he said he wasn’t sure how being with Daniel was going to work when they couldn’t be this, in public, in school, around their peers. If he’s also being honest, he didn’t really think this far a head when they decided to be, well, together.
--
Or: Johnny and Daniel try navigating the growing pains of a new relationship during the last few months of high school, all the while Johnny's still battling some demons that Kreese left behind and trying to keep Daniel as far away from it as possible. What can he say? He learns the hard way.

Summary
Sometimes, Mare wished she couldn’t dream. Wished the nightmares would find another place to roost, the bodies of Scarlet Guard officers still crisp in her memory. She was never stupid enough to join them, but their defeat had shaken something deep inside of her. Her last hope, crushed to dust.
At least Maven didn't die with it.
She shivered, sheets sticky with sweat as she peeled them away. Her makeup had been reduced to a thin sheen, the darkness the only barrier between the world and her Red blood. A tragedy, Elara had said. That we couldn't erase it entirely.

Xie Lian drags Mu Qing in for another kiss. Mu Qing’s eyes are open, grossly aware of their audience, but Xie Lian’s mouth is thorough and precise, and Mu Qing nearly reaches for him when he pulls back.
“Great, so,” Xie Lian says, breathless, “now you do the same to him.”
“To Feng Xin,” Mu Qing clarifies. Feng Xin is staring at him in shock.
Xie Lian beams at them. "Yes, just like how I did it!”
