    Summary

    When the Avatar emerges from an iceberg, Sokka is reluctant to join him on a journey around the world. He finds himself wondering about an old childhood friend.

    Zuko, having been banished at the age of thirteen and separated from his uncle at fourteen, decides to do what any logical teenager would do in his situation: don a mask and become a pirate. Under the name of Lee, Zuko finds himself with friends and a life he (surprisingly) enjoys. But how will he react when he hears the Avatar has returned?

    Summary

    “Don’t let go!” Ilya shouted as Alexei struggled to hold onto the end of the bike, his legs moving quickly to keep up with the pace as the road turned downhill. 

    “I’m not going to let go. Calm down!” 

    “You sure?” 

    Alexei was starting to pant heavily but his legs kept moving. “I promise.”

    And Alexei didn’t let go — not until a rock got stuck in the front wheel causing Ilya to crash, taking Alexei down with him.

     

    --
    A recollection of Alexei's life from childhood to adulthood.

    Summary

    Shane gets in the car and slams the door shut.

    “What was that?” his dad asks, voice slightly worried.

    “Nothing,” Shane says unconvincingly, looking down at his hands, tearing at the skin around his fingernails.

    “Didn’t look like nothing, bud. It’s unlike you not to say bye to your friend like that. Or slam the door.”

    “Ilya Rozanov is not my friend, Dad.”

    ***

    Shane Hollander thinks he's ready for 8th grade. For the most part, he is.
    Enter: Ilya Rozanov.
    Shane is not ready for the way his life is about to change.
