    Summary

    In fifth grade science class Shane learned that a mouse would always return home no matter how terrifying home is, because it's home. He relays this fact to his mom the minute he steps out of school, their clasped hands swaying in between them. He remembers her laughing, and then he remembers her saying, "Of course they would, Shane. Where else could they possibly go?"

    Summary

    It’s in the middle of scanning the last bottle of green tea that Itadori properly looks up. Eye contact with him is a physical, unexpected shock, a crunch of imaginary static snapping through Megumi and leaving his hands twitching at his sides.

    "Hey." Itadori blinks, wide and earnest. "Do I know you from somewhere?"

    The tea sloshes backwards in the bottle he’s holding. Megumi focuses on this until his vision steadies.

    "No," he says. "I don’t think so."

    In the aftermath, Itadori loses his memories instead of his life. Megumi grieves nonetheless.

    Summary

    Sokka's expression is caught somewhere between determined and pissed off when he says, “I know you think this is your responsibility. But you’re not going to be alone in this. This is why we’re building you a council.”

    “I know,” Zuko says.

    “And the only way you’re going to die having done nothing but sit in meetings is if you let yourself do that. You’re not a bad leader if you take a break now and then.”

    Zuko scowls. “What, so people can then say at least my father wasn’t lazy?”

    Sokka tilts his head. “Don’t you think there’s a difference between laziness and, I don’t know, choosing life and happiness in spite of a terrible dad who tried to take both from you?”

    ----------

    Zuko is sixteen years old when he’s handed a crown, a throne, and a hundred-year ancestral legacy of colonial imperialism. He’s not scared of the work; he’s scared of being consumed by the responsibilities and burdens he’s claimed. What Zuko doesn’t quite realize, yet, is that he’s not alone in this.
