hello!!! posting this just in time for @zukka-week (specifically day 4: free day, since it doesn’t really fit into any of the other prompts, though i guess this fic will also focus on pain and healing a lot so it could count for that too), but i’ve had this idea in my head literally since blue neighborhood came out. i don’t even listen to troye much anymore but i needed this to be a thing. each chapter is inspired by a different song off the deluxe edition of BN, going in order of the track list, and they’re sort of out of order because they’re all little vignettes/“glimpses” into zuko and sokka’s relationship at different points in time! the first chapter is the beginning though, and the last chapter is the end (it’ll make more sense as you read each chapter). warnings are in the additional tags. ty for reading! :3
sooooo imma skippin some days bc my brain is swamp rn, and obviously im incredibly late,,,, but here’s some parents cooing over their 2 children for @zukka-week day 4! sometimes i think abt druk protectively curling around izumi, and then iroh junior later… imitating what he remembers zuko and sokka doing when he was but a tiny flame in an egg….. and then i cry……
