    Summary

    The second the 2001 Toyota Echo pulls into his garage he knows something interesting is about to happen. If not for the fact that it’s practically falling apart, then for the frankly absurd amount of bumper stickers.

    Summary

    Superboy-Prime decides that, if every super gets to have a bat for a best friend, he's entitled to have Jason as his! Jason is less so convinced. Though, maybe, with time and some near (and not-so-near) death experiences, the World's Foulest might eventually find themselves on the same page, much to the dismay of everyone around them.

    Or: Jason and Prime being catty. World's messiest bitches, actually.

    Summary

    Zuko goes into exile with a scar, a mission, and a wife.

    The girl wears ill fitted ceremonial silks. She is too thin, with jutting bones and hollowed eyes. Dirt smudges her cheek. Her lower lip has a healing split in it. Gaudy as her finery is, she wears it like prisoner’s rags.

    All of this Zuko registers in the time it takes him to reach the dais and bow. Every muscle aches with the remembrance of what happened the last time he knelt before Father. This time there is no begging, no roar of the crowd, no burning. Still—Zuko’s grateful to stand once more.

    Slipping into soldier’s parade rest, he waits for what will come next, all too aware of the girl’s defiant body next to his.

    “I am told that this is Katara of the Southern Water Tribe,” Father says, cruel amusement oiling his words. The phrasing makes the girl sound like a thing. “The last waterbender of their pathetic tribe.” Flames conceal all but his shadow, yet Zuko knows from long experience the exacting blade of his father’s smirk. The smirk he must surely wear now. Because he has built up his insult and now he lets it fall. “Your bride.”

    Summary

    For a second, Katara is helpless. No bending, no running, not when she’s trying to pull air into her lungs, feeling the world spin nauseatingly around her.

    That’s all Zuko needs.

    He pins her with a truly insulting ease, grabbing her wrists to hold both down, and she is well and truly caught. She glares up at him – he is soaked from the water she has been throwing at him, but his golden eyes are glaring right back at her, and there’s that sneering curl to his lip that makes her want to dump half the ocean on his head.

    He leans down and she can feel the heat of his breath in her ear.

    “Leaving so soon?” he hisses.

    ***

    OR: Zuko captures Katara, and imprisons her on his ship to use as bait to try to capture Aang.

    No plan truly survives contact with the enemy. And this plan… goes absolutely sideways.
