    Summary

    He tried to explain to Mother once, the way his skin crawled when his hair brushed the back of his neck or someone called him pretty. She had sat patiently, arms wrapped around his middle under their favorite tree, while he struggled to find the words to explain why he wasn’t her daughter. She had hummed softly as if she understood while brushing a stray hair from his forehead. “I love you, Zuko.” She had murmured softly just for him. “Please don’t tell anyone else, okay? It’ll be our secret. Promise me.”

    He remembers how soft she touched him; how gentle she had been as she waited for him to promise to hide himself. He was still young but he understood mother’s promises were always to protect him, especially when they hurt.

    “I promise.”

    Summary

    He can recognize the shape of their brow now that he knows his own. Their eyes may belong to a stranger, but he can see the way their jaw will fill out with time, too. It's not exactly the same. There'll be differences--clear ones, even other than the horns, and the tail. But still--

    At the very least, they would pass as brothers to most. The realisation hits Dan Heng like a punch to the stomach.

    “Most likely.”

    Aventurine laughs a soft, real laugh, and sniffs.
