    Summary

    Well. Evidently going undercover to an Idan society fling in order to deliver a message to a high-profile BoE agent was a tits-out kind of look.

    Summary

    Jinshi is terribly aware most people don’t love the way he does - case in point, he’s picked a single wood-sorrel when he could’ve had a blossom of every variety if he so chose. While he of course feels some male pride seeing Maomao pregnant and knowing he did that, more than anything he feels a deep love and curiosity for the child, and immeasurable appreciation for his wife. It's fascinating to know they created something that didn’t exist, and now they would be responsible for guiding it through the world. He would be a father.

    So what was a good father?

    Or, Jinshi's on the cusp of fatherhood, and then he's just plain in it. Meanwhile, the rest of the world keeps spinning.

    Summary

    “Fire Lord Zuko,” Uncle starts, and Zuko recoils from the formal address. It feels different than it used to when he was banished and Uncle would make a point of addressing him as Prince Zuko. Once upon a time it had made him think of his mother’s parting words, "Never forget who you are," but he does not feel like a Fire Lord at all despite the crown he now wears. He feels so much like he did back when he was thirteen, the stinging pain of a fresh burn scar nagging at him as he tries to project confidence about the impossible quest before him.

    AKA: Zuko's side of the Katara Alone timeline.

    Summary

    Zuko goes into exile with a scar, a mission, and a wife.

    The girl wears ill fitted ceremonial silks. She is too thin, with jutting bones and hollowed eyes. Dirt smudges her cheek. Her lower lip has a healing split in it. Gaudy as her finery is, she wears it like prisoner’s rags.

    All of this Zuko registers in the time it takes him to reach the dais and bow. Every muscle aches with the remembrance of what happened the last time he knelt before Father. This time there is no begging, no roar of the crowd, no burning. Still—Zuko’s grateful to stand once more.

    Slipping into soldier’s parade rest, he waits for what will come next, all too aware of the girl’s defiant body next to his.

    “I am told that this is Katara of the Southern Water Tribe,” Father says, cruel amusement oiling his words. The phrasing makes the girl sound like a thing. “The last waterbender of their pathetic tribe.” Flames conceal all but his shadow, yet Zuko knows from long experience the exacting blade of his father’s smirk. The smirk he must surely wear now. Because he has built up his insult and now he lets it fall. “Your bride.”
