Summary
It wasn’t long before every national and international news outlet got their greedy paws ahold of it, somehow.
The whole thing was abrupt and frankly unexplainable. The question for a while was if this was real news, or just some far-fetched, blabbering nonsense that big shot news corporations always spouted. A short amount of time went on, and people quickly became more and more aware that it was, in fact, not far fetched or nonsensical at all.
One day, everything was fine and dandy, and the very next day there was nothing being done in any city or nation aside from searches, searches, searches. Abandoned buildings, alleyways, forests. Any place that could possibly be searched was searched, but the result always remained the same.
Avatar Korra was missing. Actually missing.

It’s been five years since Avatar Korra died, and counting.

Summary
Finally, she makes a sound. “If you didn’t actually want to go, then you could’ve just said that, y’know,” she tells her, somewhat accusingly.
That throws Nancy off guard.
“What?”
“You don’t have to pretend that you want to be here, Nance. You can still go home if you want.”
Nancy quickly pulls over so she can look at Robin. She doesn’t care that it’s the middle of a busy street. She hopes that her expression conveys the same amount of hurt that she feels on the inside. “That’s—no, it’s nothing like that. I promise.” She pauses. Repeats, ‘I promise. I really just… didn’t have a good night last night. It’s okay. To be honest, I was looking forward to this ever since you asked me.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, Rob. Believe it or not, people actually want to be around you.”

Summary
They stare at each other for a moment, time splintering in pieces around them: a masterpiece waiting to paint itself, a train waiting to wreck itself. Asami is the one who’s dead, but Korra doesn’t think she’s ever felt this cold in her life.
“Don’t,” she chokes out. “Don’t talk to me. Not like this. Not when you’re...”
Silence, for a moment. Silence and shadows and shaky breaths. It hurts to look at Asami, and it hurts to look away.
“It’s still me,” Asami says at last, her voice bent around a note of desperation, and Korra thinks: No, it’s not.

Summary
“Well, we need an excuse for me to go into Woodsboro, and I’ve gotten pretty close with Sam Carpenter recently…”
“Sam?” Amber asks, surprised. “Tara’s absentee sister, Sam?”
“Yeah. I think we’re close enough that if Sam went back to Woodsboro, I could go with her.”
Amber hesitates, confused. “Okay, but… what could lure her back to Woodsboro?”
“That brings in my new idea for an opening kill. Someone lovable, someone helpless: there won’t even be a good chase, but none of the fans will care because the bloodbath will be so wonderful,” Richie says, voice crazed. After a moment of dramatic pause, he says: “Tara.”
Tara, with her gentle hands, and loving smile, opinionated rants and perfect pasta? Tara, who always listens, who is lying all pretty and small in bed right now, probably waiting for Amber to come back given her tendency to drop to sub-zero temperatures when she sleeps alone? That Tara? “...What?”
---
A change in plans that puts her best friend on the chopping block forces Amber Freeman to rethink her priorities. Canon-divergent Tara/Amber AU.

Summary
“Oh shit,” said a voice behind her. A voice. Raspy and laughing. A little deep, a little lilting, a little too loud, always. A voice she used to listen to for hours, hours. A voice that used to whisper to her, that used to crack on a moan. A little breathless. A voice that used to call to her, always calling. A voice that she’d know anywhere, anywhere. “Nancy ‘killshot’ Wheeler.”
Nancy gripped her beer by the neck, spun around to face her.
“Buck,” Nancy said, it kind of punched out of her. Robin’s surprised grinning face changed into an expression that was smaller- warm and affected. Nancy shook her head, felt a shocked laugh bubble up. “Jesus Christ.”

Summary
Nancy leaned against the counter, her chin resting in her hand, watching Robin maneuver around the cramped aisles of the store with the returns cart. It was inefficient, her method. She took the cart with her instead of just carrying one or two tapes. She bounced around the store like a ping pong ball, but slower, because of that damn cart.
"Why do you do it that way? The way you-" Nancy gestured at the cart and at the shelves. "The tapes. Why do you do them in that order?"
