Summary
Crown Prince Zuko discovers his bending when he is five and his sister is three, and she’s the first person he tells, juggling a flame while she admires its beauty. When he shows the rest of his family, his mother’s chopsticks clatter to the table, and when Zuko looks to his father, his eyes are wide with shock.
His grandfather speaks first, the head of the table, and approval runs thick through his tone: “Well, look at that. A true prodigy, wouldn’t you agree, Ozai?”
“Indeed,” he hums.
//
(Princess Azula won’t summon her first flame—a guttering, timid thing—until she’s seven.)
//
Or, in a world where Zuko is the prodigy and Azula is the one banished, destiny shifts accordingly.

Summary
They popped onto the scene in 2025 with one hit single and fizzled out just as quickly - what happened to Saja Boys? Forced by the whims of Patreon subscribers, YouTube Music Reviewer Todd in the Shadows covers the rise, fall (and possible sabotage?) of KPop's briefest boyband, while desperately trying to untangle the innuendos of "Soda Pop".

Summary
There's something deeply sad about being reborn into a person whose most notable traits were sickness and dying. What's the point of new life if it's the whimpering absence thereof that defined Gekkou Hayate's brief presence in canon?
This is bullshit.
(SI into a background character of Naruto who doesn't mean to become important to the plot, yet stumbles into being exactly that anyway.)

Summary
In his determination to conquer Jeju Island and finally lay his nightmares to rest, Jong-In offers Jin-Woo anything and everything he can think of to get the man to sign on for the mission. Including himself.
