[ON INDEFINITE HIATUS] "Suyin Beifong could tell you from experience what it was like being the child of someone who saved the world." Growing up the children of the team who saved the world (and not to mention the Avatar himself) has its perks. A touch of fame, a pinch of added respect, an automatic "get out of a predicament" card. But it has its downsides, too. People know you only for your parents and what they did--not you. They have an image in their head before they even take the time to get to know you and are flabbergasted when their expectations aren't met. Bumi and Kya, eldest children of the Avatar, Aang, and Katara, the world's most powerful healer, want to do their dad proud, but he isn't around much, and when he does, it's always for their younger brother, Tenzin. Lin and Suyin Beifong, daughters of Toph, the famous earth bender and creator of metal bending, have a lack of rules and too much freedom in their household--not to mention a rocky sisterly relationship. And then there's Izumi, Fire Lord Zuko and Fire Lady Mai's eldest and only daughter, in line for the throne, who has a kind family but wonders about an aunt she's never met--no, not Kiyi--and questions her ability to rule an entire nation one day. Their parents left a legacy behind, and when peril and danger rises on the horizon, it might be time for their children to step into it, unless they can find their own way. ___ UP: Every Monday, Friday. ___ Note: I do not own any of these characters.

Visions of his former life haunt his dreams, while feelings in the present leave Drizzle wondering just where he belongs in this pack. To stay with the wolves that truly care about him means overcoming scars both new and old, and facing fears he never thought imaginable. But there's more to his new family than what's on the outside. The wolves he thought he knew share an adverse past of their own, all the while Drizzle's dreams grow more confusing and sinister by the day. He starts to think the answers to what brought him here are better left in darkness.

Wendell Chestna is the complete package; he's a beautiful prince with riches and has not a fault inside of him. A made-up fantasy because of his royal position, but he is only human. A high title doesn't just produce false assumptions, but it's quite difficult to determine the sincerity of people's kindness. His father's recent death after a long war leaves Wendell in a stressful predicament. Their law dictates the eldest son must claim the throne upon reaching seventeen years of age, which he will turn in the next three months. Making matters even worse, his mother sets an arranged marriage with some nobleman's daughter. This union would grant them an ally in this nation, all at the cost of her hand, but she is not the girl Wendell plans to wed. Instead, he hopes to make a sweet peasant-one who dwells in the poorest village-his lifelong companion, Kana Littleton. Queen Althelia proposes a simple deal. If the lovestruck boy can get a favorable answer before the set time limit, he is free to espouse her over Blanche. These conditions are generous enough; however, will Kana accept him for the right reasons? Is her love a pure, honest emotion from within or only swayed by his status and wealth? Under a foreign boy persona, Wendell will discover if they're truly meant to marry. But as lies start piling up to conceal his double life, whose heart is really being put to the test? Meanwhile, another war thought to have ended is slowly approaching...
