    Summary

    Under the leadership of Fire Lord Iroh, the Fire Nation has made every attempt to restore peace and make amends for the harm they inflicted during the Seventy-Year War. Their newest proposal is a literal proposal: a marriage to unite the Fire Nation and the Water Tribes.

    The Fire Nation offers Prince Zuko’s hand.

    The Water Tribes offer Princess Yue’s.

    Sokka is apparently the only person in the world who has a problem with any of this.

    Summary

    Then—one feed catches his eye. He pauses, his chair stops its lazy spin.

    He rewinds and hits play, curiosity keeping his eyes on the screen.

    It’s a private suite—pristine, impersonal. Two men inside. The one with long, ink-black hair looks tense, arms crossed tight. The other is taller, muscular, hair a copper red—vivid even in grainy night vision. They stand at opposite ends of the bed, a hush in their posture, faces set. He watches for a moment, trying to place them, but they’re just another couple, aren’t they?

    He scrolls the timeline, flicking to 2x speed—just in time to see the atmosphere between them combust. Sudden movement, a flurry of limbs.

    “Holy fuck,” the tech mutters, slowing the playback, squinting at the faces. He sees the redhead’s profile in a flash, jaw sharp, eyes dark.

    The way he moves is familiar. It claws at the back of his memory.

    He pulls up a browser, fingers flying over keys. A few clicks, a couple image searches. There’s no mistaking the match.

    --
    Illumi is comfortable exploring his sexuality—conveniently, it doubles as his work. But mixing business with pleasure comes with its drawbacks—some so catastrophic they border on life-altering humiliation.

    Summary

    If Matsukawa's crush on the pink haired tattoo and piercing artist wasn't obvious enough from his inability to hold more than a sentence conversation with the man, then surely getting his fifth piercing is a sign of growing desperation.

Matsukawa's willing to risk pretend dating. Besides, he's running out of places on his ears and face to pierce and he really doesn't want to go lower.

    Summary

    “Tadashi, it’s a bad idea. Oh my god, this is such a bad idea.” At the conviction in Yachi's words, Yamaguchi throws his hands up. Yachi sees the offence written all over his face and backtracks. “I’m sorry! It’s just, you’ve literally told me that you think he’s attractive—"

    “He is!” Yamaguchi fails to see the issue here, still reeling from her unexpected disapproval. He kind of thought Yachi would be on board, or find it funny. But who is he kidding, this is Yachi, of course she’s going to worry. “First of all, I’m his best friend, I’m allowed to admire him! And second, I was drunk when I told you that! In confidence, I might add!”

    “Well, what happens when you fall in love with him for real?”

    Yamaguchi stops breathing for a second. Oh, yeah. That would be an issue.
