Summary
Zuko was the son Iroh was robbed of raising, and Iroh was the father Zuko needed.
Iroh lost two sons in Ba Sing Se… imagine how he felt when one returned.
Iroh has his fair share of regrets. But these days, his worst fear is that his beloved nephew is on the path to repeating the same mistakes that doomed their family and nation for the last hundred years. But within the Crystal Catacombs beneath Ba Sing Se, Zuko is forced to make a choice that will decide not just his own life but the fate of the world. Azula gives him an offer he can't refuse where all his dreams and dearest wishes come true... and Iroh has no choice but to let his nephew make the decision that will change the course of the war.
What would happen if Zuko made a different choice that day in the catacombs? What if he ended up traveling with the Gaang across the Fire Nation as they prepare for the invasion? How would things have changed if Zuko had been the one who was supposed to die?
AU world where Zuko makes a different choice in the Crystal Catacombs. My take on a ‘what-if’ Zuko joined team Avatar at the end of Book 2. Basically, what would happen in Book 3 of Avatar: The Last Airbender if I was in charge.

Summary
He wasn't going to let the thoughts win. That part he was sure of, had been sure of since Henry was born, a promise he made in a hospital room to a baby who couldn't understand a dang thing, yet he said it and made a vow: I am not going to do that to you. I don't care what it costs me. You are not going to grow up carrying the thing I've carried.
He hadn't specified the terms, back then, hadn't thought through what "that" would come to mean over the next years, hadn't imagined that the promise would eventually mutate into something with far more tentacles than the original sentence suggested. It became not just I won't kill myself which had been the plain meaning of it, but I won't be seen as anything less than fine, ever, by anyone, because being anything less than fine is the first step down a road that ends in—
So yeah, he wasn't going to do that. But the pressure had to go somewhere. It always had to go somewhere, and he'd stopped, a long while back, believing he had the right to put it anywhere near another living person.
In which Ted Lasso self-harms as a means of avoiding the more permanent solution to his pain.
