    Summary

    "So you take the knife to the wall instead. You carve and carve until a coin of light appears and you get to look in, at last, on happiness. The eye staring back from the other side—waiting." — Ocean Vuong, Torso of Air

    ***

    When Mai gets a call in the dead of the night from Zuko's uncle about how Zuko hasn't come home since the end of the school day and their breakup, her mind doesn't automatically assume kidnapping. She doesn't think anyone could be capable of making Zuko disappear.

    But then she finds Zuko's shoe hidden in a dirty curb, and she wishes for once that she was wrong.

    Summary

    He’d seen it the day before yesterday, displayed front and center in one of the shop windows they’d passed by.

    A beautiful, felt bowler hat. Onyan had stopped to admire it. He’d said the color was burgundy. To Levi, it looked like a deep red, almost purple. He guesses that’s what burgundy was. Well, he’d been able to tell Onyan wanted it, but then he’d kept walkin’, pushin’ Levi’s chair down the street, and hadn’t said another word about it.

    //

    Part two of This Life, After.

    Levi faces new challenges in his journey toward healing.

    Summary

    At first, Sokka dismisses it.

    He notices, they all do, that Katara feeds Zuko less. A lot less. He notices that Zuko’s portions are often burnt and lacking any care, so even the little bit he does get is barely salvageable.

    Sokka notices, but he doesn’t care.

    (In which Fire Benders need to eat twice as much because they create their own fire. Based off Chapter 17 of "The One Where Zuko's Hair Matches Sokka's and Other Tales")
