An alternative story of Zuko's redemption arc.
From the Boiling Rock to the Ember Island Players, an alternate story of how fire prince Zuko became the person he was and earned the trust of everyone through tears and blood...

Let's all agree, Book 3 was short, and Zuko's time with the team was even shorter. I really wanted to see more of them, and their interactions and adventures. The show did what it had to do, and I love it, but I still wanted a slower version. So, when I was rewatching it for the umpteenth time, this came to mind and wouldn't get out. So here I am, putting it out there to share with all of you, hoping that you will enjoy it (and that I finally can think of other things XD).
Also, please keep in mind that it's heavily inspired by theories and fanfics I've read myself.
Warning: This fic contains heavy descriptions of blood and severe injury, as well as topics of trauma and loss. Don't read if you are uncomfortable with them.
Have a great ride.
