    Summary

    Zuko has always had this instinct to protect his sister. He's hunted the Avatar for three years for this very reason. He has to get back to Azula.

    But what will he do when that same instinct presents itself when he comes face to face with the Avatar? A child, one who needs his protection far more than Azula ever did.

    Summary

    “What do you plan to do now that you have found the Avatar’s bison? Keep him locked in our new apartment? Should I go put on a pot of tea for him?”
     
    -Uncle Iroh, Lake Laogai, Season 2 Episode 17

     

    Zuko unfolded a small, fuzzy green blanket and tossed it over Appa’s head like a hood. “And this is Appa’s favorite blanket, it’s too small for him, obviously, but he really seems to like it and—”

    Appa licked Zuko, knocking off his hat and leaving him dripping. Zuko quickly grabbed his hat and slammed it back on his head but the damage was done—the Avatar had recognized him.

    “I can’t believe it,” Aang breathed, staring at Zuko wide-eyed.

    Zuko stared back, trying to decide if he could make the jump out the window. The drop would be pretty steep, but he really didn’t want to fight off the Avatar in their new apartment with its nice furniture and Uncle’s tea collection in the corner and—

    “Appa found me a firebending teacher!”

    Summary

    Father keeps on telling Zuko that he's acting without honor, but a lot of the time he won't explain what exactly Zuko is doing wrong, and what he should do to be more honorable. So, Zuko decides to do some research and ask around about how he should behave honorably.

    Or: the servants of the Fire Lord's palace develop a soft spot for Zuko, Zuko confuses everyone around him with his particular brand of shout-y, aggressive politeness, and somehow Zuko accidentally ends up leading a revolution.

    Summary

    Azula pushes Zuko off the roof. Things change.

    "She offered her prayers and thanks to the gods, particularly whichever one had decided to take mercy on her brother’s fall. She felt a breeze brush past her bangs, one that sounded like a sigh, and thanked them more fervently. She hesitated, then continued with the request that had been resting heavily upon her heart.

    “Please let Mother keep loving me. Please let Zuko keep loving me,” she whispered, not sure who she was asking anymore.

    She did not bother asking for her father’s love."
