    Summary

    Iroh often wonders how a child raised as Zuko was- in pain and rage and cold indifference- could turn out the way he did- kind and gentle and just.

    Iroh often discounts himself.

    Or: how Zuko came to realize that a father’s love shouldn’t need to be earned.

    Summary

    (“You’re not sleeping,” Mai says softly.
    “How’d you know?” Zuko asks.

    To be honest, he’s kind of gotten to the point where he’s surprised that anyone can perceive him outside of his necessary functions- he exists solely to sit in council meetings and shoulder the blame for genocides and famines and the suffering of one-hundred years. Doesn’t he?)

    The war is over, but the fallout is just beginning. And where lightning strikes, thunder is bound to follow.

    Summary

    He watched Mrs. Byers meet the young girl's eyes over her son's shoulders and he was suddenly hit with a crystal clear image in his mind.

    Hopper. Standing with his back to the gate. Smiling softly, resigned. But filled with so much love.

    Joyce. Watching, stretched impossibly thin. Understanding with a sense of grief, too terrible to name.

    She turns the keys.

    "Steve?" Jonathan is half out of the ambulance, using all of his weakened strength to keep Steve upright. "What's wrong?"

    "Hopper. It's Hopper. He's gone." Steve doesn't know how he knows it, but he does.

    -------------------

    After the Battle of Starcourt, Steve struggles with the damages that the Russians left behind. In dealing with the aftermath, with the help of Robin and the Party, he uncovers a larger conspiracy at hand than just re-opening the Gate.
