Meme ganked from Rin
I have a list of Avatar characters and a list of a few of my favorite Avatar AUs, and I have numbered/lettered both of them. Pick a letter between A-F, one or two numbers between 1-20, and give me a prompt--mood, song lyric, whatever--and I will drabble you something based on the combination. Responses may or may not be either gory, porny, or

Worst of all, she felt the gaping chasms of broken fury-bonds.
A soft shudder ran through her as she slid the screen back. She'd never felt a broken bond in a human before. Always, it had been in a feral fury, and only water furies. Shui couldn't seem to flow with the emotions of other types of furies.
This man from the Fire Nation, though, was broken like the Jiao River fury.
All the world knew of what Avatar Aang had done to the Firelord. It made her sick just thinking about it, and the assault of his pain made it even worse.
It made her even more sick to think of what he would have done if Avatar Aang hadn't stopped him.
A shiver ran through her as the winter-cold finally seeped through her layers of clothing. She went back to the hearth, curling up next to the heat. It would be a long night with that man outside her gate. Min could keep him off her land, but the earth fury couldn't drive him off without leaving Song unprotected from the feral and wild furies of the land.
The war had killed many people and torn up the wild furies' territories. Feral furies, half-mad with grief, attacked people their wild cousins would have avoided, and wild furies were increasingly territorial. It was dangerous to be out alone, and she always manifested Min when she worked on her farm. Especially weeks like this, when she was alone while Mother traveled to dicker with her family over a marriage-match for Song.
She pulled a quilt around her shoulders. He was just outside her gates. There weren't any wild furies who claimed that, of course. But sometimes the stone horse would run up and down the road, striking anyone with its hooves. Or the tornado might blow in tonight.
It had never occurred to her that a man like him could be afraid of anything.
Song screwed her eyes shut and pulled Shui in close as could be. She did not want to feel that man out there alone in the dark. She didn't.
He was horrible, he had caused so much pain and suffering in the world. Her leg, Lee's scar, the feral furies, everything.
She shouldn't be crying for him.
It was cold and dark, and he was alone and afraid.
Sniffling, Song stood up and shuffled towards the door. She slid it open, calling on the fire-furies in the gate-lamps to ignite. "You should come inside. It's safer in here."

Ozai is just so broken and Song is feeling the broken bonds and it is all so sad-making and tearing apart. D:
And then she calls him inside and it is sad smiles. D:D
