    Summary

    Ozai is a careless leader. She learns this early on, wary of his scathing tongue and biting words, yet intrigued by how he doesn't hold back, even for the sake of diplomacy. This is not how you rule a country. This is how you start a civil war and lose all your allies.

    Azula is careful, she picks and chooses and strikes when the time is right, not before and not after. She realizes that her father is a careless leader, and that, if left to him, the entire Fire Nation will be burnt to the ground. This will not do, Azula will be Fire Lord soon, and a ruler needs her subjects. Logically, the only thing to do in this case is seek the help of her dead brother, traitor uncle, and their miscreant group of friends that they seem to have acquired, including the avatar he was sent to kill.

    basically me giving azula the redemption she deserves bc hell yeah

    Summary

    Azula, his baby sister, the one person he’s never been able to save, who he loathes and wants dead and loves more than anything.

    (A desperate plea for her to join him even though he was already long gone. He’s a coward. He’s pathetic.
    He’s her brother.)

    ---
    Zuko is trapped in the caves with Sokka instead, and ends up joining the Gaang early. Azula goes home empty handed. Somehow, they still find their way back to each other.

    Summary

    Azula, former Princess of the Fire Nation, left the Palace three years ago in order to build up an alliance and take her father down, once and for all. But the world is changing - the Avatar's arrival is both a blessing and a curse, and with him comes a risk she might not be willing to take. Meanwhile, in a Nation more fragmented than ever, Zuko will do everything to cut off his weakness and folllow Ozai's orders - but he doesn't know if he can kill Azula.

    ---

    “It’s always a pleasure to watch destiny unfold."

    Azula sighed, “Destiny will not win a war, Uncle. This is the result of all out hard work.”

    “Ah, but just as we cannot control the skies and seas, sometimes we cannot control the path our lives take.”

    “Tell me, Uncle. Do the tides control the ship, or do I?”

    Uncle laughed, “Point made. Lead on, my niece, but be wary of incoming storms.”

    For a moment, the world was still, and something tense settled on her shoulders. But she shook it off.

    She had the Avatar, and soon she’d have the North.

    Summary

    "Azula’s answering grin is bitter and horrible and broken as she leans in close to Aang’s face and says, ‘Listen Avatar, I can either join your group, or I’ll do something unspeakably horrible to your friends. Your choice.’”

    OR: After Zhao’s failed siege, Zuko and Iroh are captured. A few weeks later, Ozai receives a ransom from the Northern Water Tribe signed in Zuko’s blood. Unfortunately for the Firelord, Zuko’s safety is all Azula cares about.

    OR: Unfortunately for Sokka, that means the Gaang has not one, but two unstable, broken fire siblings to deal with. Y’know. Once they break Zuko out of prison. Because this is not a situation that calls for torture (probably. HE'S still on the fence about it, screw Aang and Katara and their stupid morals and how much he agrees with them)

    Summary

    "There a lot of things about Zuko that the servants ignore. He is half-way between skins now. He shed the old one and hasn’t grown into the new one, trapped between worlds and skins and identities. Some days he feels more like Li the war-child refugee than Zuko, the Fire Lord."

    Zuko attempts to lead his nation into peace, kicking and screaming in protest. He discovers what it means to survive a war- and a childhood- that no one ever wanted or expected him to.
