You know, if anyone else wrote 'ruby arsenic' into a fic I'd think it was some generic Phlebotinum they made up on the spot. When I saw it mentioned here I knew I was headed for a Wikipedia binge on strange and interesting minerals. Realgar, orpiment, arsenopyrite... I love it when I learn from your stories, Vathara!

Oh, *interesting*. I hope you do more with this; I'd like to see if this Zuko can do a better job of things than the canon Zuko. The Zuko-Iroh dynamic was one of my favorite things from the show, I love their interaction here!

Sweet chapter, will there be more?
