    Summary

    Zuko and the Gaang take a quick trip to town to gather the supplies they desperately need. Get in, shop, get out. Easy right? Except, of course, if you're really bad at laying low - or at not showing people your super secret air-bending tattoos.
    Great. It seems like this time it's Zuko's turn to carry the braincell, and prevent Aang from being taken to the Fire Nation's newest cult leader.

    Summary

    For a hundred years, war and devastation consumed the world. Aang was one of only people left to remember that it ever used to be different. To remember that there was a time when sixteen year old boys weren’t dressed in armor and sent to commit acts of violence, and twelve year old kids weren’t meant to stop them. To remember having friends in the Fire Nation. To remembers walking through Caldera City with Kuzon, choking on Fire Flakes, and watching street performers.

    So now that Zuko was here asking for redemption...well, being friends sounded better than being enemies.

    Maybe their friendship was destined to be. Maybe together they could bring back some of what was lost.

    (AKA, After Zuko joins the Gaang, Aang gets to know him and they become friends).

    Summary

    Toph will happily admit that she genuinely, honestly, likes Zuko. She has told her friends this repeatedly. She thinks Aang is starting to get it, but that’s because he’s realized Zuko is probably one of the only firebenders that won’t try to kill him on sight.

    She would never admit it, but she sees herself in the way that Katara and Zuko argue, in the way Zuko never seems to fully understand what Sokka is trying to say, and in the way even now she still feels her temper flare with Aang. It reminds her, weirdly, a lot of herself in the early days of their little adventure, where she was still trying to find her footing.

    (A look into Toph and Zuko’s friendship between The Western Air Temple and Sozin’s Comet.)

    Summary

    “But you just said honor is about doing what’s right. You must have known that wasn’t right,” Sokka presses.

    There’s a long moment of silence. Then, “I knew it didn’t feel right. But I always told myself that if I knew the first thing about honor, I would still be home.”

    “I don’t understand."

    “I didn’t, either,” Zuko sighs.

     

    ~

     

    Of course Sokka has seen the scar. It’s kind of hard to miss.

    …It just hadn’t occurred to him that it meant anything.

    Summary

    Oh Merciful Agni, please no.
    Dreading the answer, Zuko bent forwards and shifted one of his whiskers to press against the Chief of the Sun Warriors forehead, projecting his question as much as he could.
    Which false Fire Lord is on the throne?
    Chimalli blinked, either at the question itself or the method of talking.
    “False Fire Lord Ozai. He ascended to the throne three years ago, at the passing of his father.”
    Zuko felt very cold, dread pooling in his chest, chilling his inner fire.

     

    or: Zuko and Gaang are sent back in time but they're not in the bodies of their younger selves, but in ones completely different then what they are used to.

    If not updated in a while, don't panic.

    Fire Prince Zuko is meditating with his eyes closed on the floor of the Western Air Temple, and no one is attacking him, or even trying to, and it’s weird. Sokka will admit that even if no one else will.

    Or,

    Sokka makes some discoveries after Zuko joins the Gaang. Perhaps the Fire Prince has more honor than anyone had realized.

    AU where Zuko realises early into his banishment that Ozai is an abusive bastard who sent him on a wild goose chase. Iroh turns their decommissioned warship into a floating tea shop, and Zuko settles down as a tea server onboard the Jasmine Dragon.

    And then, years later, the Avatar emerges from the iceberg.

    And then Aang decides that he wants Zuko, the first good firebender he’s met this century, to be his firebending teacher - even though Zuko wants nothing to do with him.

    “Blessed Spirit, we thank you for the gift of this child’s life. We are forever in your debt.” The whole village is kneeling now, even the tiniest toddlers flopped down on their stomachs doing their best approximation of a bow. “Please, won’t you give us a name to call you? We would like to properly express our gratitude.”

    Oh.

    Well shit.

    (Where Zuko saves a little Earth Kingdom girl from drowning, the villagers think he's a Spirit, build him a shrine, and long story short, a fake story about the Blue Spirit who dances with dragons suddenly becomes very real.)

    Agnes Tachyon asks a lot of questions she already knows the answers to. It's one of her more irritating habits.

    In an abandoned classroom that technically belongs to neither of them, over coffee that one of them shouldn't be drinking, she decides to ask a few more. Manhattan Cafe, for her part, would very much like to return to her notes.

    However, today, Tachyon has a new question that is way different than she usually asks.

    Work Summary:

    Agnes Tachyon asks a lot of questions she already knows the answers to. It's one of her more irritating habits.

    In an abandoned classroom that technically belongs to neither of them, over coffee that one of them shouldn't be drinking, she decides to ask a few more. Manhattan Cafe, for her part, would very much like to return to her notes.

    However, today, Tachyon has a new question that is way different than she usually asks.

    Summary

    Dantsu is quite the interesting one, in that respect. If she were merely helpful or merely kind to everyone, that would simply make her one of a relatively marginal, yet numerically plentiful amount of good samaritans of society, yet there’s something much stronger in what she offers, Tachyon thinks. The closest comparator one might have is in the sorts of stories her maids would read her as a child, of honorable knights and grandiose protagonistic virtues, heroes through and through.

    And yet, she believes herself to be anything but. Fascinating.

    Abstract: Talus fractures are known to be a challenge for even experienced surgeons and practitioners, so much so that some may choose not to treat them at all. In this observational study, a young umamusume burdened by a most unfortunate fracture, with the aid of a blinding sun, learns how to try anyways.
