Summary
The Avatar and his friends offer Zuko freedom. Freedom from General Bujing. From the forced servitude of slavery. From the empty nothingness that had consumed his life.
He takes it even though he knows there has to be a cost (everything, even a life, has a cost).
And while he slowly accepts that the offer was made with no strings attached, his newfound freedom will not allow him to escape the fact that because of him Uncle Iroh is dead. And after months of suppression... so too is his firebending.

Summary
"You think I hate you? You think I'd ever kill you?" Sokka holds Zuko's face in both hands, blood dripping from his lips. "I'd fall on my spear for you. I'd find you anywhere. What do you think that means?"
Rescued, but imprisoned, Zuko finds himself no further from death on a water tribe ship. Sokka, the chief, would see him bleeding out on the boards of the deck as justice. He's a fire bender, the evil of the war that his father rages through their world. Zuko hasn't been a part of that war. Not for years. Now he's thrust back into it against his will, finding himself fighting on a side he never expected to be a part of. Maybe he'll find a cause worth fighting for; someone worth fighting for.

Summary
Before the events of squirming tadpoles connected a group of unlikely strangers into a begrudging partnership to save the world, Astarion roamed the streets of Baldur's Gate as a vampire slave to the Szarr family. His master, Cazador, forced him to seduce and lure thousands of victims to his doorstep, and if that wasn’t slight enough, he saw Astarion as his personal toy of torment and torture.
One hundred and fifty years later, anything that remained of the man before had been snuffed out by the heel of Cazador’s boot. That is until one night, when Astarion, yet again on the hunt for his master, comes across a possible target unlike any he’s met before. A charismatic and handsome drow who is equal parts word-smith, warrior, and wizard. This man’s otherworldly nature seems to see right through Astarion’s elaborately crafted persona, and more than that, he can break the mental hold Cazador has on him and shroud his presence from the vampire lord. The stranger, for whatever reason, is charmed by Astarion and offers him a deal: His protection from Cazador’s control for Astarion’s companionship.
What else can Astarion do but agree?

Summary
Soulflowers are the beauty in pain, the soulmark left from a scar on your soulmate. Its a gift from the spirits and its supposedly meant to pair you with your perfect half. Sokka's calling bullshit though and Zuko would be inclined to agree. Soulmates aren't supposed to be fighting on opposite sides of a war and really shouldn't try to kill each others' friends. Well, Sokka's friends. Zuko is too awkward and honor-driven to actually have any.

Summary
The fire in Astarion’s eyes instantly extinguished itself and he recoiled from Cath.
“Well you try rummaging through Gale’s bag of holding looking for makeshift medical supplies in the dark while your fellow adventurer is bleeding out from tripping over a god forsaken arrow, only to have 60 seconds to get the job done! Impressive, by the way! You have the swiftness of a blind ox and the fortitude of a gnoll!”
Cath didn’t know what to say. He was so taken aback by the tone shift. At least he wasn’t trying to seduce him anymore. There was safety in that. They would not be lovers. Not friends.
Fellow adventurers.
That even felt too close.

Spoilers for The Pale Elf subquest in BG3.
(This is an angsty Sleep Token inspired saga that was supposed to be 12 parts but is still being updated because I am a madman and don't want it to end. The first 12 chapters are directly linked to Take Me Back to Eden, but the album's themes are present throughout the entire story.
Smut starts at chapter 9.

Summary
[“The first thing to know about a Kyoshi Warrior uniform—” Suki straightens and puts on an officious expression, setting a hand on Sokka’s bare shoulder and catching Zuko’s wandering eyes. “—is that Sokka is doing it wrong.”
“Hey,” Sokka protests mildly, rolling his eyes at Zuko as he shakes out a quilted tunic.
“Most people want an underlayer,” Suki explains, tugging at her own in demonstration before giving Sokka—or Sokka’s nipple piercings, rather—a sideways, pointed look, “Or else by the end of the day you’re going to be in friction burn city."
“Your city naming," Sokka sniffs, "Leaves something to be desired."]
OR,
Zuko would really like to kiss—and more—Sokka and Suki, but he knows better than to risk a friendship as amazing as theirs.
Suki and Sokka would really like to kiss Zuko, and maybe getting him into a Kyoshi Warrior for the first time can help them get there. They have to strip down to demonstrate how it's done, after all.

Summary
There was something ugly churning in Geralt's gut watching all those nobles flock around Jaskier. Fawning, complimenting, flirting.
Jaskier should be thriving and preening from all the attention. Instead there was something uncomfortable and pinched in his expression, skillfully masked behind playful smiles and bright laughs.
Geralt didn't want to contemplate why he, and only he, noticed the bard's wish to run.
