Summary
Zuko was a child when he met Agni. Then, the spirits started coming to him. Eyes hidden in the hallways, voices pleading for help, for recognition, for remembrance.
Zuko could see Agni. He could see the broken remains of a Great Spirit and the empty smiles of amnesiac ghosts.
And they could see him in return.

Summary
Samhain happened in a flash of green.
The baby didn't cry when his mother decided to sleep on the floor and never wake up again. He didn't cry when the red eyed man shot another pretty light that burned his forehead. He didn't cry when a pair of soft arms lifted him up, hugging him like his mommy used to. He didn't cry when the warm stranger kissed his aching forehead, wrapped a silver necklace around his neck and said it was not his time, not yet. Harry didn't cry when people found him.
He slept, hugging the cold metal of a silver ankh that whispered sweet nothings to him.
