    Summary

    This was just Hakoda’s luck, on the run with three children he’d vowed to himself to take to safety—wherever that may be—and they just happened to run into the Dragon of the West.

    Unsheathing the knife—his only weapon, of course he had nothing but a measly knife while facing the Dragon of the West—Hakoda stepped forward to stand between the children and the enemy. Like he should have when they’d come to the South Pole and threatened his family.

    Never give up without a fight. Not that he needed the blade’s inscription to tell him that.

    After escaping from the Western Air Temple, Hakoda is lost in a forest with three Earth Kingdom kids. Thirsty, tired, and struggling to cope with the effects of his prison stay, the last thing he needs is getting kidnapped by an ancient secret society.

    But Iroh’s plans to have the Avatar kill the Fire Lord are outrageous, and Hakoda takes issue. Now he has to put up with his mother’s ex and a gloomy firebender while parenting three wayward children, rescuing his crew from prison, and defeating Ozai. Which would be enough to deal with even if the wounds of the past didn’t have a habit of bleeding into the present.

    Hakoda-centric, really well written. All the kids are written really on-spot. Some Hakoda-whump and lots of misunderstandings in the beginning. Love the Hakoda-Piandao-interactions.

    Summary

    Stories and legends, of missing boats and strange sea-creatures from the spirit world, drowning unsuspecting sailors when they paddle too far out to sea.
    Sokka is beginning to think that he maybe shouldn't have been so quick to ignore Gran-Gran.

    Sokka’s solo fishing trip does not go as planned.
    Neither does Zuko’s hunting trip.

    Really cool idea, and very well written. With Zuko as a merman :-)

    Summary

    Combustion Man never finds the Western Air Temple, and the Gaang goes ahead with the plan to capture Zuko and hold him prisoner so he can’t hurt anyone. Now Zuko has to convince them he’s on their side without having any proof he doesn’t want the Avatar dead anymore, and preferably before Katara decides to kill him.

    … If only he weren’t so bad at being good.

    Very interesting take on the Western Air Temple storyline. With some Boiling Rock thrown in, and more on-screen time for Haru, Teo and The Duke than in most other stories.

    Zuko does not survive that first fateful Agni Kai.

    But no matter how much Ozai strives to pretend otherwise, the Old Gods are not dead.

    And the Old Gods are angry.

    A tale of siblings, no major romance. Lots of Water Tribe and Dad-Hakoda.

    Summary

    Sokka takes a strategic step back, but he also smiles: triumphant, like he baited Zuko into exactly what he wanted. Like it’s a challenge. It’s the same way he looked when they sized each other up at the prison, with Sokka in chains that left red marks around his wrist, in tattered prison garb, malnourished and angry. Back then, that was Sokka saying: I see your power. I see you. Now, see me.

    Zuko saw him then. And he sees him now; different, but the same. I see you.

    Zuko lights his daos in flame. Sokka grins, back to gravel and heat. “Come on, Fire Lord. Impress me.”

    Zuko burns. His vision flickers with fire. His heart races. His blood sings. His body is like a magnet, pulling ever onward to meet Sokka’s. He advances.

    He pins Sokka to the wall, blades against his throat.

    Or, Zuko found Aang first, Sokka and Katara were imprisoned in Boiling Rock for trying to rescue their dad, and all Sokka knows is he's pretty sure he's not supposed to think the Fire Lord is attractive but he's never let things like rules stop him before.

    Intriguing setting, very in-character for everyone. Not too dark, good ending.
