In the Fire Nation, every future is decided long before it is spoken aloud. [Y/n] grew up inside that certainty, trained not as a warrior or a ruler, but as a strategist shaped to stand beside the next Fire Lord and quietly help guide the course of an empire. However, after his uncle's execution for opposing Fire Lord Ozai, his family is forced into exile, and the boy who once studied Pai Sho across from Crown Prince Zuko vanishes from court life entirely. Zuko, once a frustrated boy who hated losing at games he didn't yet understand, grows into a scarred banished prince searching for his place in a world that rejected him before finally returning to his destined role as Fire Lord. The memory of those childhood matches, of a calm boy who always seemed to see too many moves ahead, fades into something almost unreal. Almost. Almost a decade later, everything changes when their paths collide again. Because some games never truly end. They only wait for the players to return. [Cover art by @AjtaiV9M4iMxtyq on Twitter]

Wyn had spent years running from the life she once lived. Once a warrior, now a healer, she has built a fragile peace for herself among the clans, far away from the mistakes that earned her exile. But when her closest friend disappears near the territory of the mysterious Sky People, Wyn abandons caution and ventures into enemy lands to bring him home. Instead, she finds herself captured. Trapped inside the Skaikru camp as tensions between their people edge closer to war, Wyn discovers that enemies are rarely as simple as she once believed. Some offer kindness where she expected cruelty. Others challenge everything she thinks she knows about loyalty, survival, and peace. And then there is Bellamy Blake. Stubborn, infuriating, and fiercely devoted to protecting his own, Bellamy seems determined to distrust her at every turn. Yet fate keeps throwing them together, forcing both of them to confront the uncomfortable truth that they may have more in common than either is willing to admit. With war looming on the horizon and danger closing in from every side, Wyn must decide whether peace is something worth fighting for, and whether the boy raised among the stars might become impossible to leave behind. |BELLAMY BLAKE X OC | ENEMIES TO LOVERS | SLOWBURN |

Akira had learned long ago that dreams were a pointless thing and wishful thinking a lost cause. The goal of her life had been determined for her by others. To serve and to obey. Long ago she'd given up on the idea of freedom, of ever having the power over herself to be and do whatever she wanted. But then, by some miracle, a chance appeared to her. A surprise heist proved just the distraction she needed. All she intended to do was escape. Not get roped in on a dangerous quest that could become the adventure of a lifetime. But perhaps that was what she needed. Maybe on a ship with a ragtag group of dreamers was exactly where she was meant to end up. Because what else are you to do when your own dream becomes to actually find one? ----- [One Piece (Netflix) - Season 1+] [Canon character (mystery) / OC] [S2 started: 13/03/26] [S1 finished: 02/11/23]
