Description:

[In another life, Jet sees Uncle Iroh firebend his tea at the dock, and he and Zuko don’t speak again until they’re fighting in an alleyway with Zuko clutching swords that aren’t his. In another life, Zuko watches him get dragged away by the Dai Li and feels justified, and then a surge of rage and shame and fear that he can’t quite place, and then he moves on.

In this life, Jet doesn’t see a thing, and Zuko drop-kicks most of his own pride into the gutter in a fit of customer-service-based despair. In this life, Jet keeps calling Zuko “Li” and slinks around the tea shop in the lower ring where Zuko has started working, like he’s a customer.]

Zuko and Jet find themselves meeting more often than not.

Featuring Zuko's multiple morality crises, Jet's unacknowledged trauma, Iroh's devotion to his nephew, and Aang's unfortunate desire to see the good in people.
