Summary
“Blessed Spirit, we thank you for the gift of this child’s life. We are forever in your debt.” The whole village is kneeling now, even the tiniest toddlers flopped down on their stomachs doing their best approximation of a bow. “Please, won’t you give us a name to call you? We would like to properly express our gratitude.”
Oh.
Well shit.
(Where Zuko saves a little Earth Kingdom girl from drowning, the villagers think he's a Spirit, build him a shrine, and long story short, a fake story about the Blue Spirit who dances with dragons suddenly becomes very real.)

Summary
“The Spirits’ attention should be treated with caution.” Iroh informed him firmly. “You should do nothing to invite them, but if they have...noticed you, Nephew, you should do nothing to offend them. Treat them with respect, and treat them with suspicion. Even the kindest of Spirits may have an ulterior motive. To wear the face of a Spirit,” Uncle picked up his cup, again, with a small pause to emphasise his point, “it’s inviting trouble.”
Zuko gulped.
Or: Zuko steps foot in a shrine, a midsummer night before Aang wakes up; the events that follow will change the entire war. (It would take a lot for the Prince of Fire Nation to switch sides, but the Spirits are done waiting. Before Aang AU)

Summary
After the events of Battle City, Ryou Bakura is trying to convince everyone—and himself—that the Millennium Ring is no longer a problem.
No one believes him.
Not his friends, who watch him too closely.
Not the Spirit, whose voice never quite fades.
And not Yugi, who still chooses to see something in him worth saving.When a confrontation pushes Ryou too far, he runs. What follows is quieter. More dangerous. A conversation at the edge of the water, where honesty and comfort begin to blur.
Yugi offers him a choice.
Ryou finds a way around it.
