Ahaha, I just edited the post to add all the reasons I haven't written academic!Zuko yet. (They basically boil down to if I did this right it could totally be like Embers or something, omg and fuck, I AM NOT BUILT FOR RESEARCH NO MATTER HOW AWESOME IT IS.) XD
Iroh smiles to himself. His nephew cannot see it, buried as he is in books and papers and oddly helpful Dai Li supervisors, but Zuko has changed. His inner fire does not burn hot, as his sister's does, nor bright the way it used to, but it is steady now in a way none of them would have thought possible only a year ago. It seems that Ba Sing Se has been good for him.
Yes, he thinks, raising a finger to his lips in warning to Lan and Ming, with a glance at his sleeping nephew. Very good indeed.
