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
The idea of Jinu grabbing four random demons and turning them into Kpop idols is fun... but, given what I know of theatre kids and performers in general? I honestly think he was spoiled for choice.
(If you're looking for some ideas or a starting point to flesh out the Saja Boys besides Jinu, that's kinda what this is, in a 'friend kicking their legs as they share headcanons' sort of format.)

Summary
In the mirror, her eyes were still golden. But they didn’t seem as unnatural now. They were warm. Luminous. Like sunrise caught in glass. Like the colour they fought to turn the Honmoon.
“I keep forgetting,” Rumi muttered, “that I don’t have to hide anymore.”
“That’s why we’re here,” Zoey said, nudging her with an elbow. “To remind you.”
Or: A week since everything went down, Rumi finds herself forgetting she doesn't have to keep things a secret anymore. (3 times +1)

Summary
“I can explain,” she rushes out, even though she has actually no idea how to explain.
“Yeah, can you explain why I found this out from a Twitter thread instead of from you?” Bobby says. He grabs his phone and pulls up a web page, then slides the phone over to Rumi.
She freezes.
It’s not some tell-all about her secret demon identity.
She looks down at the photo, taken by some resourceful paparazzo, of Jinu waving goodbye as he slips out the back of her condo building. In the background, blurry but still obviously her, is Rumi.
//
Five times people assumed Rumi and Jinu are together (and one other time entirely)

Summary
With time, it becomes familiar— the shape of a club, the slide of the boomerang, the heft of a spear, the curl of a fist prepared to land a punch— and sometimes, when he looks at his hands, he doesn't recognize them. They had once been unsure and clumsy and soft, but now they are certain and steady and rough.
He begins wrapping them in fabric, the way all the men in the village did, just so that he doesn't have to look at them and wonder if they’re his or not.
(It isn’t just his hands that don’t look like they’re his— he looks in the mirror, and no longer recognizes the person staring back at him.)
or,
sokka and his hands

Summary
The door creaks open. Aang yelps and scrambles to his feet, while Sokka whips his head around to look. The motion makes the wig fly off his head.
Sokka watches as it soars gracefully through the air and hits Zuko square in the face.
Zuko stares at them. Sokka and Aang stare back. The wig flops to the floor.
"Do I even want to know?" Zuko asks.
(Or: Aang practices proposing to Katara. Sokka practices pining after Zuko. Neither of them are doing too well.)

Summary
“Miaomiao.”
She was here for Fu Zhou’s book signing. Who would know her here?
Long hair, a flash of a gold ribbon, the curve of a hesitant smile. A name: Ziqi. This name, on the tip of her tongue when she heard her own being called. This name sounded like a promise, like something to be cherished.
She froze, raising her eyes to make contact with his. This man’s hair was short, wire glasses framed his eyes, and instead of an ancient costume, he wore jeans and a soft-looking, cream jacket.

Enter Merlin and the ragtag group of misfits he and Arthur collect on an adventure that takes them across the entire kingdom. Grappling with who he is now and who he will become, Arthur embarks on a journey of self-discovery, friendship, fate, and what it truly means to be a king of prophecy.

Merlin beams. Arthur’s eye twitches.
“What, exactly, are you doing here?”
Merlin makes a face, “What does it look like? I stole some horses.” His lip quirks up, “And some of cook’s pies. But that was just because she’s been such a harpy all this time and she deserved it.”

Summary
“Merlin,” Arthur says, and his voice has calmed, but there is still steel in the substructure of it. “You asked me to conjure fire; tell me how you've got the burn scar on your chest.”
It is everything Merlin can do not to laugh, hysteria gathering in the hollows of his teeth; of course, this is the scar that Arthur would ask about first. “No. Ask about another one.”
An attack gone wrong leaves Merlin and Arthur stuck in each other's bodies. While Merlin thinks the most complicated part is that Arthur ends up with his magic, it does not take long until he is reminded that it can always, always get worse.
