This story has past Mai/Zuko. I hope you don't mind.
~*~
The old Firelord, they said, lived less and less in the world since his wife had died. More and more, the Firelord's throne sat empty, and they had to look to his daughter seated at the throne's right hand. Oh, it was a shame, they said, that Mai had gone, oh it was a shame, but the princess was wise.
The ones who disagreed with her, as ever, forgot how much they had disagreed with her father, and searched for a beautiful woman to bring their Firelord back. Oh, it was a shame he believed he could only love once.
And the moon shown through his window. Zuko closed the door on the world, and the gray fell away from his hair, and he stood in the moonlight, neither old nor young, in love with Mai, in love with Yue.
