Nora West has a theory: that even once you die and get buried and your body is well below the ground, one way or another your soul will always end up floating back up to surface, to either haunt or plainly just annoy the heck out of people. Yet no matter what, they always come back.
But when Nora and her best friend Joan are found in a tragic accident that takes Joan's life, Nora finds herself not only feeling stranded and weighed with taking the blame for her best friend’s death, but she soon realizes that the same accident that killed her friend didn't just take Nora's brightness out of life, but it also took something even bigger: her eyesight.
In a heartwrenching play between choosing the guilt, truth and all that comes with it, "Where Things Fall Up" does a new take on recovering, and how learning to get "better" isn't always the same as learning to forget.

Torn Heart (Zuko x Reader)
Y/N has been on the adventure of a lifetime traveling with Avatar Aang and their other friends. She knows this is exactly where she needs to be and the side she needs to be on. That is, before a terrible accident separates her from her friends and throws her together with Prince Zuko, the Fire Lords exiled son. Now the two have to rely on each other and Y/N finds herself drawn to Zuko. But the Prince has secrets-and his secrets have secrets-and she'll soon find herself pulled in two directions by a lovesick, torn heart. This is my first x Reader fanfiction so please be kind. Ngl, this is sort of a self-insert that I wrote for my own entertainment, but maybe you'll enjoy it too. It very loosely follows the show starting near the beginning of Book 2, but everyone is in their late teens/early twenties-or they can be whatever age you decide too. Cursing and mild sexual content. I don't own any characters except Y/N and any other minor OCs. Everyone else is from Avatar the Last Airbender which I don't own at all (sadly)Complete
