Summary
His grip tightened on the old piece of paper in his hands, and he stared her down, his ugly scarred eye never once looking away. Azula had thought about his scar quite a few times in her life. It was hard to miss. When it had happened, she had thought he had deserved it. When he was banished she knew he had deserved it, and when he turned up at her coronation insistent that he would become the Fire Lord instead of her, she wished she had been the one to cause it herself.
But now, as he sat in front of her, barely seventeen with the weight of the entire world on his shoulders and nothing to guide him but the ramblings of an old lunatic and the goody-goody feel good teachings of a twelve year old monk, Azula wondered if maybe... just maybe, Zuko hadn’t deserved the treatment he had gotten from their father, either.
Or; Azula's downward spiral from her pov

Summary
Zuko wishes he could say his intentions were good. He wishes that he’d told Sokka about the Boiling Rock in a sense of comradery, and that he’d volunteered on this suicide mission because it was simply the right thing to do.
But he’s learned, over time, that he’s a selfish creature; it’s in his nature. He always wants what he can’t have—and this time is no different.

Summary
Zuko doesn't exactly know what came over him when he reached out to stop a hit that was never going to come, because Hakoda is someone who loves his children, and Sokka was never in any danger. One way or another, it happens, and that's all that matters.
"Zuko, may I talk with you?"
"Of course, sir."

Summary
Sokka does a shitty k turn in the parking lot across from the bus station, pulls up to the curb where the boy is looking determinedly at his phone, and rolls down the passenger window. “Hey! Which way were you going?” He may die, but at least his conscience will be clear.
The guy blinks at him.
“Don’t.”
Oh, he’s prickly.

Summary
“Are you saying Stan the Man isn’t a total stud? I mean if you take away the stick up his ass and the ugly clothes, he’s a fucking stud. Right, Bill? When we get down to the quarry tonight, I triple dog dare you to call Stan Studley and you can’t tell him it’s a dare.”
It starts out as a dare but some names just stick.
