    Summary

    Dad’s going to kill you, she had warned him, and she was right because she always is. It’s Zuzu’s fault for never listening, whispering Azula always lies as if she needed to lie to ruin him. And now he’s ruined himself.

    Summary

    He survived two-and-a-half years as General Fong’s training dummy, months as Zhao’s prisoner, and weeks as a captive aboard the Chief of the Southern Water Tribe’s ship, all the while refusing to let his father’s cold, firelit eyes be the last he saw of the man. There was no way these children would keep him from going home.

    "Yes," Zuko lied. 'I’ll help you defeat my father."

    Or: After three years of imprisonment, Zuko escapes, just in time to arrive at the climax of the Invasion of Ba Sing Se. From there, he travels with the Avatar's team - first as a political prisoner and then, maybe (and indignantly), as Aang's firebending teacher.

    (Zuko wonders why Agni let him suffer in the cold for so many years only to make him the Avatar's mentor. Destiny is a cruel, complicated thing. It takes him a while to figure out his.)
