To Lose or To Gain: Iroh's Child - Untrecherous (AtLA Fanfic)

Iroh goes looking for something he can not find.

Disclaimer - I don't own Avatar, the Last Airbender.

Prompt:

Dead Reckoning
(n.) to find yourself bothered by someone's death more than you would have expected, as if you assumed they would always be part of the landscape, like a lighthouse you could pass by for years until the night it suddenly goes dark, leaving you with one less landmark to navigate by-still able to find your bearings, but feeling all that much more adrift.

I originally planned this to be a chapter in To Lose or to Gain: Iroh's Child somewhere around the time Zuko is studying with Piandao, but looking at the above prompt made me realize that it doesn't quite fit into the whole flow of LG:IC, so it became it's own separate one-shot.

Something I forgot to post here that was originally published 7-17-20.
