    Summary

    It was one of those nights.

    He was in bed, his eyes heavy and closed but the sleep refusing to take him. He blamed the hollow pit in his chest, a constant thing that was so much easier to ignore when his mind was buzzing with purpose and plans and rage. Now? In the middle of the night with nothing to distract himself with?

    It burned.

    It was one of those awful nights he hated the most, so he'd left the door open. Just slightly. Just enough. When he heard the door creak as it was slid open further? He didn't question anything, just let the relief relax the tension from his body and squeezed his eyes shut in his poorly feigned sleep.

    When he looked back on this moment, he would remember that his uncle was usually quieter than this.

    Much quieter.

    The suspicion didn't creep in until the other person was standing directly over him. Whoever it was was breathing heavily in a way that made the hair on the back of his neck stand up. No way this was Uncle.

    He opened his eyes just in time to see the figure lunge at him.

    It wasn't enough time for him to react and dodge the hands grasping at his throat.

    Summary

    “I just wanted to introduce myself. Your uncle had told me his niece had been thinking of applying to work in the gardens, so I thought I would introduce myself.” Fire Lord Zuko was awkwardly rubbing the back of his neck and a slight blush crawled up his cheeks.

    Oh my Spirits, Hana thought. Our Fire Lord is adorable.

    Or,
    5 times the palace staff were protective over their Fire Lord because they all love him to death, and 1 time they had someone else do it.

    Summary

    Missing scene between Iroh and Zuko before Zuko's date in Ba Sing Se.
    (Alternatively, what happened when Iroh did Zukos hair)
    ---
    While he had known hiding in Ba Sing Se would come with challenges, the Prince had expected them to be along the lines of not being recognized, finding the Avatar, and having to deal with his Uncle flirting. Not…this.

    Summary

    Zuko idly mentions that he hasn’t seen Uncle in months-- and leaves out the fact that it’s slowly killing him inside-- and Aang suggests that he does what they’ve all been doing:

    Make up an excuse.

    Zuko is scandalized, because he’s the Firelord and he has to be responsible, but the more he thinks about it, the more he’s sure that he can manage to do great good for his people with a visit to Ba Sing Se. It’s not so much making up an excuse as it is knocking out two pigeon-hawks with one stone. Convenient for everyone.

    Summary

    Zuko wakes up the first time it happens to the smell of burning flesh. He at first thinks it’s just a lingering memory, the vestiges of a nightmare he’s had many times, but then he hears the shouts and clanging of metal that accompanies it.

    The telltale signs of a fight, right outside his door.

    So of course he does the sensible thing and rushes toward the commotion without a second thought, still in his loose bedclothes and bleary-eyed from sleep. He practically falls out of the door, stumbling right into the middle of both the hall and the battle waging within it.

    At this point, Zuko's no stranger to attempts on his life. He can handle it.

     

    Or five times Zuko's friends save him from an assassination attempt, and one time they're almost too late.

But after the initial reunion, Zuko seemed to be continuing to try and apologise to Iroh. How could Iroh make Zuko understand that he loved Zuko unconditionally? Or could Zuko be trying to tell him something else?

    Summary

    Momo is awesome!
    I once thought he was dinner,
    but now he’s my friend.

    Izumi gasped loudly when Sokka finished his haiku. She pulled a startled Momo back under the blankets defensively and said, accusingly, “You were gonna eat Momo?”

    “Only because I was really hungry,” said Sokka.

    “Then starve,” Izumi said seriously. She pulled Druk out of the blankets. “Would you eat Druk?”

    “Of course not! He eats me! Here, listen to this:
    Druk is a baby,
    and yet wow he sure can bite.
    My toes are not snacks.

    “Druk doesn’t bite!” Zuko defended the tiny dragon. Sokka looked pointedly at Zuko’s hands, which were covered in tiny bite marks. Zuko crossed his arms to hide his hands, but Druk decided his crossed arms would make a good sleeping spot and wiggled away from Izumi to lay in Zuko’s arms. As soon as he laid down, he nudged Zuko’s arm up and started nibbling on Zuko’s thumb.


    Or: Suki tells Zuko she's proposing to Sokka, Sokka tells Zuko he's proposing to Suki, and Zuko panics. Featuring baby Druk, four-year-old Izumi, Hakoda and Bato being Tired Dads™, and a whole lot of Gaang-as-family.

    Summary

    In hindsight, it wasn't the epic, novel-worthy life changing field trip she thought it'd be - it was a thousand times better.

    A series of moments that defined Toph and Zuko's friendship is sometimes more meaningful than one grand adventure.
