Summary
A catalogue of drabbles and missing scenes of variable canonicity to the 'You Can't Catch Me'-verse. Some of these were written with the intent to be canon to that larger story, while others weren't, and some were simply an earlier iteration of story beats. Each chapter will be tagged accordingly.
Includes: poly pack, Michael being pure of heart and dumb of ass, vampire worldbuilding, and more!

Summary
It's 2024, and Michael Emerson is at a loss for what to do with his life. Working part time here and there, attempting college and dropping out, picking up skills but forever being a master of none, Michael decides to try ditching the stress one evening at the recommendation of his brother, and go see a live show at a local bar.
The band 'The Lost Boys' seems a little outside of his usual style, but who knows - it could be interesting.

Summary
“Look at me, Michael.”
He didn’t. Every time he looked at David, his mind went all wrong. He figured if he met his eyes he would leap right off the goddamn bridge.

Summary
The attack on the Northern Water Tribe goes differently, Aang and the ocean spirit don’t destroy the entire Fire Nation fleet, only most of them.
Zhao escapes, taking Sokka and a few other Water Tribe men as prisoners. Knowing Sokka is traveling with the Avatar he gets sent to Zhao’s “special prison camp” that is hidden near the Earth Kingdom colonies.
Sokka gets a taste of the real war, not the war that he thinks he knows from traveling with the Avatar. While Zhao’s prisoner, he struggles to survive the inhuman conditions. Alone and thought to be dead, he feels himself slowly losing hope.
Seeing a familiar face brings back his hope, even if that face is the scarred Prince of the Fire Nation.
Sokka and Zuko come together to survive and end up depending on each other for a lot more than they ever thought possible.

Summary
When Shen Qingqiu drew Shen Yuan’s soul sword, it felt like being burned from the inside out. The fire wasn’t cruel, but it was still fire—hot and destructive, searing the softest pieces of him.When Binghe’s fingers touch the hilt, he is ready for pain.
Transmigrated into a version of Proud Immortal Demon Way where cultivators manifest their own souls into spiritual weapons, Shen Yuan finds himself sort of kind of…accidentally blackmailing Shen Qingqiu into taking him on as a disciple before Luo Binghe joins the sect.
That should give Shen Yuan plenty of opportunities to make sure nothing goes wrong for his favorite protagonist, right? RIGHT!?
A story of twists, turns, hope, despair, and soul swords. Written for the Bingqiu Reverse Minibang 2023, illustrated and conceptualized by the incredible Suzu!
