Summary
“I threw away everything for you, Nikolovich,” Anton said slowly. “And you will not live to make me regret it.”
Patience. Humbleness. Something to lose. They're the three things Ravkan Crown Prince and Grisha prodigy Artemiy Lantsov lacks. Doted on by his parents and adored by his people, Artemiy has never had a want for anything. But when his decision to leave the walls of the Twin Palaces lands him in the heartland of his enemy, Artemiy finds himself in the middle of a brewing conflict that may well destroy everything his parents have worked so hard to build.
[Set nineteen years after the events of Crooked Kingdom, this work is a very self-indulgent exploration of the Grishaverse after the fact, with plenty of inspiration taken from actual nineteenth-century history. This is the first of a series. Enjoy!][PENDING KOS/ROW-COMPLIANT REWRITE.]

To Open Every Door to Night, To Meet Each Rising Sun by Erisenyo
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender

Summary
[In rare moments of whimsy and indulgence—usually accompanied by cake—Azula would sometimes think of herself as one part of a triangle. Half of a paired dao. The northern point of a compass, even, always guiding straight and true.
But she thinks, as she contemplates the single cowering candleflame and the stifling darkness, that perhaps she’s been a lone flame all along.
No matter, though. Zuzu claims to have changed. Maybe Azula will change, too. Maybe she will forge herself into a spear, instead, striking straight and true. Or an arrow in the night. A knife in the dark.
Her eyes flick up to where Zuko just disappeared from her sight, and she snaps, sharp, precise, and feels lightning-tinged fire arc off her fingertips.
Or in the back.]
Or,
Six years after the war, Azula has finally reached her age of majority and is about to be crowned Zuko’s heir. If only Sokka could shake the feeling that she’s plotting something…
If only Azula could keep Water Tribe from bumbling into her plots.

Bookmarker's Notes
❤️This was positively marvelous. POV alternates between Sokka and Azula, and I'm so happy I gave this a shot (I'd never considered being interested in Azula's POV) because DAMN, I'd have missed out on so much if I'd just scrolled on by. This was such a fast read, and I'm tempted to just up and read it all over again.
The story starts with Sokka arriving a week early for a coronation, dreadfully upset by an event that is only slowly revealed to the reader (and not at all to Zuko). Meanwhile, Azula is "always planning something" (as Zuko fondly says) and all of it looks nefarious. So Sokka is licking his wounds, devastated, insecure, feels like his life has fallen apart around him, and terribly TERRIBLY suspicious of whatever Azula's up to while Zuko's placid trust in her just grates on him. (The existing Zukka relationship is healthy and happy, though, no worries about that, they're so sweet together.) Meanwhile the entire Fire Nation has codes of conduct and morals and subtext that Sokka is struggling to understand, because his life may depend on it. All the while he gets disorientingly occasionally tutored by Azula in between bouts of being scorned and intimidated. Mixed messages, for sure.
So you get loads of angst, cultural differences, intrigue, palace politics, kidnapping, betrayals and alliances. The whole works.
***
I found this story because of this fantastic fanart for a short, funny sequel called Love is in the Hair, which you absolutely must read after this. And check out the art, it's charming. (I actually kept it open while I was reading, just for the visuals!)

Summary
Danger. Help. Please.
It hit him all at once.
What began as a gentle prodding turned into a rushing tidal wave, a tsunami of thought and picture and emotion. His knees felt weak with the strength of it and Luke felt himself wobble, felt hands grasp his arm and shoulders as he was guided down, but reality fell away from him as images, visions, started flashing like a holo on the inside of his eyelids--
Sitting in the dark, voices and blaster shots coming from the distance but getting closer and closer. Fear, paralyzing fear. Afraid and alone in the dark for so long--
And then, light.

Summary
Yuuri Katsuki has always been a little weird, and he’s always had obscenely terrible taste in men. Victor Nikiforov is a former superspy on the run from his handlers, longing for love despite the price on his head. Rose-coloured glasses still count if the rose tint comes from all the blood, right?
~“Sorry about that,” Victor says with a sheepish grin, sliding into his seat. “I had to kill a guy outside, it took forever.” He dabs at some sweat that's collected on his brow; Yuuri crosses his legs and forces out a chuckle that he hopes sounds casual.
“Oh, sure,” he retorts, taking a sip of his drink. “Gotta make sure they don’t get back up, right?”
Victor’s grin widens, and he runs his tongue across his top teeth. “Exactly.”- Language:
