    Summary

    “I don’t need to know what you are,” Illuga says. “Just give me something. Something to cling to the next time you run headfirst into danger alone.”

    Flins sees the ghosts behind those pleading eyes, the shadows he tries to bathe in light, to pretend his lantern could drown them out rather than push them further into the corners of his mind. And he knows the stories, knows the haunted past that Illuga doesn’t like to talk about, the reason Flins’ answer matters.

    He settles on a simple, yet vague truth.

    “I am… not so easily killed,” he admits.

    “If you’re lying to me,” Illuga says. “I will summon you from the grave and kill you myself.”

    Summary

    When Azula is nine, she becomes an only child. She hears the Fire Lord call for Zuko's life, and in the morning, her mother and brother are gone. Azula may be young, but she isn't naive. She knows what happened to them.

    Which makes it all the more surprising when Azula tracks the Avatar down and fights his group of peasant friends, only to find herself staring into an eerily familiar face.

    Summary

    “No,” Lu Guang murmurs. He stares at his hands, and all he sees when he closes his eyes is his palms covered in blood. Cheng Xiaoshi’s slick fingers weakly gripping his own. In this timeline, there is no blood. Nothing has happened that should, and everything has happened that shouldn’t. “It isn’t that,” he finishes.

    Silence. An inhale. “Isn’t it?” Cheng Xiaoshi asks. A moment passes. “I told you I loved you, and I’ve never seen you look so sad.”
