Summary
“Good evening Uncle,” He starts, and hesitating for a beat, Zuko dips his head in greeting to Ozai, not meeting his eyes, “Good evening, f-father.”
He stumbles slightly on the word, because Zuko had recently stopped associating ‘father’ with Ozai and going back into that habit might actually kill him on the inside.
If Ozai minded the slip, he doesn’t mention it. In fact, he doesn’t pay Zuko much attention, and he’s all the more grateful for it.

Summary
Three years at sea, and unknowingly, Fire Prince Zuko had gained the respect and loyalty of the crew sailing with him.
Three years away from home, and unknowingly, he had begun sowing the seeds of rebellion. A quiet rebellion of millions, waiting and watching, for their true lord to come home.
This is what came before, and what comes after.
------
[And through it all, his nation and his crew would stand with him; from the flames of war to his frustrating refusal to just go to bed.]

Summary
“I heard of him!” An old man shouted from the crowd, “His own father burned and disowned him! He’s that banished prince!”
A woman’s voice whispered, “He said he’s with the Avatar? I don’t believe an ashmaker would ever…”
“Mama, is he here to hurt us?” a child asked their mother.
Blood rushed in Zuko’s good ear. His scar prickled.
This, he thought as he all but fled the scene, This is the price of being Zuko.
This is what I get for being me.

Summary
Palace staff has VERY bad timing... they think that Fire Lord Zuko will kill them all. Zuko doesn't know what is going on.
OR
Palace staff gossips. And it looks like Fire Lord Zuko is worse than Ozai.
