Summary
Spock is a uniquely frustrating Vulcan.
McCoy has known this since the day they first met, and yet, the hobgoblin still manages to find new, inventive ways of irritating him.
Today, he is lying in a crumpled heap on the ground, insisting that he and Kirk leave him behind. McCoy very well may have done so if not for the fact that they are stranded in the middle of a tundra, dressed in nothing but their thin uniforms while a blizzard whips snow and ice around their ears.
---
A McSpirk "All Our Yesterdays" AU where Kirk ends up going through the same portal as Spock and McCoy. Now with even more homoerotic tension!

A "Mr. Yin Presents" rewrite where Yin finds out the hard way that the two detectives he has tied up in his van are completely insane, and that he would've had an easier time just going after Shawn directly.

There Is No Fire Lord by OccasionalStorytelling for MuffinLance

Summary
This is an AU for MuffinLance's "zuko botches his escape attempt and spends the rest of the war in prison then has to be Fire Lord having never gotten his redemption arc" Towards the Sun. This is more of a "zuko botches his escape attempt and spends the rest of the war in prison, and then when he becomes Fire Lord they leave him in prison" kind of thing.
After committing treason, Zuko spends months in prison, and even after both his father and Azula go missing, the guards can't coax him out of his cell. And then the Avatar shows up. How's the Gaang supposed to talk to a Fire Lord who doesn't even believe he's the Fire Lord?

Summary
After the events of War Crimes, Sokka and Zuko have escaped Zhao’s warship and are fleeing across the Earth Kingdom. As well as unfamiliar terrain, they have to navigate their shared trauma, work out where they fit into the war, and their place in each others lives.
Sokka is aware that being friends with the enemy is going to bring complications, but he probably should have guessed that being friends with Zuko in particular, was going to be a bit like dunking your head repeatedly into a bucket of angry Fire Ferrets.
Katara is also grappling with the confusion of befriending an enemy, something that doesn’t prove as difficult as she had expected with the bond of shared, furious grief bridging old wounds. (Learning a new way to look at her bending doesn't hurt either)
Azula, struggling with the Fire Lord’s mistrust, encounters a few nasty surprises and has to make some difficult decisions. Luckily, she is a great deal better at making sensible choices than her brother.
Her father may have made a slight tactical error.

Summary
Sokka finds out that Zuko’s life-threatening, Sozin-comet-powered, crazy-blue-fire-prodigy-inflicted lightning wound didn’t scar.
And Sokka’s got questions about that.
Because if that didn’t scar, how in Koh’s lair did he get the one on his face?
Or: The one in which there are uncomfortable conversations, dramatic life-threatening events, and undiscovered traumatic depths to be plumbed on a weekend beach vacation. As is the ATLA norm.

Summary
[Time passes oddly. Between one second and the next, Sokka has the Fire Lord pinned to the wall with his hands around the bastard’s throat. Golden eyes (one gold eye, his mind whispers) widen in shock.
“Sokka?” he chokes out. And then he smiles.
What the fuck?
“Sokka, I—”
Sokka slams his head against the wall, once, twice, and the smile wipes off his face. Good.
“What,” Sokka bites out, “have you done to my sister?”]
Or:
An injury leaves Sokka with amnesia. His last memory is of the failed invasion, of leaving his father behind in enemy territory on the Day of Black Sun. Of hopelessness. Rage.
But then he wakes up, and the war is over. Suddenly, he must come to terms with the fact that years have passed, and that he's somehow the Southern Water Tribe Ambassador to the Fire Nation. He is also supposedly friends with banished-Prince-turned-Fire-Lord Zuko, of all people. Close friends.
Yeah, nah.
