    Summary

    Bill Cipher begs the Axolotl for a second chance on the verge of death. The Axolotl agrees, like the bleeding-heart idiot that it is. All Bill has to do is pass a little trial. How hard can that be for a dream demon of unfathomable cosmic power?

    He wakes up in 1979. And he is not a dream demon of unfathomable cosmic power.

    Summary

    Bill dies, and then comes back.

    This is only the beginning.

    -OR-

    I make Bill suffer to teach him about humanity and junk

    Summary

    His clothes are way too big. He’s been kidnapped by a monk, but somehow the fact that he’s tripping over his tunic and boots is the more troubling part. The monk, who introduced himself as Aang, seems harmless for the most part. The monk is carrying a set of swords, but he’s carrying them wrong. Zuko has only been studying under Master Piandao for a year now, and he hasn’t been allowed to touch a sword in that time, but he knows that much at least. They’ve been walking for hours. The area isn’t remotely familiar to him, which is the only reason he hasn’t taken off yet. That and the monk is strangely quick on his feet. At least he’s a chatterbox. When Zuko does decide to make his escape, he’ll probably be able to hear the boy coming a mile off. He’s only six, but Mother and Father had told him this day might come, and what exactly to do when he was kidnapped.

    Summary

    Iroh accepts, mournfully, that it's going to be a long, long time before Zuko ever feels safe again.  If Zuko ever feels safe again.  Because of that, because Iroh thinks he already knows the reason for his nephew's silence, he doesn't look closer at just how quiet Zuko has been since waking. 

    Iroh should have noticed.

    He wonders, later, if this, too, is his fault.  If something he said while his nephew was still drifting, barely aware of his surroundings, had struck deeper than he meant it to.  If even something as simple as a well-meant shh, Zuko, shh had a hand in this. 

    If Iroh had somehow taken his original mistake and deepened it, rather than trying to make up for it.

    (If this is the shape of the scar that Iroh left on his nephew).

    Summary

    Some people are born with soulmarks. Zuko has them, but his grandfather burned them off because they "make you weak."

    Team Avatar has a few things to say about that.
