    Summary

    “Your dad,” Sokka starts, then swallows hard. “Your dad dueled you, burned half of your face off, and then banished you because you spoke when you shouldn’t have?”

    Guilt festers and bubbles like black tar in Zuko’s chest. “I didn’t just speak. I questioned and insulted one of his highest-ranking generals—but the man was planning a massacre! He shouldn’t have—” Zuko clamps his mouth shut, his teeth clicking together, and swallows thickly. “I mean. I found the tactic he proposed very startling, but it wasn’t my place to question such things. I’m sure he had his reasons.”

    “Tui and La what the absolute fuck,” Sokka whispers.

    [Zuko gets imprisoned with Sokka and Katara during the winter solstice, and some very unfortunate things come to light. Alternatively: the gaang kidnaps adopts Zuko in book one after discovering just how awful his father is.]

    Summary

    Sometimes, all it takes is one rotten conversation for the world to change tracks. When Jin Zixuan inadvertently insults Jin Guangyao's mother, Jin Guangyao hatches the perfect plan for revenge. He will make Zixuan perfect wife, his precious A-Li, look like the whore of the Yiling Laozu. It works better than expected--and he expects the Yiling Laozu to erupt in fury and draw the sects' anger any moment now.

    Suffice to say, Nie Huaisang isn't very thrilled with that option. After all, if the sects have to fight the Yiling Laozu, his Da-ge will be on the front line. And scandalous gossip about a demonic cultivator will always be more interesting than the life of a rather unimportant woman. And so - another rumor replaces the first. "Have you heard? The Yiling Laozu is a cutsleeve!"

    Summary

    Nie Mingjue knew that his little brother could be particular. But suddenly, out of the blue, his precious tiny baby brother demanded to have a baby brother of his own, and demanded to go find one in Yiling. That's its own box of problems, but why on earth did A-Sang pick what has to be the ugliest street child that ever was to be their new brother?

    In which Nie Huaisang time travels. Wei Ying slowly sheds the affects of living on the street and finally has his Ugly Duckling turned Swan moment, but Lan Zhan, who visits with his brother all the time, thoroughly disagrees.

    Summary

    The Great Dragon leans a little closer, regarding him with curiosity. “Wei Wuxian, you are our final hope.”

    Wei Wuxian has to pinch himself again. “That doesn’t make any…”

    “Your destiny has been written in the stars for eons. You will bring peace and prosperity to our wretched land. This is your fate, Wei Wuxian."

    “Oh…” Wei Wuxian sucks in a breath through his teeth. “Uh, maybe you have the wrong guy?”

    The dragon speaks calmly. “That is not possible."


    When Wei Wuxian leaves his home and comes to Gusu, it’s with every intention of starting a fresh, new, quiet life. But that quickly flies out the window when he finds out he’s—supposedly—meant to fulfil a grand destiny and change the whole world for the better. On top of that, he’s meant to do this alongside the esteemed Prince Wangji of Gusu. Sounds good, doesn’t it? Except for the fact that:

    1. The use of magic is strictly forbidden in the kingdom
    2. He’s a sorcerer

    What could possibly go wrong?

    (A lot.)

    Summary

    The Sunshot Campaign is over, and Wei Wuxian is making a solid attempt to drown himself in alcohol. Meanwhile, Jin Guangshan has a plan to get control over the Tiger Seal: literally seducing Wei Wuxian to join the Jin. If he sends enough women, surely one of them will catch the Yiling Patriarch's eye? Jiang Cheng doesn't get paid enough to deal with this nonsense.
