    Summary

    A realization that’s been lapping at the edges of Sokka’s mind all night finally crashes over him in a wave. “You really hate yourself,” he says slowly, as the cold understanding sinks in.

    Zuko’s glare could melt glaciers. “You wouldn’t, if you’d done all the things I’ve done?” he says, which would be fair, except — it’s not just about the things Zuko’s done, is it? It’s also about the things he hasn’t. Zuko hates himself for things that are his fault, and things that aren’t. For who he is, and who he hasn’t managed to be.

    And Sokka can see, with sudden, sharp clarity, that if he were to plot the strength of Zuko’s self-hatred alongside the strength of his bending over time, the two lines would hug in almost perfect synch. Which leaves Sokka with only one question: whether someone’s self-loathing could run so deep and unrelenting that it sustains their bending for the better part of a decade.

    The night before going in search of Sun Warrior ruins, Zuko starts to doubt that hatred is the source of his bending after all. Sokka helps him figure out what it really is.

    Summary

    "I don’t fear The Great Rest. Not in the way humans do. Why fear something that is a part of life? Something we have all been working toward since birth? I have lived a long and beautiful life since My Human found me, and I have no regrets. But I am not without worries. The tears on My Human’s face worry me. The slumping of her posture worries me. I want to get up and go to her. I want to purr until her heart is soothed and her tears dry and her back straightens. But I’m just so tired. Who will do it when I am gone? Who will bring her mice when she has not eaten and who will zoom around the room to remind her to go to bed and who will sit on her lap and purr when she is stressed? How can I leave her behind? "

    Or...
    Post-canon; A loving goodbye and a well-earned rest.
    A series of canon-compliant one-shots, each told from a different point-of-view, each telling a different part of the story, but each with a common theme. Sometimes waiting in the sidelines is just as hard.

    Summary

    "Grimmauld Place is cold. He’d have thought the old house would be stuffy and suffocating with the weather warmed up and every door and window shut tight, but it’s not. Maybe it’s magically controlled, Harry thinks, or some sort of by-product of being stripped by Death Eaters the year before. Or maybe the house just never knew how to be warm. Harry can’t blame it.

     

    He doesn’t really know either."

     

    Harry - and home - after the war.
