    Summary

    "You know," Iroh had said, tea cup steaming in front of him. "Some say that everyone has a matching heart, beating perfectly in time with their own. Decided by the Spirits—soulmates, of a kind."

    Toph's head whipped around to stare in shock at this strange, wise old man.

    "How did you know that?"

    Iroh shrugged, a careful nonchalance about him. "Old stories can be found in all sorts of places. Have you found your matching heart, stranger?"

    "No." She looked away. "But… I can hear them."

    Summary

    “You’re not your family, Zuko,” Sokka says immediately, like it’s a reflex, like he genuinely believes it.

    “Does it matter?” Zuko says. “In the grand scheme of things, does it really fucking matter? Does it matter to the waterbenders who were kidnapped and killed under my grandfather’s command? Does it matter to the war orphans, the war children, who have lost their families and houses and limbs to the fire of my nation’s soldiers? Does it matter to the fifteen-year-olds getting drafted for the war effort, the ones the generals of my father’s council call kindling? Does it matter to the—” Zuko cuts himself off, chest heaving, eyes burning. “Does it matter to the Air Nomads?”

    The hottest day of the year comes just before the end of the world.

    Summary

    In a city like Gotham, information is currency. And you've made a career out of getting people to talk.

    Not by force. Not with threats. Just a salon chair, a mirror, and the kind of silence that makes people fill it with secrets. Affairs. Deals. Who’s moving into which block. Who’s gone missing. Who’s about to.

    You’re not a vigilante. You don’t wear a mask. You just know when something’s about to crack - and lately, Gotham’s been humming like a live wire.

    And you weren’t supposed to matter. Not to anyone.

    And especially not to the man who just blew up a bar because you said it gave you a bad feeling.

    Summary

    Phil stepped inside and closed the door behind him, inhaled, and stiffened. There was movement a rooms-length away, small sounds bouncing off a tile floor. The clink of a spoon against ceramic, the rustle of fabric as a body shifted. He wasn’t alone in this so-called safe-house he was supposed to be hiding from his enemies in, and over his own blood and sweat, he could smell magic. The iron and dust of vampire powers, split wood and wet stone of fae magic, sunlight mingled with crushed grass that wasn’t coming from him—the telltale traces of a dozen different uses were present, but he could only hear one person breathing. At the other end of the hallway, bare feet brushed the floor and a deep voice spoke.

    “Bruh, you look terrible.”

    There was a wizard in the safe house. Phil bared his teeth. The fact that he couldn’t fucking see was making the hair on the back of his neck rise. “Didn’t ask for your fuckin’ opinion, caster.”

    OR: Werewolf Phil takes refuge in a safe house. He is not pleased that there's someone already there.

    Summary

    “That’s the Witch’s cat,” Tim says, and grins at Martin. “Jonathan Sims, the town’s Witch, said that he’ll marry anyone that manages to get the key from the cat’s collar.”
