Summary
When Azula is nine, she becomes an only child. She hears the Fire Lord call for Zuko's life, and in the morning, her mother and brother are gone. Azula may be young, but she isn't naive. She knows what happened to them.
Which makes it all the more surprising when Azula tracks the Avatar down and fights his group of peasant friends, only to find herself staring into an eerily familiar face.

Garak writes to Bashir. Bashir writes to Garak. The letters, and the spaces in between.
(This one got me called the Jane Austen of Outer Space, which I will probably get tattooed on my forehead. It took ten years to write and I’m tremendously proud of it. If you like dialogue, pining, dialogue, flirting, dialogue, and Cardassia, please enjoy!)

Summary
“This is the crux,” he said, “it’s the hardest part of a climb.”
Hawks watched Bakugou Katsuki ascend, the way his body prevailed against gravity and hung suspended by fingertips on the smallest fracture of rock. The blonde grunted once, then upheaved himself into a crevice no wider than a cherry tree.
“You force yourself up,” Bakugou rasped, wiping away the sweat that dared run towards his eyes. He looked like a baker, his hands coated in a small clumping mixture of chalk and explosive sweat that flaked away like pie-dough. “If you give up at the crux, you’ll never get to the top.”
Hawks said, “then why did you give up being a hero?”Series

Summary
Bilbo Baggins arrived home late one afternoon in the middle of the week and the entire west Farthing is still talking about it.
Poor Mister Baggins. He was doomed to be a nine-days wonder no matter what and is it any wonder after a year-long adventure? Even the Tooks haven’t the influence to hush that up, but Mad Baggins seems to have managed to silence every tongue in the Shire on that subject which would be awe-inspiring ...if not for the way he decided to go about it.
OR: That one where Middle Earth seems to be unclear about where baby Hobbits come from.

Summary
The first time Cassandra speaks to Batman, it's in the language David Cain taught her. The way bodies speak is simple. Cassandra watches Bruce Wayne go, and thinks that people are not.
She goes back to Barbara. "I want," she says, and stops. She doesn't know the words for what she wants.
There's a story Cassandra heard once, about a boy made out of wood. He wanted something like this, too.
-
there are a lot of steps in between being a weapon and being a person.
Cassandra Cain becomes Batgirl. Batgirl becomes Cass Wayne. Cass isn't sure what it means, to be a person, and Batman isn't very good at teaching that. luckily Bruce has a protege or five to help her figure it out. -

Summary
No one in the League could rightly say they knew exactly who, or what, Captain Marvel was.
Billy Batson did not have any plans on changing that status.
Maybe he should stop feeding into the rumor mill, then.

Here’s the thing he quietly decided long ago: he will forget his native tongue in favor of common words, and leave the past in the past.
