    Summary

    The night of the Snowball, Steve realizes he doesn't want to be alone for Christmas. The only way he can make that happen, however, is to apologize to his aunt, and go see his mom. It's been three years since the argument that made Steve stop visiting. He figures it is about time he finally saw her, even if she kicks him out for good. His mom hasn't changed, but his Aunt Becky is certainly surprised to see him.

     

    Or: Steve is the son of a long-since divorced John Harrington and Terry Ives, and he believed his mother had a miscarriage and went crazy.

    Summary

    “You remember him,” Chit Sang sounded surprised.

    “I remember all of their names,” Zuko admitted. While he was on the ship, his father had sent him every death certificate from the 41st division. There was never any other note, no words from the Fire Lord, just a piece of paper with the name, age, and rank of the soldier who died. Zuko had kept every single one on his ship, reading over every single one and committing their names to his memory. He couldn’t stop them from dying, but they were what motivated him to keep moving, to get back his honor so that he could help prevent deaths like theirs.

    Chit Sang's brother fought in the 41st division. Unknowingly, Zuko had become a beacon of hope to those in the Fire Nation whose family had perished in the needless war, to the people who wished for a Fire Lord who will fight for their people instead of power. Chit Sang feels the need to let Zuko know this.

    Summary

    Crown Prince Zuko discovers his bending when he is five and his sister is three, and she’s the first person he tells, juggling a flame while she admires its beauty. When he shows the rest of his family, his mother’s chopsticks clatter to the table, and when Zuko looks to his father, his eyes are wide with shock.

    His grandfather speaks first, the head of the table, and approval runs thick through his tone: “Well, look at that. A true prodigy, wouldn’t you agree, Ozai?”

    “Indeed,” he hums.

    //

    (Princess Azula won’t summon her first flame—a guttering, timid thing—until she’s seven.)

    //

    Or, in a world where Zuko is the prodigy and Azula is the one banished, destiny shifts accordingly.
