Someday I will actually answer comments and write things and post that mix floating around in my head. Until then:

A FANFICTION PRAISE MEME


Also, Zuko is kind of a bitch to write. I think I'm doing it wrong; Zuko focuses on things. The one time he didn't really have anything to focus on for a long period of time, he got fed up and ran away. And here I am with the premise of 'Zuko settles down in Ba Sing Se and also hangs out with this pair of Dai Li,' which is not really a very good premise. Unless I make him meet them right when he and Iroh get to the city or when Jet's still hanging around.

Anyone got a good timeline of events in Ba Sing Se? At this point, I'll settle for just knowing what order things happen in. I can't even remember if Jet gets arrested before or after Iroh gets the Jasmine Dragon. *facepalm*

Before. Well before, in fact. I think Jet calls out "Li" and "Mushi" fairly early in the arc, when they're working for that smaller shop, and then gets dragged away by the Dai Li and we wonder what happened to him for a long time.

Thank you! Hmm, I always got the impression Jet followed them around for quite a while before he called them out. How long were they in Ba Sing Se? Two or three months, maybe?

Yeah, I think the Ba Sing Se arc lasts for a while in canon time. It's certainly implied that Jet does follow them around for at least a little while before he loses patience and calls them out, but in the grand scheme of the arc, I recall that happening fairly early on. (She says, having watched the series once and having a shaky grasp on the whole thing.)

Have you tried the ATLA wiki? It might have a clearer breakdown of things.
