    Summary

    Jinu coughs roughly into his sleeve.

    Why? Why now, when they are so close?

    He tilts his head back and lets his body slide down the wall.

    He sighs. He has to make this work; the other are counting on him.

    Jinu opens his eyes and looks at his reflection: his sleeveless shirt shows all his patterns, a constant reminder of how he cannot escape himself. His nature.

    He was born half-demon: his father died when he was too young, and his mother…well.

    His mother was a demon.

    We’ll make them disappear. And everything will be okay.

    Summary

    A brutal counteroffensive on the Day of Black Sun alters the trajectories of Zuko and Katara's fates, changing their lives forever.

     

    This work delves deeply into the world of Avatar, staying true to much of the source inspiration while taking liberties so as to age it up and break down so many of those amazing themes and questions brought up in the show. Specific focus on trauma, guilt, and PTSD; on the moral gray area that war creates and the inevitability of having to do the hard thing over the right thing. Early chapters set the framework, but later chapters are some of my best writing.

    Sprawling, long-form character study (mainly 3rd person, with 1st person flashbacks).

    Rated M (read tags). Ignore AO3—work first published in August 2022.

    Summary

    The ship came to their shores in the third year after the war ended.

    One ship, just one, and Penelope stood on the clifftop near her husband’s palace and looked down upon the harbor below, and clenched her fist in her himation until it was wrapped around her so tight that it was imprinting its weave pattern onto her skin. Just one ship, and the men she could see disembarking were too few to be fifty, and none turned to hare instantly up the hill towards her.

    Penelope turned away to head into the palace, to wait for the bad news to find her.

    (odysseus chooses to sacrifice himself, and penelope chooses not to let him go)
