wait the events of crescent island also take place on the day of the full moon. thinking about the traditional werewolf au. zuko's really playing fast and loose with his secret there. he escapes before the moon rises, but just barely. and of course, he tracks the moon. he can sense it. he knows the risks when he ignores his uncle's advice.

(it also means when he returns after his failure, he's trapped on his ship for the duration of the full moon. he can't even go above deck. they're still in fire nation waters. he can't risk being seen by someone who isn't a part of his crew.)
