Hi, howâs it going? ^.^
Iâm not sure if youâre still taking prompts, but I had an idea for an Azutara scenario.
It would be set post-war, with Azula already living with Katara in the Southern Water Tribe, and planning to formally propose according to Southern Water Tribe customs.
Meanwhile, Zuko has been ruling as Fire Lord for some time, and Mai is currently six months pregnant. For some reason (I didnât really think through the details), Zuko needs to step away for a while, but he canât leave Mai alone to oversee the Fire Nation. Many of Ozaiâs remaining loyalists might try to reach him by targeting her.
So, one of the elder council members , someone who witnessed Ozai training Azula as his heir, suggests that Azula take on the role temporarily, believing she would be capable of ruling for a few months. Uncle Iroh is a bit concerned, but ultimately agrees with the idea (I like the interpretation that Irohâs fear of Azula comes from seeing parts of himself in her).
When Azula receives the proposal, sheâs unsure whether to accept, but Katara encourages her and goes with her to the Fire Nation.
Itâs only meant to be for a few months, but Azula ends up doing very well. She improves conditions in several districts; her more logical and strategic approach balances well with Zukoâs more emotional leadership, making them a strong complement to each other.
Katara even becomes a bit insecure, wondering if Azula might choose to stay and rule alongside Zuko afterwardâbut Azula no longer has any desire to be Fire Lord.
Did you like the idea? I hope it at least inspires some other ideas! ;)
Thank you for the prompt!
