A Lesson of Her Own Making by chasingfigments for MuffinLance

Summary
Katara steals four more lessons that week. Four more boys around her age who know the forms but don’t know the desperation of a true fight. They are bad at anticipating her movements and her decisions because Katara will never have the luxury of learning the way they did. She fights dirty, not fair, and their pride doesn’t let them understand that they’re in over their heads until it’s too late.
They leave her scrapes and bruises and cuts that fuel her healing sessions. When those are done, she goes back to their suite and resumes putting together a combat bending style from stolen pieces and her experience in the wider world.

Summary
“If Arthur, maker of knights, can train a lowborn man to your satisfaction and prove we can strengthen our defenses from among our own, you will release me from this marriage agreement.”
To save Morgana from a loveless political marriage, Arthur has three months to turn a peasant into a knight. The only problem? That peasant is Merlin.
Otherwise known as She's All That but utter medieval nonsense.

Summary
Neville's shoulders hunch further. It's not just his hands that are shaking now; his entire body trembles.
It's not fair. And, when push comes to shove, Harry always has been a Gryffindor through and through.
(AKA sometimes it's easier to be compartmentalize your own abuse than someone else's; life isn't fair to Harry but that doesn't mean he'll allow life to be unfair to his friends)

Bookmarker's Notes
"Neville shrinks under the wrath; Harry expands."
"This is a battle he cannot win; but this is a loss he will not lose."
Good portrayal of Harry being both furious and unflinchingly kind -
such surpassing brightness by bibliocratic

Summary
The revelation that Aziraphale might have been in love with him for thousands of years is surprising. The fact that literal books have been written on the subject comes as even more of a shock.
