Summary:Some time after the events of the series, old friends gather for a reunion at the summer solstice, and Iroh shares a legend about the beginning of the Avatar World.
Author’s note:This "legend" is based loosely on Iroh’s remarks about the elements in "Bitter Work" and on what we learn about the Spirit World at various points in the series. It is not based in Chinese mythology, and it plays a little bit with language from the Judeo-Christian Bible, for fun. It genders the elements in a way that I hope is consistent with the show. Huge, huge thanks to my smart and generous betas, to be revealed at the reveal. The story’s faults are mine and not theirs.
