Summary:

In the XXXth span of the galactic war against the Phoenix King, the Avatar, Master of the Four Elements, summoned his trusted advisor to his side… Avatar Aang, prosecutor of the long war against the Fire Nation, tasks General Sokka with the recruitment of a secret friend hidden on his old home planet Emptiness II, razed a century ago. There, Sokka finds an impossible community, where peoples from all quadrants of the galaxy have taken root—headed by the Phoenix King’s own son Zuko. As he comes to trust them, Sokka becomes invested in the community. But war is barrelling towards them, and he must harness the spark between himself and Zuko to save Emptiness II… and the rest of the galaxy.

…and what does Iroh think of Geranium’s letters, and does he have any idea who they are?

Assuming you mean Bun Ma and Ju Long lol they're hydrangea 😘

But oh yeah he definitely knows it's Bun Ma (probably isn't aware she's teamed up with Ju Long tho). I think Bumi mentioned that Iroh's written a few times warning Hydrangea team to be careful, but they shot him down haha. He's not surprised by the content of her writings but he's wary of her call to action. Especially since he knows she wants to do it in zukos name.

Since he's under the impression Bun Ma is working by herself (with addition of Ju Long but still essentially by themselves) he expects all of their letters to be theoretical since they need people to implement them and the White Lotus certainly isnt helping them.

I’m caught up!

What does Iroh think of Baijiu?

wooo!!

Thats a good question hmm After Zuko's hijinks with the spirit library (and continued connection with the knowledge seekers who are connected to wan shi tong) and how the swamp basically kidnapped zuko during their stay, Iroh has come to terms with the reality that zuko has a strong connection to the spirit world. I think Iroh mostly thinks of Baijiu as Zuko's strange pet and is just thankful a minor spirit decided to stick to him. On some level I think Iroh is hopeful that if Zuko and the Sazanami have been claimed by Baijiu, there's less chance of other spirits paying attention to them.

a treat to yall is a treat to me ;3 have a quick snippet from today's writing

With a shout, Zuko gathered all his rage, all his resentment, and blasted the ground beside Zhao’s head in an inferno of his released emotions. A soldier hit the gong, signifying the conclusion of the Agni Kai. There would be no denying Zuko’s victory even without stooping to Zhao’s level.

“That’s it?” Zhao sneered from the ground. “Your father raised a coward.”

My father didn’t raise me.

The words came unbidden to his mind, and Zuko almost said them. He tried to shy away from the thought, but it was true, wasn’t it? He was raised by his mother, his instructors, Uncle, his crews. In fact, it was thanks to his crews that he knew a bit of the gossip surrounding Zhao and his rapid rise through the navy’s ranks.

Zuko looked down at Zhao with a smirk. “And Genkei promoted a loser. Hope you gave good enough service to make up for that humiliation.”

Cracks knuckles we got a full set up today boys let's write a scene or two

[fanboyzuko]

wait FINAL CHAPTER, oh my god college is really killing me if I've missed so many updates, I can't wait to read them all together

Oh anon im sorry I missed your ask somehow !! Good luck with college!!! Treat yourself with LTF once your work is done 😘😘😘

[fanboyzuko]

Happy birthday! 🎂

Iv been rereading from the beginning again now on part 13 ,Ch 3 Frazil ice. To remind myself of all that's happened in Ltf in preparation for getting into the cannon horizon!

The fortune Zuko gets in hindsight is really relevant since hes lost 2 crews but made so many friends/allies

I honestly not sure what's to come!but pondered if

Zuko might let hurt feels give his pissy prince persona a similar to cannon route to hide from this third crew that he dose not trust them

Will he attempt a more stealth route "rescue" Aang from his brig (as blue spirit?) to give aang some reason to trust him

or

Will he pull an Iroh just have a chat over tea ?

I put those as questions but i dont want spoilers ^_^

Thank you! 🥰

Ahaha your reread might be a bit soon to be in preparation of canon events but I'm happy to hear it regardless heheh

I'm glad you caught zukos summer solstice fortune!! It was a fun little tidbit I enjoyed fitting in

Haha I won't give answers but hohoho can't wait for you and all to find out 🤭🤭🤭
