Summary
And then man came, climbing into the mountains with their iron weapons and their fire and snares. The wolves fought back and drove the men back to the valleys below. Fearful they would return, the pack leader, a wolf known as Vesemir went to the witch in the woods and struck a deal. If she would cast a spell over the wood, protecting it from the evil hearts of men, the wolves would do her hunting for her.
The deal was struck but to Vesemir, she gave a warning. One day, yellow flowers would bloom under the Elder Tree and when it did, one of his sons would be lost to the snowdrift.
He thought nothing of this since flowers couldn't bloom when it snowed, not this high in the mountains. His sons would be safe. Their home too.
Or so the old wolf had thought.- Language:

Summary
Instead of capturing the Avatar as his punishment for refusing to fight his father in Agni Kai, Zuko is given another impossible task: capturing the princess of the mermaids. The only problem is that no one’s seen a mermaid. Most weathered sailors aren’t even sure they exist, and factual historical documents on the subject are nonexistent. Zuko is nothing if not persistent, but after six years he’s willing to try any desperate, half-baked plan he can come up with.
The second problem is that he wasn’t expecting to fall in love with the mermaid after the latest desperate, half-baked plan actually worked.

Summary
Look, it fucking - it wasn't supposed to go like this, alright?
The contract had said it was a chort, and even though Lambert knew - he fucking knew - that humans couldn't be trusted to know a griffin from a lubberkin even if it was biting them in the ass and they had a fucking bestiary in their fucking hands…
He'd certainly paid the price for it now though, hadn't he? All he wanted to do now was collect what he was owed and find a healer. But of course things can't even be that simple - not for him - not when some bard goes and destroys his payment in a tavern brawl. Now instead of the supplies he needed, the village has saddled him with the same bard as a guide. Things can't possibly get any worse, right?
Right?
