Summary
Sokka is a man of science, and science says ghosts aren't real. So, he can't be dead... Right?
Too bad science can't explain why the only person who can see or hear him is Prince Angry Jerk.

Summary
[In another life, Zuko finds a poster for a missing bison outside Pao’s teashop, dresses himself in black, and resumes his mission with the kind of single-minded focus he hadn’t been able to muster for months.
In this life, Zuko finds a poster for a missing bison, stares at it for a bit with his insides roiling around his heart like a ship caught in a storm, and crumples it up in one hand before tossing it into the trash and going back inside.]
Sometime during late spring in the city of Ba Sing Se, Zuko serves tea (badly), falls in love (maybe), and deals with a chronic illness of the soul.

Summary
Zuko had never excelled at anything. Azula was a prodigy. Uncle always knew what to say. And Father... Father was strong, iron-like. But Zuko had only ever been good at surviving. Putting one foot in front of the other in a grim show of stubborn determination, gritting his teeth and bearing it. Survival was all he had ever been taught. He knew how to do it. So when he was kidnapped by the Southern Water Tribe, he expected to fight as he always had. He didn’t expect to be taught instead how to live.
In a warring land, the Water Tribe forgave the enemy in an act of defiance. For this, he was torn from them, and this time, his wounds won't heal so easily.
Forced back into nothing but survival, the last person Zuko expected to see was Hakoda's son. Hakoda was a promise of safety. The relentless blue of Sokka’s eyes was a promise of happiness. Zuko could have both if he just reached out his hands, but he found them clutching into fists. After all, he’d been burned one too many times.
But hey, at least between Hakoda and Sokka, Zuko could appreciate the family resemblance of pure, asinine stubbornness.

Summary
After the events of War Crimes, Sokka and Zuko have escaped Zhao’s warship and are fleeing across the Earth Kingdom. As well as unfamiliar terrain, they have to navigate their shared trauma, work out where they fit into the war, and their place in each others lives.
Sokka is aware that being friends with the enemy is going to bring complications, but he probably should have guessed that being friends with Zuko in particular, was going to be a bit like dunking your head repeatedly into a bucket of angry Fire Ferrets.
Katara is also grappling with the confusion of befriending an enemy, something that doesn’t prove as difficult as she had expected with the bond of shared, furious grief bridging old wounds. (Learning a new way to look at her bending doesn't hurt either)
Azula, struggling with the Fire Lord’s mistrust, encounters a few nasty surprises and has to make some difficult decisions. Luckily, she is a great deal better at making sensible choices than her brother.
Her father may have made a slight tactical error.

Smoke and Mirrors, Reimagined by LaoTzu

Summary
“Yeah, you’re right,” Jet bit back, no hesitation. “Didn’t even know your fucking name. Had to learn that from someone else. You know, I liked you, man. I –”
He cut himself off before that thought had time to flower, and he glared at the floor, shaking his head. He wasn’t going to give him that satisfaction. As much as he didn’t want to admit it, it stung. So, he left it just like it was, hanging there in the air.
It seemed to have zapped the energy from Zuko, at least, stunned silent. His gaze fell to the floor, ashamed, and… blushing? And Jet tried to pretend that didn’t make him feel anything at all.
Summary: Jet survived in Ba Sing Se. On his way to reunite with his gang and join the Avatar, he is forced to contemplate his morality. He is pitted against situations that question his understanding of the humanity of the Fire Nation, including the uncertain acquisition of an orphaned Fire Nation baby, as well as being forced to accompany none other than the Prince of the Fire Nation himself.
