Azula in this turns most of what she feels into anger, a quiet and cold anger, but anger nonetheless (she's taught that anger is what fuels firebending, and she needs to be the strongest firebender in history).
Azula is my blorbo, my little dragon, half of my fic ideas have her deeply traumatized, terribly injured or just actually dead.
Azula loses her pack, her destined mate and her cub. So she dresses up as the Kemurikage and basically goes out there taking orphan cubs and raising them with other people that lost as much as her. They're an unofficial pack (because neither her or the other alphas can claim a pack after their trauma), hurt adults taking care of children so these pups will never be hurt like them. See, I can make it heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time.
I'll send a different ask about the whole "Mai loves or doesn't love Azula" of this AU (and actually of all the AUs where Maizula is a thing but Mai still betrays her).
The Boiling Rock is the worst day in Azula's life, poor girl.
Here's the thing: it's as happy as I can give Azula in this context. Because she'll never be "normal", not with childhood trauma, war trauma, asylum trauma. She's inherently a tragic character, her happy ending can be bittersweet at best.
Mai is pretty hurt, but she can understand. She knows that Azula even giving her a chance is much, much more than what she deserves after the boiling rock. So then Azula marries her, is willing to have a couple of kids, be present and ask for nothing but the possibility of Mai not leaving her again. Despite her bad days, despite the past, Azula is a good parent, a good mate, and Mai is thankful that Azula is in her life.
The thing with Zuko is that even breaking the bond, there's still something there, deep down. Zuko was the first person Azula claimed, the first person she wanted to protect. She still loves Ozai, after everything. She still loves Zuko, after everything. It's unconditional, her love is unconditional. All you need to do is exist. And Zuko regrets for the rest of his life for not loving her the same way, for being the person that abandoned her pack twice and being the reason she's so closed to having a pack again.
Yes. In this Aang is the first to come around and understand what she feels, since he also lost his entire pack (I'm not sure what he is, but losing a pack does affect anyone). The circumstances are different, but it's the same sense of broken emptiness. They meditate together a lot, silently grieving together. Aang is the closest to someone she feels safe around. A less tragic version and they'd be platonic mates, bonding over loss and mutual peace.
(I just really like post-war Azula befriending Aang.)

I'm like you! I am the same! everyone can check it! 🎶

I can already imagine the first time Mai saw her Alpha dressed as a kemurikage, maybe that was why they had a second puppy.

I saw, shut up now. 🤧
Mai is pretty hurt, but she can understand. She knows that Azula even giving her a chance is much, much more than what she deserves after the boiling rock.
How did Mai feel when she saw how Azula accepted her again?
I bet in shock.
Despite her bad days, despite the past, Azula is a good parent, a good mate, and Mai is thankful that Azula is in her life.
What does Azula think of Mai? I know she loves him enough to accept him.
But I want to know about those good days, where both love each other regardless of the past.
After everything. It's unconditional, her love is unconditional. All you need to do is exist.
Ha! What does Iroh think about his niece and her OBVIOUS unconditional love that not even he and his beloved nephew have?
They meditate together a lot, silently grieving together. Aang is the closest to someone she feels safe around.
They meditate a lot together, they cry together in silence... they get drunk together while listening to bands, they almost get high on marijuana... it's difficult. 😮‍💨
A less tragic version and they'd be platonic mates, bonding over loss and mutual peace.
In this and that version Mai gets a little jealous, but she doesn't make a fuss because Aang is the other side of Azula's coin.

Now I understand everything...Pay me for therapy, Ash! I'm not asking you, I'm ordering you!
I cried for two hours! and I wasted a lot of paper! My face hurts from crying so much, ash! 😭
