    Summary

    Zuko wakes up ten years in an alternate future next to the waterbending girl who's name he can't remember and two children she claims is his own. With no clue on how he's landed in the south pole, Zuko concludes that he must gather the pieces in order to return home, back to the past and back to his life in the fire nation.

    But unexpected feelings claim an unexpected piece of his heart.

    “How can you look at me like that?” She asks, pulling him from his stupor.

    Her blue eyes shift over his face, bound by the way he looks at her so intently, so infatuated. This man, who has loved and shared a life with her the past six years. And yet, she feels like she’s sixteen all over again. A sudden bud rose in her chest and blossoms into everlasting longing. Katara remembers this, remembers this exact scenario where Zuko had met her with the same gaze in the Crystal Catacombs so many years ago. Where he had met her with the same gaze in the quiet of his princely chambers and the kiss that silenced her sobs when she did not know if he would make it alive from the injury Azula had given him.

    Zuko swallows. “Like what?”

    “Like you’re seeing me for the very first time.”

    Summary

    You’ve known Rafayel long enough to gather three things.

    The first is that you’ve never seen him paint a portrait. More often than not he submits himself to the abstract, to smears of color that, according to him, never fully capture what he feels but at least get close enough. Sometimes, he allows himself a landscape here and there. But never a portrait. Never a person. No matter how much someone offers to pay him.

    The second is that he refuses to wake up at dawn if he can help it. He’s never told you why. Just that there’s something about the sound of the morning bells that he hates.

    The third is that there is a door in Mo Art Studio—just one—that Rafayel has never opened.

    ———

    Or: The manifestations of love as history, art, civilization, and the sheer horrors of yearning.

    Summary

    Considering his very public, much gossiped over string of hookups and heartbreaks, one would think that Fiyero would be okay about having sex.

    This is, of course, not considering the distaste for it that he keeps secreted away, clenched close to his heart and hidden from prying rumor mills, a feeling so private that no one can ever see it in him.

    (But then there's Elphaba.)

    Summary

    Elphaba does not know if she really believes she has a soul.

    This does not change the reality of the timer's existence on her wrist, which is ever so slowly counting down to the singular most important moment she and her unknown soulmate will experience.

    (A world in which—no matter how terrifying it is—the clock is always ticking, and—no matter how lost you get—someone will always find you.)
