Summary
Fourteen years ago, Dutch van der Linde saved your brother’s life and offered you a home amongst outlaws and thieves. Since then, you’ve been robbing and fighting your way across the nation, all while caring for your reckless brother, John Marston, and trying to force down feelings for your partner-in-crime, Arthur Morgan.
But after a failed robbery in Blackwater forces the entire gang to flee, all hopes of freedom on the great frontier are lost. Danger descends from all sides, forcing you to confront the uncertain future and the regrets of your past.
Or, a complete retelling of Red Dead Redemption II from start to finish…

Summary
Sokka is the first to speak, “Zuko, what you said about deserving it, you know that’s not true, right? No one deserves to be hurt by their parents. Especially when you didn’t do anything wrong.”
He shakes his head, “But I did do something wrong. I questioned my father’s judgment and refused to fight him. I was disrespectful.”
“You were a child, Sparky.” Toph mutters.
or, my take on Zuko telling the Gaang about his scar.

THIS FIC CONTAINS SPOILERS, SO IF YOU WISH TO AVOID THAT, PLEASE KEEP SCROLLING. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
Katara knew something was wrong the moment Aang’s supine silhouette came into view.
But then she saw his eyes, open and dull, and the panic set in so fast it felt like when she'd almost been struck by lightning.

Summary
“You are still a kid too, you know.”
Dazai narrows his eyes. “I’m nearly twenty three.”
“Compared to me, twenty three is nothing.” Fukuzawa chuckles at his own joke. “I still feel like a child sometimes, even at my age. We never really grow out of it.”
---
In learning how to feel happiness, Dazai gets the chance to finally live the childhood he never got to have. Maybe there is no greater meaning to life, but that’s something he has to figure out for himself. This is a story of healing, learning to love, and acceptance, in every sense of the words.
Inspired by all the “de-aging” fics out there that use time travel to deal with the trauma these kids went through (which I absolutely adore!) Time moves forward, and they can’t change the past, but it’s never too late to start to heal.
