   Summary

   Zuko had been wandering the world Spirit cursed for years. It wasn't enough for the Spirits to refuse to let him stay dead, they were determined to make sure he kept on dying. Waking up to an already bloodied sword above him should have been no different to every other time. He never expected to stay. He wasn't prepared to care again. Yet he did and he would hold onto it as short lived as it may be.

   This is a rewrite of Perpetual by tealeyedbeing from Sho/Zuko's perspective because I'm unfairly obsessed.
