Sinful Sundays: Promise
Zuko pressed his lips to Azulaâs cold forehead and brushed her hair back. She looked so peaceful with her eyes closedâwithout a hint of them being squeezed too tightâand her lips pressed softly together, painted in a red and glossy tint. Her hands were clasped together, resting on her stomach. He brushed his hand over her pale cheek.
He could almost pretend that she was just sleeping, save for that she had always preferred to sleep on her belly with her hands under her head. And that she no longer had the feeling nor scent of fire that usually hung around her. It was funny how everyone seemed to think she would have wanted to be presented before everyone wearing ridiculously expensive perfume. If they knew her like he did theyâd know that she much preferred smelling like smoke and rather hated the overwhelming fragrances that perfumes made.
He choked back a bubble of sorrow that had slowly formed in his throat.
Her hand felt like ice beneath his and no matter what he did he couldnât seem to warm it. His stomach lurched at the thought. He couldnât quite fathomâŚcouldnât quite grasp how someone who had marshalled fire so skillfully could radiate such coolness.
Zuko clenched his teeth. Only a few days ago they sat together on the palace roof. He had told her of his plans for the nation and vented about how being Fire Lord kind of blows. She had told him that she was rather fond of her position as a Fire Warrior and thanked him for helping her realize that her destiny lie exactly there. That she had always longed for the welfare and glory of her nation and that there was no better way to uphold that than to be out there fighting.
It really should have surprised him to know that sheâd die in battle. Azula always had a thing for going down with pride and dignity. He could never imagine her retreating, even if it would cost her, her life. He just didnât think it would happen so soon.
On that nightâthe night before she departedâZuko had asked Azula to promise him that sheâd come back. He followed that up by requesting that she promise that if things went south, sheâd surrender this timeâgiven how sheâd narrowly missed death last time.
On that night Azula looked at him and declared that she couldnât promise anything of the sort. That, in fact, she could promise only the oppositeâthat if things went downhill sheâd stay and fight harder. That she would make sure she could get as many of her warriors to safety first.
Things had went very south that day. Zuko received few details about the nature of her death and the death of many others as the coroner his subjects found the story to grizzly to vocalize. He looked down at Azulaâs mostly unblemished body and wondered what they meant. They hadnât had to patch her up beyond hiding a few cuts and bruises.
He wondered if the blades she fought against were poisoned.
Zuko fought to push a vision of his sister struggling against a poison; her mouth lightly frothing, breaths hard to taken, her body going limp and slightly discolored  out of his head.
He carefully hoisted Azulaâs body against his own and hugged it tightly while running a hand over her thick, well-groomed locks. Days ago he would have felt her heart beating against his, the rhythmic and comforting rise and fall of her chest and her breath on the nape of his neck.
The Azula he held now was stiff and could not provide him with the condolence he sought.
He missed her.
He loved her.
He wanted her back. Â A tear slid down his cheek and slipped into her hair. He could practically feel Azula punching his arm, telling him to âstop crying you little bitch.â Which never helped at all but heâd give anything in the world to hear it again.
Zuko felt a tap on his shoulder. âItâs time for the ceremony to begin.â The voice stated before urging him to put his sister down. But he didnât want to see her offâŚcouldnât let her go.
He leaned over and whispered in her hear, âwhy couldnât you have just promised me?â

Zuko and Azula are too classy to be inbreeding rednecks, just sayin' Also, this isn't Game of Thrones either. The reason why a lot of us hate Zucest is that it's a perversion of something that's generally geared toward kids. It's like when all those warped men drew fan art of My Little Pony characters having sex, meanwhile young girls, and even boys were fans of that show, and were seeing drawings of these characters doing it.
First of all, I actually agree with a lot of what youâre saying. Azula and Zuko are classy. And unlike a lot of other Zucest shippers, I donât think Azula and Zuko should have a child. That being said, Iâm not going to judge other shippers for disagreeing with me. But the way that I write them, I would not make them have a child together. So that already takes the inbreeding element out of my ship.
Letâs talk about your point about perversion of a childrenâs cartoon. Arenât *any* lemons in ATLA sexualizing the characters then? They are too young to be having sex. In my stories, I always have the characters as 18+ years old. And by the way, I donât just write Zucest. I write a fair amount of Sokkla too. Iâve written one Zukka story as well.
I canât say Iâm familiar with MLP fanart or the cartoon itself. Iâve seen a few episodes, but I never got into it. Anyway, I think that artists should be allowed to draw whatever theyâd like. Yes, itâs weird, but artists should draw whatever makes them happy or whatever makes them money. Children shouldnât be looking at rule 34 anyway. Parents should make sure that their browserâs have the safe-search on!
In ATLA and LOK, I have SO many different ships! And I post Sokkla, Kataang, and Korrasami the most. I donât shove Zucest down peopleâs throats. Iâm allowed to like what I like and post what I like. If people donât like it, they can unfollow or block me. Iâm not going to tell other people what they can and canât ship. Iâm not going to tell other people that theyâre wrong or gross for liking what they like. I hope that you can give me the courtesy of doing the same.

Why are so many people so spiteful to Zucest shippers? Like they donât do anything to anyone? Legit they just hang back and write fics. Iâve never seen any of them actually start anything. Just let people ship what they want. If it bugs you so much black list it. I donât ship Zutara but I donât go around telling them to stop writing fics and such.
~ Sincerely your local multi-shipper, whose main ship is TyZula.

I had a dream last night that Azula got her redemption arc and that Zucest became canon.
You can understand my disappointment when I woke up.

"I'd really rather our family physician look after Little Zuzu if you don't mind."
Even in that state she just want to impale Zuko not to kill him. Really healthy(unhealthy) obsession she has with her own brother it's like.
I will torture you everyday, belittle you, taunt you, punish you everyday for throwing my sacrifice away, rubbing my favours back my face but will not kill you. You disgusting little brat you think those group of knuckle heads call themselves Gaang is more to you than me.
I get this vibes from this

avatar chang left the bsg server XD
Yeah because of a slap fight with Hexful and then she made another one called âLake Laogayâ that they then changed because those idiots had no idea it was a reference to an IRL labor camp (Weâre there too) XD
Those people hate each other almost as much as they hate those they attack, not surprising given how awful they are.
Thanks for the ask ^^

Funny how avatar-chang is playing the victim in all this when she was the one who brought it on herself by shit talking everyone behind their backs and screaming at people over their opinions in fiction. Good thing she's exposed and everybody can see how shitty she is. I blocked her stank ass.
All of those idiots tried to play the victim, good thing nobody went along with that bulshit.
They just refuse to accept responsability for what they did, itâs pretty pathetic honestly.
Thanks for the ask ^^

Imagining what Azulaâs haircut redemption arc would have looked like (aka an excuse to draw Azula with short hair)

as a kid, i never really understood azulaâs mental descent towards the end but rewatching as an adult made me really relate to her, so i wanted to pay homage to a mentally healthy fire lord azula that never came to be
