A Lesson of Her Own Making by chasingfigments for MuffinLance
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender
22 Feb 2021
Tags
Summary
Katara steals four more lessons that week. Four more boys around her age who know the forms but don’t know the desperation of a true fight. They are bad at anticipating her movements and her decisions because Katara will never have the luxury of learning the way they did. She fights dirty, not fair, and their pride doesn’t let them understand that they’re in over their heads until it’s too late.
They leave her scrapes and bruises and cuts that fuel her healing sessions. When those are done, she goes back to their suite and resumes putting together a combat bending style from stolen pieces and her experience in the wider world.

Summary
“If Arthur, maker of knights, can train a lowborn man to your satisfaction and prove we can strengthen our defenses from among our own, you will release me from this marriage agreement.”
To save Morgana from a loveless political marriage, Arthur has three months to turn a peasant into a knight. The only problem? That peasant is Merlin.
Otherwise known as She's All That but utter medieval nonsense.

Summary
Neville's shoulders hunch further. It's not just his hands that are shaking now; his entire body trembles.
It's not fair. And, when push comes to shove, Harry always has been a Gryffindor through and through.
(AKA sometimes it's easier to be compartmentalize your own abuse than someone else's; life isn't fair to Harry but that doesn't mean he'll allow life to be unfair to his friends)

"Neville shrinks under the wrath; Harry expands."
"This is a battle he cannot win; but this is a loss he will not lose."
Good portrayal of Harry being both furious and unflinchingly kind -

Summary
The revelation that Aziraphale might have been in love with him for thousands of years is surprising. The fact that literal books have been written on the subject comes as even more of a shock.

Summary
It's like having a curtain pulled back on something he wasn't expecting to see. A surprise punch-and-judy at an up-scale restaurant, a lobster thermidor when he's ordered an ale.
Crowley's gleefully trying to wrap his head around the fact that Aziraphale is speaking Polari. Because of course he is.
Or: The Patron Saint of London's LGBT Community is real, and he lives in Soho.

“Anyway, what’s in my kitchen that needs kid proofed? I keep the liquor in the high cabinets, where the kids won’t be able to reach,” Stan says. “Plus, the gun in the breadbox isn’t even loaded. Probably. I think.”
Soos sighs. “I have my work cut out for me.”
Or, in which Stan's niece and nephew are coming, and it's up to Wendy and Soos to fix Stan's life and habits.

I love everything about this. Every other fic in this series is also amazing, but this one in particular is just, AH, so good! Love everyone bullying Stan for (mostly) his own good, and Stan pretending that he's not easily pushed around by the kids in his life. Also, people can sometimes give Soos a weird voice in fan fic, but this is just such a good Soos.

Summary
“What are you doing here?” Aziraphale asked, dodging out of the way of a misplaced kick as one of the tavern-goers fell from a chair.
Crowley gestured broadly at the crowd below him, where the man in red was now wrestling the owner of the tavern to the ground.
“Making my quota. Anyway, a spot of violence does a demon good."

Summary
Stan leaves his brother's house behind after his hopes of reconciliation are dashed again. He's still deciding what to do next when two kids show up, asking to come along to wherever he's going. As far as Stan knows, he's the best shot they have of escaping whatever they're running from. But who's helping who?
(I’ll be trying to do at least one illustration per chapter.)

Summary
Mabel doesn't like the world she lives in. It's harsh and cold and mean and angry and everything she tries so hard not to be. Years later, she still can't stop thinking about Mabeland, but she can't talk about it, until Dipper points out the way reality seems to bend to her whims.
It's a difficult conversation, but one they needed to have a long time ago.
