    Summary

    “You knew Ichiro way back then, right?”

    Sasara stumbles back and visibly pauses. Which is strange since Rosho didn’t think he asked anything too complicated.

    “Yeah, that’s right…” Sasara concedes. “It was a long time ago, though, nothin’ to be dwelling on!”

    “You knew Samatoki too, right?” Rosho tries again.

    Sasara plays with the sleeve of his shirt. “We’ve crossed paths.”

    In other words: Rosho wants to know about Sasara’s past. Sasara doesn’t want to touch that subject.

    The issue is a little more complicated than either of them think.

    Summary

    [I miss you, he sometimes screams at his mother. She isn’t there, though. She left him, just like everyone eventually did. I miss you so much it feels like my heart is on fire and I can’t put the flames out. I miss you so much I’m worried my heart will scar like my face did.
    I always knew my heart must be ugly. I never thought it would be because of you.

    He loves his mother, for caring for him, keeping him safe, saving his life against his father.
    Sometimes he hates her for it, too.
    Sometimes he hates her for saving his life by leaving.]

    Or, Zuko learns to heal and finds a family along the way.

    Summary

    After the war, Toph has nightmares. The screeching of metal, Sokka and Suki's screams, the snap of Sokka's leg as it broke from their fall. It's usually his confession that they aren't going to make it that makes her wake up in a cold sweat. She's anxious all the time now, unable to find peaceful sleep.

    The cure is apparently to hold hands with her friends for all hours of the day and hope that they're cool with it.

    Summary


    Recent census results show the most popular boy’s name in the year following the end of the war was Zuko. After the kind, generous, gentle, warm Firelord Zuko.

     

     

    “You can’t be serious.”

    Azula laughs with her whole body, though she can’t laugh in many other ways with her arms bound across her chest. But she laughs, with amusement, almost with joy.

    A census is taken a year after the end of the war and Zuko is not a fan of the results

    Summary

    Toph will happily admit that she genuinely, honestly, likes Zuko. She has told her friends this repeatedly. She thinks Aang is starting to get it, but that’s because he’s realized Zuko is probably one of the only firebenders that won’t try to kill him on sight.

    She would never admit it, but she sees herself in the way that Katara and Zuko argue, in the way Zuko never seems to fully understand what Sokka is trying to say, and in the way even now she still feels her temper flare with Aang. It reminds her, weirdly, a lot of herself in the early days of their little adventure, where she was still trying to find her footing.

    (A look into Toph and Zuko’s friendship between The Western Air Temple and Sozin’s Comet.)
