Summary
Because he's been subjected to listening to this ambassador since before the dawn of time, Aang finally surrenders to feigning interest. Brow furrowed, lips pursed, the occasional nod that says, why, yes, international trade, yes, very important. His predecessors transcended the mortal plane through spiritual rigor. Today, Aang has done it through the sheer force of not giving one single fuck about this conversation. He finally lets his mind slip. Eyes closed in mock contemplation, he nods at random intervals as a memory from last night in the Firelord's chambers rolls across the back of his eyelids.
OR
The council drones on. Aang worries over a slip-up. The Firelord arrives. Negotiations move to the table.

Summary
As the moon lures salt waves further from the shore, each residual lap of surf swells gently against their feet. The sun has long set, but the warmth of the Ember Island summer still radiates from the sand that cradles their shoulders.
The laughter and commotion and reconnecting of their first day at the beach subside with the evening tide, leaving- mysteriously yet predictably- Aang and Zuko alone together.

Summary
In the last ten years since the war, Zuko and Aang developed an intimacy too tender, too fragile, and too important to name. Now that Zuko is of traditional marrying age and under pressure to find an appropriate wife and secure an heir; Aang finally opens the door to the unspoken between them.
Originally written for Flash Fic Friday, this story took on a life of it's own. More chapters to come!

When he parted the curtains, Zuko was sitting cross-legged on a cushion with a cup of jasmine tea cradled in his palm. His bare chest framed by the deep maroon of his silk robe. He was less surprised than Aang expected him to be.
Standing up and dropping the porcelain cup to the low table beside him, he said, “Aang, what are you doing? You shouldn’t be here,” it was weak, the hollowness of his conviction echoed loudly. And, it wasn’t even true. Aang had accompanied him for tea many times in his personal chambers, and at much later hours than this. It was the air between them that had changed. The two of them alone together felt fresh with impropriety.

Summary
By tomorrow afternoon there would be hundreds of people from all four nations pouring into the Southern Air Temple to celebrate the festivities of Aang’s 27th birthday celebration. Zuko carved a day out of his schedule to arrive early- he wanted to surprise Aang with a gift. He wrote to him asking if they could spend one day together before the festival- just the two of them. There was an unexpected lurch in Zuko's stomach as he unfurled his letter that read “Come as many days early as you can make time for” in Aang’s flowy script.

Aang and Zuko spend a wine and laughter-soaked night reading through unsent letters from Sozin to Roku on the eve of Aang's 27th birthday festival.

Summary
The Avatar could never belong to any one person. Air Nomads and Avatars belong to everyone and no one, all at once.
The steady current of Aang's cultural practice only worked to quicken the pace of the ache thrumming in Zuko’s chest. He fell in love with him for so many reasons, including his connection to his people and the preservation of their heritage.
The heritage his family had brought to a gruesome, cruel, blazing end.
Aang’s culture taught him to create harmony with the world and encouraged him to think for himself and carve his own path. His people made him the man he was. Honoring their memory made him the only person who believed in who Zuko could be. And, he needed Aang to believe that’s who he truly was. Some days, like today, he wasn’t completely sure.
Aang belonged to the world, dead and alive. Physical and spiritual. He belonged to all four nations. He was spoken for the moment he was born.
And, yet here he still was. Padding into the Firelord’s bathing chambers with the baby blue of his mastery tattoos exposed everywhere but what disappeared beneath his marigold shorts.

Summary
The self-loathing entwined in Zuko’s desire cast a haunting shadow over the first years of their intimacy. To him, Aang had the right to take. Controlling him was punishment for the transgressions he and his family had committed. Night after night, kneeling at Aang’s altar, offering him his own deprecation as an act of contrition.
But Aang didn’t want retribution, he wanted Zuko.
