Summary
Love can take a lifetime. It can be a huge thing and a small thing at the same time.
Barry and Lup said a thousand words with music at the Legato Conservatory, but there were so many other times that music spoke the words they couldn't.This is a series of connected, non-chronological, and slightly experimental Blupjeans ficlets, centred around their love of music (and each other).
All of these fics are inspired by a different verse from Leonard Cohen's 'Dance Me To The End of Love', and all the titles are from songs.

Summary
The man’s voice once again broke him from his thoughts; “In my dreams I see them tortured by Fire Nation soldiers. I see my entire culture wiped from the South, our footprint upon the ice shelves gone as though we never existed, our connection with the spirits and our ancestors forgotten.” He was silent for the briefest of moments, then, “You’re Fire Nation, aren’t you?”
Zuko rolled onto his side, facing the wall, scar pressed into the arm that cushioned his head. “Once, maybe.”
“Answer me this, then; when will this war see it's end?”
Zuko, recalling the fire that had burned in Azula’s sunlit gaze the day she’d caught up to him, chose not to respond.

Summary
The bath takes care of the sweat. Takes care of the burnt bits of skin and fat that still cling to his palm. Zuko scrubs his body until it’s raw, blushing red; he dunks his head under the hot water and stays there, staring up at the dark, vaulted ceiling of the washroom until his lungs run out of breath to use.
The oil of honeysuckle and opium and cinnamon, sweet and sharp and earthy, does not wash the stench of scorched flesh out of his nose.Zuko falls asleep on the evening of his official coronation, when he’s twenty-one-years old and has finally reached his majority. Zuko wakes on the morning of the Agni Kai with his father, eight years earlier.
This is annoying for several reasons, like the fact that the War is still ongoing, that he has zero friends, and that Ozai is not in jail.
It’s time to scheme.Series

Summary
To some, the return of magic is a miracle; to others, a catastrophe. But to physicist Julia Chen, it’s all a colossal headache. Now, she’s setting out across the wintry, post-apocalyptic landscape of Fairy-occupied Canada in search of answers. The subject of her inquiries: an enigmatic Fae known only as Mr. Elsevier, who seems to have power over matter and energy at the most fundamental level and who is willing to share this knowledge—for a price.
But Julia’s quest does not take place in a political vacuum. In Ottawa, the new Fairy Viceroy draws up her plans for the country, even as her puppet Prime Minister, Chuck Oakes, struggles desperately to protect his people. But rebellion is brewing, and Mr. Elsevier may just be the key to human victory.
Now, with the murderous politics of the Fae heating up, Julia will soon learn that, in sorcery as in science, simple questions can sometimes have very dangerous answers. She is on the cusp of ultimate knowledge: a theory of magic that would explain what has become of the world and how it can be reversed—but asking the wrong question may well unravel reality itself.

Summary
The ship lies half-constructed in the bay, recently vacated of construction workers for the evening. Late evening. This project has fostered a bewildering obsession in people. None of them get angry about working overtime. They even volunteer for it, without questioning their superiors about pay. It's unnerving.
(This fic is readable even if you're only familiar with one of the two canons! Or potentially neither, though that's untested territory.)
