Summary
The Fire Nation is on the verge of collapse. It has been two years since the young Prince died from complications after losing the Agni Kai with his father, and his father in turn killed by his daughter less than six months later. Fire Lord Azula now sits on the throne, pushing the nation to the brink in service of the war. The Earth Kingdom and Water Tribes have begun to gain ground by exploiting the vulnerabilities left by increasingly disillusioned soldiers. It is only a matter of time before the war ends.
A boy is found in an iceberg. Two siblings travel with him in search of a water bender master. They wish to see the war end. They wish for lasting peace. In the Earth Kingdom, they meet a stranger, thin and sharp from long years on the road. Bandages cover one side of his face and much of his body. His name is Lee, and he needs their help.

Summary
"Goldstone is the product of high heat and little oxygen. Rather than fragile, it is sturdy as a result of the extreme circumstances of its birth. Often confused with a naturally occurring material, it is the product of human hands. In this way, goldstone can be confused for war, art, and (some would argue) the Gods."
A spirit is born in a mask. A Prince is possessed. It's not necessarily a bad arrangement, for now.

Summary
It has been five months since the Krang invasion failed. All of this was supposed to be over - the past has been saved, and Casey Jones has fulfilled his promise. He's doing good, keeping his Masters distinct from his new family mentally and adjusting to his new life. Mostly.
Too bad the universe seems hell bent on never letting Casey - or the rest of his family - rest for too long.

Summary
Zim damages his PAK in a lab accident. It’s certainly nothing to worry about... as long as the Tallest send him those replacement parts before it starts seriously affecting his health. Zim’s injury and the resulting increase in his strange behavior inevitably sets Dib off, and his increasing suspicion and paranoia leads to an event that tips the delicate balance of their conflict wildly out of Zim’s favor. One way or another, everything is about to change.

Summary
"And now, here he was, cradling in his mangled arms everything he had ever dreamed of, doomed to be torn from his bandaged hands."
Sunagakure is a village steeped in and bound by oft-archaic tradition. With a proud and well-documented lineage of only biologically male Kazekage, Gaara could not possibly be caught having his own child, especially not one fathered by a Leaf-nin.
So when a clandestine relationship has unforeseen consequences, and the tide of war rises again, Lee and Gaara are forced to learn painful lessons in responsibility, making choices, and the meaning of unconditional love.

Summary
Sunagakure is an outpost’s outpost, the most hidden of the hidden villages. Situated deep in the bowels of the planet Kaze, aptly named for the devastating windstorms caused by its thin atmosphere, the village is mostly nomadic. Under attack, the entire village can close off its tunnel structure and relocate in less than twenty-four hours, so long as the location of the Seed Bank isn’t discovered.
With Gaara as its leader and a code of strict cultural mores, the small underground society has survived, perhaps even thrived. But their safety and stability is put at risk when a ship crashes on the surface of Kaze, a ship whose crew claim to be the last known survivors of the long-abandoned planet Earth. And what the outsiders bring with them causes Gaara to question everything he's ever known ...

Summary
“Inta ktkoot.”
Shijima froze as if she’d been caught in her own defective sharingan. Surely she’d misheard. She’d never known the Kazekage to use an endearment, much less to call someone adorable.
Or, five times Rock Lee utterly misunderstood the Kazekage, and one time they understood each other perfectly.
