    Summary

    “Were you trying to bend again?”

    “Bend? Why would I ever do that? Come on, you just said that I wasn’t stupid. I know I can’t bend and it’d be dumb of me to try.”

    If his condition allowed him to move, he would have run back to the village, away from Kya’s scrutiny. But not even the vast frozen oceans separating the Southern Water Tribe from the world could have hidden Bumi from his sister's cutting intuition.

    Summary

    “I’m so proud of you, my nephew.” Uncle cups Zuko’s face in his lined hand. The gesture is so tender, his palm so warm, that Zuko has to take a fortifying breath against the sudden swell of emotion in his chest.

    “I want to be a good leader, Uncle,” Zuko says. “I want to look after my people.”

    “You will,” Uncle says. “You are, nephew.”

     

    In a new era of peace, Zuko works to be a very different Fire Lord than his forefathers. Based on this tumblr post.
