attackfish | Birthday AU Commentfic Meme!

It’s my birth month, and to celebrate, I’m hosting a commentfic meme! I’m in the mood to write some AU fics, so that’s the theme of the meme. I’m open to both Avatar: the Last Airbender and Harry Potter requests, and I’m also taking requests in any of my existing AUs (Except Children of Mars), including the ones I established im my last commentfic meme, as well as new ones. Comment with up to five requests, and I’ll guarantee you at least one commentfic. I’ll probably answer with more, knowing me.

weirdlet ,

beboots , and

floranna get seven requests and a guarantee of two fics, because

beboots and

floranna are the best betas ever, and

weirdlet has a truly bizarre AU I inflicted on her rattling around in her head. Also, anyone who wants me to write anything from my AU of Sun Child needs to ask

weirdlet and

floranna , because it’s theirs.

*Closed and Finished*

Given that this meme has spawned a fair few universes, sorting the fics by requester would be clunky, so instead, I'm sorting them by universe this time.

“Azula,” be breathed.

“Why did you hide your son six years ago?” She stood back. “What did he do?”

Iroh turned his head to the wall.

“See, I’ve been trying to figure out since we found you why you would hide him away. You lost the throne, you lost your command, It just doesn’t make sense. Uncle...” She let her expression soften, and she knelt down to touch his face. “Did he fake his own death? And let you suffer all these years.”

“Azula.” He pulled away from her. “You do not know what you are talking about.”

She stood back up and looked down on him. “Waterbending healers can be useful,” she said coldly. “If we can be sure of their loyalty...”

Iroh’s eyes grew wide. “What do you want?”

“Zuzu doesn’t have to spend the rest of his life in a cage.” She said softly.

“That’s Ozai’s discission,” he reminded her. “You have no power.”

Azula’s face twisted hideously before she left. “I hope you enjoy watching them die before they execute you.”

~*~

“Rinzee.”

The woman in the corner of the cell scrambled to her feet and hobbled into the light. Her braid lashed around her head as she clung to the wall.

Mai closed the cell door. “I came to talk to you about your daughter.”

“Is she okay?” Rinzee stumbled forward, straining against the shackles on her ankles. “They won’t let me see her, is she with Ao-” She closed her eyes and opened them again. “Lu Ten?”

Mai shook her head. “She’s fine. Azula thinks that if you’re kept apart, if all of you are in separate cells, you won’t try to escape.”

“She’s going to kill us,” Rinzee whispered.

“She’s not like that,” Mai snapped, and jerked back with surprise. “She just needs to know that you’re not going to try to put Ruili on the throne instead of her or the Firelord.”

Rinzee blinked the tears out of her eyes. “She can’t know that unless we’re dead. And Lu Ten told me-”

“Told you what?”

“Nothing.” She braced herself against the wall like she couldn’t stand up without it.

Mai felt her expression harden. “Tell me.”

“I’m not going to give the Firelord one more reason to kill us,” she hissed. “Leave.”

“I’ll see what I can do about your daughter.”

~*~

“What were you doing?”

Mai turned around, the key still in the lock. “Interrogating the prisoner.”

Azula smiled. “Get anything?”

“She wants to see her daughter.” She pulled the key out of the lock.

“Stay away from them, Mai,” Azula rolled her eyes. “The longer we leave them alone, the more they’re going to talk.”

~*~

Mai unlocked the chains around Zuko’s arms. “Why are you doing this?” he asked hoarsely.

She pulled his arm away from his body and put it in the water bowl. “Just shut up.”

The water turned blue and started to glow around his wrist again. The angry yellow and red skin on his hand calmed. The blackened burn flaked away into the water. Where the burn had been, when the water stopped glowing, Zuko had a thick, dark red, wrinkled scar on his wrist. He wiggled his fingers. “Thanks.”

“Your hand looked better than it did when I left last time,” she observed. “I mean, before you put it in the water.”

“Yeah, well there’s sea spray,” Zuko tried to smile.

Mai grabbed his arms and wrapped the chain back around them again and hooked the lock back through the links. But she didn’t lock it. Before she left, she put her key in the lock of the shackles holding his legs to the wall, and it clicked open.

~*~

“It’s good to see your wrist’s healing so nicely.” Azula gazed out the window in his cell for a minute, then looked back to her brother.

“Nice to see you too,” he shot back, sullenly.

She smirked. “My soldiers are tracking the Avatar.”

“What do you want?” He hung his head and tried to keep his arms still, almost crying. “You keep coming here, and- What do you want with me?”

Azula didn’t have an answer.

~*~

Ty Lee stood in front of the cell. “You know Azula doesn’t want us to talk to them.”

“She’s a kid, Ty Lee.” Mai shoved the key into the lock and spun it around. “She’s not going to tell us anything."

Ooh, Azula, trying to play Iroh's weaknesses for his family... NOT GOING TO WORK, HE IS TOO AWESOME.

And a conversation with the child... :3 Exciting!

Oh Azula, Iroh grew up with Ozai. You are out classed.

“You don’t even like kids,” Ty Lee pleaded. “What do you want with her?”

Mai looked into her friend’s eyes. “Don’t ask.”

“I don’t know what you’re doing with them.” Ty Lee grabbed for the key ring. “Just don’t hurt her.

Mai whirled around like she had been slapped. “Don’t worry.” Ty Lee backed away from the door. Mai glanced at the red blotches on her friend’s face. “Have you been crying?”

“No.” Ty Lee hunched her shoulders.

Mai put her hand on her friend’s shoulder. “Don’t lie.”

“It’s nothing.” Ty Lee waved her away. “Do whatever you were going to do. Just leave me out of it.”

“Don’t worry,” Mai repeated. She pulled the door open. She heard Ty Lee’s footsteps growing farther away down the prison hall. The little girl cowered away from her when she walked in. Mai crouched down low and held out her hands. “I’m not going to hurt you.”

She just sank further into the shadows. “Mamamamamama,” she whined, and Mai glanced up at the metal ceiling.

When Mai got close, the girl tried to slip under her arms, but Mai pinned her and picked her up. “Come on. I’m going to take you to your mom.”

Sparks blossomed off the little girl’s fingers, and Mai stroked her hair absently, the way she sometimes did with Tom Tom when she couldn’t avoid him. She squirmed, and Mai held on tighter, and when she started to scream, Mai clamped her hand over the little girl’s mouth.

“Come on.” Mai muttered. She marched down the hall, the girl under her arm. When she opened the door to Lu Ten’s cell, she almost threw the girl into his arms. “There. You have your daughter. Get Zuko and get out of here.”

Lu Ten pulled his daughter to his chest. “I’m not leaving without my father. And Rinzee.”

Mai held up the keys. “Fine. Come with me.”

~*~

The lifeboat rocked gently in the water. “Come with us,” Zuko murmured.

“I can’t. I have a family.”

Zuko held his hand up to her. “If you stay here, Azula’s just going to kill you. She’ll know it’s you.”

Iroh held his head up. “We can get your family.”

“Come with us, please, Mai!”

Mai shook her head and cut the rope.
