    Summary

    Crown Prince Zuko discovers his bending when he is five and his sister is three, and she’s the first person he tells, juggling a flame while she admires its beauty. When he shows the rest of his family, his mother’s chopsticks clatter to the table, and when Zuko looks to his father, his eyes are wide with shock.

    His grandfather speaks first, the head of the table, and approval runs thick through his tone: “Well, look at that. A true prodigy, wouldn’t you agree, Ozai?”

    “Indeed,” he hums.

    //

    (Princess Azula won’t summon her first flame—a guttering, timid thing—until she’s seven.)

    //

    Or, in a world where Zuko is the prodigy and Azula is the one banished, destiny shifts accordingly.

    Summary

    Dragons had a discerning eye. They knew what they liked when they saw it and, Ran thought as she burst through a cloud, she liked Azula just fine. The girl’s brother had delivered her here, angry and broken, breathing fire as if she were a dragon herself. She’d screamed at him, before he left, but he hadn’t listened, so now she screamed only at Ran.

    ~~

    Or: Ran and three generations of Fire Nation women, coming right to her doorstep.
