Summary
Banished and without purpose, Zuko has been living with Uncle Iroh in Ba Sing Se for the last several years.
They've managed to stay out of the war, but the war finds them anyway when the Earth Kingdom decides enough is enough and launches a counter attack on the Fire Nation.
Separated from Uncle Iroh and with the entire Earth Kingdom looking for him, Zuko has no choice but to return to the place he once called home
Somehow, against all odds, he ends up at the South Pole instead. The spirits really had it out for him, didn't they?
Wounded and stuck, Zuko decides to wait for his injuries to heal before he sets out again to find Uncle Iroh and return to the Fire Nation.
But as the days go by, it's getting harder and harder to want to leave.Series

Summary
sokka doesn’t know when he forgot what his mother’s wings looked like. he knows that the forgetting didn’t happen all at once, that it was slow and quiet and insidious, just like he knows maybe forgetting isn’t the right term, knows being replaced might be more appropriate because when he tries to remember mom’s face all he sees is katara’s, and when he thinks of her wings—
when sokka thinks of his mother’s wings, he sees sleek brown feathers laced through with dull silver. he sees soft white undersides and chalky down. he sees juvenile plumage so very like his own, quiet and unassuming, on two long, sharply angled wings. he sees katara’s wings when he tries to think of his mother’s, and it stings like betrayal.

Summary
“Your dad,” Sokka starts, then swallows hard. “Your dad dueled you, burned half of your face off, and then banished you because you spoke when you shouldn’t have?”
Guilt festers and bubbles like black tar in Zuko’s chest. “I didn’t just speak. I questioned and insulted one of his highest-ranking generals—but the man was planning a massacre! He shouldn’t have—” Zuko clamps his mouth shut, his teeth clicking together, and swallows thickly. “I mean. I found the tactic he proposed very startling, but it wasn’t my place to question such things. I’m sure he had his reasons.”
“Tui and La what the absolute fuck,” Sokka whispers.
[Zuko gets imprisoned with Sokka and Katara during the winter solstice, and some very unfortunate things come to light. Alternatively: the gaang

Summary
Zuko pulls away first. He stares at Sokka and raises his one brow.
“You do realise,” he says dryly, “that you just instigated a major international incident?”Or: Sokka is impulsive. This is a problem. Especially when he ends up kissing the Fire Lord and immediately running away.
Rated T for swearing.
