Summary
Zuko had scrubbed the smell of sex and blood of himself, but that didn’t stop it from clinging to the inside of his nose. Could the others smell it? Could they taste his shame in the back of their throats too?
Irrationally, Zuko wanted to crawl inside himself. Peel those watching eyes off him; don’t look at me! They knew, somehow. They could see it on him. Some kind of tell, some stain he couldn’t see or wash away.
What if they all knew? Laughing behind his back at what he’d given up just for a fraction of a chance to get his honor back.
What honor? Any scrap he’d had left after the Agni Kai was lost the moment he spread his legs for Zhao.
They could all see it, couldn’t they?
Zuko wondered if he could ever be rid of the things Zhao did to him.
Zuko deals with the aftermath.
He goes about it the same way he deals with every other shitty thing in his life: with gritted teeth, stubborn pride, and a whole lot of yelling.Series

Summary
Things Jet packed for a four-day private cruise with Zuko: a nice shirt, a book, a painkiller for the headache that won't go away.
Things he did not pack: robes, a working sense of self-preservation, and the answer to the question: what on earth was he doing here?

Summary
He opened his mouth to reassure his uncle, to tell him that he’d be able to start running in just as second, just as soon as the world stopped spinning, but instead all he muttered was, “I’m tired.”
When Iroh brushed against the back of Zuko’s head the pain there abruptly muscled to the front of Zuko’s list of issues, and he gave a loud groan. Iroh pulled back quickly, but Zuko could see that his hand was now dripping with blood.
“Then you should rest, Prince Zuko,” Iroh said, his voice calm and controlled, which would’ve been very nice if the lines of concern on his face hadn’t been so obvious. Zuko watched blearily as Iroh began to look sharply around them, apparently assessing something. “A man needs his rest.”
The world started getting hazy again, but the lack of attempted movement was a slight improvement. A series of shouts pulled him back from the creeping numbness, and Zuko forced his eyelids open.
Iroh was waving his arms, signaling to someone. “We surrender!” Iroh bellowed. “I am with the Crown Prince of the Fire Nation, and he needs a doctor!”

“Hakoda, can I… buy you a drink?”
“Actually,” a deeper, rumbling voice says from behind him. “I’ve got it covered.”
“Zuko,” Hakoda says. “This is my husband, Bato.”
