Mini-Meme: Ozai Edition!

Aug 14, 2009 03:08

Because I love writing Ozai way too much.

Any Ozai requests. Pick a pairing, an AU, a random crack-induced scenario, whatever, and I'll write it. One request per person, unless you're a) dark_puck, or b) one of my chatpost buddies, in which case you get three.

character: bato, character: katara, character: hitozi and ursa, character: hakoda, character: fire nation, character: ozai, character: zuko, character: ursa, writing, series: avatar, character: water tribe, character: lu ten, character: azula, character: long feng, character: iroh, au: evil zuko

Based on the AU first articulated in this ficbit by suzukiblu. I also wrote a bit in it that takes place eight years post-series.

"Lightning comes from imbalance, Zuko." Lightning sparks on his father's fingertips, and Zuko is drawn to the sight of it, to the sheer power implied with such a simple, beautiful thing ( ... )

Zuko lunges forward to release it, and it is only with the after-image of lightning-dazzle fading from his eyes that he realizes his father stepped out of the way of the blast.

His mouth goes dry, and the scar feels tighter than ever. "I-" He doesn't know what to say; was this disobedience? Treason? Had he been so careless-?

Father regards him without expression, then a smile creeps out. "Careful, Zuko. Lightning cannot be blocked, merely dodged. If it strikes, the only thing one can do is brace for it."

Something thrills in Zuko; he knows something Father doesn't! The words tumble out of his mouth before he can even think not to say them. "Want to bet?"

Father looks dubious and curious. Not wary, there is no edge of wariness in his expression, Zuko's father fears nothingZuko steps back, raises his hand, and beckons. There is fire, bright and blazing, dancing in him. His lightning is beautiful, his fire is free. Let the world smash itself against him, because he has his father and he has his power ( ... )

Mmm. Lovely. I especially love that last line. That probably made poor Zuko's self-esteem go up about 10 million points. I also really like the meshing between Iroh's philosophy and Ozai's. They're similar in some ways, but opposite in others. Veeeeeeeery interesting. Heh, and Zuko's reaction to having shot his father with lightning was perfect. "OMG, DID I KILL HIM?"

I'm loving this AU. :D
