Summary
Back on Air Temple Island, Korra found herself patiently ignoring an unusually long-winded lecture from Tenzin as soon as she stepped off the dock. Something about kidnapping his daughter, apparently. She passed the time by studying the veins on his scalp, which were protruding rather impressively. It always amazed Korra how a man on a vegetarian diet who spent most of his free time meditating could have such high blood pressure. Such were the dangers of having children, she supposed.
Her musings ended abruptly when she realized Tenzin had stopped talking. “Well?” he demanded, implying he had asked a question at some point. It had completely escaped Korra, so clearly the safest course of action was to get defensive and try to deflect.
“I’m sorry, okay? I just want to do some good in this city, but there are all these rules telling me I can’t. Why are all the good jobs on the police force only for benders, anyway?”

Summary
The first time it happened, she dismissed it, assuming she had simply gone mad. The second, third, and fourth times, she did the same. But eventually she started paying attention to the words, and learned things a maddened mind shouldn’t have been able to conjure on its own—information she should have had no way of knowing, delivered straight from cold, stilled lips. By the first time the voices materialized into a tangible shadow for someone else to witness, she had already accepted her own sanity.
It hadn't taken long after that to learn how to tune them out. Dead people hardly make for good conversationalists, after all, and these particular voices had little worth listening to in life either.
Even so, there will be bad days. There will be days when more than just a handful of voices resurface, when their weak, fading moans turn into an overwhelming tide of pain. There will be days the dull ache in her charred arms sharpens, the heat beneath her skin stirring into something hotter, more unbearable. Even those days she has learned to cope with.
Today is not one of those days.
Today is worse.
Or
Arlecchino has a bad day. Furina makes it better.

Summary
Wednesday has spent the majority of her vacation denying her feelings because denying feelings is something she excels at but one letter and a handful of texts are all it takes to change that for her. So she invites Enid to come live at the Addams mansion for the rest of the summer, until the school year begins. To escape what is an inhospitable environment at home and to be welcomed into a family that can and will love her the way she deserves.

Summary
“Let's make them believe that their plan has worked and that we have, I quote, “made out”. And then they will leave us alone”, she nodded, satisfied with her conclusion. “So you want to fake-date me?”, Enid gestured between them. “Correct”, Wednesday deadpanned.
or
Wednesday and Enid are roommates and best friends in Nevermore University and agree to fake-date on their sophomore year to stop Yoko and Bianca from scheming to get them together. Everything starts well, although they do not expect how the events will develop.
