Summary
When they get into a tight spot being chased by Fire Nation soldiers, Sokka can only come up with a solution that requires one of them to stay behind. Zuko only sighs. There are more honourable ways to die, after all.

Summary
“Every child is a treasure,” the chief says quietly, one hand pressing Zuko’s forehead into his own shoulder as if Zuko is a lot younger than he really is. “I’m so sorry no one has ever told you that before.”
And with that Zuko is crying into the shoulder of a man he hardly knows. A man that has shown him more kindness in the few days they’ve known each other than his own father has in sixteen years.

Summary
Katara and Toph go to the tea shop and discover Zuko is waiting tables way earlier than in the show. Slower exploration of Zuko's life as a tea server. Also the Dai Li are terrible customers. The Gaang ends up coming to Zuko's aid, but that might make things worse.
Eventual and slight Zutara feels because I ship it like I'm a playwright for the Ember Island Players. But I also suck at anything remotely romantic so ... you have to squint to see it. And I try to be fair to all canon ships.

Summary
Everything burned. His body felt strange, his nerves raw, as if liquid fire was spreading through his veins. Zuko flew into the sky, thoughts fuzzy, rushing to escape the too hot too hot flames that threatened to melt his skin.
The sour feeling of betrayal clenched his chest, but his mind was too dizzy to remember why. He couldn’t focus on anything, except for the incessant words looping without respite through his brain. —away, run away, run away—
