[1Sentence] [Jet/Azula]
Fandom: Avatar: the Last Airbender
Pairing: Jet x Azula
Theme set: Delta
Rating: PG13
#26 - Lost
She has become separated from her firebenders, she is wandering around, her nervousness is starting to show, her movements are sluggish, and Jet turns to his Freedom Fighters and asks how'd they like to capture the Princess of the Fire Nation.
#32 - Pretty
They get their first close look at the Princess, and Jet can't help but agree as Pipsqueak says, "She's pretty."
#45 - Ugly
Azula, offended by their mockery and shamed of her easy defeat, spits out that she's never seen such an ugly, ragtag group of rebels, and the leader just laughs and says he'd never seen someone with an uglier soul.
#21 - Head
"Either he is cowardly or cunning," is one of Azula's first assessments of the rebel (leaders know not to walk at the head of their group, for they are made easier targets that way), and while her bias wants to think the first, she can tell by way he walks, the way he talks, the way he smirks, the way his eyes are always calculating, that he is the latter.
#07 - Despair
"I don't know what despair is," Jet tells Azula after she asks if it despairs him knowing that the Fire Nation will win the war.
#43 - Summer
"Really?" Azula asks, a malicious smirk on her face, "Then you'll learn what it means come summer's end."
#01 - Air
"They're not all dead," Jet cuts her off mid-sentence, Azula scoffs, and Jet repeats, "Not all the Air Nomads are dead."
#24 - Hope
It's Jet's turn to scoff as Azula asks for an example, and Jet chides, "What, have you already forgotten that the Avatar has returned and is mastering all the elements as we speak, and is bringing this pointless war--"
#16 - Flying
Azula's face contorts into snarl as she harshly says "I don't give a flying f--" and Jet places two fingers to her lips, whispering, "Please don't use such harsh language around my children."
#27 - Metal
The rebel whistles something, the other children snicker, and Azula wishes not for the first time that a few of her nation's tanks would appear and flatten them all.
#20 - Green
"I am not wearing this," Azula says haughtily, eyes disdainfully looking over the Earth Kingdom clothing.
#28 - New
"Either you put them on, or I put them on for you," Jet says, smirking as she goes to change into her new wardrobe.
#17 - Food
The princess looks down at the red ...things on her plate, voice laced with haughty disgust as she says "You call this food?"
#02 - Apples
Tired of the famished princess' complains, Jet climbs a tree and picks an apple, but she complains that she can't eat it (due to her manacled hands), Jet says he's not going to untie her, and so Azula orders him to feed her, to which the rebels says no and shoves the fruit in her mouth.
#48 - Welcome
They stop in the middle of the forest, he grabs her with one hand and pulls something with the other, they are pulled up into the trees, and as they come to land on a platform, he whispers in her ear, "Welcome, my princess, to our humble hideout."
#08 - Doors
Azula notices with a humorless smirk that the hideout if bereft of doors, and so as the sun sets, Azula quietly walks out of her room, happy that she can finally escape.
#06 - Dark
"Are you afraid of the dark?" a little girl asks, and Azula nearly screams out in shock, but the little girl goes on, "because if you're scared, you can come with me to Jet's room, because he doesn't mind when we're scared and we go to him, I think he likes, and, oh, I'll just show you," and the girl takes Azula's hand and tugs her to the Jet's room, where he lays silently, children curled around him, a smile on his face as he sleeps.
#04 - Bugs
Jet is awoken the next morning by a very high, feminine scream, and he rushes to the Princess' "room" to see the princess - the girl - scooting away from a harmless bug.
#37 - Snakes
As he "makes the bug go away", Jet wonders what the usually calm and reserved princess' reaction would be if he was to put a snake in her sleeping bag.
#38 - Snow
He then wonders what her reaction would be if he was to put snow in her sleeping bag, for the moment she touched down on the white powder outside her room, she shrieked and jumped back, cursing everything.
#29 - Old
Azula asks what the day's schedule will be, to be told by Jet that they do what they do every day, and Azula is about to but in and say that to do something day in and day out must get old quick, but she then realizes that that is what she does.
#03 - Beginning
Or what she did; as Jet leads her to the dinning area, Azula feels that things are going to be differnt from now on.
#05 - Coffee
Seeing her irratibility at his response and sensing that she is not a morning person, Jet quickly fetches something he knows will perk her up.
#09 - Drink
But after only a small sip, Azula pushes the drink back into his hands and glares at him, muttering about the "vile, bitter drink."
#13 - Fall
She asks what the forest looks like in the fall, he says it looks like the whole forest is on fire and she sighs and says she wishes she hadn't missed it.
#46 - War
Jet muses out loud all the ways the Fire Nation can be beaten, Azula defends her country passionately, and the tension between them begins to rise again.
#39 - Solid
He explains all his Fighter's stories to her, he shows her the imprisoned village, he shoves all of the Fire Nation's sins to her, but her believes stay as solid as they always have.
