"We can't stay. Ukano, I understand how much this position meant to you. I know how important it was. But now… I can't stay in this place. It's not the same not after Tom-Tom., not without him..." -Michi "They weren't there. It's like the city is empty..." -Aang "Zuko, I can help" -Katara What if Michi and Ukano left Omashu out of grief before Aang returned Tom-Tom? Also on AO3!

What if Half-blood was slightly different? Harry less suspicious and rash. Snape more observant. Everyone more forgiving and better at communicating. The Dursleys crueler. HHR . Rated T for later violence and maybe language.
