    Summary

    Father and son held each other’s gaze. Zuko looked into Ozai’s golden eyes, the exact same shade of his own, and let his palms flare. He saw the exact moment terror lit, when he knew Ozai would feel the heat melting into his eye socket, melting the skin…

    But...
    "I’m not you, and I never want to be.” Zuko finished, dropping his hand away. 

    -or,
    The final battle goes differently. Zuko faces Phoenix King Ozai and his sister alone instead of Aang on the day of Sozin’s Comet in a final attempt to overturn the tides of war without sacrificing too many lives. Canon-divergent.

    Summary

    The North Blue could be a terrible place. Law had known that since he was small, since he'd found the bodies of his parents and watched a hospital burn with his sister inside. The Heart Pirates were a crew of orphans and misfits. Not a soul among them had ever known a kind world.

    Yet somehow, Law was still surprised to find a child crying on the beach.

     

    Another world, where Law is the one to save Rocinante instead.

    Summary

    “I used to ask Judge every day what I did to deserve this,” King thunders. “Do you know what he finally told me?!”

    Sanji’s chest wracks with something dangerously close to a sob. “He said it’s because you were born!”

    And despite all his grace, King stumbles –– like an angel cast out of heaven, taking his first wobbly steps on mortal ground. It’s clear he thought the question was rhetorical from the way he wavers, “How did you know that?” like he hadn’t even expected an answer, let alone the right one.

    Sanji tries to respond, but he looks at King and sees a twisted science experiment, and sees––god, fuck, himself. Sees a man who spent his childhood strapped to a surgical table, and it was the closest thing he had to being held.

    This is it. He has nothing left to hide. Sanji reaches a precious hand into the Pandora’s box inside his soul and rips it open, lets the ruins fly.

    “Because he said the same thing to me!”

    ---------

    In an alternate universe, King fights Sanji instead of Zoro during the Raid on Onigashima. There, they discover how true the phrase 'I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy' can really be.

    "Shut the fuck up!" Sanji shouts, putting his foot down both figuratively and literally. Unstoppable force, immovable object, and all that. "I know what it’s like––to feel like you’re not strong enough to take away your captain’s pain!" There isn't a day he doesn't curse himself for his weakness in Sabaody –– where he doesn't wonder how different Impel Down and Marineford would've gone if he'd just been there. But even if he could go back, nothing would be different. There's nothing he could've done. "But you’ll drive yourself mad if you think like that! You did everything you could!"

    Summary

    There are endless possibilities out there and in turn endless universes. Any change big or small can lead to new outcomes for better or worse.

    In some of these universes Viktor is meant to die during Jinx attack, like clockwork it happens over and over again.

    But in one of these endless possibilities it is Jayce who falls under the rubble. It is Jayce whose life is nearly cut short. Fueled by love and desperation Viktor will do anything to keep his Partner alive, while also trying to save himself from his own illness. No matter the cost he will not fail.

    Everything had been going according to plan, until a familiar visitor from another world throws everything Viktor, now known as the Machine Herald, had been working for in the past few years into disarray.
