Summary
Images flashed in front of him, just as the whispering ceased.
A glowing boy in an iceberg, a crowd of people bowing to him, even more cheering, Azula chained to the gutter, his father's corpse being burned with four people in attendance, someone named Kiyi, a bearded man and a woman who looked like Mai naming their son Iroh, a new nation, him standing in front of Sozin's portrait while Azula jeered, him confronting his father, him hugging a tattooed boy, a pair of siblings fr-
They say that the Firelord murdered his son in cold blood with a cold gaze. They say that it is a pity, for the boy was a failure. They know that they must say what is expected of them.

Summary
“Have you decided on a name?” Uncle says one day.
He furrows his brows and takes a moment to process the question. “I shouldn’t.”
“And why not Prince Zuko?”
“Her real family should name her.” Zuko says after a few moments. “Whoever they will be.”
Uncle looks at him with something Zuko can’t decipher. “You saved her, did you not? Both her life and her future. If anyone deserves that honor nephew, it is you.”
When Zuko encounters Aang and Katara in the Ba Sing Se catacombs, he makes a vastly different choice. What they don’t realize however, is that he's not just fighting for himself anymore.

Summary
After the events of War Crimes, Sokka and Zuko have escaped Zhao’s warship and are fleeing across the Earth Kingdom. As well as unfamiliar terrain, they have to navigate their shared trauma, work out where they fit into the war, and their place in each others lives.
Sokka is aware that being friends with the enemy is going to bring complications, but he probably should have guessed that being friends with Zuko in particular, was going to be a bit like dunking your head repeatedly into a bucket of angry Fire Ferrets.
Katara is also grappling with the confusion of befriending an enemy, something that doesn’t prove as difficult as she had expected with the bond of shared, furious grief bridging old wounds. (Learning a new way to look at her bending doesn't hurt either)
Azula, struggling with the Fire Lord’s mistrust, encounters a few nasty surprises and has to make some difficult decisions. Luckily, she is a great deal better at making sensible choices than her brother.
Her father may have made a slight tactical error.
