Summary
He and Stanley are trying this new thing in the wake of the loop ending called being honest with each other. Sometimes uncomfortably so. He knows his brother was a drug mule for a time; Stanley knows he lied repeatedly to his only real friend for over a year. It’s shockingly refreshing, actually, to be so open. Every day, Stanford finds himself trusting what Stanley says just a little easier, drops the armor he’s constructed just a little more. He feels lighter than he has in years.
But he doesn’t tell Stanley about missing Bill.
(a follow-up to Déjà Vu that explores the painful journey of working through the trauma of an abusive relationship, ten years of homelessness and poor self-esteem, and what exactly comes after you break out of a timeloop)

Summary
In 1982—before a betrayal could be revealed and a postcard could be sent—a mysterious, otherworldly virus tore the country apart and turned people into mindless monsters. Four years later, in the wreckage left behind, Stanley Pines heads to Gravity Falls, Oregon to find out what happened to his brother. Miraculously, Ford is still alive, living alone in the town that started it all, and he's developed a cure: he just needs Stan's help getting it across the country.
But old wounds keep surfacing, and Ford seems to know more about the virus than he's willing to share.
(Or, the Canon Divergent AU where the zombie apocalypse happens before Ford sends Stan the postcard.)

Summary
Ursa adored the boy. Iroh doted on him. Azulon would coo at the child when he thought others weren’t watching. Even Lu Ten, who often declared the baby boring, would play with Zuko near the turtleduck pond. No, it seemed Ozai was the only one who saw what a disappointment his son was.
No matter. His problem would be dealt with by morning.
A Water Tribe Zuko AU.

Summary
He thought he was so much, Zuko thinks, his eyes never leaving the tapestry. He thought he would be remembered for something great.
“When Fire Lord Sozin started the war,” Zuko says, voice surprisingly firm, “he destroyed every piece of history that came before him. He rebuilt the Fire Nation under his image, and by doing that, he rebuilt what qualified as truth. He erased everything he considered weak, everything that could be interpreted as a wrongdoing or a failure. It didn’t fit with his narrative of our country. He thought that by destroying the shame of the past, he’d guarantee the glory of the future. And he was wrong.” Zuko takes a deep breath. “I don’t want to make the same mistake as him.”
Or, what it means to make history. Featuring Toph's enthusiasm for destroying property, Aang being allowed to have negative emotions, and Zuko figuring out life.

Summary
After a few agonizingly slow seconds of exhausted, confused pondering, Zuko decided there was only one logical conclusion.
“You’re right," he told the assassins, "I’m here to help you kill the Fire Lord.”
Like a genius.Caldera City is holding a festival to celebrate finally having enough funds to hold a festival! Although Zuko originally deemed himself too busy to go, Sokka managed to cajol him into attending his own party, in a knock-off Blue Spirit disguise for security purposes. Zuko sneaks back into the palace right in time to catch a group of assassins sneaking out. They failed to find the Fire Lord and assume he's reinforcements.
Zuko needs to find who ordered a strike on him before they do something stupid, like order a second one. Obviously, the most reasonable thing to do is join the assassins and hope they don’t figure out who he actually is. Obviously. There’s literally no other option.
Feat. Zuko's only two coping mechanisms (mortal peril and improv theater), the world's most incompetent hit team, and another knock-off Blue Spirit who's determined to prove this "Li" isn't who he says he is.
