Avatar The Last Airbender: Fortune Favors the Bold by May Flyer
Fortune Favors the Bold (Iroh/Aunt Wu, Zuko | PG13 | 5,618 words): In their exile, Zuko and Iroh stop at Aunt Wu's village, and Iroh renews an old acquaintance. Hilarious and brilliant. Iroh is both wily and lucky while Zuko, in all the egocentrism of a teenager, sees something he wishes he'd never seen. And I don't know if that scene will ever not be funny because I can just picture the horror on Zuko's face.
Excerpt:
"Surely you must have noticed," Wu chuckled. "You can read it in every move he makes. All that stuff, brittle dignity, and no time for nonsense at all! You've raised yourself Azulon's grandson."
Wu's chuckle transformed into a laugh. "You! Of all people! I could hardly believe my eyes."
"It's not entirely like that," Iroh remarked, trying to defuse Wu's laugher. It didn't work. "He'd got ideas about honor."
"Of course," Wu allowed, with more than a little condescension.
"Don't we have formalities to take care of?" Iroh suggested. The last thing he wanted to do was spend the one night he had with his old flame talking about Zuko. Iroh's nephew would be around to deal with tomorrow, and for many days after that. Adult company was a rare treat for him these days.
