A Chymical Wedding
by pvsm
A “chemical wedding.” It is the union of two opposite forces—the sun and moon, heat and cold, loneliness and companionship.

Is my cooking that bad??? (No Katara it isn't, Zuko's mind and body are just always at war with each other I guess)
by GETMEOUTOFHEREE
Zuko's brain recognizes that he's not longer in immediate danger with the Gaang (except Katara, shiver me timbers), so now he gets to actually process everything that had happened since Ba Sing Se, YAY. Which also means, that now he's obviously going to have a bodily reaction to such processing.

Swallowing Pride
by Proddle

Les paradigmes s'effacent, les masques tombent (Paradigm Shift)
by Anonymous
The knifing twist in Max's abdomen was blindingly, swelteringly hot, focused down into a sharp point that throbbed in his lower abdomen, around the hipbone.

About Sick Fic
A character comes down with something — flu, fever, a cold they insist is nothing — and someone else takes care of them. The illness is usually minor; the caretaking is the entire point, complete with soup, blanket forts, and walls lowered by a temperature of 102.
Sickness grants characters permission to be needy and caretakers permission to hover, letting buried tenderness surface under the alibi of a fever.
Common scenarios: A stubborn captain collapsing at practice and waking up to find their rival made congee, or a flu passing through a shared apartment one roommate at a time.
