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.  [livejournal.com profile] weirdlet , [livejournal.com profile] beboots , and [livejournal.com profile] floranna  get seven requests and a guarantee of two fics, because [livejournal.com profile] beboots  and [livejournal.com profile] floranna  are the best betas ever, and [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] weirdlet  and [livejournal.com profile] 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.

The gangway groaned on its gears. Zuko sat on the futon in the middle of the storeroom the others had cleaned out for him and his uncle and listened to the engines die. The others were leaving the ship, even his uncle, but Zuko couldn’t. He had missed... He had missed being on a ship anyway.

His crutch lay across his knees, just waiting for him to use it again, to get up and hobble up to the deck and off the ship.

It was cold that far north, even in the summer, and the storage rooms were far away from the engines. Zuko curled around himself, gazing at the closed door.

~*~

The wheels rumbled over the iron floor, and bounced over the rows of rivets, holding the iron plates together. The sound echoed off the walls, cutting through the talking and laughing in the hall, moving closer to the storeroom door. Zuko flopped down on the futon and yanked the blanket up over his head, pretending to be asleep.

The door screeched open, setting Zuko’s teeth on edge. Before his stupid, traitorous mind caught up with everything else, the idea that he should have whoever forgot to oil the hinges flogged flashed across it. Then he remembered he wasn’t on his own ship anymore. He never thought he would miss it.

“Zuko,” his uncle called into the room. Zuko ignored him and stayed curled up on the futon. “Look who I found.”

Zuko kept his breathing slow and even, as he really was asleep. Or meditating. He couldn’t let the candles in the room flicker, or Uncle would know.

“I’ll just go,” the boy who had followed his uncle in said awkwardly. “You know, come back when he’s awake.”

“No.” Uncle lowered himself down onto the futon next to his nephew and put a hand on his shoulder. Zuko stiffened. “Stay.”

“No, really-” the boy insisted.

“Zuko,” Uncle said gently. “No one could sleep through that door opening.”

“Go away.” He couldn’t- He didn’t know how his uncle could stand staying with these people who were gathering together ti invade their home, to be friendly with them, and pretend it didn’t- Zuko had betrayed his country in every way that mattered. He was a traitor. He should be hunted down and killed for it.

“Uh,” The boy with the goggles let out miserably.

“Prince Zuko,” Uncle pulled the blanket down, off his nephew’s head. “Be polite.”

Zuko just felt trapped. Everything was closing in on him. Sitting up on the futon, he wrapped the blanket around his legs and glanced up sullenly at the boy who had followed his uncle in. Zuko’s good eye widened as he sank further back into the shadows. He recognized him, and it made him feel sick.

Uncle patted his nephew’s shoulder reassuringly. “I will leave you two alone.”

Zuko gritted his teeth and watched him go. “Hey.”

The boy with the goggles rolled closer to the futon. “I remember you,” he told him, at a loss. “You were wearing green and brown then, too.”

Zuko remembered the boy who had been so curious about the visitors to his home, especially Zuko, who by virtue of being only barely older than he was just so interesting. He remembered the boy’s strange father begging them to pretend to be Earth Kingdom so his people wouldn’t find out about his collaboration. He remembered staring at the temple murals and reliefs, desperate for any clue on his hopeless search. He remembered watching the temple’s new inhabitants fly through the air, and feeling a ridiculous, intoxicating rush of hope, and he remembered it dying when he saw three of the flying girls playing rock tag after they landed. But Zuko couldn’t remember the boy’s name. “Oh.”

“It’s, um, nice to see you again.” The kid kept trying to smile. It wasn’t quite working.

“Yeah.”

He glanced at the crutch resting against Zuko’s good leg. “Your uncle told me about what happened to your leg.”

Zuko wrapped his hand around the handle of the crutch. “What about it?”

The kid leaned his elbow on the arm of his wheelchair. “My dad could help, I think, I mean, he’s really good with things like that.”

Zuko hated the crutch. “I don’t need any help.”

“Oh.” The kid looked down. “Okay then.”

The kid was the same age Zuko had been when he had gone to the Northern Air Temple, Zuko realized with a jolt. “What’s your name?”

“Teo.” He laced his fingers behind his head. “You’re uncle’s worried about you.”

“He doesn’t have to be,” Zuko said sulkily. “I’m fine.” Fine as he was going to get.

“Come up on deck with me.” Teo’s lips pinched together. “It’ll make your uncle feel better.”

Zuko closed his eyes and nodded.
