I think that Azula, in her natural state in seasons two and three, is sort of beyond hugs. I think that she may have been redeemable as a child if she had more, you know, friendly contact with her mother and brother at least. I won't rule out possible therapeutic benefit of hugs for Crazula, though.
Speaking of which... I really do enjoy reading sibling or familial fics, you know? But it's SO HARD to find an Azula who can put any sort of feelings of familial devotion to her brother above her devotion to her ambition. What I would love to see is a fic in which Azula actually shows, y'know, concern for her brother. Even if it's just because the Dai Li have beaten him up, and, well, the Fire Nation must stand together against Earth Kingdom barbarians or something. Patriotic-like.
Regardless... Oh man, I would love to read more Kuei and Zuko interactions, as royals on the run. TOGETHER THEY FIGHT CRIME. (Or, rather, Zuko does all the work.) But you've already said you won't write it... ;)
