Summary
Kyoshi couldn’t just tell the dark-haired guitarist hi, I think you’re pretty, and I can’t figure out how I’ve never seen someone as beautiful as you before at a school as small as this one.
[or: the rangshi college band au absolutely no one asked for.]

Summary
"We are protectors," her father used to say in his slow, eastern Fire Nation dialect as he smoothed back the loose strands of Rangi’s bun after she spent too long running around the volcanic beaches of her home island. "It is our duty, our honor, to protect those that cannot protect themselves."
"But why can’t they protect themselves?" Rangi asked once, sitting on his lap on the rocky cliffs near their home.
Her father looked at her and laughed as he took her hands in his. His laugher was a deep, warm sound. Safe. "Sometimes, little one, it’s better to not do everything alone."(Or: When the shirshu spit darts render her unconscious, Rangi remembers her father. A story about Rangi's capture, prison break, and reunion.)

Summary
Zuko learns many lessons over the years that culminate in his decision to join the Avatar, end the war, and remove his father from the throne.
(Because you don’t just decide to forsake your birthright, your nation, and your family overnight.)

Summary
Toph will happily admit that she genuinely, honestly, likes Zuko. She has told her friends this repeatedly. She thinks Aang is starting to get it, but that’s because he’s realized Zuko is probably one of the only firebenders that won’t try to kill him on sight.
She would never admit it, but she sees herself in the way that Katara and Zuko argue, in the way Zuko never seems to fully understand what Sokka is trying to say, and in the way even now she still feels her temper flare with Aang. It reminds her, weirdly, a lot of herself in the early days of their little adventure, where she was still trying to find her footing.
(A look into Toph and Zuko’s friendship between The Western Air Temple and Sozin’s Comet.)

Summary
Many years after the fall of the Earth Empire, Avatar Korra visits Kuvira at her metalbending academy. The trip is both business and pleasure. Kuvira’s past has an unfortunate tendency to cast very large shadows, and every now and then, one of them chooses to darken, try as Kuvira might to move away from it all.
