Summary
Zuko sweeps and his thoughts swirl and rise and descend, like leaves caught up in an eddy of wind. He finds himself thinking of old memories, ones he hasn’t thought of in many years. There’s something he’s close to remembering, some thought he’s close to uncovering.
But he always shrinks away before he can discover what it is.

Summary
“Have you decided on a name?” Uncle says one day.
He furrows his brows and takes a moment to process the question. “I shouldn’t.”
“And why not Prince Zuko?”
“Her real family should name her.” Zuko says after a few moments. “Whoever they will be.”
Uncle looks at him with something Zuko can’t decipher. “You saved her, did you not? Both her life and her future. If anyone deserves that honor nephew, it is you.”
When Zuko encounters Aang and Katara in the Ba Sing Se catacombs, he makes a vastly different choice. What they don’t realize however, is that he's not just fighting for himself anymore.

Summary
The first lesson Zuko ever learns about firebending is that power comes from anger.
Firebenders can draw power from their pain. His whole life, Zuko is told to use his old haunts to succeed, swiping fire from the nicks in his fingers and bursting angry flames from his left eye. Azula’s cold fire comes from the scars littering her arms and the phantom stinging of her father’s backhands. Iroh, too, has little marks on forearms and hands, long faded but still burning like new when he bends them with intense fury. The nature of firebending is not so easily boiled down, though, and throughout his journey, Zuko tries hard to truly understand his pain and power in life.

Summary
Zuko loved his Father, like kindling loves the fire.
Ozai just wished he would die already.
(Or: Zuko’s father meant for him to die at the Agni Kai, but the spirits have a different plan, one that Hakoda didn’t recall signing up for.)

Summary
The need to be in each other’s comfort outweighed their physical needs, which resulted in them sharing a room and bed for the night. It would hardly be the first time they’d done so and, while none would readily admit it, each of them slept easier pressed against the warm bodies of their brothers.
