*bounces* Thank you! I love this! Iroh takes the best revenge. Tea-based, of course.
Your descriptions are wonderful -Zhao seeing Zuko's face in the agni kai, the way the Blue Spirit moves across the ceiling, the moment where they actually do meet and look each other straight in the eyes, brrr. I love the glimpses of ship life. And every Iroh moment, you write a wonderful Iroh. Did I mention the tea-based revenge?
Zhao's slide into not-quite-madness-but-getting-there is slow but oh so fine. With him being as, well, strangely attuned to spirit doings as he is, I can see him being quite susceptible to this sort of manipulation.
He’s thinking back to all the scrolls he studied in the Spirit Library, the ones that described the thin veil between the living and the dead and wonders if ordering the boy’s murder gives him some kind of power over Prince Zuko’s spirit. He relishes that thought and steps closer to test the idea.
This might be my favorite idea in this whole lovely fic. He would believe that, he really would. Maybe Iroh would have cut back on the moonflower a bit if he knew Zhao was using his hallucinations for lewd purposes :P
