    Summary

    Leaving another gunfight and Dead or Alive posters behind in Norleans, Damen is on the run with some of his family’s wealth riding into the sparsely populated Great Plains toward the Rocky Mountains, pistols at his hips. With his family betrayed behind him, he expects never to return to The Ohios or the Texas Territories or Vèrginia, but with no specific goal in mind. Seeing a rough hand-carved sign with an arrow and the word “GOLDCUF” nailed to a log, he turns his horse and heads up into the mountains.

    In a saloon, the painting behind the bar catches his eye. In the painting: a perfectly shaped lounging body, strong yet slender and lithe, in a deep blue corset, laced tightly through dozens of holes, top to bottom down the front, not quite exposing anything, yet giving the impression that any slight movement would reveal delights beyond belief. The top strings hung untied, begging to be slowly unstrung. Staring directly into the viewers’ eyes. Taking you straight on in challenge. Daring you to come closer and warning you to stay away. Bold and waiting to own you, not soft and yielding waiting to be possessed. No come-hither smile. Instead, the confident, chilly, in-control sapphire gaze of the town’s ice-cold bitch.

    Summary

    One rising and one falling star crash head-on in the rain. The deal is simple: for his silence, the unluckiest boy in the world moves in with the mysteriously wealthy stranger who nearly killed him, all expenses paid.

    A six-to-eight week recovery period isn't long enough to change anyone's life. Not for Bennett who, having lost everything, has nowhere to go but up. Not for Ajax—gamer tag Childe—who is secretly one of the most (in)famous streamers in the world.

    Hands at ten and two.

    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.
