Appa and Momo Screwed the Timeline by Keetajet for blossomberries

Summary
”The balance is gone. Avatar Aang has died and the cycle is broken.” Old-man-Aang-without-the-arrows. Momo screeched, desperately trying to reach him before the dream forced him away and he woke up.
“The other bonds are gone. His bending masters and friends have also perished during this war.” Tall-and-fierce-face-painted-Aang murmured, looking resigned and less fierce.
Female-Aang-with-arrows flashed her blue shimmered gray eyes at the frantic Momo with a calm, shrewd look in her gaze that reminded Momo of Sokka, “Not all of the Avatar’s bond has perished.”

Summary
"She had 9-1-1 talk her through a field tracheotomy.”
Immediately, Buck’s free hand flies towards his throat. He’s only just grazed a patch of gauze before Hen catches his hand and pulls it away.
“Abby… Is a great dispatcher, but she doesn’t have any field experience. Getting instructions over the phone and using a steak knife isn’t really a recipe for a good outcome.” Buck finally looks back over at Hen, and even in the dim light, he can see the tears forming at the corners of her eyes. “The good news is that she was able to open an airway and keep the oxygen flowing to your brain…”
Hen trails off, and Buck gives her hand a little squeeze.
“…The bad news is knife slipped, or she applied too much pressure, and the incision went much further than it should have.”
---
Abby's hand slips when giving Buck a field tracheotomy, and he ends up losing his voice. Despite him thinking so, it's not the end of the world, especially when he meets his replacement. -

Tim has the perfect plan to get Batman to hire and adopt his new, homeless best friend Jason. All Tim has to do is put himself in life threatening situations (ie: swinging from a rope over a vat of poison, or strapped to the train tracks) and then Jason will be dressed like vigilante and pretend to save poor Timmy right as Batman swoops in to save the day. Once Jason has enough saves on his resume, Batman totally has to add him to the Batfamily. Nothing at all can go wrong with that plan, right?
aka: Tim has an unhinged master plan to get Jason to join the Batfamily early.

Summary
Therein lies the crux of the Buck problem. Eddie’s in love with Buck, he knows it and thinks he has subconsciously known it for a while now. And he thinks that Buck loves him, too, knows that if he didn’t, he wouldn’t be spending every night at Eddie’s home and caring for his son as if he was his own, wouldn’t offer to drive Eddie to and from physical therapy appointments without making it seem like a hassle. But Buck deserves someone who can give him everything he needs, who can have his back all the time, and Eddie knows that he can’t be that person right now.
Because Buck deserves to be completely enveloped in love and affection, and Eddie can’t physically give him that, his constantly aching and useless arm an ever-present reminder. All he has to give is a one-armed hug, a broken mug, and a heart that wants too much that he doesn’t deserve.
--
Or, when the bullet severs the nerves of his right arm, Eddie realizes the road to recovery doesn’t always have to be made of gravel.Bookmarked by Scribbled_Seconds
