I've decided to make this prompt into a 4 parter. So I hope you'll forgive me when I only upload half of the story today.
Also, the steambabies' names do have meaning. The eldest: Mua Lai's name is Vietnamese for redemption. Zuko had always wanted redemption and his honor and all that so I thought that was a good choice for his first born. Hanzo: I have to admit, I stole his name from Kill Bill. Hanzo is an excellent swordsman so I thought is would fit perfectly seeing as Hattori Hanzo was the best swordmaker in all the land in Kill Bill. Also, it sounds cool. And finally, little Luzi. In Spanish, Luz means light. Fire is a source of light and Luzi is a bright little cutie pie, who firebends, at age 5. Perfect. That is all. Enjoy!
Day 3: Pain
Part I: Intro
After the Southern Raiders, Katara learned Zuko wasn't all he seemed. She learned to share with him, not only items, nut emotions. They shared joy when he became Fire Lord. They shared pain when they found out Zuko's mother, Ursa, was dead. They shared every range of emotion from fear to, eventually love. And soon they shared children. First came Mua Lai. Katara asked to name her after her best friend from the Southern Water Tribe. Zuko obliged. In turn, he named the second child: Hanzo. He was every bit his father's son. The final, somewhat unexpected child was Luzi. Little Luzi was always there to cheer her family up. The one thing Zuko and Katara never hoped to share was their children's pain. They wanted them to grow up without pain. But, they both knew that no life was painless.
