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.

Bookmark Notes:
The music picks up and they move into the next bending position, and then the next, and the next. They move around the circle in tandem. They step and spin and move together, even as their styles remain unique. Toph is hard and unmoving where Aang is weightless; Zuko is fierce where Katara is fluid.
As they move faster and faster, they begin to bend. Air swirls through Aang’s robes. Water follows the arch of Katara’s arms. Chunks of the earth pull away from the ground and chase after Toph. Ribbons of fire twist around Zuko.
The beat of the song changes and so, too, does their bending. This is a new aspect of the dance; once, the change in rhythm guided the Avatar as they switched between each element, but now, they switch bending styles.
