Well, I do focus on what happens differently, which to me is the heart of any good AU, but I don't necessarily do a lot of description, and when I do, it has to be in the right place. Like, I know that Zuko has his entire ship mapped out in his head, and probably always will, and that when it's destroyed and he has to hide on Zhao's ship, his uncle is sure to put him on a ship with the same floor plan, just scaled up, so he's constantly counting to himself in his head, and relying on the fact that Fire Nation boots are loud not to run into people, and he still walks into a wall the second day, which almost gets him caught. That's going to go in the story about the Siege of the North. But I also know that Zuko relearns how to play the tsungi horn without written music, and that he never realized how much he relied on visual cues when he played in a group. That's not going in the story, I don't think.
