Summary
When Sokka tells him there will be a trial, Aang seems almost surprised.
“A trial?” he asks. “But everyone already knows what they did.”
Sokka massages his knee, hoping some of the relief will spread to his cast-bound leg. Everything seems to hurt more, now that the war is over. His other hand grips a brush, trying to find what order of words will make everyone do what he wants.
“I know,” he replies. “But we need one anyway.”
Finally, just before Sokka tells him to get out, Aang hesitantly asks if he will have to testify.
Sokka holds his brush steady for a moment, and a drop of ink lands on the parchment. Before he has to ask, Aang gently lifts the mistake from the page and bends it back into the inkwell.
“I don’t know,” Sokka replies. “I don’t know.”

Summary
Ford sighs again, this time more tired than frustrated. “How about New York, then?”
A pit opens up in Stan’s stomach. He doesn’t want to go to New York either. He doesn’t say anything, and Ford groans.
“Stanley,” he presses. “We need to stop somewhere.”
Stan tries to find a reason, even if just for himself, that he doesn’t want to go. He had good memories there, for the most part. She was young, in her prime, going to bars every night and sleeping with whoever she wanted. She was happy.
Finally, he shrugs. “Yeah. Do what you gotta do.”

Summary
Stan doesn’t ever ‘come out’, really. All it is is that one day he is Stanley and he has a girl, and he likes girls, and he’s perfectly well and good being a man, and then one next day he’s at a bar drinking, and he realizes he’s stumbled into a queer bar, and there’s a boy hanging off his arm and he’s thinking, this might as well happen.
-
So, sue her, she doesn’t really get the whole thing. Or, at least, she doesn’t get anyone else's thing. Her thing makes perfect sense to her.

Summary
Everyone seems to think he’s putting on a show for the cameras when he talks about the Games. Schlatt will offer him a drink after television appearances, Niki will pat him on the shoulder, Tommy will try to hug him through it. But, truly, part of him thinks it’s the only time he gets to be himself.
Being at home with Tommy is more of a performance than he ever put on in the Capitol.

Summary
You still cut your hair like a soldier. Short and trimmed, to keep from lice. It had started growing out when you were a spy. They cut it off when you were burned, and you’ve kept it like that since.
You hope, for diplomacy reasons, it makes you look older.

Summary
He doesn’t remember the last time that he had the time to do something as simple as just look up. He’s been running for so long, he’s been trapped and let go and pushed and dragged across the world and back again, and he doesn’t know how it happened but somehow he has found himself standing still—maybe for the first time since he found out he was a demigod. Maybe for the first time since he and Bianca were brought out of the Lotus and back into the real world, when she’d cupped his face between her hands and promised, “Now we’ll have a real life, you and I.”
He wonders, as he often does, what she would think if she could see him now.

or,
Starting after Nico's three-day-stay in the infirmary, the repercussions of being alone and fighting in two wars—across the span of only four years, might he add—begin to manifest. Featuring the formation of new friendships, reconciliation with old ones, self-reinvention, and the revolutionary concept that it's okay to just be a kid and need people sometimes.
