    Summary

    “What is your mission?” Madame asks her a week later, in a empty airport terminal.

    Mariya laughs. It is high and delicate and when she bats her eyelashes right after it looks simpering and sweet, “to make Howard Stark fall in love with me.”

    OR,

    Maria Stark was born Mariya Chernov, from Russia. She was raised and trained in the Red Room.

    Maria Stark was not just a housewife.

    Summary

    When Artemis attended Saint Bartleby's, there was a particularly bold student who took to ribbing Artemis, calling him Left-Foot Fowl, as "he had two left feet, and couldn't kick a football with either of them". As this incident occurred after Artemis had resolved to make an attempt to be amicable (a resolution preceded by quite a few near-death experiences), Artemis tolerated this goading for a while. He did, ultimately, buy out the offending student's family's hotel chain, but that is beside the point. A tale of teenaged awkwardness, private school politics, and, most of all, Artemis' horrendous social skills.

    Summary

    “You remember him,” Chit Sang sounded surprised.

    “I remember all of their names,” Zuko admitted. While he was on the ship, his father had sent him every death certificate from the 41st division. There was never any other note, no words from the Fire Lord, just a piece of paper with the name, age, and rank of the soldier who died. Zuko had kept every single one on his ship, reading over every single one and committing their names to his memory. He couldn’t stop them from dying, but they were what motivated him to keep moving, to get back his honor so that he could help prevent deaths like theirs.

    Chit Sang's brother fought in the 41st division. Unknowingly, Zuko had become a beacon of hope to those in the Fire Nation whose family had perished in the needless war, to the people who wished for a Fire Lord who will fight for their people instead of power. Chit Sang feels the need to let Zuko know this.
