Summary
In an age when every known Southern waterbender has been taken prisoner by the Fire Nation, a storm at sea forces the crown prince to rely on a waterbender who isn't from the north or the south.
Iroh learns to freedive, which will be useful to his nephew in 40 years, and fails entirely to learn the location of the Foggy Swamp Water Tribe, or that imperialism is bad (yet).
An Iroh backstory fic taking place 60 years into the Hundred Year's War. Mysteries to be solved include: how Zuko knew how to freedive into the Northern Water Tribe. How Iroh learned how to sail out of it. The invention of lightning redirection. How the hunt for the Last Dragon went down. What the worst possible combination of two animals could be.
The show wasn't interested in what fully trained adult women waterbenders from the Foggy Swamp might be getting up to in the world, but I am so I did OCs about it.

Summary
“What are you doing here?” Aang asked, a slight hesitation in his voice as he let his guard lower.
Before the firebender could answer, Sokka interrupted, “are you going to ask us to help save Zuko again?”
No one missed the flinch or the look on Iroh’s face before he regained his composure.
“No,” he shook his head, “rather, I’m here to return the favor.”
Iroh looked directly at Aang, then bowed, “it would be my honor to teach you firebending, young Avatar.”
or
Iroh ventures to the Western Air Temple after the eclipse to make sure Aang actually learns some firebending (and then joins the Gaang). Meanwhile, Zuko decides to actually give himself more time to think of a proper apology and delays his own arrival by a day.
