He also explains what it would mean for Zuko to help restore the Library and seems open to allow the prince back as he informs the youth that the Library is moving around the Si Wong desert.

* MyGreatestFailure
MyGreatestFailure: For Yangchen, it was her failure to come back from the Spirit World in time to save her beloved Akari and her friend Huizhong's lives from assassins bent on killing the Avatar. Worse, Fire Princess Akari's demise prompted the Fire Nation to start mistrusting the Avatar, something that later snowballed into the Air Nomads' genocide.
* NeglectfulPrecursors
NeglectfulPrecursors: The Avatars unfortunately tend to leave a big mess for their successor to clean.
** The Earth Avatar before Kyoshi believed the Fire Nation didn't need intervention, so he neglected her for the three others. It forced Fire Avatar Szeto to focus on his birth nation's great struggles, and the rest of the world suffered for it.
** Yangchen was far too trusting and convinced that people would respect their pacts with spirits, forcing Water Avatar Kuruk to hunt far too much dark spirits. Her perceived "betrayal" towards the Fire Nation -- she failed to save Princess Akari's life -- also seeded the mistrust that would later destroy the Air Nomads.
* OffingTheOffspring
OffingTheOffspring: What Ozai wants to do with Zuko, as he believes the boy is too soft. He takes after her granddad, since Sozin murdered his own firstborn son and heir for sympathizing with Roku's ideals.
* PoorCommunicationKills
PoorCommunicationKills: Iroh wants to open his nephew's eyes and make him understand the Fire Nation is digging itself into a cycle of violence and blood. Zuko wants for his uncle to accept his admiration towards Avatar Yangchen and that the Fire Nation is lying about the war. Neither can bring himself to bluntly talk to the other.
* ShrinkingVioletShrinkingViolet: Ju Long is terrified by other people, to the point he needs Bun Ma to watch over him.

* DorkKnight
DorkKnight: Oh, Zuko. He will fight you with flame and dao, and he will gush over Yangchen whenever you give him the opportunity to do so. He outright braved the Si Wong desert in order to find the Wan Shi Tong's library and read as much as he wanted.
* EntertaininglyWrong
EntertaininglyWrong: As Zuko travels all around the world, his curiosity about a former Avatar and the new bending techniques he unlocks lead people to believe he might be the Avatar.
* FlingALightIntoTheFuture
FlingALightIntoTheFuture:
** Princess Akari ultimately couldn't fulfill her destiny of bringing ''lung'' dragons back to the world, so the egg she found was kept hidden in the Western Air Temple for the right person to hatch it in her stead.
** Yangchen's diary ends up with several notes of her friends and companions, hoping that a descendent of Akari is reading them and has learnt the truth about the former Air Avatar.
* FriendToAllLivingThings
FriendToAllLivingThings: Zuko really loves his beasties, to the point his crew is actually betting on him having a zoo in his bedroom. He's mainly preoccupated with his dragon egg's wellbeing, but he also dotes on flying gerboas and knowledge-seekers from Wan Shi Tong's library.
* GenderBlenderName
GenderBlenderName: Huizhong first was a male name, only for the transgender Earthbending teacher to Yangchen to make it heavily popular for girls.
* HeroWorshipper
HeroWorshipper: The more Zuko learns about Yangchen and Akari, the more he will gush over them to anyone in his surroundings.
* ItRunsInTheFamily
ItRunsInTheFamily: The Fire Nation royals tends to have sane, reasonable firstborns that disapprove of disunity between the four nations. It tends to end badly for the poor suckers.
* LazyBumLazyBum: Bun Ma's work ethic is to nap on the job. Zuko has to harass her a lot before she decides to put some effort in being a soldier, and she's not enthusiastic about it.
* MasculineFeminineGayCouple: Siniq the Northern Water Tribe ActionGirl and Huizhong the gently-raised, always dolled-up aristocrat.

''[[https://archiveofourown.org/series/1791460 Learning to Fly]]'' is an ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' fanfiction series written by starofjems on Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn.

Zuko's journey through the years leading up to Aang's awakening. Three years is a long time, especially for a young teenager, even more so for a young teenager that discovers an ancestor's destiny to carry through.

Starts as canon, only to progressively dip into AU territory.

!Contains the following tropes

* AwfulTruth: There was ''no'' Air Army, only Air Nomads. What the Fire Nation did was destroying a whole people out of lust for power.
* BigotryException: Wan Shi Tong allows Zuko to enter his library in spite of the owl's distaste for humans as a rule and firebenders as too destructive, because the boy genuinely wants to learn for his self-improvement and promises he will help to restore and supply the library.
* CastFullOfGay: The Yang-gang. Yangcheng and Akari were lesbian and head over heels for each other, Huizhong was a male-to-female transgender.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: Yangcheng and Akari met when they still were preteens, and married after Yangchen was acclaimed as the fully realized Avatar.
