Summary
Iroh has finally built a life for himself that he loves. He manages his tea shop, making friends with the other business owners on the block, fixing a creative lunch special each day, and doing his best to keep an eye on his niece and nephew.
Piandao moves his karate studio into the empty storefront across the street from The Jasmine Dragon, and finds himself inexplicably drawn to the tea shop, with its homelike atmosphere and pride flags on display in the windows. And to it’s jovial proprietor, suspecting that they have far more in common than meets the eye.
OR
A Tea/Coffee Shop AU with elder queers because we deserve that and so do they.

Summary
Near the end of his first summer at Camp Boomerang, Zuko received an unexpected gift from his Uncle: his mother’s phone number.
It takes over six months for him to work up the nerve to contact her, and several more before she first comes to visit him. Their shared past is messy, and full of the kind of memories that have to potential to shatter the both of them.
Against the backdrop of the Qanitt Family Reunion, with the camp mobbed with Sokka’s relatives, Zuko begins to rebuild his relationship with his mother, who he hasn’t seen since he was still wearing bandages over one eye.

Summary
It’s Zuko’s second Camp Boomerang summer, and as the camp fills with kids again it feels more like home than anywhere has in a very long time.
Sokka braces for a summer season that doesn’t quite feel right. It’ll be Katara’s last summer before going to med school, and she’s spending half of it at an internship. Camp feels…off this year. And Zuko doesn’t need anywhere near the same amount of help he did last summer and…Sokka has no idea what to do with himself.
Azula takes a summer job at the camp, filling in for Zuko in the kitchen with Aunt Wu, as a way to fill the weeks before starting law school. She signs up for a summer job and ends up getting a great deal more than she bargained for.
