Summary
When he first read it, Hawks wanted to throw up. Aizawa did throw up, he’d heard, and he hadn’t stopped at once. The man had looked more hollow than he ever had before, when Hawks returned to the case. And it made sense.
The letter was deeply, deeply personal. Not only did it hint at the torture Bakugou had experienced in the past 20 days, not only did it (albeit wrongfully) blame Aizawa for the lack of progress, not only did it claim Bakugou had been being abused by his parents everyday he left UA, to an extent that he thought one of the people torturing him was his own mother, but it told Aizawa that Bakugou had been crying for him.
in which bakugou is kidnapped, held hostage, and tortured, before being found on the twenty-first day.

Summary
The wanted poster had the scar on the wrong side.
Maybe he didn’t care enough to look at the poster before it got sent out. Or maybe, Ozai didn’t actually remember which side of his son’s face he had burned off all those years ago. Zuko wasn’t sure what was worse. Ozai had know which side the scar was on. He had to remember. Right?
----
In which Zuko isn't sure Ozai knows which side of his face he burnt off and it sends him spiraling.- Language:

Summary
Zuko goes into exile with a scar, a mission, and a wife.
The girl wears ill fitted ceremonial silks. She is too thin, with jutting bones and hollowed eyes. Dirt smudges her cheek. Her lower lip has a healing split in it. Gaudy as her finery is, she wears it like prisoner’s rags.
All of this Zuko registers in the time it takes him to reach the dais and bow. Every muscle aches with the remembrance of what happened the last time he knelt before Father. This time there is no begging, no roar of the crowd, no burning. Still—Zuko’s grateful to stand once more.
Slipping into soldier’s parade rest, he waits for what will come next, all too aware of the girl’s defiant body next to his.
“I am told that this is Katara of the Southern Water Tribe,” Father says, cruel amusement oiling his words. The phrasing makes the girl sound like a thing. “The last waterbender of their pathetic tribe.” Flames conceal all but his shadow, yet Zuko knows from long experience the exacting blade of his father’s smirk. The smirk he must surely wear now. Because he has built up his insult and now he lets it fall. “Your bride.”
