Title: Even Ghosts Can Go Mad
Pairing: Mai/Zuko (Implied Zutara)
Rating: PG
Words: 850-ish
Summary: Mai may have died that day at the Boiling Rock, but she never left.
Notes: Here is my decidedly unromantic valentines fic. :D This was prompted by attackfish  way back in my art prompt meme, and was haunting my hard-drive (HA!). So I decided to give it a quick polish and post (mostly because I sorta hate valentines day).

Title: The Problem With Zuko
Word Count: 25,300
Rating: PG-13
Warnings and pairings: Hints of child abuse, One sided Maiko, Toph/Zuko (of sorts), Kataang
Summary:  AU: Lu Ten never died at Ba Sing Se, and Fire Lord Iroh rules the nation with an iron fist. Zuko is merely the son of the second prince, overlooked by his more talented younger sister and can only dream of the day when he will be finally allowed to prove himself in battle. When Lu Ten returns, triumphant, with the Avatar and his Water Tribe companions in chains, Zuko is put in charge of their imprisonment. But he soon learns that things are not what they seem with both the child Avatar and within his own family. And soon, Zuko will have a decision to make. How much good can one overlooked nephew to the throne do?
Notes: I called for an army of betas to help me whip this into shape and that's exactly what I received! Thank you to alexb49 , attackfish , dungeonwriter , emptybackpack  and gatekeeperdra  . You guys made this readable. :D And special thanks to dungeonwriter  and schwarztkd  for brainstorming with me!

Title: The Academy Club (Your local trans-universe hole in the wall)
Characters:  Mustang, Zuko
Rating: G
Summary: Reeling from his own setback, Roy takes the time to advise a strange golden-eyed kid in a bar...
Notes: I've always liked "So and so" meet in a bar fandom crossovers. They're fun writing exercises.  And since sharkflip  asked for fail!ko and fail-Roy, well...

( The enlisted men always said there was something a little strange about The Acdemy Club... )

Title: Growing Up Lemur
Summery: Momo's early life, as he sees it.
Notes: Done for ATLA Land's past/future contest. I emailed the mod to see if it was okay to post, and got nothing. Voting has closed as of a week ago, tomorrow, so I hope it's okay. ;D This fic is a little different than the one submitted for the contest, because I had to pair down the word count to submit. This is the full version.

Quote: That’s just the way things go. We meet people, get to know them and then they get up and leave us behind. – Takayuki Ikkaku, Arisa Hosaka and Toshihiro Kawabata, Animal Crossing: Wild World, 2005
Summary: “Aang, I don’t think you should touch that thing.”
“Don’t worry, Hakoda. It’s an Air Nomad relic. What’s the worst that could happen?”
Notes: Written for one of the contests in ATLAland. We had to pick a random quote and write a oneshot about it. Just a head's up: This plot is... kinda strange. Even for me. hehe.

( Aang came back into awareness slowly. Everything hurt. )

This is the first out of 2 Avatar/Pern Xover's I have. The second should be posted sometime tomorrow. (Damn you, headache!!!)

Title: Queen Flight
Rating: NC-17
Warning: Sokka/Zuko slash
Summary: Only someone like Jouneyman Sokka could name his gold fire lizard "Goldie" and she's about to rise to mate for the first time.
Notes: Please be aware that male dragonriders in Pern shorten their names and put apostrophies in. So Zuko = Z'ko and Aang becomes...er.. A'ang.
