    Summary

    The room is too bright.

    It’s quaint, in a nauseating sort of way. Polished floors glint from the gleaming honeycomb chandeliers overhead, make him squint. A few vases sprinkled here and there, filling the room with a sickeningly sweet scent – even a waffle-cone headrest framing the silken sheets of a neatly-tucked bed. Outside, the golden sun gleams, the gentle rays of light spilling past curtains that waver in the afternoon breeze.

    It's meant to be beautiful. Luxurious. Welcoming.

    With one sweep of his cane, Shadow Milk tears it apart.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    the massive hype around this fic had me nervous - how could anything live up to all the fanart and posts and tears flooding my various feeds? well color me impressed! it exceeded my expectations by a mile. this is a really sweet fic at its core (to me at least) and the tension and excitement keep you guessing as this pair of idiots circles ever closer, inevitably. it’s also stunningly canon compliant! not sure how you balanced that all things considered, but you did. i love the way that smilk’s various disguises are personified as well. i wonder if one day lady milk crown will come to accept the imperfect perfection of the life shadow milk has carved out for himself? actually, she might just pop out to slap clotted cream haha.

    Summary

    One day he woke up and he was done: with the League and Macro Cosmos, the titles and the sponsors. He was free! Except no one told him how goddamn scary freedom could be.

    (Or, Leon tries to figure out what to do with the rest of his life. Raihan being part of that was just... inevitable, at this point.)

    Summary

    Hakoda kills a Southern Raider. This backfires spectacularly. Zuko is just trying to keep four kids from dying while not being a traitor to his nation. Toph is concerned. Sokka finds himself rethinking everything he had previously considered the norm.

    Or

    Kuei orders all of the Fire Nation out of Ba Sing Se after Azula fails her coup. This has wider ramifications than he thought.

    Summary

    In another universe, The Crown Prince of Xian Le, Xie Lian, did not ascend as a martial god, but as a god of flowers, a minor god.

    A minor god who made a mistake, and was punished, sealed in his own little portion of heaven with barely any power, indebted to the Heavenly Officials for their mercy and kindness. He spends his days in isolation, occasionally visited by gods when they want him for their festivals. He cannot refuse.

    All days were nice. All days were the same.

    Until a new 'god' visited, one draped in red with a large, red butterfly perched on his shoulder.

    “Hello, Gege. You can call me San Lang.”
