Why?
Why can’t anything ever be right for him? It’s not fair.
Nico hid his face in the collar of his aviator jacket, feeling the shameful blush heat his deathly pale cheeks.
It’s wrong – he’s wrong. An abomination, a disgrace to the whole di Angelo family line.
He didn’t choose to feel this way – did he?
The son of Hades pulled at his hair as conflicting thoughts tore through his already broken mind. He should be able to control it, stop all these filthy thoughts with a firm command. The way he feels…

You left us
You closed the door
You blocked out the light
You weren't with us anymore
For so long it was just us three
Then mom grew ill
She let go of my my hand
Sickness won over will
We cried that night
There was sorrow and then some
The funeral was the next day
You didn't even come
We trained so hard
To once more see her face
You are not welcome here
You're a disgrace
Your intentions may have been pure
But you actions are riddled with guilt
You drove a knife through our family
Pushing down hard on the hilt
I guess I don't hate you
But my fury is real
And nothing can break
This heart of steel
You helped us though
You were all that

"-...awwfff?" A faint voice, cutting through the murkiness of sleep.
"Hnngh..." She could hardly move, her limbs like lead. Everything ached. Her entire body was a lump of numbed, sore flesh coated in a metal suit. The floor was cold against her cheek.
"Toph!" That voice - his voice. It was near, but muffled by the daze she was lost in. In this cloud of pain and confusion, his voice was waking her up.
Sprawled on her side, she meagerly grasped her deadened fingertips at the hard floor. Nothing. No pulse of the earth. This was disconcerting.
"Toph," he grunted out again, his voice forced a
He loved her.
Korra's breath caught in her throat. The three words she'd been dying and dreading to hear, because spirits knew she loved him too. And they couldn't have come at a worse time.
So she'd pushed them away, pushed him away, because she couldn't deal with it. She couldn't deal with just about anything in her current state- not when everything she'd ever known had been stripped from her.
And then Aang showed up, and Roku and Kyoshi and Kuruk and Yangchen and... well, everyone else. And she connected. She felt it, the rush of power flowing back into her like a plug to a socket. She felt rather than saw the white hot energy that ill
"Don't worry Korra," Bolin said, gently squeezing the young Avatar's shoulders. "There was nothing you could have done."
"I should have been there Bolin! I should have stopped it! I'm the Avatar for Spirits sake," Korra replied, spinning around to face him, anguish in her eyes.
"Korra..."
"No. It was my fault. I should have been there, instead of being on a stupid date."
Feeling his eyes mist over, Bolin turned his head away from the Avatar's gaze and focussed it onto the floor. "I'm sorry you thought it was a waste of your time Avatar," He mumbled, scuffing his feet as he made his way away from her.

Chapter One "The Train Tracks"
Vic yawned loud, covering his mouth with his hand. If he didn't have to keep his eyes on the road he might have run over a pedestrian with how tired he was at the moment. A few of them hesitated to cross the streets when they saw the car moving from side to side.
"Gosh, Broly really takes it out of me." Vic's poor voice added to his comment, as it was barely there and came across rather squeaky.
The light in the sky was a darkish blue, like it was carpeted over the sun this time of night. Finally, Vic was able to pull in to his driveway.
A huge smile was on his fiancee's face, eager

+++Chapter 1: A basic overview of Alchemy+++
1.0 Introduction
This textbook is not meant to be an exhaustive reference for alchemy.

The study of alchemy dates back to ancient times, and
