Summary
"In this A.U., the Agni Kai is more than a test of honor: it’s a brutal duel for total domination, where the loser not only forfeits their pride but their will and fate, left at the mercy of the victor. The punishment could be exile… or death.
Zuko, unwilling to let Azula die and knowing that exile in her fragile mental state would only lead her to ruin, acts in desperation to save her from execution. He unearths forgotten scrolls of the Fire Nation and discovers an ancient law: in a battle between an alpha and an omega, if the alpha falls, they lose everything; but if the omega is defeated, they can be claimed by the victor. After a year of dodging the inevitable, Zuko resolves to invoke this tradition for his sister.
Thus, Azula—humiliated and stripped of her power—is bound to Katara, the only one capable of defeating her, recently named chief of the Water Tribe over her older beta brother.
And, reluctantly, in an act of compassion, Katara agrees."
