    Summary

    Aang sits up by the fireside late into the night, paging through Zuko’s notebook.  At first he’s only concerned with the wealth of information about the Avatar that Zuko has compiled, hungrily seeking out every scrap of information about Kyoshi’s dustbending, Yangchen’s meditation practices, Kuruk’s spirit lore; Roku’s lighthearted proverbs and sage advice.  He's convinced that the notebook is the key to understanding what it means to become the Avatar.

    But long after he’s memorized every piece of information that Zuko has dug up about the past Avatars, he finds himself still flipping slowly through the pages of the notebook.  The journal is ostensibly about the Avatar and Zuko’s search for him—though why Zuko is chasing him, the journal does not say—but at times, Zuko’s neat, precise columns of practical information will trail off into absent-minded sketches drifting into the margins.

    Summary

    My Grian was sorry too, reads the note pinched between Grian's fingers. His skin feels cold under Grumbot's acid-green glow. What exactly does that say, he wonders, about the other timeline? What did Grumbot do?

    What did he do?

    Or: in another universe, Mumbo wins the mayoral race, Scar founds the world's least underground resistance, Grian vanishes mysteriously, and in search of her missing friend, PearlescentMoon logs into a season 7 that never ended.

    Summary

    Tim is five years old when he drowns in his parents' pool. He dies quietly, waiting for parents who love him, but will never be there, to realise that something is wrong. They never show up, and he sinks into oblivion.

    When he wakes up and claws his way out of the water, the sun has set, and the lights of his house are on. He is cold and wet and his lungs burn.

    But most of all, Tim is alone.

    (If you die and no-one is there to see it, were you ever alive in the first place?)

    Summary

    Blade-Three, also known as Three, is the living weapon of the Watchers. Conditioned to follow orders, it is meant to use its considerable strength, combat abilities, and total loyalty to obliterate the enemies of the Watchers. Of course, the "following orders" part comes first, which is how, when Listener agent Martyn InTheLittleWood comes along with the right command words, he manages to steal it.

    Now, instead of missions that make any sense, Three must navigate as Martyn and his roommate Jimmy attempt to teach it how to be human, or at least enough of a person to be itself. It would help if either Martyn or Jimmy knew how to be human either, and if they weren't falling apart at the seams after the death of an old friend.

    (And of course, there's the matter of Three's original identity, a question no one thinks to ask...)

    Or: in which Evo had a bad end, and five years later, the pieces that were left behind start to accidentally fall back together.
