Summary
In the mornings she wakes up before Scott and makes him a pot of rose tea, home-grown in the garden; in the afternoons they fish or garden or do their laundry, chores made more cheerful by company; in the evenings she curls up and dozes off to the soft sounds of Scott flipping another page in his book by the guttering candlelight.
Pearl and Scott, living at the end of everything.

Summary
Camila sits down on the couch and grabs disinfectant, beckoning her over. Luz plops down next to her.
“Close your eyes,” Camila says, and passes a soaked pad over her face. Luz winces, but doesn’t move. She has a little nick through her eyebrow, now. Camila smooths band-aids over the cuts, hesitates, and pulls Luz to her chest.
“I’m so happy you’re safe,” she whispers. Luz wraps her arms around her too. “Trust me, so am I,” she laughs, a little wetly.

Summary
Sokka looked around the throne room with interest. “I always wondered what the world was like from up here - must be nice looking out at your adoring subjects.”
“Being the Fire Lord is pretty dull,” Zuko said glumly, "unless you enjoy hearing people bicker about taxes. After a while, thwarting the occasional assassination is basically a form of stress relief."
In which Fire Lord Zuko and Ambassador Sokka get drunk, go fishing, watch theatre, uncover a conspiracy, visit a teahouse, destroy a historical monument, and reckon with the painful legacy of the past – but not necessarily in that order. [PODFIC AVAILABLE]

Summary
Sokka's expression is caught somewhere between determined and pissed off when he says, “I know you think this is your responsibility. But you’re not going to be alone in this. This is why we’re building you a council.”
“I know,” Zuko says.
“And the only way you’re going to die having done nothing but sit in meetings is if you let yourself do that. You’re not a bad leader if you take a break now and then.”
Zuko scowls. “What, so people can then say at least my father wasn’t lazy?”
Sokka tilts his head. “Don’t you think there’s a difference between laziness and, I don’t know, choosing life and happiness in spite of a terrible dad who tried to take both from you?”
----------
Zuko is sixteen years old when he’s handed a crown, a throne, and a hundred-year ancestral legacy of colonial imperialism. He’s not scared of the work; he’s scared of being consumed by the responsibilities and burdens he’s claimed. What Zuko doesn’t quite realize, yet, is that he’s not alone in this.

Bookmarker's Notes
really well written political fire nation post canon, with a side of zukos personal relationships and how that intersects with his role as fire lord, and a really well done and softly written slow discovery of liking men as well as women
