Summary
It was obvious, the contrast between Prince Zuko and the majority of his family. As one often does a young child, Prince Zuko cried and yelled - not over anything serious, of course, just little things.
Tears running down his face and lower lip wobbling dangerously after falling from a tree branch, one he wasn’t even supposed to be climbing. Shouting as he stormed away from his sister, a mocking laugh following him. Bawling loud enough to draw practically a cohort of concerned palace sentries when he nearly broke his ankle after slipping from his perch on a banister.
Despite all of that, all of the prince’s anger and sadness, his explosive reactions and impatience with himself, Zuko would never take it out on the servants, nor any of the other staff in Caldera.
Or: I couldn't resist putting a Zuko & Palace Staff story in this series. It just wouldn't be right without it.

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.

Summary
I don't want to push Sphereite culture on them, Rudo thought. He didn't want to spread that kind of poison on the people who had been so kind to him.
So it stayed locked up in the cage he made for it, where everything he brought with him from the Sphere could only ever eat away at his own insides.
No matter how much it hurt.
Or: This story is about the flowers. It was also never about the flowers.

Summary
Sometimes, Follo wonders how he ever found the audacity in himself to start dating such an established couple. Who knew a confession to a crush would lead to that crush bluntly stating that he had a boyfriend, but that didn’t mean he — or that boyfriend — weren’t interested.
[Or: the one where Follo tries to celebrate his one-year anniversary with Jabber and Zanka, but Jabber’s being very... Jabber about it]

Summary
The day Zanka met Fu was also the beginning of his end. Zanka just didn’t realize it until he was already in too deep, with no way to hit rewind and stop himself from falling.
