I love nagas. I love nagas a lot. (Actually, I like all kinds of human-animal hybrids, as my mermaid, octomaid, selkie, drider, and scorpionman obsessions attest. HOWEVER. Today we are concentratining on nagas.)
This is an Avatar'verse AU where the Firefolk are nagas. For people who need references to what nagas are, I direct you
here and
here.

Aang and Kazon; what the Fire Nagas used to be like before War began.
Ozai/Hakoda; Post-DoBS. Humans fascinate Ozai. Notably handsome water men.
Zhao!La; Dealing with his new and rather NOT Watertribe mortal form. Being half snake when you're really a koi-spirit.
Song and Iroh; Song isn't sure how to deal with a poisoned naga.
Ursa; How does a naga hide with a ruby-black tail?
Lu Ten / Earth Kingdom Man or Woman; The curiosity for humans runs in the blood. The said EKM or EKW can be OC or someone from the series.
Mai/Zuko; venom kisses.
Ty Lee/Haru; Ty Lee thinks muscles are CUDDLY.

He's never seen a human quite like this one before.
She is pale like naga-kind and her hair is smoke-dark. It falls over her face, hiding one eye behind a veil. It doesn't hide her luscious mouth, though. Her clothes are dark and tight, a split skirt hanging around her legs and pants covering them as well.
It seems odd to cover herself twice over there when she freely bares her shoulders. She has very nice shoulders.
She has lovely legs.
She smirks as his tail curls around one leg, ruby scales shining against the black cloth. "That's going to cost extra."

Somewhere, Ozai is going to shoot out and drag his nephew out of there. Not after Lu Ten gets lots of cuddles from June.
I love the little description of the tail going up her leg. It's pretty. ^__^

The nagas only smiled at such stories, for they knew the truth.
They were the humans of the Fire Nation ( ... )

She wonders what her husband would say of her in the small jacket. When she does not wonder at how his spine will sound when she breaks it.
Vicious Mama Cobra is vicious.

Of course, Zhao was a rattler, too, and about all Zuko thought about him was 'oh, Agni, no'. So maybe it was just chance that the two people who he was attracted to happened to be rattlers.
(Or maybe it was because rattlers could make it damn clear that they wanted him, because he knew if Mai or Jee hadn't wanted him, he'd have heard that rattle forever.)
The difficult thing about rattler nagas, which Zuko had learned on Jee and then put the experience to use on Mai, was their fangs. You had to be careful nipping them, so they didn't get the idea they could or should nip back.
Because, yeah, it kind of ruined the mood to have to go get antivenin injected.

I'm very pleased with this piece, and completely forgot about kisses with Nagas upon requesting it and couldn't change it when I did remember.
And I giggled, giggled like mad at the last line. Lovely. ^_^

"You are privileged," the Firelord said lowly. "Very few foreigners are allowed into my presence."
Hakoda felt his smile harden. "Very few foreigners would be... well-behaved guests."
"They might be dinner," the Firelord said idly, the tip of his tail flicking.
The motion caught Hakoda's eye, and he instinctively darted a glance toward it. "I'm well aware," he said, dragging his gaze back to the fell gold eyes of the naga-lord. "I'm a simple hunter. I know what happens to 'guests' who don't behave."
"I thought you might," the Firelord said, shifting closer.
His hands balled into fists to keep from shaking. "Makes me wiser than most, I imagine. Helps that I don't have... sharp teeth."
The Firelord paused again, studying him with open curiosity. With a jolt, Hakoda remembered that some nagas did have venomous fangs ( ... )

I love the details and the atmosphere as Ozai lurks and approaches Hakoda. I love the tail description and what a wonderful prison it makes.
And I love the simple dread of Ozai noting just how handsome Hakoda is. The last thing Hakoda expects and probably doesn’t want.

The fire changes in the darkness, becomes the wild-weather ships' fire. La lets him go, knowing he will not go, that he is part of the Ocean now.
When La arises to meet Yue, the Ocean wears the form of the enemy warrior. His hair is sable, his eyes brass, his scales deep blue that is almost black. It feels comfortable to have a scaled tail, more comfortable than legs, but this is not a tail for swimming.
And Yue does not have a tail. La finds himself vexed.

A ripple of movement passed through the naga's tail. "I am doing something."
"Lying on hot rocks is not doing something!"
The naga ignored him.
"Kuzon, I'm boooooored!"
"Go chase a nonesuch then. I'm sunning."
