    Summary

    “You’re putting too much pressure on it,” MJ tells him, when Ned confides in her how he’s feeling, two months into it. "He’s messed up. Like, super messed up. It’s not gonna just—fix itself, overnight.”

    “And whose fault is that?” Ned asks, reaching up to the ceiling in exasperation from where he’s laying on the carpet, staring upwards. “Whose fault is it that he was playing—the hermit version of masked crusader, on hard mode for half of a decade, without us?”

    "Not yours," MJ says simply.

    --

    OR: Ned remembers. That’s the easy part.

    Summary

    “Oh no,” says Aang, in the same tone he tends to reserve for tiny, squishy big-eyed animals. “He’s a baby.”

    Zuko glowers, deeply, in a way that Sokka suspects he means to be more threatening than it is. “I am not!”

    …Sure, kiddo. Sure.

    or: a decade and a half after the war’s end, Fire Lord Zuko gets turned back into a sixteen-year-old, with no memory of anything that’s happened since he and his Uncle arrived as refugees to Ba Sing Se, and a severe lack of trust in anything that moves. Unfortunately for him, the Gaang are determined to re-bond with their de-aged friend, and they refuse to let a feral teenager go un-parented the second time around — no matter how many times he tries to fight them about it.

    Summary

    His arm twists painfully behind him as he’s dragged along towards the large box, which now sits open before him. He recognizes distantly that it’s made of the soundproofing material Eridians use to make private rooms. An Eridian wouldn’t be able to see the inside.

    He realizes it's just the right size for him.

    ---

    The Eridians have done their best to treat Ryland Grace well since he saved their planet. At least, most of them. A few years after his arrival, he is abducted by a group more interested in his biology than his wellbeing. Rocky and the others scramble to find him, before it's too late.

    Summary

    Three years after the probes carrying Taumoeba and Dr. Ryland Grace's final message arrive on Earth, humanity launches an interstellar spaceship with a brand new mission. Thirty-six crew members (including two graduates of a certain San Franciscan junior high school) travel to the star 40-Eridani to make friendly contact with the Eridians and bring them the alien life form from Tau Ceti-E that can save their star if Dr. Grace's sacrifice failed.

    Grace, now fifty-seven years old, is just trying to balance his life as a teacher while no longer being the only human on the planet anymore. It's a big adjustment, but Rocky and the Terra's Grace crew are going to make sure he's well taken care of.
