    Summary

    A penny for your thoughts, my good sir? Let the light it reflects clear your worries. A burden shared is a burden halved, after all.

     

    They say that in addition to the spirits of the world, there are also guardian spirits that watch over individuals. It is debatable whether everyone has one, or if it is just for people who have caught the spirits’ attention. The former is comforting; the latter definitely is not.

    Sometimes, Iroh wants to find his nephew’s guardian spirit and throttle it.

    --

    Zuko and Iroh try to make a life for themselves in Ba Sing Se, but Iroh never predicted the extent to which the city he laid siege to would go to in order to cover it all up. The crimes of this war pile higher and higher, and if he can't protect the people he loves, it's about time he does something about it.

    ...right after he gets out of prison.

    OR: Iroh's POV during the events of Stand and Deliver.
