Rating: PG
Summary: If it weren’t for bad luck, he’d have no luck at all.
The physician later told him he was lucky not to lose his eye. Lucky. This was lucky?
Before his training in firebending truly began, one of Zuko’s tutors had once taken him to see what happened to those firebenders who lost control. It was months before the smell of cooking meat didn’t make him gag, and there were still some nights when he had nightmares about the wretched creature who had inhaled fire, gasping for every breath with his scarred lungs.
And those had been the lucky ones.
