Summary: It’s like a castle hanging in the sky. Written for the high_born challenge “Castles in the sky.” Spoilers of a sort for ‘ Western Air Temple ’.
The first time Zuko saw the Western Air Temple , he thought (in a brief flash of whimsy) that it looked like a castle hanging in the sky. He didn’t share the thought with his uncle, and he didn’t take the time to appreciate the simple artistry of it’s construction - his mind had been too consumed with thoughts of capturing the Avatar and returning home in triumph.
Now it was his fortress and refuge, where he could hide from both his family and the friends of the Avatar.
It was… beautiful.
He tried to share the idea with those around him, but the others did not care to listen to the ramblings of the banished prince… except for Toph, who listened and teased him for being a hopeless, addled romantic.
Zuko responded by accusing Toph of having no soul.
Toph then informed him that only a romantic would think that way, let alone talk like that.
Then they laughed.
