    Summary

    “Before the two boys knew it, their hearts suddenly began fluttering every time they spoke to one another. Suddenly, they couldn’t look each other in the eyes without blushing furiously and stumbling over their words. Suddenly, they felt the need to always be around each other; be closer, hold hands, hug.

     

     

     

     

    Kiss.”

    Summary

    “I’m going to go practice some firebending forms,” Zuko says stiffly, running a hand through the tangles in his hair. “Tell Aang to join me if he wants to once he wakes up.” Gold eyes dart up to where Aang had strung up a makeshift hammock and was still sleeping soundly, snoring like a buffalo yak.

    “Alright,” Sokka says, watching as he walks out without another word, evidently having reverted back into his usual brooding self. “Have fun!” He calls after Zuko loudly, which he means to be sarcastic, but comes out painfully, embarrassingly sincere. His face burns, and as soon as Zuko passes out of sight into the the temple, Katara turns to him, leveling him with a Look.

    “You like him.” She says, and it’s not a question.

    Summary

    Iroh insists they create a new life and identity in Ba Sing Se. Zuko wants nothing more than to bide his time until his next opportunity to return home, until he realizes ‘Lee’ can get away with things Zuko never could.
    Zuko dons the mantle of the Blue Spirit again only to lose his focus when the Avatar comes to the city. This time, however, his attention is drawn to the annoying Southern Tribe warrior.

    Summary

    Faced with such odd behaviour, Xie Lian couldn’t help but worry. As he took a deep breath to calm himself, a sweet scent suddenly assaulted his nose; an aroma that he was shamefully familiar with. It wasn’t long before he realized that it was coming directly from the man in front of him.

    All of him, really. His breath, his clothes, his hair—Hua Cheng reeked of it.

    “Oh, you’re…” Xie Lian said quietly. “You’re drunk, aren’t you?”

    In an over-the-top show of gratitude, Hua Cheng eagerly downs the whole jug of wine Xie Lian had thoughtfully given to him.
