Summary
Serving in the Fire Lord's palace promoted a realistic sense of caution, of fear. Servants who caught the eye of those in power often didn't have happy endings. After Ozai and Azula, and Azulon and Sozin before them, there was no reason not to believe that the newly-crowned Fire Lord Zuko didn't also share the little family tradition of cruelty to servants. After all, everybody knew that he had challenged his own father to a duel, that he had a short temper, that he was a powerful bender, that he had hunted the Avatar for years before dethroning his sister.
So when serving-boy Shin starts being watched by the Fire Lord, he naturally assumes the worst. Of course, Zuko is nothing if not Extremely Awkward, and ohAgniwhyisthatservantsocute?

Summary
Bao lost his ability to walk when he was 19. Despite the prejudice of many Fire Nation citizens, he got a job as an accountant in the Royal palace, in the Department of Education. After 11 years of working quietly, keeping his head down and allowing his work to be claimed by others, he expected nothing to change when Fire Lord Zuko took the throne. He didn't expect the entire department to be reformed under the new Minister Shu-Lin, and Bao's overlooked position with it.

Summary
When working in the Fire Lord's private garden, Chaishu is knocked over by someone who doesn't seem to understand the danger of loitering in such a place. The stranger, Lee, seems nice enough, if a little detached from reality, but after bumping into each other a few more times, Chaishu is surprised to find himself looking at a genuine friendship unfolding.
Well, perhaps not 'looking'. After all, Chaishu is blind.
