Summary
“Aang? I’m not going to let them take you away from me,” Gyatso said without preamble, walking into the room.
He watched as Gyatso took in the scene: the note on his bed, Aang fully dressed and standing at the window with his glider clutched tight, ready to leave. Gyatso’s eyes widened with the realization, and the look he shot Aang, so full of heartbreak, made his cheeks burn with shame.
“Aang?”
Aang’s shoulders sagged. Of course Gyatso wouldn’t let them send him away. For a moment, all he felt was relief. And then he dropped his glider with a clatter on the ground and rushed towards Gyatso, still standing in the doorway with his hand resting on the post. He wrapped his arms tight around his teacher’s waist and pressed his face into the warm woolen robes.

Aang stays. The world changes.

Summary
From as far back as Azula could remember, Zuko had been there. He was there for her first word, her first steps, her first everything. When Mother had taught her the meaning of a ‘parent’, she had thought that Zuko held that title for her. Azula had thought that Zuko was her father. It made sense! He cared for her, kissed her scraped knees, and held her during scary thunderstorms. He would smile at her with that crooked smile that was slightly too high on his right side, causing his eye to crinkle at the edge.
But Zuko was not her father.

Summary
The last thing he remembers is being struck by Azula's lightning on the fateful day of the comet, but when Zuko opens his eyes he is faced with an Avatar's innocent question of friendship. Has he failed at bringing balance to the world or is this the Spirit's giving him another chance?
All he knows is he's not going to mess it up this time.
