Summary
The birth of something new, the spring's nascent bloom after winter's culling has left the world colorless and barren.
Azula and Zuko plant the seeds of life. It's cause for apprehension, resignation, hope, and sorrow. Maybe not in equal measure.
Vermillion prequel. Or a standalone, if you prefer. I won't tell you how to read it. I just felt like writing something for Valentine's.

Summary
Life needn't end at death. For some, there's a familiar blue door waiting for them at the end of the road. For most, the room inside is merely their last stop before being set free to swim in the sea of oblivion. But for a select few- the restless and curious not ready to surrender to unconsciousness- the opportunity to join the immortal denizens of the realm between dream and reality, mind and matter, is a compelling proposition.

Summary
An unforeseen breakdown of the plan to change Masayoshi Shido's heart comes with grave consequences. When the Phantom Thieves confront the God of Control, they are unable to overcome humanity's overwhelming desire to see them removed from existence. The false god obliges man's prayers, and this time it is ruin, not reformation, that wins out. But the fears and fickle loyalties of mankind leave Yaldabaoth's ultimate design for the world flawed and incomplete.

Summary
WARNING :
1) IT'S A ZUCEST STORY (Zuko/Azula pairing).
2) THIS IS THE SECOND PART OF A LONG FANFIC. SPOILERS IN THE SUMMARY:Here is the first part of the fic : https://archiveofourown.org/works/31802443/chapters/78728599
***
"I know what you're going to say. She's my sister, and I should be trying to get along with her."
"No, she's crazy and she needs to go down"
Six years ago, when Iroh spoke these somber words to comfort a bewildered Zuko, neither of the two men could have imagined how harsh, dizzying, and trying the fall would be. Nor did they foresee that Zuko would be drawn into it. Having lost everything, he is left with no one but this broken sister he once saw as his enemy.
Should they fight to reclaim a crown that has become too heavy for their heads or succumb to feelings they should never have contemplated? What choices will the siblings make?

Summary
Following the demise of Lu Ten, Ozai's attempt to leap over his brother Iroh as heir to the Throne infuriates Fire Lord Azulon, who seeks to punish his youngest son accordingly. Only this time, Azulon demands Azula's death, not Zuko's. The two young siblings are there to witness it, and their lives will never be the same.
Canon divergence from the night in which Azulon orders Zuko's death. This story will intend to cover the timeline of the original show up to and following Sozin's Comet and beyond.
(See the Author's Note on Chapter 8 for my thought process behind the pairing)
