Summary
Suddenly, something tugged at the arm of his robe and he startled, nearly dropping the bread he was holding. He turned around, ready to defend himself but he froze when saw the young girl staring down at him where he was kneeling by the pond.
”Can you help me find my mom?” She said, her fingers gripping the fabric of his sleeve tightly, eyes big and bright.
Zuko blinked.

Summary
Zuko feels like he’s going in circles. He is incomplete, inside and out; he is dishonorable, a deplorable monster.
His shame only worsens when they stop at a port and he realizes, with an overwhelming, guilty nausea, why he’s never liked Mai the way he knows he should have.
or: zuko’s journey to unlearning the guilt of love
(can be read as a stand-alone!)

Summary
He knows he's afraid, and sometimes it doesn't mean anything at all and he can go about his days without even thinking about it. Sometimes he goes months without thinking about it. He's thinking about it now, though. It's burrowing through his brain, under his skin.
He wonders if he's afraid of Hongjoong too, the way he is afraid of everyone when it comes to this – including himself.
Especially himself.

Summary
"Demonizing Yuji won't make him any easier to kill."
Shoko does not walk around a point; she barrels towards it and leaves Satoru to pick up its pieces. But not for this. Satoru’s hands are red enough already, let him leave this where it lies.
His voice gives, cracking in two when he finally gathers the strength to whisper, “It might.”
“It didn't with Suguru.” Mentioning Suguru is taboo, like fucking in the pews of a church before marriage, semen running down the bride’s legs before she’s made a wife.
“He was different,” he tries.
Shoko turns around, pinning him under brown eyes that have no give. “Why? Because his choices were his own and he still picked the wrong ones?” She leans back against the counter. “Or because you were in love with him?”
Satoru imagined an eternity for them stretched out like the horizon. He never saw the end until it greeted him with a hole in its chest and at least curse me a little at the end on its lips.
“The love is different,” Shoko says, “but the pain will be the same.”
In all the worst ways, Yuji is just like Suguru.