#23 - Honor
Caught up in his rant, Jet continues on, spitting out exaggerated sins of the Fire Nation, damning them for being honorless creatures, vile monsters not fit to live.
#14 - Fire
But he realizes he's gone too far and hastily tells her how easily the trees could catch fire, how just one spark would cause all the innocent children hiding there to die for no reason, and the fire in her palms flickers out.
#36 - Secret
That night, Azula asks Jet what his sob story is, and as the Freedom Fighters get into a debate about Jet's past (he was from the Fire Na-- no you idiot, he's Earth Kingdom!), his face slips into an emotionless mask, and Azula smirks in amusement as she realizes that even he had his secrets.
#34 - Regret
"So, Zula," Jet calmly starts to say, but regrets it a second later as she immediately pins him to the ground, and hisses in his ear, "Never call me Zula."
#15 - Flexible
"Wow," Jet grunts from under her, "I've never seen someone move around in binds so easily before... you must be pretty flexible."
#10 - Duty
"It must be horrible," Jet says, "being chained to the duty of being a princess--" but Azula stops him, saying that even if she weren't a princess, she would give her life to the Fire Nation, devoting herself to keeping her nation standing tall, but Jet stops her and says "Yea, come back to me in five years and tell me that being a princess hasn't chained you down."
#33 - Rain
It had been stormy all day, and as the sun starts to set, the skies let loose their fury, and an enraged Azula storms out of her leaking room towards Jet's, fully intent on giving him hell for giving her, a princess, such miserable living conditions.
#18 - Foot
But her plan flies out of her head as she walks in on the rebel curled in a fetal position in the corner of his room, and with curiosity getting the better of her, she walks over to him and nudges him with her foot non-too gently in the side, asking in a deadpan voice what's wrong.
#47 - Water
It took a bit of coercing, but after a while Jet finally tells Azula the reason for his fear of water, and instead of laughing, she just says that the water wench is an idiot for letting him go.
#30 - Peace
She declares that she will sleep in here tonight, and as she lies on his bed and while he lies on the floor, and for the first time there's something akin to peacefulness between them.
#41 - Stable
It takes her a month, but as Azula finds Jet silently sobbing to himself, she realizes that he is not as strong, not as stable, not as powerful as he makes himself up to be.
#42 - Strange
A foreign feeling bubbles up in Azula's stomach, and with awkward movements, she moves to rub the rebel's back, but he snaps out a "Go away," and Azula feels a strange clenching feeling in her chest.
#11 - Earth
She breaks of in the middle of a tirade about how he is worthless rebel that will never amount to anything and asks "What?", for she could've sworn that he had muttered "if only you were an Earth Kingdom girl."
#25 - Light
"There is something seriously wrong with me," Jet muses to himself as he stops his observation on how pretty Azula is in her sleep when the moonlight bathes her silky, smooth skin and-- "I'm doing it again!"
#44 - Taboo
He kisses her once - this is wrong - he kisses her again - this is so wrong - and again - I'm royalty - his hand slids up her back - he's a rebel - and up her shirt - this is wrong - and she kisses back.
#49 - Winter
For the first time in his life, Jet is not cold during the long winter nights.
#40 - Spring
The Freedom Fighters are stunned as they watch Azula walk around with a spring in her step, and are mystified when they see Jet walk around with it too.
#35 - Roses
"Is their beauty worth the pain?" Smellerbee asks, and seeing Jet look at her confused, she goes on and says, "You love roses, but roses, despite their prettiness, have thorns, so I'm wondering, is their beauty worth the pain?"
#50 - Wood
The next night she lies awake, mind going around in circles (this is wrong I must stop this this is wrong I must stop this) and by morning, she has memorized the patterns on the wood ceiling.
#12 - End
As she watches the Freedom Fighters scurry about to ready for their raid, Azula comes to a conclusion; this is wrong, she must stop this.
#31 - Poison
He never told her about the knife - she found it - he never told her about the poison in it - she found it - he never gave her the love note he poured his heart and soul into writing - she found it.
#19 - Grave
It's been five years, Fire Lord Ozai has fallen but the Fire Nation has won the war, and as Fire Lady Azula is heading through a forest to met up with her darling husband she's been chained to, she makes her carriage stop and she gets out, goes to a mound of dirt with a large stone at the top, and though a thousand things to say run through her head (I'm sorry I love you Forgive me I wish things had turned out different), she only says, "You were right."
#22 - Hollow
She stood there until her lady-in-waiting called for her, and by the time she had gotten back in carriage, she had been reduced to an empty shell.
... I really have no idea where these came from. I mean, this is one of my least favorite pairings. But the idea of Azula lost and alone being captured by Jet and the Freedom Fighters wouldn't leave me alone, and evolved into romance, and before I knew it I had signed up for the 1sentence challenge. Oh well, it doesn't really matter, because I'm actually rather satisfied with these. I mean, at first the thought of doing these in a story-like format was insane, but it turned out better than I thought. And I don't know what possessed me into writing in the present tense, but if I switched to past, please tell me.
