I agree! I also think it's possible that Ozai planted the letter himself, possibly to legitimise his plans to disinherit Zuko in favour of Azula.
I never thought of that! It's definitely a possibility. He was certainly searching for a pretext, and if he had to manufacture one, so be it.
Also, I now want fic in which Ozai pulled this instead of exiling and scarring him. Court intrigue please.
*Is interested to see if the generic character will come to mean anything, or if it's just a coincidence*
The thing about fandom is, it likes getting into a hot bother. And then, when there's nothing that was worth being in a hot bother, fandom sulks off for a while before deciding they like it. *shakes head*. I do not get.
