    Summary

    “Room for one more?” Vi asks, pulling a bottle from the satchel at her side, half empty, amber liquid sparkling golden in the low light, like the rooftops below them. She hands it to him before he can protest, goes to rummage around the satchel again to fish out a dented cup and its matching straw.

    How she even pulled it from the rubble of the Last Drop Ekko’ll never know, but he knows he loves her so much in that moment it makes him dizzy, loves her in that way he hasn’t since they were children, since the last time she took a punch aimed at him.

    Summary

    Maybe Solas just needs a gin-and-tonic and a good therapist. Shit, do they have gin in Thedas? Note to self: Find and then distill liquor with juniper berries.

    Wait, do they have tonic?

    Summary

    That night, with Appa snoring next to them and Katara snuggled against his shoulder, Aang breathed and counted. He raked his mind for very little tradition, every little custom, everything he could remember about Air Nomad culture. Otherwise, it dies with me, he’d thought, suddenly terrified. It dies with me.

    At ten, you become responsible for your own air bison. They’re companions for life. At eleven, each airbending child gets the chance to visit the wenwú shí of their Temple. At twelve, the standards become higher; assisting the air nuns and monks is your top priority. Thirteen, the first taste of travel; at the Eastern Air Temple, the Shēnqíng de hú will be the start of your spiritual journey. Fourteen is the age of enlightenment; with the mastering of your element, the arrows start being drawn over your skin.

    It’s a long process, and a sacred one. Each age brings with it something new; with each age, something grows.

    Needless to say, Aang hasn’t gotten a lot of experience with that. 

     

    Or, Aang never really stops grieving. Featuring Air Nomad culture, birthdays, and a conversation on a rooftop.

    Summary

    “It says that the killer’s DNA is a close familial match with...Martin Whitly.”

    Malcolm felt his heart pounding in his chest, an odd sensation of vertigo sweeping through him. His hands suddenly felt clammy, his skin too tight.

    “Close familial match?” Dani repeated. “What does that mean?”

    Edrisa hesitated again. “A close familial match would be a parent, a sibling...or a child.”

    Everyone’s gaze swung to Malcolm.

    Summary

    They care, Steve repeats to himself. They care. People care about him. It’s not ideal, but it’s something. He can work with it. Nobody’s ever been voted Prom King after they had a breakdown in the parking lot during study hall.

    -

    Robin hates boys. This guy’s voice sounds just as annoying as her crying does, though, so at least it isn’t just her being victimized by the bathroom tiles.

    -

    Steve and Robin have always had something in common. It just took them a while to figure it out.
