Fics like kintsukuroi (these golden veins)

Zuko knew he would never be enough, and that was okay. [Because if it wasn’t, he wouldn’t be able to do anything but silently start to break apart. And what use would he be, then?] ------ On Zuko, being broken, and the gold in his life that helped rebuild him. Because like the Japanese art of kintsukuroi, mending broken pottery with gold, he is broken down, and reborn.
