    Summary

    He thought he was so much, Zuko thinks, his eyes never leaving the tapestry. He thought he would be remembered for something great.

    “When Fire Lord Sozin started the war,” Zuko says, voice surprisingly firm, “he destroyed every piece of history that came before him. He rebuilt the Fire Nation under his image, and by doing that, he rebuilt what qualified as truth. He erased everything he considered weak, everything that could be interpreted as a wrongdoing or a failure. It didn’t fit with his narrative of our country. He thought that by destroying the shame of the past, he’d guarantee the glory of the future. And he was wrong.” Zuko takes a deep breath. “I don’t want to make the same mistake as him.”

     

    Or, what it means to make history. Featuring Toph's enthusiasm for destroying property, Aang being allowed to have negative emotions, and Zuko figuring out life.

    Summary

    "We’ll take care of them, and they'll grow up tall and strong. Like baobabs, up until the sky.” Minato pauses. “Maybe without ripping the planet in two. Can you imagine if it split right in between us, and you were standing on one side, and I was on the other? And it split us apart too?”

    “That would never happen,” Yori says, like it’s absurd of Minato to even suggest it. “We could never be apart.”

    “Not even if the world split in two?”

    Yori shakes his head. “Not even then.”

    In which Yori takes up gardening, storms thunder in the distance, monsters do as monsters will, and Minato learns a thing or two about being brave.
