    Summary

    "I suppose I can't blame you," Mai says quietly.

    Her bangs hide her eyes from his view. Her face is an impassive mask. Hurt reverberates through Zuko's chest. This isn't—no—

    It's funny how you notice the absence of something. How you notice something only when it is gone from you.

    How you notice the lack of air when you can't breathe anymore—

    “For what?” he asks regardless. Her drawing up her walls and keeping him out hurts—but he doesn't even know where—and how—to begin addressing that. And as much as he knows her, which, these past days have revealed was not a lot—he thinks she's the same way. Conversations were always difficult for them.

    But this is important.

    So he sticks to what she's already stumbled her way into saying.

    “I'd have come with you,” she says. “If you had asked. But I didn't think Ty Lee would come through for me either. So I can't really blame you for thinking the same of me.”

    Or,

    Zuko attempts to break Mai out of Boiling Rock.

    Summary

    Au where Aang doesn’t almost die so Katara never uses the spirit water on him, and then during the final Agni Kai Zuko is much more hurt and she uses it to save him.

    Toph is traumatized from almost falling to her death and she’s worried about her adoptive brother, and they hug it out.

    There’s also a smidget of Zutara in there for those who want it.

    Rated teen for graphic descriptions of child abuse and a panic attack.

    Summary

    Sokka was well aware of the idea of death, he’d been around it his whole life, especially in the last year. But death had always been an outside force, an arrow in the flank of a Caribou-Moose, a hook in the jaw of a Sword-Nosed-Marlin, a rock to the head, a sword in the gut. He had never thought of it as your own body stopping. Giving up.

    Zuko didn’t give up. On anything. Ever.

    ~~
    or, what if Zuko wasn’t immediately okay after the final agni kai?
