Summary
Sokka’s expression turns cloudy.
“When?”
He’s being altogether too nice about this. It’s making Zuko feel vulnerable. He makes sure the next thing he says is a little colder.
“Well, I don’t… he didn’t succeed. And I don’t really know about the first time."
Sokka’s eyes get harder. There it is. The fight he’s looking for. Hopefully Sokka will tell him off for his tone and then give it up. and then Zuko can spend a few hours pacing around with adrenaline and memories before he’s finally able to get any sleep.
“When?”
And, well, that’s not the response he expected.
(A nighttime conversation.)

Summary
Zuko had died more times than most other living people, which was to say that he had done it before. Most of the time it hadn’t been on purpose, of course, but that didn’t stop it from happening over and over again. He couldn’t explain to you why, but it seemed he just wasn’t made to die like everyone else.
In which Zuko dies seven times but can’t seem to stay dead

Summary
Zuko doesn't exactly know what came over him when he reached out to stop a hit that was never going to come, because Hakoda is someone who loves his children, and Sokka was never in any danger. One way or another, it happens, and that's all that matters.
"Zuko, may I talk with you?"
"Of course, sir."

Summary
[ There’s an intake of breath, like Zuko is going to say something, but it stays quiet between them. He's gathering the courage to say something, and Sokka is going to try and be patient, even though he doesn’t have a lot of practice in it.
"I think my father is abusive."
And Sokka almost laughs at that, just out of sheer misery.]
Things aren't the same after their little fieldtrip to the Boiling Rock. Sokka tries to navigate.

Summary
Zuko learns from a young age that touch can be one of the most dangerous things in someone’s life.
He learns mostly from father and his heavy hands, he also learns from Azula and her bony fingers.
He shies away from touch, he knows better than to let himself be so open again.
Uncle does his best, he tries and tries and tries but Zuko still can't let himself be that open again.
Too bad Toph is determined to domesticade their newest firebending addition.
or: Zuko's love language is based on touch and trust, Ozai takes away from him, Iroh intermediates his recovery and Toph gives it back.
