    Summary

    “It’s pretty impressive that you know how to fight with weapons when you can bend fire,” Sokka says, and Zuko promptly drops both swords.

    Okay, yeah, that was strange.

    Summary

    “We are not a savage people, but we are a desperate one. And desperate people are willing to do terribly savage things, especially to the pathetic whelp that took so many from us. The stench of the dead and the screams of the dying will never leave my mind, but I hope to recolor my memory with the contours of yours.”

    Summary

    Zuko had scrubbed the smell of sex and blood of himself, but that didn’t stop it from clinging to the inside of his nose. Could the others smell it? Could they taste his shame in the back of their throats too?

    Irrationally, Zuko wanted to crawl inside himself. Peel those watching eyes off him; don’t look at me! They knew, somehow. They could see it on him. Some kind of tell, some stain he couldn’t see or wash away.

    What if they all knew? Laughing behind his back at what he’d given up just for a fraction of a chance to get his honor back.

    What honor? Any scrap he’d had left after the Agni Kai was lost the moment he spread his legs for Zhao.

    They could all see it, couldn’t they?

    Zuko wondered if he could ever be rid of the things Zhao did to him.


    Zuko deals with the aftermath.
    He goes about it the same way he deals with every other shitty thing in his life: with gritted teeth, stubborn pride, and a whole lot of yelling.

    Summary

    If Zuko was honest with himself, he would say he loved the way Hakoda said his name. Like it was something precious. He was used to hearing it in so many thousands of harsh tones. Disgust. Scorn. Anger. Hakoda always said it softly, with a soft “k” instead of a spit out syllable barely worthy of being mouthed.

    Summary

    “But you just said honor is about doing what’s right. You must have known that wasn’t right,” Sokka presses.

    There’s a long moment of silence. Then, “I knew it didn’t feel right. But I always told myself that if I knew the first thing about honor, I would still be home.”

    “I don’t understand."

    “I didn’t, either,” Zuko sighs.

    Of course Sokka has seen the scar. It’s kind of hard to miss.

    …It just hadn’t occurred to him that it meant anything.
