Summary
"Why haven't you killed me yet?" His voice was raspy with disuse, but at least he had command of his tongue again.
"I'm not going to kill you," said the woman. She spoke in a very soft voice, making the usually harsh Eastern dialect sound gentle. "I've been trying to help you, but you do need to stop freaking out every time I do something."
"You have a knife to my neck," he pointed out. "And you took my gun."
"Yeah, well…" She paused, yielding slightly to his line of reasoning. "I couldn't let you keep them. Can't be too safe."

Summary
“Right. Let’s hope there are no sexy assassins to derail you this time.”
He gawked at her, unsure he’d heard her wording correctly. “I… I made no such qualitative assessment of her appearance,” he answered but he sounded defensive. “I didn’t even get a real look at her. It was too dark.”
“No need to explain.” The amused grin remained but she rolled her eyes. “Mercenary agencies work a lot like we do. They go for the good-looking ones.”

Summary
"Is it that fun?" Teruhashi wants to project into his mind. "Not being the center of attention?"
It’s only then that she realizes while watching Saiki smile into his cup – the words “WINNER! You win one free coffee jelly!” printed across the bottom – there’s something to be found in the silence.
OR: Across every iteration of their universe, Teruhashi Kokomi and Saiki Kusuo have a lot to learn from each other. Especially when she's a psychic fixated on attention and he's a perfect, pretty boy fixated on normalcy.

Summary
Just as she pries her head off the bar, the band playing at the far end of the room stops their song and a new voice booms from the microphone.
“I’m terribly sorry to interrupt but…”
Yor whips around to see a man standing on the small stage in front of the band, squinting into the bright spotlights as he leans into the microphone. He looks exactly like Loid, except slightly more disheveled and unlike his usual polished self. Her heart sinks.
Please don’t let that be Loid, she silently pleads.
“I seem to have lost my wife.”
She buries her head in her hands while mumbling curses.
Yor and Twilight learn the truth about each other. Neither of them expected what unraveled afterwards.

Summary
“So,” Sokka had said, “Zuko needs to be doing some kind of vigorous physical activity while…standing still?”
“In order to get his heart rate to the level it needs to be while I examine him, yes.”
“Aw, that shouldn't be too hard.” Toph wasn't looking at her, but the grin on her face said Katara wouldn't like what she had to say. “Not while you're examining him, sweetness.”
“What's that supposed to - “ Katara was cut off by Zuko's angry protest at the same time, and both of them were silenced by the gesture Toph was making with her closed fist, jerking it back and forth in front of her like -
“Toph, this is serious,” Aang said, silencing them all. “Zuko needs our help.” But Katara could see that there was more he wanted to say, his eyes studiously avoiding her gaze as he addressed the room. Zuko was performing a similar trick, his gold eyes lighting anywhere but at her.
“What,” Toph shrugged. “I was being serious.”
