The course of true love (never did run smooth) by Denadareth

Summary
LYSANDER:
Ay me! For aught that I could ever read,
Could ever hear by tale or history,
The course of true love never did run smooth. (Midsummer's Night Dream, Act I, Scene I)Asami Sato was a rising Hollywood star when, surrounded by vicious rumours, she traded red carpets for rehearsal halls, leaving behind the shallow glare of the film industry for a shot at real theatre at the elite (and cutthroat) Zaofu Theatre Conservatory. Korra’s been the department’s golden girl (and resident hearbreaker) for over a year — and she’s not about to let some ex–movie star steal her stage. But when casting lists, late-night rehearsals, even later-night bar shifts, crazy parties, and a disastrous roommate shuffle keep throwing them together, rivalry starts looking a lot like chemistry.
But let's face it, everything looks like chemistry if you add some Shakespeare.

Living on the streets was rough.
Not that it really surprised him at this point. Winters especially were unforgiving.Ever since he lost his parents, it's been only him and his brother. Mako swore he would protect him with every breath he had, after all, Bolin was all he had left. He would do everything to make sure he was safe. And the Triple Threat Triad knew that.

Summary
“When we lived on the streets, Bolin and me, I used to work for Lightning Bolt Zolt. Yeah,” he says in response to Wu’s startled expression, “I was in a gang until I was sixteen or so. And Zolt taught me how to lightning bend.” Mako grimaces at his sling and soldiers on, “And he started taking me with him when he needed to intimidate people. He’d have me shoot lighting at stuff just to show that we could do it. People started calling me ‘The Kid’ because I was Zolt’s mini-me. His weapon or protégé or something. I never liked it, but there you have it.”
Wu looks at him with big, sad eyes and Mako looks away. He jumps in his seat, surprised, when Wu reaches out and takes his hand over the tabletop, “Well,” the prince says, “I must say, that is the most unimaginative nickname I’ve ever heard.”Series
