(Yes, I'll get back to my other memes eventually, but I want to play with my shinies right now.)

You may blame my newfound love of the Detective Inspector Chen novels for this entirely.

Previous installments are:
- Ozai and Lu Ten, enjoying life
- Ursa/Ozai, the first impression was... memorableThis AU is Fire Nation-royal centric, so not

Ozai/Ursa, second meeting

[beckyh2112]

Ursa returned to the Fire Nation Royal Palace in a palanquin. Her brother had come for her at dawn, like he had said he would, and she had lived through the night, like she said she would.

There was a great celebration that night. The demons had not taken the Firelord's daughter; perhaps the curse on their nation was broken. She was too embarrassed to say she had vomited on the demon who had come, and too proud to take credit for deeds she had not done.

It was a miserable party.

Ursa begged off early, retiring to bed. The clean cotton sheets caressed her skin, and she sank into the pillows with a grateful sigh.

In the morning, there was a night-black lily on the pillow next to her.

Ursa's eyes narrowed, and she incinerated it and the pillow it rested on in a burst of blue fire.

It really wasn't. Stepping onto the luminescent ice docks was like stepping into a Northern Water Tribe harbor. Taking the path up to the city itself where it nestled in the bowl of something that wasn't a volcano sickeningly resembled the path from the harbor to Capital City of the Fire Nation.

Zhao snarled and whirled, taking in the tableau of two war-demons pulling out their swords. A number of similar crossbow bolts were scattered across the lobby, several demons and less lucky human shades impaled on them.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the gold presence of the lust-demon pause by the door.

Oh, Ozai darling, you're just collecting for your harem.

Damn straight they need basic discipline, Zhao-san! You show those bastards how they should behave.

Amazing how attention from the wrong demon can get you where you want to go faster. <3
