    Summary

    Catra clenches her fists. She won’t let it happen. She won’t endanger their future. “We can’t change anything. We’ll just have to wait, and do everything the same way we did before.”

    Adora grabs Catra’s shoulders. Her grip is so tight, it’s nearly painful. “But do you realize what that means for us? Playing along. Letting things go the exact same way as before–”

    Catra’s expression darkens. “I know,” she says, struggling to keep her voice from trembling. “You’ll have to leave. We’ll have to be enemies again.”

    ***
    Years after defeating Horde Prime, Catra and Adora inexplicably wake up in the past—on the day that Adora first found the sword. If they're going to make it back to the present, they'll have to relive their past from start to finish, pretending to be enemies despite being in love. Despite being married. Despite knowing exactly how the story ends.

    But it's not easy, waging war against the person you love most.

    (now read the sequel, immemorial)!

    Summary

    "Suki," he says, muffled. "Suki, tell me to stop crushing on the hot single dad at work."

    Suki doesn't look up from painting her nails. "Go out and bag yourself a DILF, babe."

    Zuko's insistence that it's him and his kid against the world is being seriously tested by Izumi's new teacher.

    Sokka's determination to ignore hot parents is waning more and more as he gets to know the single dad of the new kid.

    Everyone else is just waiting for them both to get their acts together.

    Summary

    "We are protectors," her father used to say in his slow, eastern Fire Nation dialect as he smoothed back the loose strands of Rangi’s bun after she spent too long running around the volcanic beaches of her home island. "It is our duty, our honor, to protect those that cannot protect themselves."

    "But why can’t they protect themselves?" Rangi asked once, sitting on his lap on the rocky cliffs near their home.
    Her father looked at her and laughed as he took her hands in his. His laugher was a deep, warm sound. Safe. "Sometimes, little one, it’s better to not do everything alone."

    [Or: When the shirshu spit darts render her unconscious, Rangi remembers her father. A story about Rangi's capture, prison break, and reunion.]

    Summary

    “Aren’t you two—”

    “If you’re done talking about Adora and Catra getting married,” says Entrapta, with all the subtlety and tact of a sledgehammer, “I have calculated the voltage needed…”

    Wherever the rest of Entrapta’s sentence is going to go, it falls away. The whole room falls away as understanding hits Catra like a bolt of lightning, an electrifying shock to her system that leaves her reeling. Getting married? Her and Adora? Questions well up on her tongue — What? Why? — and she doesn’t realize she has fumbled through those fragmented inquiries until Frosta answers her.

    “Um. You’re wearing Adora’s pin.”
