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
Almost a week after leaving L.A., Evan "Buck" Buckley is back with a plan and a newfound determination to get back the job and the family he lost. This time, he's the one in control and he's adamant that no one will take that away from him.
He decides to keep his return to L.A. a secret until he's ready to face them one by one. With some interesting but much-needed conversations on the horizon, Buck readies himself for the fight ahead of him.
OR, Buck returns to L.A. to try to fight for his job.
This is a sequel to my other Fic 'Can't Keep Chasing This Fire (I'm so Damn Tired)' and would make more sense once that one has been read.

Summary
Hen stares at Buck for a long moment, then turns on her heel to walk upstairs. “Chim! Did you know that Peanut is a human child and not a small animal?”
“Buck’s Peanut?” Chim calls back, leaning over the railing. “No? Is she not a dog?”
“No!” Buck replies. “She’s a preschooler!”OR: At 22, Buck got one of his hookups pregnant and decided to keep the baby himself rather than let her be put up for adoption. At 26, he joined the 118. You know the rest, right?

Summary
The one where Theo reluctantly helps the pack capture Monroe, deals with the aftermath of his upbringing with the Dread Doctors, saves the lives of not so few people (despite the will to deny it until his dying breath), practically adopts Alec and pulls his head out of his ass.
