Summary
Iroh often wonders how a child raised as Zuko was- in pain and rage and cold indifference- could turn out the way he did- kind and gentle and just.
Iroh often discounts himself.
Or: how Zuko came to realize that a father’s love shouldn’t need to be earned.

Bookmarker's Notes
"Jason looked at her, entertaining himself with his favorite game of trying to figure out all traits she had inherited from him. The chin was his, as was the nose. He also liked to believe the black hair was, but that honestly was impossible to say... But those big, blue eyes, had not come from him."
Jason stumbles upon a secret lab where he finds a genetically modified baby, created through a mix of his and Dick's DNA.
Afraid that Bruce will take this child from him, he decides to run away and raise her on his own. (With some help of some powerful amazons). -

Summary
The gently rocking train sang its lullaby along the tracks as it headed purposefully westward. The old conductor, making his rounds, took himself past a small car normally used for transporting the more expensive cargo, like jewelry and fancy European goods earmarked for the San Francisco shops, but on this trip it held ten passengers. Children, orphans from one of the large Eastern cities, were headed towards the promise of families.
Not every child in the car was asleep. The old man heard a tiny whisper from one of the youngsters, barely heard over the clacking of the train's wheels.
"Vin?" He listened for a moment longer, concerned that one of the orphans might be in distress, but moved on when things seemed okay.
"Yes, JD." Vin waited as patiently as his seven years would allow.
"Vin, do you think I could have a pony?" Five year old JD Dunne wriggled closer to his older cousin, trying to get comfortable.
----
First story in the Little Britches universe; where Vin and JD are orphaned children being raised by Chris and Buck.- Bookmarks:
