Summary
Hakoda watches his children pensively. His gaze turns to the Fire Prince, who stubbornly refuses to look at any of them.
Hakoda remembers everything he has heard. His eyes wander toward the scar on the boy's face, making him wonder...
“How many times did Ozai try to kill you, Zuko?”
He realizes too late that he has spoken these words aloud. Suddenly, it becomes quiet around him.
And Zuko begins to count silently.
Or: Hakoda asks Zuko about his relationship with his father. Zuko answers far too honestly.

Summary
Coming to terms with being in the past was not easy, but it was impossible to deny. Arriving practically on top of a Targaryen with a living dragon made sure of that. Either he had somehow ended up in the past, or he was suffering through a very vivid nightmare.
Then, as if finding himself in the past wasn't bad enough, Jon had ended up back in time right in the middle of Targaryen family drama at its worst. And unfortunately for him, the entire House of the Dragon seemed convinced he belonged in their family.
Jon would very much like to know why everyone he met was so certain he was a long dead prince. He still looked like Jon Snow. (He had checked.) There was no way he and prince Lucerys Velaryon could look so alike, right?
As they lived centuries apart, no one living ever knew that Jon Snow and Lucerys Velaryon were identical. If not for a whim of the Valyrian gods, even Jon would have remained none the wiser.

Summary
For historical accuracy, the coup d’état was Suki and Hakoda’s idea, not Zuko’s.
Or: in which Zuko doesn’t escape the palace after the eclipse. After a few days, Ozai decides to send him to the Boiling Rock.
It doesn’t take Suki and Hakoda long to reach a conclusion: why limit themselves to escaping the Boiling Rock when they could stage a coup in the Fire Nation as well?

Summary
"We're going to be alcoholics by the time we're thirty," Sokka sighed.
"You think we'll live to be thirty?" Zuko asked, honestly thrilled. Sokka had pretty good instincts. Perhaps Zuko should reevaluate his long term goals. He could start by having long term goals.
A more likely alternative was that Sokka was just a hopeless optimist. It just went to show, you never truly saw another man until you stood shoulder to shoulder against a fleet of war balloons intent on raining death upon the city you loved.
Zuko was just a normal guy with normal interests. He liked theatre, burglary, crotchety ostrich horses, watching the Blind Bandit crush her opponents in a glorious display of skill and violence... just your standard banished prince things. It wasn't his fault he kept stumbling into rebellions and uncovering long-buried secrets. Fine, maybe freeing the prisoners was on him, but he was completely innocent of all other treason. Zuko was his father's loyal son. He'd never betray his nation.
Or:
Uncle Iroh took a more creative approach to fostering Zuko's appreciation of other cultures. Now it's everyone's Problem.- Language:
