Summary
“Take this as a learning opportunity. Someday, when you’re expecting your own child, you’ll be looking back on my way of handling things,” Michi had said.
The mere thought of ending up just like her mother made her shudder. Being her spitting image was bad enough. But now, Mai could imagine passing on their shared features—the same slanted eyes, sharp chin, down to the same perpetual frown.
Or
How Mai’s perspective on children changed over the years, from Tom-Tom to Izumi.

Summary
“Oh spirits,” Azula says, grinning widely. The Water Tribe is full of idiots. “You don’t want to marry Zuko, he’s useless. Also, he’s already engaged.”
“He is?” Yue blinks at her.
“Of course he is, he’s going to be the Fire Lord, he’s been engaged since he was twelve,” Azula says. A useless Fire Lord who she’s going to have to prop up, if not outright usurp, but Fire Lord all the same.
The things she does for this family, she swears.

Summary
It doesn’t take long for the rumors to start.
The Fire Nation prides itself on its civilization. It isn’t like the other, lesser, nations who throw their children away by sending them into war. Those uncultured and unfeeling savages who are destroying their own future faster than the Fire Nation can save them from themselves.
Every Fire Nation child goes to school. They learn reading and writing, the illustrious history of their country, and what will be expected of them as proper, upstanding Fire Nation citizens. They are to be protected, because children are the future glory of the nation.
The crown prince is thirteen when his father burns his face in front of an audience of hundreds.
