#somehow despite having lived isolated on a wrecked boat for four years they manage to still be spoiled brats when aang shows up

[evilkitten3]

atla crack au where zuko and azula burn the palace down as kids (like 12 and 10, respectively, pre-banishment but post-grandpacide), run away to avoid consequences, and somehow end up "discreetly" living in the abandoned fire nation ship in the south pole ("discreetly" is a word which here means "all the adults know they're there bc they have massive arguments every other day, and when hakoda's nearby he "drops" things that might be useful")

ozai ends up blaming the palace fire on iroh and banishes him. he must capture the children to regain his honor (translator's note: this is adult speak for "get their asses back here so i can ground them for the rest of their lives")

#atla #avatar the last airbender #zuko #azula #fire siblings #somehow despite having lived isolated on a wrecked boat for four years they manage to still be spoiled brats when aang shows up #ozai is significantly less evil bc a) crack au and b) the burning zuko's face off never happened #like he still kinda sucks but he hasn't crossed the line from throne usurper to child mutilator just yet #azula spends half a minute trying to find a way to blame the fire on zuko before realizing that half the flames are blue #the plot twist is that they actually weren't (fully) responsible for the destruction #ursa did it #she chose terrorism ok #jet is her accomplice #like he hates that she's fire nation but damn if she's not good at what she does #jet: ok so how're we gonna get your children out before we- #ursa: fuck them kids #jet: ...dope let's do this
