    Summary

    "I hate your dad so much,” Sokka considers for a second. He tries to mix it up as often as he can when they play this game. “That I have considered starting an official petition begging Aang to reconsider his commitment to nonviolence.”

    It’s quiet for a beat. He’s afraid he’s miscalculated, but Zuko laughs, broken and sincere.

    (Or: 5, 8, 15 years after the war, Sokka talks shit about Ozai.)

    Summary

    Honestly, I’m not sure what else to write. I guess I just wanted to talk to you. I think I miss you guys. The only people I talk to here are Uncle and a staff that’s terrified of me. Is it strange to say I miss before? When we were all together? I know that’s terrible to say– we were at the height of the war and fighting for our lives. Sorry, I don’t know what I’m saying anymore. Should probably try to rest some more. This wasn’t much of a letter, but I hope you write back anyway.
    Stay safe,
    Zuko

     

    Or, Sokka and Zuko begin writing letters to each other after the war. Despite being half a world away, they become closer than ever.

    Summary

    Shawn's in a back corner of the police department, he's trying to get this case solved and over with so that he can go home, but he's not getting anywhere. Nobody is getting anywhere and it's terrible. He alternates between curling in a chair and rocking, and pacing back and forth, hands flapping wildly.

    There are too many people, too many footsteps, voices, sounds, faces, movements, eyes, way too fucking many.

    Summary

    It's not Gus taking care of Shawn, it's the two of them helping each other equally.

    Gus just wishes more people saw it that way.

    Summary

    “He imagined Zuko kneeling before his own father, a man who didn't have any reservations about hurting a child, begging in the same way. He imagined his own son being this scared of fathers. He threw up.

    Watery bile from weeks on prison food spilt through his lips and he was hacking, choking on grief and horror. War had filled his lungs with smaug and ash and as he gasped for air through tears he couldn’t care less for his own misery, only that of the boy before him.”

    or

    the 5 times someone realises Ozai isn’t the best parent +1 time they manage to convince Zuko of that fact
