    Summary

    “Hey.”

    The girl’s eyes snapped up, panicked. She spared a second to glance down at the man in front of her, her eyes racing up and then looked at Joel with the exact same type of terror, before emerging with something in her hands.

    Joel watched, immediately suspecting a gun. “Whoa, now-”

    The girl lifted her hands up, revealing an old knife. She smeared the tears on her cheeks away, trying to seem bigger than she was, but it didn’t work.

    She was a terrified kid.

    The urgency in Joel’s expression blinked. “Hey,” He repeated, his voice painted soft, though he didn’t let himself hear it. The girl just stared up at him with her knife, not realizing the tremble of her own grip or the violent shakes that tore through her entire, bare body. He just realized that now. Only her knees were covering her, along with the clearly torn pair of underclothes on her lower half. She cringed under his eyes. “It’s okay,” He tried. “I’m not gon’ hurt you.”

    The girl didn’t even blink. She just stared up through her tears, terrified of him.

    Fuck.

    TLDR: Joel finds a traumatized Ellie on the side of the road. He's immediately soft. Meanwhile, she has to learn how to trust him.

    Summary

    “You once asked me if I wanted to hear your story. Is that offer still on the table?”

    “What part of that sentence —said in the circumstance it was— did you not regard as predatory, Daniel?”

    “Oh, no part of it, but you already fucking killed me, so I figured I’d ask again.”

    Summary

    “Look,” Nina says. Inej has startled her badly enough that she’s made a mess of her eyeliner – the wing on her right eye careens wildly to one side.

     

    “I’m all for reclaiming your sexuality. Seriously. Two thumbs up from me. But, honestly, Inej, does it have to be with the most emotionally unavailable man you know?”

     

    “Well, who would you suggest?”

     

    Nina’s eyes bulge. “Oh, I don’t know, literally anyone with a pulse and a conscience?”

     

    “Kaz has –

     

    “We don’t know that,” Nina says sternly.

    Summary

    “I asked around. There’s one Water Tribe prisoner here, and I’m pretty sure it’s your father.” Zuko flips his visor up, looking Sokka in the eyes as he continues. “But look, he’s been here for a while, Sokka. The Warden–”
    “Where is he?” Sokka asks. “Where’s Dad?”

    ---

    This is a canon-divergent AU where Boiling Rock is worse. I took the Warden's "special prisoner" line and ran with it. I also wanted to explore what would have happened if Hakoda had been the one who'd been in Boiling Rock for a while rather than Suki, and what that might have changed.

    Zuko is the type of person to go all-in when he commits to a goal, and that does not always go in his favor! Here we follow him, Sokka, and Hakoda through Boiling Rock and the aftermath.

    Summary

    "Daniel Molloy found his maker on the floor when he came back from the hunt. He knew immediately that there was no one home; Armand’s face was buried in his knees, but Daniel could just barely see his eyes. They were hollow, uncomprehending. There was blood staining his shirt. Daniel took a deep breath."

    aka, Marius showed his face in Armand's life again. Armand crumples in on himself a little bit. Daniel is there in the aftermath.
