Summary
«Each child has their own song. A silly but incisive nursery rhyme that you learn as a child and that you never forget.
His is "Azula always lies".
He knows the danger, the evil disposition of his sister: he knows how good she is in reading desires, perceiving weaknesses, manipulating people, and using them as she pleases as puppets.
Yet, also this time he managed to fall in love with her lies. He let himself be deceived by those phrases empty of vigor and full of a certain influence, combined with the omnipresent boredom of surrounding herself with fools. The only obscure in the facts is him, as forever. And she knows what he wants to hear, thus forgetting the centenary song when it is favorable for him and when it is convenient for her. After all, Zuko reflects, this will be the last time.» -

Summary
«Ogni bambino ha la propria cantilena. Una filastrocca sciocca ma incisiva che viene appresa da piccoli e che non si scorda più.
La sua è "Azula mente sempre."
Conosce il pericolo, l'indole malvagia di sua sorella: sa quanto è brava nel leggere i desideri, nello scorgere i punti deboli, nel manipolare le persone e usarle a suo piacere come pupazzetti.
Eppure, anche questa volta è riuscito ad innamorarsi delle sue bugie. Si è lasciato abbindolare da quelle frasi vuote di vigore e colme di una certa influenza, combinata all'onnipresente noia di circondarsi di gente allocca, l'unica persona oscura ai fatti è lui, come sempre. E lei sa cosa lui vuole sentirsi dire, dimenticando così la cantilena centenaria quando per lui è favorevole e quando per lei è conveniente. In fondo, Zuko riflette, questa sarà l'ultima volta.»

Summary
Republic City had always been their dream - Katara's, Aang's, and all their friends - the hope that their cultures could blend together in harmony marking the beginning of their lives in an era of Peace. But for all the good times, there were just as many bad.
And for all the bad times, there were just as many dear.
But the moments Katara could see Aang - not the Spiritual Leader of Republic City, not the Hero of their Era, not the Avatar but her Aang - were the best.
( or, moments from katara's perspective of her relationship with aang )

Summary
After a few agonizingly slow seconds of exhausted, confused pondering, Zuko decided there was only one logical conclusion.
“You’re right," he told the assassins, "I’m here to help you kill the Fire Lord.”
Like a genius.Caldera City is holding a festival to celebrate finally having enough funds to hold a festival! Although Zuko originally deemed himself too busy to go, Sokka managed to cajol him into attending his own party, in a knock-off Blue Spirit disguise for security purposes. Zuko sneaks back into the palace right in time to catch a group of assassins sneaking out. They failed to find the Fire Lord and assume he's reinforcements.
Zuko needs to find who ordered a strike on him before they do something stupid, like order a second one. Obviously, the most reasonable thing to do is join the assassins and hope they don’t figure out who he actually is. Obviously. There’s literally no other option.
Feat. Zuko's only two coping mechanisms (mortal peril and improv theater), the world's most incompetent hit team, and another knock-off Blue Spirit who's determined to prove this "Li" isn't who he says he is.

Summary
Katara felt all the hair on the back of her neck rise when he made eye contact with her. She knew those eyes no matter how much she tried to forget them.
In the past few days, he had found a way to sink to a new low in Katara's eyes. It was one thing for Zuko to create a fake life in a remote Earth Kingdom village, and it was completely another thing to become a common criminal. Katara didn't care what kind of explanation he would come up with.
She had people to heal, and Zuko's drunken, thieving antics would not get in her way. That was easy to say. Even though she wanted to leave him alone, she couldn't.
