Summary
There were two kinds of crew, Zuko learned quickly. Those who were indifferent to him, and those who seemed to be very aware of who he was.
It was best to stick around the first kind, the men and women Captain Jee brought aboard. They were gruff, and kept to themselves, and played incomprehensible games with coin and dice.
Sometimes, if Zuko hung around long enough and was very quiet, he would get to watch them clean, and prepare to go fishing, and do all the things needed to keep a ship running. One of them, a large man with a scar across his nose, even showed Zuko how to tie knots, proper knots, the kind that lashed the ship together and all over.
In which nothing good ever comes easy.

Summary
Your girls crowd around you, their eyes full of belated horror. We almost lost you, they say with clutching arms, desperate embraces. Thank Koshi, thank Koshi.
You stretch a hand out of this pile, and you look steadily at him until he takes it. He looks wrecked. He looks sorry. He looks nothing like the boy who set fire to your home.

Summary
Zuko choked on a sob and, impossibly, Lu Ten’s ghost gripped his hand tighter.
“I’m here, baby cousin, I’m here.” Said the ghost of Lu Ten, and Zuko felt warm fingers brush gently across his scalp, carding through Zuko’s sweat-soaked hair.
“M’ sorry that you’re dead,” Zuko wept, pressing his head feverishly into the touch, “I miss you. I miss you so much.”
Featuring a still very much alive Lu Ten, the slow revival of Zuko's self esteem, and how ending a war begins at home.

Summary
Eames doesn’t look at Arthur more than he has to during the briefing with Carter. This is usually the time where Eames would trade jabs with Arthur, poke holes into Arthur’s contingency plans, glance cursorily through Arthur’s notes and then be absolutely breathtakingly brilliant. Eames seems to be happy enough to follow Carter’s lead on this job.
Arthur doesn’t touch his face, but his bruised skin tingles with what Arthur is steadfastly not thinking of as shame. It’s part of the job. A black eye and a spilt lip from where Carter’s ring had caught mid-strike is more cosmetic than crippling.

In which nobody is a damsel in distress.

Summary
“My father, Fire Lord Azulon, is dead.”
Unthinkingly, Lu Ten reached over to grasp his father by the shoulder. At the touch, his father bowed his head, took an audible breath, and raised tearless eyes.
“My brother has assumed the throne in my absence.” Iroh said steadily, “Ready the camp, we march home at once.”
Lu Ten survives. Everything after that is up to him.

Summary
Campbell’s hand clamp against Sam’s chin, jerking Sam’s head forward, all traces of Campbell's smile wiped from his face as his nails dig into Sam’s jaw, close enough that Sam could spit at him if he were feeling particularly suicidal.
You really should be more afraid, Campbell says.
Bite me, Sam replies.

Rocket will tell anyone he cares to tell that he had lured the big guy from his home planet with promises of money, adventure, and excitement.
He will not tell them that he meets Groot as he is being force-fed berries, lying on his stomach because his back hurt too bad to move.
