Summary
“Your strategy is so textbook,” Ping says, tapping a thoughtful finger to his lips - unprompted, since Shang hasn’t yet recovered from this stinging xiangqi loss to be clear-minded and receptive enough to ask for where he’d gone wrong this time. “It makes you predictable.”
(An exploration of Shang’s inner turmoil as he discovers non-platonic love, beginning with childhood and ending with “dinner would be great.”)

Summary
Mai supposes it isn’t quite fair to heap all of the blame on Ty Lee. After all, Ty Lee likely had no idea what her actions had led to. Mai couldn’t entirely fault her for running off to the circus. What Mai could fault Ty Lee for was leaving without telling her. Mai would have understood. More than understood, Mai would have gone with her. Instead, Mai is trapped as an army of servants prepare her for her moment of reckoning.
Today is her wedding day.
An alternate-universe Maiko adventure.

Summary
Mai and Ty Lee are trying to adjust to life in the Boiling Rock when they learn they're being transferred to the prison near the Fire Nation capital. Mai's uncle has rivals among his fellow wardens who demand that they be removed from his custody to avoid a conflict of interest. At Warden Poon's prison, Ty Lee finds new, unexpected friends in the Kyoshi Warriors and is comforted by being closer to her family. Meanwhile, Mai meets some of the oddest people she's ever seen: water benders from a swamp in the Earth Kingdom. She even becomes friends with one of them in particular, who challenges her pessimistic view of life.
