Ishida's dying, Ichigo wants to save him and that opens a can of worms he wasn't prepared for. Commision for the most wonderful Axelkin. Rated M for themes, not for any overt sexy times. And Ishida doesn't die. I feel like I have to add that.

Later, Katara can see how it all fell apart. Azula in her cell, growing roses; Zuko surrounded by enemies, slowly dying; their friends in the Earth Kingdom, safely escaping. And herself at the centre of it, saving lives and breaking promises. Set after finale, eventual Zutara.

"It's amazing, sometimes, the things that humans can do". Natsume falls slowly and gently, starts holding out hope for a happy future. But he isn't the only one with special powers, and sometimes precious people get hurt. Natsume/Tanuma.
