    Summary

    The crew is broke.

    They don’t have enough money, or enough supplies, or enough rum in the galley, and Zuko is their captain. Uncle says they’ll figure something out at the next port, and that he should not worry about it because he’s “fourteen” and “too young” to do so.

    (He has never been too young for this. If he were too young, then he wouldn’t be scarred and scared and scouring the scorched globe for a century-old legend, and his father would be telling him to come home.)

    At the next port, he slips into town with another face plastered upon his own and two silver swords hefted across his back, and seeks gold.

     

    or: zuko learns and relearns, trespasses earth kingdom territory, commits contrary treason through paid murder, and gains friends.

    Summary

    Eventually, Zuko realizes that Sokka searches for ways to let his hands linger—and he gives Sokka every opportunity he can, until they're standing on the precipice of naming what they are, and what all of their gentle touches really mean.

    All they need, it turns out, is a ruined tassel, some yarn, and an excuse for Sokka to reach out to Zuko's hair, yet again.

    --
    He sighs, and very nearly misses it when Sokka softly asks, “helping?”

    Zuko can only bring himself to languidly nod, and savor the feeling of being so fully held.

    Summary

    The first time Zuko watched his father bend lightning, Ozai had come to himself with a familiar smile, the one Zuko went on to fear.

    When Azula bent lightning for the first time, she returned to herself beaming, giggling at her hands in awe of what she had done.

    Zuko comes to himself screaming.

    Summary

    salting the earth; the practice of spreading salt over a conquered city to both curse it and render its soil infertile, condemning its residents to famine.

     

    Zuko is many things throughout his life. Himself is just the one he never has the time for.
