    Summary

    ‘Hopeful’ wasn’t a word that was used to describe Zuko. Not now, not ever.

    But once upon a time, when he’d been young and reckless, he’d let himself believe in the idea for just a little while.

    ‘Hope’ had sounded like too-loud laughter. ‘Hope’ had smelled like crisp, cold air and saltwater. ‘Hope’ had looked like crystal blue eyes and tan skin.

    In the midst of a war, ‘hope’ was almost his future. He had the necklace to prove it.

    or, years after being crowned Firelord, Zuko receives news that encourages him to rethink everything he believed about his title, love, and the balance between duty and happiness.
