Summary
The children don’t remember much of their tío. Their real tío, the one that Pepa and Julieta grew up with. They remember the man who was already halfway into his own grave; a hole that he might’ve been digging himself, but with their young eyes, none of them could ever be sure.
Bruno is a new man.

Summary
And what is it like to hold someone, when you know that they could just as easily shatter you in their grip like porcelain? The thought makes him shudder. But there is a softness in being able to submit to this vulnerability, to trust in its purest form, to showing your wounds despite the scars marring your body. There is something freeing in that idea. Heisenberg does not know if he finds it beautiful or terrifying.

Summary
There once was a very good man, who was a very good host, and now he is gone and there is a tender bruise in the shape of his body. Dark roots gather the broken pieces of him, twining between his bones. His tired persistence, his missing fingers, the curve of his spine. The tragedy of strength in its transience.
The man does not come back right, but this is an acceptable alternative to death.

Summary
Lu Ten, sealed away for six years under Lake Laogai by Ozai's traitorous hands, has been freed by his cousin Zuko. But all he can see in him is the man that sold him out to rot - all he can see in him is the usurper that took his father's throne. Iroh, unaware of the bile that Lu Ten spits at Zuko whenever they're alone, encourages his beloved sons to spend more time together.
It all comes to a head in the ugliest of ways.

Summary
“Would someone be clear with what’s happening on my ship?” Hakoda demanded.
Hakoda had to move past the foresail before he saw what the others were talking about. Rather who, because there was very much a boy standing before the bowsprit, looking out on the water.

Summary
A penny for your thoughts, my good sir? Let the light it reflects clear your worries. A burden shared is a burden halved, after all.
They say that in addition to the spirits of the world, there are also guardian spirits that watch over individuals. It is debatable whether everyone has one, or if it is just for people who have caught the spirits’ attention. The former is comforting; the latter definitely is not.
Sometimes, Iroh wants to find his nephew’s guardian spirit and throttle it.
--
Zuko and Iroh try to make a life for themselves in Ba Sing Se, but Iroh never predicted the extent to which the city he laid siege to would go to in order to cover it all up. The crimes of this war pile higher and higher, and if he can't protect the people he loves, it's about time he does something about it.
...right after he gets out of prison.
OR: Iroh's POV during the events of Stand and Deliver.

Summary
“Blessed Spirit, we thank you for the gift of this child’s life. We are forever in your debt.” The whole village is kneeling now, even the tiniest toddlers flopped down on their stomachs doing their best approximation of a bow. “Please, won’t you give us a name to call you? We would like to properly express our gratitude.”
Oh.
Well shit.
(Where Zuko saves a little Earth Kingdom girl from drowning, the villagers think he's a Spirit, build him a shrine, and long story short, a fake story about the Blue Spirit who dances with dragons suddenly becomes very real.)
