Summary
Zuko tries.
Agni, he tries. Uncle wants so desperately for him to do the right thing, and he wants to, he does, he does, he does-
So when the Water Tribe girl looks at him with wild eyes, begging for help, and Azula raises one eyebrow with a sneer, Zuko chooses.
Azula’s scream of anger when he blasts a fireball in her direction is almost worth the twenty Dai Li agents that immediately surround him.
(or: Zuko is taken prisoner by Azula in the catacombs. Turns out, being kept miles away from the sun isn't so great for your bending.)

Summary
Zuko's soul marks have been regularly burned away since before he knew what they meant. He knows that he cannot be loyal to his father and his nation while also being loyal to a soul family, so he doesn't look for them. Unfortunately, that means that he doesn't know when he's found them.

Summary
Iroh often wonders how a child raised as Zuko was- in pain and rage and cold indifference- could turn out the way he did- kind and gentle and just.
Iroh often discounts himself.
Or: how Zuko came to realize that a father’s love shouldn’t need to be earned.

Summary
“I just wanted to introduce myself. Your uncle had told me his niece had been thinking of applying to work in the gardens, so I thought I would introduce myself.” Fire Lord Zuko was awkwardly rubbing the back of his neck and a slight blush crawled up his cheeks.
Oh my Spirits, Hana thought. Our Fire Lord is adorable.
Or,
5 times the palace staff were protective over their Fire Lord because they all love him to death, and 1 time they had someone else do it.Series

Summary
“H-hey-!”
The person squeaked as they fumbled with their phone.
“Sorry, I’m really sorry! But I need you to pretend to be my girlfriend. My sister is bringing my ex with her in a surprise ambush and I really don’t have another choice,” Zuko explained quickly, eyes on his coffee. “I will pay you. Just, please go along with this?”
“… I can’t,” the person said.
“What?” The answer brought Zuko up short. In the face of money, most people never said no. Keyword being ‘most’. “Why not?”
“Um…” the person wavered. “I’m a guy?”

January is killing him, he thinks.
“Hey, I was just calling to check in. Babs said you didn’t show on patrol. Don’t worry about it, it was pretty dead last night. It’s probably this weather. Anyway, I’m just calling to make sure you’re all good. Text me when you get this.”

Summary
They ask him to rate his pain on a scale of one to ten. They ask him to squeeze his left hand as hard as he can. They ask him to breathe into a plastic tube.
When they ask him to move, he wants to ask them how. They’ve chained him to the bed. Wrists, ankles. He wants to know what they’ll do once they realize that they’ve immobilized a corpse that won’t ever move again. But he wants to speak even less than he wants to know, so he keeps his mouth shut and his eyes on the ceiling.

Summary
Apoptosis- Form of cell death, also known as programmed cell death, in which a ‘suicide’ program is activated within the cell. It is a normal phenomenon, occurring frequently in a multicellular organism.
For all intents and purposes, the Lazarus Pit works. It brings Jason Todd back to life, back to sanity. It stitches together old wounds and grants a second chance to Gotham's Red Hood. The only side effects are temporary catatonia, then equally temporary insanity. The Lazarus Pit works perfectly.
Then, it doesn't.

Summary
Jason could believe in ghosts. There were weirder things. Like waking up in your own grave. Or being healed by Ra’s’ Nickelodeon slime pit. Or trying to steal the tires off the Batmobile only to get adopted by Batman instead.
Jason could believe in ghosts. It’s just the fact that it’s his own ghost that’s confusing him.
“Ow,” Jason says dryly, staring directly at the wide-eyed him.
The kid’s hand is poised to throw another object at him from where he floats a few inches off the ground, yellow cape fluttering in a nonexistent breeze. He sniffles. “I didn’t think you could see me.”
Jason feels uncomfortable suddenly. “I didn’t think you were real.”or;
In which Jason is haunted by his own ghost and his return to Gotham doesn’t go quite as planned.

Summary
He opens his door to find Damian Wayne standing there with two swords in both his hands, visibly fuming. This would probably be more intimidating if the squirt weren’t at eye level with the middle of his autopsy scar and dressed like a walking traffic light.
“Hello, Red Hood,” Damian grits out between his teeth.
“Sup, Robin,” Jason says. “I just got done making mujaddara. You want some?”
Damian stands still as a statue for exactly ten seconds, his grip on his swords knuckle-white. Then he very firmly nods.
—
Or: Jason really wants to get revenge, on like, everyone, but he keeps postponing his plans because Damian Wayne insists on stalking him. Somehow, the angry chihuahua child worms his way into Jason’s undead heart. This is not a drill.

Summary
The Alberichs' life motto was ; "For duty".
The Ragnvindr's family motto was : "Shine true".
When Kaeya Alberich gets adopted by Crepus Ragnvindr, this leaves his cousin, Dainsleif Alberich, bereft of a purpose.
He does not accept it. Is that Ragnvindr family even good enough to raise Kaeya ? He shall verify it with his own eyes. And if they aren't… Maybe he will take his cousin back to Khaenri'ah.
Crepus Ragnvindr, for his part, isn't letting some little blonde bitch breaks his family apart.
(Or : Dadsleif - except Crepus doesn't approve… at first.)

A retired maritime pilot of the Royal Navy, Childe, never parts with the ocean—for nothing and no one. A cunning heir draws him ashore not through charm, but by the unfortunate circumstances that lead to a murder, a robbery, and a lifetime of unfettered crime.
Kaeya Alberich, the scrutinized heir of his father’s fortune, takes the final ship departing from the Western harbor. His father’s money trail converges with a police chief’s son in a cold, foreign city—and where every conspirator finally reveals their hand.

“Hey,” says the kid. He’s painted in green, yellow, red, and he’s wiggling back and forth in his seat.
“Hey,” Jason says without turning around. “I made french toast. You like french toast?”
The half-smile turns into a wide grin. “Fuckin’ duh.”
Because of course he does. Because Jason has always liked french toast.

Summary
Jason gets hit with fear toxin. He doesn't notice.
It's not really a great sign that he doesn't notice.
Especially considering it makes him stumble into the manor's dining room and interrupt their family dinner in full Red Hood gear, at which point everyone else definitely does.
