The Wall fell, and now it’s up to them to them to pick up the pieces and make something organized with them. The Princess is terrifying, the Head is just plain weird, and Han is never drinking tea again.

sketches of two agents mentioned in Jade lions never sleep
Han is the PoV of the fic. he is the youngest member of the Lake Laogai operations. comes from the lower ring. somehow keeps being amazed by how fucking weird everyone is in this branch of the Dai Li. The Sarcasm Guy™
Xia is an experimented Agent from the intelligence branch. Long Feng used to be at the head of it, but now Azula has named Xia in this position. comes from the lower ring. recruited half the Agents originating from the lower ring. really fucking gay. paperwork ? he doesn’t know her

The Dai Li are a terrifying bunch. Just don’t yell at them…(or they might cry)

Ok, let me explain why this scene is so e brilliant. Yeah, there’s the way we switch back and forth between the Gaang, and Jet getting brainwashed and it’s super creepy and well done.
But, I don’t want to talk about that.
What I actually want to talk about is Long Feng’s line:
In silencing talk of conflict Ba Sing Se remains a peaceful, orderly utopia. 
Yeah, there’s idea of utopia, and the lengths that Long Feng goes to to maintain this twisted idea of what a utopias is. But, here’s the thing: by definition, a utopia  cannot itself exist.
Utopia literally means “no place.” It is impossible. It is imaginary,. It is a figment of our imagination. 
And I really like those sorts of stories that ask “what mechanisms keep a utopia ‘utopia’?”
I guess it’s why I really like Section 31 in DS9, and the darker vision it had of that world. 
And I think the fact that the writing team decided to ask itself that very question, and to actually give it to us, was pretty cool.

written for @apollonianism, who a while back requested Kun telling his family he wanted to go into Investigations rather than the Dai Li’s more traditional role of museum guard.
this turned out to be less of Kun-telling-his-family and more a snippet of Kun-after-the-family-is-already-aware, and also Kun & Hoang cuz I love those two. but I hope you still like it!
no plans for publishing this to AO3 or FFdotnet yet… hope you enjoy!
Kun went home early from the university that day instead of staying late to study, because one, studying was boring, and two, he really wasn’t in the mood to watch Sunan and Wenli flirt like dorks over ancient poetry instead of doing the proper thing and making out in the library’s farthest corner like normal people. Going home would probably be no less awkward, the way things were right now, but at least home would give him options beyond studying or groaning at his brother and probable-future-sister-in-law.
