    Summary

    Astarion has spent two hundred years waiting for a hero to come.

    It isn't the foolish sort of idle dreaming that one reads about in adventure tales, no – he doesn't moon about in picturesque arched windows, pressing his hand to his chest and sighing. But he does hope sometimes, furtive and distantly yearning, in the same way he still prays to gods who never listen, every now and again.

    Summary

    Zuko had never excelled at anything. Azula was a prodigy. Uncle always knew what to say. And Father... Father was strong, iron-like. But Zuko had only ever been good at surviving. Putting one foot in front of the other in a grim show of stubborn determination, gritting his teeth and bearing it. Survival was all he had ever been taught. He knew how to do it. So when he was kidnapped by the Southern Water Tribe, he expected to fight as he always had. He didn’t expect to be taught instead how to live.

    In a warring land, the Water Tribe forgave the enemy in an act of defiance. For this, he was torn from them, and this time, his wounds won't heal so easily.

    Forced back into nothing but survival, the last person Zuko expected to see was Hakoda's son. Hakoda was a promise of safety. The relentless blue of Sokka’s eyes was a promise of happiness. Zuko could have both if he just reached out his hands, but he found them clutching into fists. After all, he’d been burned one too many times.

    But hey, at least between Hakoda and Sokka, Zuko could appreciate the family resemblance of pure, asinine stubbornness.

    Summary

    Updated with artwork!!!

    His rising panic brought the nausea back full force as Jon just blinked at him for a long moment. He was going to be fired while hungover and mostly naked on his boss’s couch...and yeah, okay when strung all together like that, it sounded much more deserved.

    -Or I buried myself in fluff to escape the world for a bit, and it just keeps getting scarier so I thought I'd put it out there in case anyone else wants to hide out in here with me. There's plenty of soft pining to go around.

    Summary

    “So...you’re from the future. In the past. Why?”
    “You want the short answer or the long one?”
    “Short,” Martin says after a moment’s deliberation. “Until I decide if I trust you.”
    The other nods, as if he expected that answer—which, well, if he really
    is Martin from the future, he probably did. “To stop the world from ending.”

    They have one last chance to fix this - one last chance to prevent the Eyepocalypse, to save the world - to save their world. It all hinges on which is the greater force: greed...or love.
