Summary
After the events of War Crimes, Sokka and Zuko have escaped Zhao’s warship and are fleeing across the Earth Kingdom. As well as unfamiliar terrain, they have to navigate their shared trauma, work out where they fit into the war, and their place in each others lives.
Sokka is aware that being friends with the enemy is going to bring complications, but he probably should have guessed that being friends with Zuko in particular, was going to be a bit like dunking your head repeatedly into a bucket of angry Fire Ferrets.
Katara is also grappling with the confusion of befriending an enemy, something that doesn’t prove as difficult as she had expected with the bond of shared, furious grief bridging old wounds. (Learning a new way to look at her bending doesn't hurt either)
Azula, struggling with the Fire Lord’s mistrust, encounters a few nasty surprises and has to make some difficult decisions. Luckily, she is a great deal better at making sensible choices than her brother.
Her father may have made a slight tactical error.

Summary
Sokka is safe, and right where he should have been this whole time. Guilt prods him ceaselessly. His careless, foolish choices chase him. Nestled securely in the welcoming embrace of his sister tribe, he berates himself for missing the ease and comfort he enjoyed as a spurious captive aboard Fire Prince Zuko's ship. His heart is broken by Zuko's betrayal, and he swallows it down, over and over.
Katara and Aang include him in their routine as if he'd never been absent, but Sokka can't find peace. He catches his sister staring at him with anger, confusion, and her own distress. He's not sure he can repair what he's torn.
Prince Zuko thought he knew loneliness and the ache of separation, but that was before he made it horribly worse. His most recent reach for restoration shattered his foundation, and he’s left still banished, still scarred, and still with no clear direction. But now- he’s penniless, loverless, and hunted.
His uncle expresses that he worries Zuko’s recklessness will get them killed, but most days, the Prince can’t muster the means to bother with recklessness. Hungry, and tired, and furious with himself, he trudges forward. Iroh searches for peace, and Zuko searches for an alternate path.

Summary
"Sokka" Zuko spoke, garnering the tribesman's attention.
"Fire Lord Zuko," Sokka said, lowering his gaze to avoid Zuko's eyes, "you look well," Zuko felt so small.
Sokka spoke mechanically, rehearsed, like the conversation was strained and the six words were something he might choke on.
It dawned on him.
Zuko was alone, not even Hakoda was here to defend him from the carnivorous harpies, it was just him. His hands shook, lips trembled, but he did his best to show face. His smile disappeared, his warmth dying like the last coals on a hearth, and Zuko felt cold.
He hated the cold.

Summary
“Hello there!” The kid’s head shot up, their body freezing. Big eyes staring back at him. Well, one eye actually. The other one was still pulled fairly closed, the side of their face covered in a heck of a burn scar. How does a kid get a scar like that?
“Do you live close to here? If you don’t, it looks like rain, I don’t mind giving you a ride if-“ The kid had already run off. In the opposite direction. And into the woods.
Because a strange man in a minivan had pulled up and asked where they live and offered to give them a ride, stellar work there Hakoda.
At least the kid had some survival instincts.
Zuko needs a new dad, and Hakoda volunteers. A story spanning Zuko's old life, new life, and beyond
