Sokka: You have no sense of humor.
Azula: I do too! I just happen to prefer dark humor to silly puns.
Sokka: Dark humor… is that some sort of Fire Nation thing?
Azula: No, idiot. *sighs* How can I put this in a way you’ll understand?
Azula: You see, dark humor is a lot like food. Some people don’t get it.
Sokka: …
Sokka: Be my girlfriend.

Azula Week Day 7: AU of Choice

(Artwork by @gavalanche-presents)

(Continued from Day 4 – Azula as the Avatar AU)

The ponytailed boy ran over to his club and picked it up, shouting and charging toward the princess once again.

Azula swiftly dodged the warrior’s wide swing and hurled him forward, causing him to land on his butt in the snow.

He was forced to quickly dart from his spot as the Avatar fired a blast at him. After spinning to the side, he tossed his boomerang at her.

Having barely managed to avoid getting hit, she glared at him. Just as the weapon was about to strike her in the head on the return, she blew it away with a gust of air.

Some guards went to apprehend the boy, but Azula signaled for them to stop.

“I WON’T LET YOU TAKE MY SISTER!” he snarled, standing with defiance.

“Oh yeah?” she laughed. “You and what army?”

A Water Tribe toddler cried, “SHOW NO FEAR!”

The warrior chuckled nervously, his cheeks flushing.

“That’s what I thought.” The princess turned to leave.

“Wait.” He sighed. “Then take me as your prisoner.”

“Sokka, no!” his mother pleaded.

He bowed his head and offered his wrists in submission.

“Hm.” The Avatar marched up to him. She couldn’t tell if the boy was brave or foolish or what, but she admired how far he was willing to go to protect his sister. Spirits knew her brother would never do the same for her. She placed a finger beneath his chin and lifted it, forcing him to look into her eyes. “Very well.”

“R-Really?”

“You will serve as my personal bodyguard – that is, if you agree to obey my every order.” She smirked.

“I will.”

A wild look in his blue eyes told Azula otherwise. “Good.” She knew the boy was trouble, but as for how much trouble exactly, only time would tell.

Azula Week Day 2: Motherhood

(Artwork by @gavalanche-presents)

The sound of shattering glass broke Azula’s concentration. So much for breathing exercises. Ever since the kids had entered her life, getting even a half hour of tranquility was a gift. Nevertheless, her children were her little treasures, and with her husband, Sokka, away at a council meeting, she was left alone to deal with their shenanigans.

She walked into her son’s room to find the young firebender creating a makeshift home for his pet firefly-fish. Servants were already scurrying to pick up broken glass from the soaked carpet. The perks of being royalty.

“She tired to murder my fish!” Koda cried, pointing at his little sister.

“I did not!” Arika insisted.

“Okay, okay.” Azula took a deep breath. “What happened?”

“We were fighting and his fish bowl toppled over and broke,” the non-bender started, “but I didn’t do it!”

“Yes she did!”

“I wasn’t even near it!”

“Then a ghost must have done it,” the boy groaned sardonically.

“You’ve got to believe me, momma!” Arika looked up at her with wide, pleading blue eyes.

“I want to, sweetheart, but…” Azula sighed. “You were pretty jealous when your father and I agreed that Koda was old enough to have a pet – ”

“Yes but – ”

“And fish bowls don’t just move on their own…”

“YOU ALWAYS TAKE HIS SIDE!” she shrieked.

That stung. “No honey, that’s not – ”

“IT’S BECAUSE HE’S A FIREBENDER, ISN’T IT?!” She clenched her hands into tiny, furious fists.

Suddenly, the water on the carpet turned to ice.

Koda’s mouth dropped.

Azula froze. A waterbender! Her daughter was a waterbender!

“I…” Arika’s eyes filled with tears. “I didn’t know… I didn’t mean to – ”

Azula threw her arms around her daughter and hugged her tightly. “I know, sweet girl.” She stroked her back. “I know.”

Azula Week Day 5: Fire and Water

(Artwork by @gavalanche-presents)

“Whoa. Y-You look…” Sokka was breathless. “…beautiful.”

Azula smiled softly. “You clean up nicely yourself. For a water peasant, that is.”

“Yep,” he grinned, “I’m pretty irresistible.”

She rolled her eyes.

He laughed. “Well then… ready to execute our plan, milady?” He extended her his arm, which she happily took.

“Let’s do this.”

The plan was simple really. It had kind of started as a joke. Sokka, feeling bitter that he had to serve as co-Best Man to the man who stole his girlfriend and then proposed to her six months later, and Azula, feeling pathetic that she didn’t have a date to her own brother’s wedding, decided it would be funny for them to go together. It certainly would annoy their siblings, which was a plus, but ultimately they decided not to be so petty.

That is until they found out their friends were taking bets on which of the two of them would end up ruining the wedding. That’s when they really decided to go for it.

They spent the entire night dancing, laughing, gazing into each other’s eyes, and especially reveling in all the stares from their friends and family. Finally, it was time for the last song of the evening.

“Who knew a snow savage could be so suave on the dancefloor?”

“Only with the right partner,” the swordsman smiled before dipping the firebender.

“Sokka…” She blushed. “I… I had a lovely time with you tonight.”

“Me too – ”

“It was fun to play pretend,” she whispered.

“Well… maybe… we don’t have to pretend?”

She choked. “R-Really?”

“Really,” he breathed against her lips. That’s when he kissed her.

“ARGH!” Katara shrieked with disgust, accidentally melting all the decorative ice sculptures.

“Huh.” Toph smirked. “So Sugar Queen ruined the wedding. Guess we all lost the bet.”
