Against All Odds
A FST for Mai and Zuko

~^~^~
It occurred to me, one afternoon, that "Run" was ridiculously appropriate for the state of Mai and Zuko's relationship after the events of "The Boiling Rock." The rest was kind of inevitable.
Many thanks to jlh for her suggestions, and to rawles for her feedback and general helpfulness. <3

Liner Notes
~^~^~
Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want - The Smiths - Zuko
The life I've had would make a good man bad
So for once in my life
Let me get what i want
Lord knows it would be the first time
Sea Legs - The Shins - Zuko
Of all the churning random hearts
Under the sun
Eventually fading into night,
These two are opening now
As we lie, I touch you
Wonderful alive
Girl, if you're a seascape
I'm a listing boat, for the thing carries every hope.
I invest in a single life
The choice is yours to be loved
Sweet Talk - The Killers - Zuko
Lift me up on my honour
Take me over this spell
Get this weight off my shoulders
I've carried it well
Loose these shackles of pressure
Shake me out of these chains
Lead me not to temptation
Hold my hand harder
Ease my mind
Heartbeats - The Knife - Mai
One night of magic rush
The start: a simple touch
One night to push and scream
And then relief
Ten days of perfect tunes
The colours red and blue
We had a promise made
We were in love
The World Spins Madly On - The Weepies - Zuko
Everything that I said I'd do
Like make the world brand new
And take the time for you
I just got lost and slept right through the dawn
And the world spins madly on
Fighting On The Stairs - Frames - Zuko
I'm living out in the old house
And fighting on the stairs
And staring at the windows
Breeze blowing through the years
But if I don't get out of this town
Then something is gonna break
'Cause I gotta find my own way now
Through this thick malaise
B.M.F.A. - Martha Wainwright - Mai
I will not pretend
I will not put on a smile
I will not say I'm all right for you
When all I wanted was to be good
To do everything in truth
Lay Me Down - Frames - Zuko
I will write you letters that
Explain the way I'm thinking now
I will return to you
What I have taken long before
I will return again
When it gets dark and day is done
Sleep To Dream - Fiona Apple - Mai
I have never been so insulted in all my life
I could swallow the seas to wash down all this pride
First you run like a fool just to be at my side
And now you run like a fool, but you just run to hide
And I can't abide
I got my feet on the ground
And I don't go to sleep to dream
You got your head in the clouds
You're not at all what you seem
Run - Snow Patrol - Zuko
Slower slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads
Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess
Against All Odds - The Postal Service - Zuko
Take a look at me now
'Cause there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against the odds
And that's what I've got to face
I wish I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you
So many reasons why
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all
Head Over Feet - Alanis Morissette - Mai
I had no choice but to hear you
You stated your case time and again
I thought about it
You treat me like I'm a princess
I'm not used to liking that
You ask how my day was
You've already won me over in spite of me
Destiny - Zero 7 - Mai
The journey's long
And it feels so bad
I'm thinking back to the last day we had.
Old moon fades into the new
Soon I know I'll be back with you
I'm nearly with you
When I'm weak I draw strength from you
And when you're lost I know how to change your mood
And when I'm down you breathe life over me
Even though we're miles apart we are each other's destiny
The Luckiest - Ben Folds - Zuko
I don't get many things right the first time
In fact, I am told that a lot
Now I know all the wrong turns, the stumbles and falls
Brought me here
And where was I before the day
That I first saw your lovely face?
Now I see it everyday
And I know
That I am
The luckiest
