One-shot of the 'Hakoda's crew essentially adopts a very unhappy Zuko' variety that I think was first done on this site by Muffinlance in their fic 'Salvage' (which you should absolutely check out if you like this dynamic!).
Essentially what if Zuko had somehow been taken prisoner by an earth kingdom ship, who then all succumb to an Earth kingdom specific plague, leaving only one sole survivor on the ship by the time Hakoda and his crew pass the ghostly vessel. Also kind of inspired by that opening shot of Pirates of the Caribbean and the scene where Huck and Jim explore the smuggler's ship as it is falling apart.

Thoughts that are mutual between cats and their people:
Yeah you're cute when you sleep but you didn't let me sleep either so I'm going to annoy you now because I'm bored. Hahah get poked, sleepy idiot.
How do you not comprehend this when I am literally staring at you. Like I understand that your brain can't understand things this nuanced but come on, how do you not get this.
I don't know if you know that what I am currently doing is an expression of affection, but that won't stop me. Knowing that I showed you that I love you is enough.
I heard a crinkly material and the sound of you chewing so I have to know what's in your mouth RIGHT FUCKING NOW.
I can't communicate with you and you can't communicate with me, so I'm just copying the tone of the sound you're making in hopes that you understand that I try.
You are doing activities beyond my comprehension, and I find this fascinating. I will never understand what the fuck you are trying to achieve here, but I am intrigued nonetheless.
Hey are you ok, you haven't done your weird thing in a while. Yeah I don't get why you do that but I know you do that when you're ok.
the downside to harassing a cat constantly is that you run out of ways to bother them. so sure she's "well socialized" but how am i supposed to get revenge when she is being SO so annoying?
Absolutely unhinged that Shawn Bradley was once fined $10,000 by the NBA for refusing to attend a team meeting at a strip club.
Like... The sexual repression of the Mormon Church is extremely unhealthy and often downright abusive, but having business meetings at a strip club and fining someone $10,000 for not attending??
Absolutely unhinged. He should have been able to take legal action, not for religious reasons but for sexual harassment or some shit. I will never get over this.
