Summary
Zuko knew he would never be enough, and that was okay.
[Because if it wasn’t, he wouldn’t be able to do anything but silently start to break apart.
And what use would he be, then?]
------
On Zuko, being broken, and the gold in his life that helped rebuild him. Because like the Japanese art of kintsukuroi, mending broken pottery with gold, he is broken down, and reborn.

Summary
After that fateful Agni Kai, Ozai makes a different call. Branded as a traitor and banished to a prison camp, Zuko learns how cruel the Fire Nation can be to its citizens. Three years, a water tribe raid, and an unexpected meeting with a gang of over-enthusiastic idealistic children puts Zuko back in the spotlight. The revolution is coming and it wants another poster boy, but Zuko is not willing to lend his face to the cause.

Summary
Zuko is thrown back in time to the fateful Agni Kai, but not as himself, as Ozai. He struggles through the world wearing a new face, so much pain uncovered that never really left.
It’s harder to convince himself this is a nightmare as it continues, he’s never had this much control in them before.
His mouth doesn’t form words, and his body doesn’t move. His fingertips reach the absolutely burning skin of the child -the whole room is burning up, how did he not notice before- and he jerks his arm away. Something about this isn’t right, isn’t possible, isn’t real.
This isn’t a nightmare.
