    Summary

    “So, to put this together,” Toph says to Aang in a highly-measured tone that she didn’t know she even had the capacity for. “You were sparring, you had Zuko on the ground, and you held flames close to his, you know, scarred face?”

    Summary

    When Zuko dashes into the sitting room, it is with the same wide-eyed panic that he ran from Azula’s smoking hands when he was a child. Iroh bites down on a smile. Zuko looks the same, even now, a decade later with a scar blossomed over one side of his face, green and brown robes replacing the solitary reds of his childhood. His hair is puffed up around his face. He looks like a very frightened, very windswept turtle-dove.

    Zuko dives behind Iroh just as Aang breezes to a stop in the doorway.

     

    Five times Zuko hid behind Iroh, plus one time Zuko stood proudly in front of him.

    Summary

    At first, Sokka dismisses it.

    He notices, they all do, that Katara feeds Zuko less. A lot less. He notices that Zuko’s portions are often burnt and lacking any care, so even the little bit he does get is barely salvageable.

    Sokka notices, but he doesn’t care.

    (In which Fire Benders need to eat twice as much because they create their own fire. Based off Chapter 17 of "The One Where Zuko's Hair Matches Sokka's and Other Tales")

    Summary

    Zuko is steadfastly, unflinchingly, resolutely, determined to be a Firelord incomparable to the ones before him. To his great-grandfather. To his grandfather. To his father. Zuko will not be like them; not in name, not in mind, and not in spirit. Zuko will pave his own way by the blood of his hands and the skin of his teeth, he will start the change that the Fire Nation needs in order to bring true peace to the nations.

    He should have known it had to start with the children; it always does.
