I never thought I’d say this but Azula x Aang is a pair I never thought I’d ship until I found your blog. The way you present it is just so tempting to see the potential in them. I’m intrigued now and want to read a fanfic of them. Can you link some recs?
i’d love to! caveat: my tastes are peculiar, as with all my my atla ships, so this list is pretty subjective.
the island by themoonfishsummary: After several years of being hidden away in an asylum, Azula is offered a choice: marry the Avatar or die forgotten within the walls of the institution. When Zuko chooses for her, Azula will have to learn to live with the hand she’s been dealt.
(absolute hands down my favorite fic rn! it’s a wip, arranged marriage fic set several years after the series finale, with a devastating perspective on azula’s time at the asylum, and a wonderful rendition of adult!aang who’s both mature and playful. the azula pov is absolutely heart wrenching, and i can’t wait to see how the relationship develops! i cannot emphasize enough how well this fic caters specifically to my tastes. ugh, so good! )
rehabilitation by breeelisssummary: Azula knew how to be nothing else but cruel, tactful, and emotionless. There was no other option. But, as per his track record, the Avatar always had a way of ruining her plans. Aangzula.
(sweet and fluffy and still in character. another great take on grown up aang and azula. they’re both nerds together, and very Soft without being OOC)
non sum qualis eram by quistsummary: He was the Avatar, and married to boot. If they were discovered, her reputation would be in tatters.Years after the war, Azula discovers that some fires cannot be easily quenched, even by the most gifted of firebenders.
(this just started posting, and aang is already married to katara so…whatever happens with him and azula is gonna be scandalous! but it’s a great take on both characters so far, with aang being just a liiiiiitle bit of a playful fuckboy lmao but still in character.)
the fallen princess by war_of_starssummary: She walked slowly up the aisle with vengeance in her eyes, the knife carefully hidden in the folds of her lace sleeves. It would be her final act. Victory snatched from the jaws of defeat. The Avatar would be dead before the dawn.
(another arranged marriage fic! there’s a knife fight in the bridal chamber, zuko and katara are together, aang is an adorable cinnamon roll and azula can’t firebend but doesn’t know why)
the avatar and the fire princess by loopysummary: In an AU born of betrayal, Aang makes the only deal he can to free himself from the prisons of the Fire Nation. But a political marriage to the Princess Azula turns out to be nothing like either one is expecting…
(canon divergent after “The Blue Spirit” and absolutely devastating, but great worldbuilding and political intrigue. aang and azula bond over trying to survive firelord zuko’s court - their relationship is sweet and touching and complicated. aang takes azula flying! be warned though: major character death and dark themes.)
