Summary
In the scorching expanse of the merciless Si Wong Desert, two enemies find their fates unexpectedly intertwined. Prince Zuko, having finally abandoned his futile hunt for the Avatar and severed ties with his uncle, wanders the wasteland with nothing but regrets and his stolen ostrich horse. When he discovers Katara collapsed and dying in the sand, he makes a choice that defies everything he's been: he saves her.
Now bound by a lie, the exiled prince and the waterbender must travel together to Ba Sing Se, navigating a fragile alliance built on shared loss, desperate necessity, and the slim hope that doing one right thing might matter in a world defined by war.
Updates every Sunday.

Summary
Vought scientists built a kill-switch into Homelander with the most state-of-the-art brainwashing techniques ever seen. And the best part? He doesn't even know it. Unfortunately, the files with the activation code were lost over time, leaving an invincible killing machine unchecked and unleashing him on the world. Not even Stan Edgar has the ability to control him.
When Ashley Barrett stumbles across the folder while digitizing classified documents and certainly not snooping, she figures, 'what possible harm could a beige folder do to a god?' She writes it off as pseudoscience while at the same time memorizing the activation phrase 'just in case'.
She never expected to have to use it. Not until now.

Summary
There’s little bits of gravel in the scrape on Gary’s face. His fingers pick at the viciously stinging flesh under the stripped away layers of skin. If he moves a little to the right he could poke his eye. Get gravel and blood in there too. Or maybe just poke it right out.
———
Parker’s plan works and Gary is alive to see it.

Summary
Zuko goes into exile with a scar, a mission, and a wife.
The girl wears ill fitted ceremonial silks. She is too thin, with jutting bones and hollowed eyes. Dirt smudges her cheek. Her lower lip has a healing split in it. Gaudy as her finery is, she wears it like prisoner’s rags.
All of this Zuko registers in the time it takes him to reach the dais and bow. Every muscle aches with the remembrance of what happened the last time he knelt before Father. This time there is no begging, no roar of the crowd, no burning. Still—Zuko’s grateful to stand once more.
Slipping into soldier’s parade rest, he waits for what will come next, all too aware of the girl’s defiant body next to his.
“I am told that this is Katara of the Southern Water Tribe,” Father says, cruel amusement oiling his words. The phrasing makes the girl sound like a thing. “The last waterbender of their pathetic tribe.” Flames conceal all but his shadow, yet Zuko knows from long experience the exacting blade of his father’s smirk. The smirk he must surely wear now. Because he has built up his insult and now he lets it fall. “Your bride.”
