Summary
Buffy was hungry, yeah. Slaying always made her hungry, too. Hungry and -
She glanced at Faith again, taking in her smudged eyeliner and the stray curls flying away from her face. Really looked at her dark, dark lipstick, and her biceps underneath her tank top, and the tattoo on her upper arm, for the first time.
Or not for the first time, if Buffy was being honest.

Summary
Hal was slumped over his coffee table when his pager went off. He groped around blindly and peered at the screen, blurry in the dark of his apartment. The caller ID made him want to toss it right back into the ether.
“”Yello.”
“There’s a situation.” Batman’s voice still managed to growl over the tinny connection. “Headquarters, fifteen minutes.”
The line went dead.
Hal sighed.

Summary
Dick catches Jason just as he finishes patrol. One minute he's alone, standing on the rooftop taking inventory of his gear, and the next he's not. A familiar blue silhouette swings up and over the edge of the building and lands neatly beside him.
“I brought you a plant. For your new apartment.”
The lack of preamble in this family, Jesus.
“It isn’t my apartment, just a safehouse.” Jason doesn’t look up from where he’s emptying the cache on his guns.
Dick laughs, low in his throat. “Okay, Jay.”
-
Or: Jason's still alive, and maybe that counts for something.

Summary
“Hello, Uncle Roy.”
Jamie fucking Tartt is sitting next to him, smiling.
“What the fuck is he doing here?” Roy asks, simmering with rage, and a fast-approaching, overwhelming sense of dread.
“I had to invite your boyfriend,” Phoebe says, like it’s the most obvious fucking thing in the world.
Roy hears his sister let out an extremely loud snort. She’s smiling behind a hand covering her mouth, her patented Kent eyebrows raised as she looks at him. She makes no move to correct her daughter. Roy considers fratricide.

Summary
“Brutally honest,” Jamie says, as if he’s still trying to get the point across. “No more secrets.”
Roy stares at him. “Yes. I know what words mean.”
“Okay,” Jamie says, and then he says, “I talked to Keeley about maybe being bisexual because that night we fought over her I wasn’t just jealous about her.”
Or: Roy Kent finds himself in a situation. Fuck everyone, and Jamie Tartt in particular (gently, on soft sheets, all night long – ugh).

Summary
Sokka looked around the throne room with interest. “I always wondered what the world was like from up here - must be nice looking out at your adoring subjects.”
“Being the Fire Lord is pretty dull,” Zuko said glumly, "unless you enjoy hearing people bicker about taxes. After a while, thwarting the occasional assassination is basically a form of stress relief."
In which Fire Lord Zuko and Ambassador Sokka get drunk, go fishing, watch theatre, uncover a conspiracy, visit a teahouse, destroy a historical monument, and reckon with the painful legacy of the past – but not necessarily in that order. [PODFIC AVAILABLE]

Summary
Zuko scoffed. “As always, I am the author of my own unhappiness.”
Sokka hummed. “Years ago, when it was just us travelling together, we came across this fortune teller. I didn’t believe any of that mumbo-jumbo. But then she said that my life would be full of struggle and anguish, most of it self-inflicted.”
It suited Zuko’s life extraordinarily well, he felt. “Sometimes, I feel like I’m the only person in the Fire Nation who has a vision of what it takes for this country to get better.”
Sokka turned to face him, but Zuko looked resolutely forwards. “That can’t be true.”
Zuko turns twenty-five. In spite of his best efforts, the Fire Nation seems to lurch from crisis to crisis. The firebenders have lost their flame, and the situation with the former colonies is only worsening. All the while, he's ill, lonely, and consumed by work.
And on the other side of the country, Sokka has just moved in with one Master Piandao.

Summary
[Time passes oddly. Between one second and the next, Sokka has the Fire Lord pinned to the wall with his hands around the bastard’s throat. Golden eyes (one gold eye, his mind whispers) widen in shock.
“Sokka?” he chokes out. And then he smiles.
What the fuck?
“Sokka, I—”
Sokka slams his head against the wall, once, twice, and the smile wipes off his face. Good.
“What,” Sokka bites out, “have you done to my sister?”]
Or:
An injury leaves Sokka with amnesia. His last memory is of the failed invasion, of leaving his father behind in enemy territory on the Day of Black Sun. Of hopelessness. Rage.
But then he wakes up, and the war is over. Suddenly, he must come to terms with the fact that years have passed, and that he's somehow the Southern Water Tribe Ambassador to the Fire Nation. He is also supposedly friends with banished-Prince-turned-Fire-Lord Zuko, of all people. Close friends.
Yeah, nah.
