    Summary

    When Azula captures Sokka and drags him before Fire Lord Ozai for execution, Zuko makes a split-second decision that changes everything. To save Sokka's life, he claims the Water Tribe warrior as his personal servant—a humiliating role that's the only thing standing between Sokka and the executioner's blade.
    What begins as a desperate ploy to protect a prisoner becomes something far more complicated. By day, Sokka must play the obedient servant, wearing his cuffs and keeping his eyes down while Azula circles like a predator waiting for him to slip. By night, behind closed doors, he and Zuko forge an unlikely alliance built on whispered conversations and fragile trust.
    But in the Fire Nation palace, safety is an illusion, and Azula is always watching. As the charade stretches from weeks into months, Sokka finds himself relying on Zuko's protection more than he ever expected—and Zuko discovers that keeping Sokka safe has become more important than his own precarious standing with his father.

    Summary

    The attack on the Northern Water Tribe goes differently, Aang and the ocean spirit don’t destroy the entire Fire Nation fleet, only most of them.

    Zhao escapes, taking Sokka and a few other Water Tribe men as prisoners. Knowing Sokka is traveling with the Avatar he gets sent to Zhao’s “special prison camp” that is hidden near the Earth Kingdom colonies.

    Sokka gets a taste of the real war, not the war that he thinks he knows from traveling with the Avatar. While Zhao’s prisoner, he struggles to survive the inhuman conditions. Alone and thought to be dead, he feels himself slowly losing hope.

    Seeing a familiar face brings back his hope, even if that face is the scarred Prince of the Fire Nation.

    Sokka and Zuko come together to survive and end up depending on each other for a lot more than they ever thought possible.

    Summary

    Jason Todd was kidnapped at nine-years-old and given two options. Work for his keep, or be forced to to work for his keep.

    His life was not pleasant, but Jason was nothing if not a fighter, and dammit if was he going to let the hell around him kill who he was as a person. Or his dreams of growing up and going to college.

    Those dreams suddenly came a little more into focus, when his idiot of a pimp accidentally tried to rent him to Bruce Wayne. Poor bastard could have never guessed he was the Batman himself. Heck, not even Jason figured that out, at first. And Batman had practically adopted him.
