Summary
When Azula is nine, she becomes an only child. She hears the Fire Lord call for Zuko's life, and in the morning, her mother and brother are gone. Azula may be young, but she isn't naive. She knows what happened to them.
Which makes it all the more surprising when Azula tracks the Avatar down and fights his group of peasant friends, only to find herself staring into an eerily familiar face.

Bookmarker's Notes
I am so emotional about this fucking fic… Azula redemption… save me Azula redemption
Anyway yeah I love the Fire Hazard siblings in this one. The fact that this has my two favorite ATLA fic tropes (Zukka and Azula redemption) pulled off FLAWLESSLY means that this is one of the all-time greats for me. I especially love how Azula’s redemption is gradual and not instant despite her having a lot more outward love for Zuko. I like how she lies to herself… my baby
Also, the prose in this fic flows so flawlessly and creates such an immersive state. The pace is so deliberate, I feel like I’m being spun like a thread when I’m reading this fic.
This is a masterpiece as far as I’m concerned. This achieves things only its fanfic can achieve. An absolutely excellent use of the medium, one of the great arguments for why AO3 should even exist.
