Summary
Iroh of the Fire Nation, Dragon of the West, strode onto the dueling platform. "You cannot interfere in this Agni Kai, Iroh," Ozai taunted. "Or your life is forfeit." "No, Ozai. Your life is forfeit as is your reign as Firelord."

Summary
There are some great quick-and-dirty guides to HTML on A03. This is not one of them - it is a comprehensive guide
It's now 2025, a decade later. A03 supports some new HTML and and we're all walking around reading fic on supercomputers that fit in a jean pocket. It was time update this and take a crack at finishing it. (Links and Images are in, the new Audio and Video tags are not.)
The previous three chapters have been divided into smaller concepts. Each tag continues to have - at a minimum - a link to the w3schools page about it (so you can learn more), a code example, and the result of the code example. Most tags have their attributes, things like [src] or [title], listed and examples of how using the attributes modify the tags.
There's a chapter on Bad Ideas, including how some of the archive's default CSS is available to you to format your work (users can't turn that off by hiding a workskin!)
Oh. And I added a bunny army. You could learn how to add one too.

Summary
Iroh discovers he can heal after Zuko’s Agni Kai. The fact that he’s a waterbender can only mean one thing, really. At sixteen, he would have been a terrible Avatar. As an old man, he is both totally unprepared and absolutely unflinching.

Summary
Sokka had known, going in, that they would have to excavate. But as he stood amongst the windswept dunes of the central Si Wong Desert, half-blinded by sun and sweat in his eyes as he scanned the undulating horizon, he wondered if he had somewhat underestimated the scale of the task he'd taken on.

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
Team Avatar gets captured, and it is not the end of the world but it is still an experience unpleasant and unkind. Katara grits her teeth and she does not grin but she does bear it.
“Life isn’t fair, Katara,” Sokka had told her once, eyes hard and knowing and caring and real, and she had tasted a challenge on her tongue and decided you couldn't know unless you tried.
Because listen, listen, her kindness is not in her predisposition, it is an effort and a battle all to its own, and she will fight for her right to live in a world of her own making with her every breath. Her core is made of ice as hard as steel. She is not a blessing- she is a warrior, and if you think she will stand to be knocked down or belittled or broken you have never been more wrong.
Life has never been fair but Katara will never stop trying to make it so. This is not soft or naive or an illusion of bravery, this is a strength, and it is hers, it is hers, it is hers.
(Team Avatar gets captured, and they escape, and they live. This is how it happens.)

“We do not induct children into the Order, Piandao!” exclaims Jeong Jeong.
“He’s not a child,” insists Piandao calmly, without standing up. “He might have been, were this a different time, had he not grown up in the midst of a war. But he did."
On the eve of Sozin's comet, Piandao, Jeong Jeong, and Iroh discuss the White Lotus's most recent recruit.

Summary
“I seriously have no idea how Zuko has gotten this good at making tea,” Sokka says, taking a sip of his. He doesn’t even particularly like tea, but Zuko’s is great. Definitely an improvement from the Western Air Temple. They’re in Iroh’s tea shop, because it was there and they had some time to kill.
“Takes after his uncle, I guess,” Toph says, and Ty Lee laughs on the other side of the table. “What’s so funny?”
“Well, you know,” Ty Lee says with another bright little laugh, waving them off.

Summary
When Zuko dashes into the sitting room, it is with the same wide-eyed panic that he ran from Azula’s smoking hands when he was a child. Iroh bites down on a smile. Zuko looks the same, even now, a decade later with a scar blossomed over one side of his face, green and brown robes replacing the solitary reds of his childhood. His hair is puffed up around his face. He looks like a very frightened, very windswept turtle-dove.
Zuko dives behind Iroh just as Aang breezes to a stop in the doorway.
Five times Zuko hid behind Iroh, plus one time Zuko stood proudly in front of him.

Toph says, “It’s never nice when someone tries to make you feel small. Especially when they’re grown adults who should know better.”
Zuko blows out a breath. “Yeah. It’s--yeah.”
(Toph and Zuko, protecting each other at cross-national balls.)

Summary
He was my responsibility. The words were unspoken, but O’Connell may as well have shouted. Ugh, these heroic types. Jonathan took his flask back and drank, drank to drown the memory of the Warden’s frantic race, the screams, the crack of bone shattering against stone. If he thought about it too much the other screams would begin to leak out, and the cacophony of bombs and bullets and mustard gas.

Rex waits by the bedside of one of his lovers, waiting (hoping) for him to wake up. Damn the Sith, anyway.
Or - Rex finds proof of the control chips and Palpatine's treason before Order 66 can be fully carried out, and brings it to Anakin in time. Barely. Unfortunately, he does NOT get there in time to prevent the Order from being sent out to Utapau.

Summary
After touching a mysterious artifact, Cody's general is suddenly a child with the memories to match. Cody has to coax a suspicious adolescent back to base without alerting the nearby Separatists of their presence.
Reversing his general's age an easier fix than Cody thought it would be, but he didn't factor in the possibility that Obi-Wan might not want to give up his self in order to become General Kenobi again. It'd be easier to think if he didn't have an insidious voice in his head, whispering to him to distrust the Jedi.
