Summary
The 80-year-war ended in a stalemate, the Fire Nation and the Northern Water Tribe signing a treaty to share the world. The North controls all the waters and the shores, the Fire Lord takes the inlands. They look out for each other, help each other to suppress and subjugate the South Pole and the Earth Continent.
Sokka was born into this, he knows that even if he’s officially being sent away from his birthland to learn the ways of the North, in reality he’s little more than a glorified prisoner. Even now, on this Northern ship he feels their scourge as they mock him behind his back; uncultured beast, dirty savage, southern scum… he considers turning on them and drastically reducing his life sentence when a cry of “Pirates!” erupts, seeding panic through the crew.
Sokka runs next to the captain and sees the old Admiral’s face go ashen as he watches the battleship with a golden dragon carved on the prow close in on them with impossible speed.
“Oh Tui, no...” He whispers, horrified “It’s the Blue Spirit.”

Sirens echoed throughout the valley, warning everyone to take shelter, but still Orym climbed so he could see what lay in the fog covered valley of his home. The clouds above swirled, and Orym caught a glimpse of a long tail and sharp claws.
A thunderous roar broke the sky, and a beast dove.
Two wings, two legs.
A wyvern.
"Good luck." Orym whispered, and he watched the first of the harpoons fire.
Zephrah thrived of the slaying of dragons.
And there would be blood today.Series

Summary
"It’s a beautiful day at the Soltryce Academy—the sky is vibrant and the trees rustle with the gentlest of winds as Caleb begins his impromptu Transmutation lecture outside. From the building on the edge of the grounds he hears a muffled bell tolling for fifth period. Somewhere in the distance, a student begins to whistle.
At that moment, Caleb feels at peace.
At that moment, a Purple Worm bursts forth from the soil directly in front of him, and all of his plans for a pleasant afternoon are promptly dashed."
---
Caleb and Essek have finally settled down - more or less. While the beloved and somewhat eccentric Professor Widogast is busy inciting small student-scale riots and teaching tiny wizards morals, Essek spends his days lounging around the house, drinking wine and experimenting with the exotic concept of 'cooking his own meals'. They are pretty sure life is great - until two pre-teen assassins crash-land into the middle of the Soltryce Academy and demand the former Shadowhand be surrendered to their custody. What are the two internationally in/famous mages to do? The answer will shock absolutely no one. -

Summary
“I’m going to suggest something that you won’t like.”
Gavin grinds his teeth, “That’s how most of our conversations go, tin man.”
Snow begins falling, slowly. It collects on the tops of Connor shoulders, hides in the dark strands of his hairs. Balances delicately on his eyelashes as he stares at Gavin. He’s tall, resolute, unwavering.

It's just Gavin's luck that as soon as his stubborn ass gives in and goes to a session, his life spins out of control.

Summary
Sokka wanted to see his dad more than anything in the world. Some nights, after everyone had gone to sleep and it was just him, he thought he would let the Fire Nation burn as many Earth Kingdom cities as they wanted if it meant that his dad could hold him close one more time and never have to let go. When Katara offered to stay behind, to let him see Dad, he was a hair's breadth away from agreeing.
But Sokka knew his sister better than he thought he knew himself sometimes. For all her talent and kindness, she didn't have the same mind for strategy; she'd never needed to rely on it like he had. And while they’d traveled, she had been too focused on mastering her bending, and then teaching Aang to do the same, to notice all the little things that could make the difference between a successful invasion and a tragedy. Sokka had been the one to take note of everything. He was the one with the experience, and he knew that if this plan failed, it wouldn't matter if he got to see Dad right now anyways because he'd never have the chance to keep him.So he let Katara go instead of him.
And that changed a lot of things.tl;dr: the 'sokka was the one with zuko in the caves under ba sing se' au i realized i needed
