Summary
In 1981, the war ended with Voldemort’s death. Thirteen years later, Regulus still lives in the shadow of his parents’ contribution to the cause. No matter how hard he works or how much he accomplishes, he can’t escape the weight of his family name.
With the biggest project of his career now in front of him, Regulus leaves London to pose as a Healer on the Romanian Dragon Sanctuary. The only hiccup is a variable he never could’ve accounted for: James Potter, whose presence disrupts Regulus’ plans and forces him to reconsider everything he thought he knew.

Summary
Regulus has always known he's destined to drown. He feels it deep in his chest, past his rib cage, nestled somewhere behind his organs. He feels it in his arm when his mother squeezes it a little harder than a mother should. He felt it, the water rising in his throat, when his brother slipped out the window and into the night. He often wonders if it'd be easier to just let himself sink.
He often wonders if he has a choice.
Regulus gets sent back to school with a mission from the Dark Lord himself— find the “beast in the chamber” and claim its fangs without killing it. But when a certain curly-haired bespectacled boy asks for a rather large favor, everything suddenly gets a lot more complicated.

Summary
“You can try to help him. Maybe he’ll listen to you in a way he never listened to me.”
James Potter would do anything for Sirius Black, including telling Sirius' brother Regulus to keep away when Sirius needs it. James quickly sees that there might still be hope for Regulus to be convinced to leave Grimmauld Place, and he decides to try to help. Things go a little awry and James ends up getting a little closer to Regulus than anyone expected.
When Regulus gets twisted up in one of the Marauders' pranks and he and James need an alibi, they get even closer.

Summary
At eleven years old, Zuko was exiled from the Fire Nation and declared nameless. All proof of his existence was destroyed. And then, it was as if Zuko never existed at all.
At sixteen, Lee was imprisoned and sent to the Boiling Rock Penitentiary to serve a life sentence. There, he finds a new family and allows himself to hope for a glimpse of happiness. But even that hope runs dry.
At twenty-two, Lee is once again nameless in the Earth Kingdom. If the Fire Nation finds him, he fears execution. He has nowhere to go and nowhere to hide. Nowhere, except the Southern Water Tribe.
Set in a modern world where the Fire Nation has conquered and colonized the Air Nomads, the Water Tribes, and most of the Earth Kingdom. But things are shifting, the world is changing, and rebellion is a fire that won't be snuffed out easily. And when this fire spreads, it may be the Fire Nation that is on the losing side of this hundred-year war.

Summary
“Your dad,” Sokka starts, then swallows hard. “Your dad dueled you, burned half of your face off, and then banished you because you spoke when you shouldn’t have?”
Guilt festers and bubbles like black tar in Zuko’s chest. “I didn’t just speak. I questioned and insulted one of his highest-ranking generals—but the man was planning a massacre! He shouldn’t have—” Zuko clamps his mouth shut, his teeth clicking together, and swallows thickly. “I mean. I found the tactic he proposed very startling, but it wasn’t my place to question such things. I’m sure he had his reasons.”
“Tui and La what the absolute fuck,” Sokka whispers.
[Zuko gets imprisoned with Sokka and Katara during the winter solstice, and some very unfortunate things come to light. Alternatively: the gaang

Summary
[“Well, I already have the plans in place to be back mid-June,” Zuko says, firm. “My classes won’t be started yet, so I can be there to—”
“Don’t worry about it,” Aang repeats, laughing. “There’s plenty of time!”
Which is true in its own way, two and a half whole months until the little sucker arrives, so Sokka isn’t quite sure why hearing Aang say hits him in the gut quite so hard.
Must be that indigestion.]
OR,
Sokka and Zuko have been roommates and best friends through college and graduation, through first jobs and new jobs and promotions, through friends getting married and sisters being pregnant and everything in between.
But that all ends in four days.
Four days to pack up an apartment. Four days before Zuko goes to law school and Sokka stays behind. Four days to untangle two lives that Sokka and Zuko have spent ten years weaving together.
Can you call it a divorce, if you were never actually together in the first place?

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
Zuko had never excelled at anything. Azula was a prodigy. Uncle always knew what to say. And Father... Father was strong, iron-like. But Zuko had only ever been good at surviving. Putting one foot in front of the other in a grim show of stubborn determination, gritting his teeth and bearing it. Survival was all he had ever been taught. He knew how to do it. So when he was kidnapped by the Southern Water Tribe, he expected to fight as he always had. He didn’t expect to be taught instead how to live.
In a warring land, the Water Tribe forgave the enemy in an act of defiance. For this, he was torn from them, and this time, his wounds won't heal so easily.
Forced back into nothing but survival, the last person Zuko expected to see was Hakoda's son. Hakoda was a promise of safety. The relentless blue of Sokka’s eyes was a promise of happiness. Zuko could have both if he just reached out his hands, but he found them clutching into fists. After all, he’d been burned one too many times.
But hey, at least between Hakoda and Sokka, Zuko could appreciate the family resemblance of pure, asinine stubbornness.

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.

Summary
[Zuko blinks. “It doesn’t matter if I’m dead?” That might very well be true, but it still…hurts. A lot.
Sokka waves Zuko’s question away with an annoyed flick. “Of course it matters if you’re dead,” he huffs, exasperated and reluctantly fond in a way that has Zuko’s shoulders dropping. “It just doesn’t matter what you say now.”]
After shared letters and shared wanting and one perfect day—after fire and burning, battles lines drawn and hands extended and rejected in the cold of the North—what can there be left to say?
Or,
When dreams and longing and what-could-be break against the reality of war and what-is, where can Sokka and Zuko go from there?
