Summary
Fleeing from the chaos of a crumbling empire and a cruel, foolhardy king, Twitter seeks asylum in the arms of an old lover. But shattered amity is a difficult bridge to gap, and out of all the sites, Tumblr is perhaps best known for circulating old posts... and hanging on to old grudges.
That's so sad Alexa play caramelldansen

Summary
"He has the eyes, Princess Ursa." They were half-forgotten words, a whisper of fears never explained. Zuko had dismissed it all as nothing to worry about—until he somehow healed the Avatar. Fire healers weren't meant to exist, except he did. He'd saved the kid's life. Naturally, he wanted answers. Too bad finding them wasn't so simple...

Summary
Later, Katara can see how it all fell apart. Azula in her cell, growing roses; Zuko surrounded by enemies, slowly dying; their friends in the Earth Kingdom, safely escaping. And herself at the centre of it, saving lives and breaking promises. Set after finale, eventual Zutara.

Summary
Through the spite of the spirits or plain rotten chance, a door that would have been better left untouched has opened. On the other hand, with Fire and Earth as one's allies, sometimes escaping is the easy part.
Even the Dragon-King's temple floods.

Summary
“I’m so proud of you, my nephew.” Uncle cups Zuko’s face in his lined hand. The gesture is so tender, his palm so warm, that Zuko has to take a fortifying breath against the sudden swell of emotion in his chest.
“I want to be a good leader, Uncle,” Zuko says. “I want to look after my people.”
“You will,” Uncle says. “You are, nephew.”
In a new era of peace, Zuko works to be a very different Fire Lord than his forefathers. Based on this tumblr post.

Bookmarker's Notes
"The years he spent in exile trained him how to be Fire Lord, in a way. The experience he gained shaped him into a leader, more than any lessons about etiquette and tradition ever could. Banishing him was the best thing Ozai ever did."
---
"Katsu takes Zuko’s hand before Zuko can offer it, and he stares down at the place where their fingers are tangled together. Such small hands, he thinks. Small, and unblemished, and trusting."With every passing day, he understands his father less and less."
---
"People are reclaiming their marks because their young Fire Lord bears the same scars, and it is not a sign of his defeat. It is a reminder of his bravery. It is a testament to his strength that he could overcome a man as merciless as Ozai. (...) There are still those that see his scar as further proof that he is unfit to rule, but there would always be people who despise him and everything he stands for. A larger part of the nation sees his scar as something else. A reminder of what kind of beast the last Fire Lord was. A mark of Zuko’s strength that he could overcome him. A sign of Zuko’s honour"The scar made him strong and brave, Katsu had said. Zuko keeps the words, the memory of his face shining up at Zuko with certainty as he spoke of the new Fire Lord, tucked close to his chest. From the mouth of babes, Uncle would say."
---
"Zuko is busier than he’s ever been, and it’s hard work, frustrating work, but he finally feels as though he’s making progress. Zuko knows how to work for what he has, how to struggle; sometimes, it feels like it’s all he knows how to do. This is a different kind of battle than Zuko is used to facing, a battle of politics and tradition and trade, but Zuko is learning. He’s improving."For the first time since Uncle said that Zuko should be crowned the next Fire Lord, Zuko feels as though he can do this."

“It was more than a dance,” Uncle says. “It was a sign of the peace and strength and grace you will bring to our nation.”
