Fics like we'll grow toward the sun, though sometimes it'll be hard

There isn’t any shame in relying in others, Zuko had told her, once. Face soft with sleep, curled up on her bedside in the facility, as she painted her nails in an attempt to stop chewing them. I learned it the hard way. Sometimes you need to hit rock bottom to climb your way back up. And sometimes when you hit rock bottom you break your neck, she’d answered. Why let yourself get that low? It’s difficult to know which way is up and which way is down sometimes, he’d said. Finger tapping his scar. It isn’t the hitting the ground that gets you. Sometimes it’s the fall. Or, Azula takes the long way home. Featuring the passage of time, the life-changing aspects of a field trip across the Earth Kingdom, and making a place for yourself.
