Summary
“I think he’s sick.” Bato says flatly. “So unless you want the next meeting to include the Fire Lord puking all over the budget scrolls, maybe see if he's okay?”
Hakoda glances up the hallway, like perhaps Katara will appear and take over dealing with the prickly teenager. Of course, his daughter is off treating injured refugees with the Avatar, and Bato is still staring at him expectantly, arms crossed.
“Fine,” He sighs, and he claps Bato on the cheek before heading into the room.
Or: Zuko falls ill not long after Ozai's defeat. Hakoda sits with him and learns some unpleasant truths about his childhood.

Summary
“He imagined Zuko kneeling before his own father, a man who didn't have any reservations about hurting a child, begging in the same way. He imagined his own son being this scared of fathers. He threw up.
Watery bile from weeks on prison food spilt through his lips and he was hacking, choking on grief and horror. War had filled his lungs with smaug and ash and as he gasped for air through tears he couldn’t care less for his own misery, only that of the boy before him.”

Summary
His father was within his right to hurt Zuko, but that didn’t mean that Zuko wanted to share that. His shame was his own, his inability to produce a simple flame, the burden he placed on his family, it was all his own to handle and process. Zuko selfishly didn’t want those same feelings to crawl to anyone else, he didn't want them to know about the pain he carried with him every day.
“I fell when doing my forms,” Zuko says, plastering a smile over his face. It isn't the first time he lied, and it most definitely won't be the last.

Exactly what the title says, the five times Zuko had to lie about an injury and the one time he felt safe enough to tell the truth.Bookmarked by sharkshoes
