    Summary

    It is no secret how quickly Princess Azula goes through handmaids. And so when Suyin takes up the position after the previous handmaid left the palace in tears, she doesn't expect her employment to be a particularly long one. But warmth and friendship soon take root in the cracks of the princess' facade, piercing through a loneliness she hadn't even realised existed.

    Mostly canon compliant, but with fluctuations to and from canon, side plots, and divergent character motivations. Significant canon divergence post Book 3 of ATLA (not yet published). This fic serves as a character study for Azula, and explores daily life in the Fire Nation beginning before her introduction in the show.

    Loosely inspired by Fingersmith / The Handmaiden

    Summary

    They were falling, each a mirror to the other’s fate, twirling uncontrolled in the air subject to gravity’s pull. Yet one was saved, Zuko pulled into the saddle of the Avatar’s flying bison as they zipped away. The other remained now, and Azula fell alone.

    “She’s… not going to make it”

    Summary

    As the eldest son of the chieftain he was tasked with protecting the village when his father left to aid in the war. As an older brother, he has to take care of his younger siblings Sokka and Katara. After their mother was killed, too much changed. He didn't have time for fun and games with war on their borders. To keep his remaining family safe he had to close off his heart and train relentlessly for the battle he knew they'd face eventually. The Avatar wasn't coming back. Or at least, that's what Ayaan thought, until a bald kid with blue arrows showed up.
