a nation, held

by snowdarkred

It doesn’t take long for the rumors to start.The Fire Nation prides itself on its civilization. It isn’t like the other, lesser, nations who throw their children away by sending them into war. Those uncultured and unfeeling savages who are destroying their own future faster than the Fire Nation can save them from themselves.Every Fire Nation child goes to school. They learn reading and writing, the illustrious history of their country, and what will be expected of them as proper, upstanding Fire Nation citizens. They are to be protected, because children are the future glory of the nation.The crown prince is thirteen when his father burns his face in front of an audience of hundreds.

I Wish We'd Met Before (They Convinced Us Life is War)

by Kirazalea

Sokka wanted to see his dad more than anything in the world. Some nights, after everyone had gone to sleep and it was just him, he thought he would let the Fire Nation burn as many Earth Kingdom cities as they wanted if it meant that his dad could hold him close one more time and never have to let go. When Katara offered to stay behind, to let him see Dad, he was a hair's breadth away from agreeing.But Sokka knew his sister better than he thought he knew himself sometimes. For all her talent and kindness, she didn't have the same mind for strategy; she'd never needed to rely on it like he had. And while they’d traveled, she had been too focused on mastering her bending, and then teaching Aang to do the same, to notice all the little things that could make the difference between a successful invasion and a tragedy. Sokka had been the one to take note of everything. He was the one with the experience, and he knew that if this plan failed, it wouldn't matter if he got to see Dad right now anyways because he'd never have the chance to keep him.So he let Katara go instead of him.And that changed a lot of things.tl;dr: the 'sokka was the one with zuko in the caves under ba sing se' au i realized i needed

The Legend Of Liob

by Killbothtwins

The Republic sends a combat photographer to be attached to the 212th until further notice, citing the need for a morale boost. The clones make up a fake clone, citing the absolute fact that it is very funny. Somehow, these two things save the galaxy.

Naruto

In Sound Judgement

by NegativeAperture

The main question, she thinks, isn’t her chance at survival or whether she’ll stick to the plot. No, it’s whether she should change the flawed system that thrives off war and child soldiers. Arguably, she’s in the best position to fix it. People would certainly be more willing to listen to you if you threaten them with the giant fox demon in your gut. But what would the cost be? Her morals? Her humanity? The road to hell is paved with good intentions after all. (In which a human rights lawyer is reincarnated into a world without morality, without logic, and most of all, without laws. Helping the world was easier when people weren’t ninjas.)

A Boy's Unwilling Removal From The Battlefield

by IndigosAbyss

All things considered, it was a weak curse. Barely one that deserved to be pitted against Gojo Satoru. Sure, it had a unique ability that clashed with Limitless to temporarily bring them to some weird other place, but in the few minutes it took to get them both back, it had already crumpled from the cursed energy usage.Oh, well. No harm done at least.He didn't notice the boy he dragged along with him.Kakashi was twelve, newly inducted into ANBU. His teacher just became Hokage. And even if he it wasn't his fault, he had abandoned his post. Every second he spent here, he became more of a traitor. He needed to get home. Tried forcing the man who brought him here to return him. Only to find that it was now impossible.Those who abandon the mission are trash. Those who abandon their comrades are worse than trash.What do you call someone who has done both?

truth of you

by treescape

Anakin would be lying if he said he didn’t also feel a small, possessive thrill whenever he thought about the fact that he got to see sides of Obi-Wan that the public never would. Or, Anakin sets about showing just how well he knows Obi-Wan.

the circle ends.

by arabellagaleotti

“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.

the invisible exchange

by screamingintune

Zuko suddenly realized with bone-deep certainty that he was going to die out here on this spirits-cursed raft in the middle of the ocean. Or... Zuko stops eating on the raft he was on with Uncle Iroh after the failed Invasion of the North, and no one notices because intuitive master firebenders can supplement a carnivorous diet with photosynthesis almost exclusively.

Nepotism is Only Bad if You Have No Merits- Otherwise, it's Networking

by 7thSpaceCadet

Midoriya Hisashi cries tears of relief when a 5 year old Izuku looks him in the eyes and tells him:"I'm quirkless."Then, he forces his son to swear that he'll survive - to care for Inko, if nothing else - and it's a demand that Izuku is too young to understand and all too eager to accept.Midoriya Hisashi is 29 years old when he dies the next morning; killed by his own quirk.It takes 5 more years for Izuku to begin to regret making that promise, and only 3 more after that for a girl, older than him, and with much sharper canines, to ask him if it's worth it: to live a life of suffering in the name of an exhausted mother and a dead man.Apparently, he gives the wrong answer, as Himiko Toga laughs in his face, and tells him it absolutely isn't- and they exchange contacts.So, Izuku is 13 years old when he blackmails the staff of Aldera Middle, and Katsuki, for his own peace of mind, and decides:If he's going to be a hero, he might as well make himself untouchable, and make some connections early.(On a totally unrelated note: both Mr. and Mrs. Bakugou are delighted by his sudden interest in the fashion industry!)
