    Summary

    it had been ages since he was able to let someone else take over the stress of plans and ideas and approval, even if it was being passed onto the exhausted water bender whose focus was almost entirely on her all but stumbling husband, and it reminded him of those few precious months where they were at the Western Air Temple and on Ember Island.

    On the other hand, he couldn't get what that member of The Denied had said to him in the midst of their fight, how it clawed into his chest and chose to settle there.

    "Big talk for someone who sits on a throne built on a century of war!"

    Summary

    Everything burned. His body felt strange, his nerves raw, as if liquid fire was spreading through his veins. Zuko flew into the sky, thoughts fuzzy, rushing to escape the too hot too hot flames that threatened to melt his skin.

    The sour feeling of betrayal clenched his chest, but his mind was too dizzy to remember why. He couldn’t focus on anything, except for the incessant words looping without respite through his brain. —away, run away, run away—

    Summary

    Katara and Toph go to the tea shop and discover Zuko is waiting tables way earlier than in the show. Slower exploration of Zuko's life as a tea server. Also the Dai Li are terrible customers. The Gaang ends up coming to Zuko's aid, but that might make things worse.

    Eventual and slight Zutara feels because I ship it like I'm a playwright for the Ember Island Players. But I also suck at anything remotely romantic so ... you have to squint to see it. And I try to be fair to all canon ships.

    Summary

    After the infamous Agni Kai, Zuko is never sent on a fool's errand to capture the Avatar. Instead, Fire Lord Ozai believes his son to have succumbed to infection from the burn. Little does he know that Iroh smuggled the former prince out on a ship. Unfortunately, that ship is captured by pirates and everyone on it enslaved.

    Years later, King Bumi finds a young firebender on General Fong's military base. The boy is injured, malnourished, and obviously mistreated, forced to fight earthbenders as part of Fong's secret training regimen. Bumi takes issue with this.
