    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.

    Summary

    According to the history annals of the Republic, the Je'daii civil war between the Sith and Jedi factions was won by the Jedi, defeating the Brotherhood of Darkness and reclaiming the name Je'daii. The Ruusan Reformation disbanded all Je'daii military forces, bringing them under the purview of the Republic, and tasking them with the large job of Galactic Peacekeeping.

    According to the history annals of the Je'daii Order, the Sith won the civil war. The Ruusan Reformation is just one of many ways they have of keeping those who subscribe to the Jedi way of things unable to restart the war. The others are... less pleasant.

    Of course, that just means that the Jedi are even more determined to break free. They've had 1,000 years to come up with a plan. They're ready to break their chains.

    Summary

    Philza: Transatlantic, the Corvarians, all those motherfuckers who couldn’t handle us having a stronghold and good mines, they cut us off from everything in the darkest time of the year. They trapped us in the cold, in eternal night, because they figured if we starved to death, Port-aux-Francais would give them whatever deals they wanted, and they didn’t care who they were fucking killing.

    We were peaceful, before the embargo. We just wanted trade deals, we collaborated with anyone who’d help us build our railroads. We never struck the first blow. After the embargo– after that winter– we figured that wasn’t gonna work.

    Interviewer: So you adopted some new technologies.

    Philza: Yeah, we had innovations in our manufacturing, our greenhouses, our fucking sanitation– but that’s not what you’re talking about, right? Forget the emperor shit. If you’re interviewing me about this, you don’t want to hear about the greenhouses.

    You want to hear about the planes.

    Summary

    Gansu and Sela’s footsteps faded away as Lee tugged on his sleeve. Zuko met the boy’s eyes as he asked, “When my dad goes... Will you stay?”

    Zuko thought about about how, for the first time in a long time, he truly had no one left, and nowhere to go.

    So, instead of moving on, he looked down at the young boy’s shining eyes, so much like the Avatar’s own when he asked that one question all those months ago, and said, “Yes.”
