    Summary

    Jet leans a fraction forward more, placing a hand on Zuko’s knee. The heat from the touch hits him sharper than the sea wind and Zuko's eyes snap back up.

    Jet lets himself pause, watching for a flicker of reaction, any sign of retreat— but Zuko doesn’t move.

    Zuko stares, silent, intense, burning.

    “So, are you with me?”

    And Zuko's gaze flickers to Jet's hands, like he hesitates another moment but then— Zuko nods slowly, eyes remain locked on Jet’s now.

    "...yes.”

    Jet exhales through his nose like something clicks into alignment. His grin is impossible to hide.

    _____

    Or: Jet identifies the prince of the Fire Nation on a ferry to Ba Sing Se— it quickly goes downhill from there.

    Summary

    [In another life, Zuko finds a poster for a missing bison outside Pao’s teashop, dresses himself in black, and resumes his mission with the kind of single-minded focus he hadn’t been able to muster for months.

    In this life, Zuko finds a poster for a missing bison, stares at it for a bit with his insides roiling around his heart like a ship caught in a storm, and crumples it up in one hand before tossing it into the trash and going back inside.]

    Sometime during late spring in the city of Ba Sing Se, Zuko serves tea (badly), falls in love (maybe), and deals with a chronic illness of the soul.

    Summary

    When Zuko meets a cocky would-be terrorist on the ferry, he would never have imagined that he would end up losing his first kiss, first love, and first heartbreak to him.

    When Jet meets a scarred, solitary teenager on the ferry, he absolutely imagines it will end in one of their beds, not that his beliefs will be tested to their breaking points.

    Neither is prepared for what the future has in store for them.


    "Please."

    "Say it again. Please what?"

    "Please… don't kill me. Please."

    "Say my name. Let me hear it."

    The blade is pressed harder against his skin, draws the littlest bit of blood.

    "Please don't kill me… Jet."

    Summary

    "Life happens wherever you are, whether you make it or not." -Uncle Iroh
    '~.~'--'~.~'

    On the ferry, Jet thought he'd found a kindred spirit.

    Zuko had the good sense to be wary of making friends in the city.

    It was a passing fascination with one another that had ended the moment Jet spotted previously cold tea steaming in a cup.
    In another world, an evenly-matched fight in the street and an arrest by the Dai Li would be the final time their paths ever crossed.

    This, however, was not that world.
    Somehow, someway, the strings of fate had unwound and rewoven to give their story a different ending.

    Beneath the waters of Lake Laogai, the rocks sent Jet's way did not land a fatal blow.

    Beneath the palace of Ba Sing Se, Zuko made a different choice.

    Each had done things that they were not proud of to get where they were, and life would not be much kinder moving forward. Especially when they refuse to get along.

    Even so, there is comfort to be found when mixing lychee and jasmine.
