Summary
“I can’t stand it sometimes,” Katara says, shoulders tense, and the words begin flowing out of her like they’d been stuck in her throat this whole time. “How he thinks violence is unreasonable. How he says it makes us no better than them. Violence is the only language they speak. They won’t look at me being good or kind or peaceful and think to themselves, hey, maybe we should be better people. Violence is what got them here and is what keeps them where they are. They don’t understand anything but violence, they won’t respond to anything else. We won’t win this war with a friendly talk or compromise.” She all but spits out the word. “If they wanted a different world, they should’ve created a better one.”
Zuko and Katara search for a murderer. Violence is a starting point and a destination.

Summary
“Yes,” Glinda calls out to the crowd, and her voice feels like it belongs to someone else, her entire body feels like it belongs to someone else. “The Wicked Witch of the West is dead.”
My friend, Elphaba, is dead. I loved her more than — I loved her like my head, like myself. She was killed and I did nothing to stop it. She was killed and I stood offstage, in the dark of the wings, and how much I loved her matters little now. My friend, Elphaba. My Elphaba.
Galinda Upland and the three rules of tragedy.

Summary
Zuko says there are pockets of rebellion in the Fire Nation, that not everyone agrees with what the Fire Lord is doing. Standing there, Sokka doesn’t believe him. Maybe people protest Ozai, but not enough, and maybe they oppose him, but not enough. This is the street of money in the city of money in this great country of money, and the people are going out to grab a bite with their non-dead children in tow.
La. How many times can you lick a wound before the taste of blood loses its novelty.
A haunted house by the shoreline.

Summary
“You’re not your family, Zuko,” Sokka says immediately, like it’s a reflex, like he genuinely believes it.
“Does it matter?” Zuko says. “In the grand scheme of things, does it really fucking matter? Does it matter to the waterbenders who were kidnapped and killed under my grandfather’s command? Does it matter to the war orphans, the war children, who have lost their families and houses and limbs to the fire of my nation’s soldiers? Does it matter to the fifteen-year-olds getting drafted for the war effort, the ones the generals of my father’s council call kindling? Does it matter to the—” Zuko cuts himself off, chest heaving, eyes burning. “Does it matter to the Air Nomads?”
The hottest day of the year comes just before the end of the world.

Summary
Lan Zhan had said, “You are not a monster.” Cold, calloused hand in the soft underbelly of Wei Wuxian’s wrist, pulse jackrabbiting in his own ears and now beneath Lan Zhan’s fingers. “This is what it means to be a person.”
Wei Wuxian’s voice trembled when he could gather enough air to respond. “Would a person do what I have done?”
“Lived and lost and grieved,” Lan Zhan had murmured, to Wei Wuxian’s soft, contrary scoff. “Yes, I would hope so. Any one person is capable of being monstrous. Not all of them would shed your tears. And this is what it means to be a person.”
“To shed a few tears?” Wei Wuxian asked, a trembling, teasing shadow of a smile on his face.
“To regret,” Lan Zhan replied. “Now, let us sleep.”
or, a story told in a dark room.

Summary
When he ends up ditched in Atlanta after a fight with his dad, Tim decides to do the only sensible thing: Tell no one and make the 800 mile journey back to Gotham on his own.
Because the "call Batman when you're in trouble" rule only applies when he's Robin, right?

Summary
“I want to be able to stay with Percy—immortal, just like him.”
His breath audibly hitched. “Annabeth!” he gasped.
Athena’s face hardened. “Absolutely not,” she stated firmly.
As opposed to her, Poseidon suddenly leaned forward in his seat, eyeing Annabeth with renewed interest.
---
In a world where Poseidon met Sally and had Percy while being human, Annabeth and Percy meet a couple of years later than they would have otherwise. It changes a few things.
Or, Annabeth makes a choice and hopes she won't regret it.
Okay, I suck at summaries, all right? Just give it a shot, will ya?

“Percy. This is…”
Percy looked around the room, apparently confused. “What? Does it smell or something? For once I don’t have any dirty laundry sitting around. You came on a good day.”
“...Loney.”

Summary
Everyone knew about the tales the children of Berk were raised on: elves and vaettir, wicked and clever beings slinking in the shadows to steal or kill with a sharp tongue.
Hiccup had never given much thought to these stories, until he meets something while trapped out in a blizzard, and finds a whole new world opened to him.

Summary
Again, in hindsight, he probably shouldn’t have tried to block a gods-damned spear with his bare hands. Because, surprisingly, the spear would, like, 99.9% pierce through his armor and then his very vulnerable skin into his equally vulnerable flesh if he tried to do that. So, yeah. Definitely the stupidest one on the long list of Stupid Things Percy Had Ever Done.
But then again, at least it didn’t run through his girlfriend, which should really be considered a win.Or: Percy lets his fatal flaw get the best of him again. Annabeth is not thrilled.
