    Summary

    Iroh accepts, mournfully, that it's going to be a long, long time before Zuko ever feels safe again.  If Zuko ever feels safe again.  Because of that, because Iroh thinks he already knows the reason for his nephew's silence, he doesn't look closer at just how quiet Zuko has been since waking. 

    Iroh should have noticed.

    He wonders, later, if this, too, is his fault.  If something he said while his nephew was still drifting, barely aware of his surroundings, had struck deeper than he meant it to.  If even something as simple as a well-meant shh, Zuko, shh had a hand in this. 

    If Iroh had somehow taken his original mistake and deepened it, rather than trying to make up for it.

    (If this is the shape of the scar that Iroh left on his nephew).

    Summary

    "As for Susie Glitter- well, life had been busy! She loved the work, of course, but there really was a lot more of it during this season than any other time. And, oh, this year's celebration certainly added on to the hustle- it was a ball! A Victorian-styled ball to celebrate the end of the war and the beginning of a new age for Victoria. She hadn't kept fully abreast of it all, seeing as she technically didn't live in Victoria anymore, but Susie's just oh-so-glad the terror of the war was finally over. And the ball, oh..."

    (Ever since she was a child listening to fairy tales, Goldenglow's always dreamed of Ballroom dances. And now, with the war at an end and a Ball to celebrate, her thoughts turn to the one friend who wasn't at Rhodes Island to celebrate with her...)

    Modern adoption fic. A favor Hakoda does for a friend turns into something a little more permanent. Not that he minds, he'd love another kid.

    Summary

    With this new sensation, this beautiful sight, he has been distracted from noticing something was missing.

    Something has been absent since the worm entered his eye.

    The voice, Cazador’s voice. It’s gone.

    It’s gone.

    It’s gone.

    Astarion reels up to his feet, stumbling on the uneven ground in his fine shoes.

    Even in his dreams, even in the deepest of trances, Astarion can feel Cazador. The orders, the rules, that tug in his gut that pulls him, like a fish on a hook, back to the palace when he wanders too far. But it’s quiet.

    Astarion’s head has never had more physical occupants but has never been so quiet.

    His world hasn’t been this foreign in nearly 200 years, but that's what makes him realize with extreme clarity.

    Astarion is wide awake.

    AKA: Astarion finds himself far from home, safer than he's been in centuries, yet in more danger than ever. If he's going to keep this scrap of freedom he's going to need to fight for it, and he's going to need protection. Thankfully, a war criminal from the hells seems to fancy him. Best of all? She can’t be touched.
