    Summary

    Sinking was different from falling. The latter was fast and unforgiving, one moment and the next. Sinking - drowning - dying was more contemplative.

    And as he went, down, down, down, he heard -

    “Are you letting yourself die here, Zuzu?”

    But the words rise something in him - something awful, but something powerful. Anger, maybe, confusion and hurt, definitely.

    No.

    He grinned, a mess of teeth and lips. It wasn't pretty, but it was real.

    If he was going to die, it was going to be by fire. It was going to be on land, and it was going to be on his own damn terms.

    Or, different moments of Zuko and Azula's life, and their morbid relationship (with themselves, and with death.)

    Summary

    Yue knew: the moon was always there, but one day, it would not be, and Yue would not be either.

    And that was why Yue was okay with never being able to be. Be normal, be happy, be Yue. She was alright never knowing what those things even were.

    Because Yue's life had never been hers to keep.

    Summary

    "You're sad," Toph said bluntly.

    Aang titled his head sideways, smiling even if it hurt, "Don't be silly, I'm fine - "

    "No, Aang. You're not. It's okay not to be fine, you know?" she shifted slightly, frowning, "It's okay to be sad."

    Or, Aang, the Western Air Temple, and grief.

    Summary

    Hiccup sighed, “So are you gonna put out the fire or …”

    “Nah,” Ruffnut said, “Let it burn.”

    “You know, little H,” Tuffnut said, finally looking away from the fire, “We’re always wrecking havoc. It’s like our specialty. But you my friend - you are a walking disaster.”

    “Gee, thanks.”

    The roof on the smithy collapsed inward. Hiccup sighed. Ruffnut and Tuffnut looked at him in awe.

    Hiccup hadn’t known it then, and wouldn’t ever know it, but that was the day that he first truly began falling out of favour with his father - and the day that he began falling into favour with the most insane duo on Berk.

    Or, thanks to the fact that Hiccup seems to screw-up everything he touches, the twins follow him around for free entertainment. What they didn't sign up for was friendship.

    Summary

    Every decade, three teenagers are dragged from the future and placed in their younger bodies to give predictions that will set the tone for the next ten years on Berk.

    But how are three dragon riders supposed to give prophecy to a village full of dragon-hating vikings?
