AU Mini-Meme

[beckyh2112]

I am nothing if not open to peer pressure. At least as long as it's telling me to do something I already wanted to do anyway.

Stealing a mini-meme idea from the lovely suzukiblu: AU mini-meme! Pick a character or characters, an accompanying mood or lyric, and an alternate setting/genre, and I'll scribble you something. Pharoahs, Green Lanterns, high school

...a horrible thought just occurred to me. If you haven't played D&D or read Salvatore feel free to ignore this, but- Zuko as Drizzt/Avatar in the Forgotten Realms?

(only with less angsting- I like Zuko's angst, it's nummy, but Drizzt himself bugs me)

*LOVES Drizzt and the drow*

Pffffpht, drows.

*Illithid fangirl, though drows are PRETTY.*

Drow are fucking amazing on the sadism and torment front. LOOK. LOOK WHAT URSA DID TO OZAI.

Look at the fact that I have a storyline involving Matron Mother Ursa needing more daughters and Ozai not being able to give them to her. So she buys copper elf!Hakoda and Kya at the slave market and sacrifices Kya to Lolth for a spell to get a pure-blooded drow child from Hakoda.

I KNOW. IT'S BRILLIANT AND SCARY. And it is why Ozai should be very happy Ursa is kinder than he in normal verse.

... D: Kya.

*Still likes Mindflayers, better, but they'd be horrible for FN AUage.*

They'd be the Dai Li, I think.

... Because we all want a Long Feng who can rape your mind and rewrite you. GAH. GAAAAAAH.

At least as humans they only do it with lightbulbs.

[beckyh2112]

Yes. They need more setup. AND THEY DO NOT ENJOY EATING THE BRAINS OF OTHER SENTIENTS.

Drow: Zuko

[beckyh2112]

(Kind of had to wing it on some details since I can't find my copy of the Dark Elf trilogy.)

***

Zuko was the firstborn child of Matron Ursa, a worthless son. His sister never let him forget that he was a sign of Lolth's displeasure with their mother, a permanent reminder of her insult in taking Ozai to bed when she should have fed his heart to the goddess.

He didn't know how his mother made up for that insult, because his father still lived and served as House Patron. He didn't know how Matron Ursa gained enough favor with Lolth to have a daughter from Ozai.

He didn't want to know. He didn't want to know why his father's mouth was sewn shut, or where the other scars had come from. They gave him nightmares, the pale runes on ebony skin, and the ragged, ugly circle around his heart

Oh wow. That is creeptacular.

I was half-way expecting Ozai to be genderflipped, but this works wonderfully.

[beckyh2112]

I'm glad you liked it!

Genderflipping Ozai would have been way too easy and taken out a lot of the creepy. Way more fun to play with the drow matriarchal society with everyone in their proper genders.

Poor Zuko. *cuddles him*
