Summary
"Zuko had spent the last year since he was crowned surrounded by pompous nobles, practically tripping over themselves to gain favor with him while subtly pushing their own agendas. He was learning their language, but it was a tiring one to constantly be deciphering and translating. Zuko was really, really ready to finally speak with people who aren’t old generals.
He wanted to hear his people’s vices, their suggestions, their feedback on his rule. And he felt ready for anything they had to say."
Zuko holds an open hall and reunites with some people from his past. Featuring the cabbage merchant, Pao from the tea shop, Sensu and Lee, and much more.

Summary
Not even from a certain point of view did Darth Vader kill Anakin Skywalker. He wished he did, but the specter of the Jedi’s light escaped before he could finalize his fall to the dark. Meanwhile, Anakin is raising his son on Tatooine.
It would be easier if:
1) he weren’t a Force ghost nobody but his toddler could see and 2) Obi-Wan would stick around so somebody could teach Luke about the Force. -

Summary
"We're going to be alcoholics by the time we're thirty," Sokka sighed.
"You think we'll live to be thirty?" Zuko asked, honestly thrilled. Sokka had pretty good instincts. Perhaps Zuko should reevaluate his long term goals. He could start by having long term goals.
A more likely alternative was that Sokka was just a hopeless optimist. It just went to show, you never truly saw another man until you stood shoulder to shoulder against a fleet of war balloons intent on raining death upon the city you loved.
Zuko was just a normal guy with normal interests. He liked theatre, burglary, crotchety ostrich horses, watching the Blind Bandit crush her opponents in a glorious display of skill and violence... just your standard banished prince things. It wasn't his fault he kept stumbling into rebellions and uncovering long-buried secrets. Fine, maybe freeing the prisoners was on him, but he was completely innocent of all other treason. Zuko was his father's loyal son. He'd never betray his nation.
Or:
Uncle Iroh took a more creative approach to fostering Zuko's appreciation of other cultures. Now it's everyone's Problem. -

Most people imagine magic reveals involve prophecy and drama.
The Knights of the Round Table discover Merlin’s magic through a series of increasingly suspicious “accidents,” and immediately choose to never speak of it again.
Not because they’re noble—
but because they’ve seen what the forest does when Merlin is annoyed.
