Fics like when the villain falls (the kingdom never weeps)

When a child is conditioned to believe that abuse is normal, anything slightly different is a crime, an abnormality. The child learns that every action has a hidden agenda, that kindness is a ploy to get the upper hand on them. They learn that any sign of weakness is a cause for punishment. They learn that fear will be their biggest enemy and will be the culprit for their death. Zuko was lucky to be born, his father's disappointment. Or; A look into Zuko's childhood and the years following his banishment.
