    Summary

    The thing grins slowly, its smile growing wider than Zoro’s usual small curve of mouth, revealing both lines of teeth in too much private delight.

    “You noticed much faster than the others,” it says with delight, “I wonder why that is?”

    Sanji’s face changes slightly, tightening. He speaks, very softly, “Where is Zoro?”

    If the intruder has any sense, it would lie, but it had grown arrogant from the past few days, and now that Sanji has cornered it, Zoro feels the intruder’s hunger turn feral.

    “Here,” it taps two fingers against its forehead. “Watching.”

    Something takes over Zoro's body, and fully intends to keep it. Sanji is the one who notices the ruse first.

    Summary

    The water tribe siblings stand tall besides him, a stern look on their faces. They're dressed in black, no indication of their roots other than the small beads adorning their hair and the tan color of their skin.

    “You're the Fire Prince, right?”.

    His body clenches at the title. “Zuko”, he offers. “There's no fire prince”.

    The girl’s face stiffens, but when the boy -Sokka, a memory from years ago resurfaces- speaks, his voice is softer. “Zuko”, he repeats the name, and it makes Zuko's fingers numbly tingle. He tells himself it's from the cold.

    -Or, The Fire Nation loses the war before the Avatar’s return. Aang cannot restore balance without starting another one. Ergo, a blazing revolution.

    Summary

    They spark when they’re overwhelmed, said a woman with fewer teeth than fingers. I’ve seen it. Firebenders are always about a second from losing control. It just bursts out of them.

    (Jet admittedly should probably have asked her to elaborate on what she meant by overwhelmed, but he was really excited to get to scheming and forgot. Oh, well. He can improvise.)

    Summary

    "I feel bad, Cas. He keeps telling me it's fine and we should keep going all night, but he's clearly tired from all the activity before I am! It's been two weeks of this, should I tell him that we should stop?"

    Castorice opens her mouth, then closes it. She takes out a notebook and a pen to scribble something down, before turning back to him.

    "…What exactly are we talking about here?"

    "Mydei's stamina! Apparently, it's been harder for him to keep up with me without his immortality! Do you think I've been too rough with him?!"

    Phainon is met with reminders that Mydei no longer has his flaw of immortality. The realisation is more significant than he had expected.
