Outmaneuvering General Iroh

by WinterSnufkin

Zuko idly mentions that he hasn’t seen Uncle in months-- and leaves out the fact that it’s slowly killing him inside-- and Aang suggests that he does what they’ve all been doing:Make up an excuse.Zuko is scandalized, because he’s the Firelord and he has to be responsible, but the more he thinks about it, the more he’s sure that he can manage to do great good for his people with a visit to Ba Sing Se. It’s not so much making up an excuse as it is knocking out two pigeon-hawks with one stone. Convenient for everyone.

Everyone Has a Dark Side

by NarutoRox

“I don’t think Stevie wants us to get together,” Bucky said without preamble. It had been two weeks since the day Steve had walked in on the two of them almost kissing in Tony’s workshop, and in those two weeks, Steve’s behavior had become, well… ‘Distressing’ was probably a good description. ‘Worrying’ would also have been acceptable, though at the moment Tony was leaning more towards ‘annoying’. ~ In which Steve wants Tony and doesn't handle it well, Bucky and Tony just want each other, and Tony starts noticing some distressing behavior from Steve. Which isn't a problem, until it is. From this prompt: First thing first, let me just say in a very ineloquent manner: THIS BLOG EFFING ROCKS! *clears throat* I love you all, hail WinterIron! ^^ Secondly, I was thinking about a bit of dark!imagining O.o There's been quite a bit of supporting, sharing even, good-guy Steves, how about a healthy dose of dark!Steve not exactly happy about the prospect of Tony falling for Bucky instead of him and so trying to do everything against it. (I love you Steve, sorry! :D) Bonus points for BAMFprotective Bucky :3

Or,Zhou Mingrui, having inherited all of Celestial Worthy's remaining Beyonder Characteristics as well as Sephira Castle, is thrown in front of the Ancient Sun God due to 'Him' having the Error Uniqueness and Sequence 1 Characteristics and the Law of Beyonder Characteristic Convergence, while on the verge of losing control due to his lack of anchors. The Ancient Sun God is just happy to take in a naive Lord of Mysteries. Alternate title: Natural Coward

Dancing in Gold

by Shirooshrimp

As a member of the high nobility, he was invited to a ball. Bored by the event, he merely observed. Though countless ladies wished to dance with him, he turned them all down. It wasn't as if they wanted anything from him; it was his title that appealed to them. And perhaps the charm with which he carried himself.However, most were disappointed as soon as they realized how he behaved - not at all like the nobleman of their dreams.So it wasn't so bad for him to be alone for an evening. That had been his original plan anyway. He was already waiting for the event to end. Until his gaze caught on long golden hair, and a golden gown that was subtle, and yet impossible to ignore.   Next Update: Sunday

A Mand'alor (or Two)

by kj_feybarn

He should have known better than to investigate the Sith temple on his own. Around him, the barren desert of Mandalore made it clear just how much the galaxy had changed, and not, from everything he could tell, for the better. The future was nothing like Tarre would have ever imagined it would be. Perhaps it will take a whisper from the past to help it become what it should be.
