Our Irohs
The first time we met him, we didn’t realise that he’d slipped into our hearts. And by the time we did, it was too late to do anything about it. We would have fought him had he even tried to leave. But our lovable teamaker was happy to stay right where he was.
He was what all of us dreamed of: an understanding heart. A gentle voice. A vast sea of wisdom to gently guide us through this difficult journey called life. For some of us he was more. And we did to him what you do to someone you truly love. You give.
We thought it cruel that his only son had been taken from him; we reunited them. We wondered about his wife; we gave him loves. We meditated on his close ties to his nephew; we made his nephew his actual son. But still he was there, the same as ever, with his Pai Sho board and his pot of tea.
What were we to do with someone who had gone through so much hardship in his life? Who was such a deep mystery to us still? So of course we created our images of his past. We gave him a Spirit journey unlike any other. We allowed him to see his deceased son. We gave him visions of a future without him to guide our Zukos. We gave him encounters with dragons.
But still, it wasn’t enough. Our Royal kookiness was a Prince, after all. One whose throne had been stolen from him. So we returned it to him. We explored his transformation from guide to warrior with Buff!Irohs. We gave him an army. We gave him a cause. We told of his exploits with the White Lotus.
His son had been taken away; we gave him a brood of children to watch over, guide, advise.
We were not content to give to him the ordinary life he seemed so well suited for. So we gave him... everything. We gave and gave, and he still remained the same. A gentle, loving soul. A teamaker extraordinaire. A matchmaker. A Pai Sho master. A Grand Master. A Pimpmaster.
A Firebender.
A Prince.
A guide.
An uncle.
A father.

As before, I state that the original idea for tributes belongs to Arashi, dementedchris and Punk Manueverability.
Applying them to Avatar fanfics, however, is my baby.
We all love Iroh. Sadly, I haven't read that many fanfics that strongly feature him. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. I do love our "tea-loving kookiness".
Done for Iroh day on Avatar Month.
For the uninitiated, all characters are from the cast of Avatar: the Last Airbender.

Short and sweet, just like Iroh. ^___^ You've captured him, just be sure to deliver plenty of tea while you've got him locked up.
