Summary
Asozu never quite liked being a princess. The way the dresses dragged, the compliments that sounded like they grated on her ears, the Coos from her mother on how she looked just like her when she was younger. It made Asozu feel vaguely sick every time. But Asozu wasn't a traitor. She could never be, and all of her thoughts were treasonous. Better to ignore them. For as long as she can bear it.
OR
The thing Zuko wanted most, with all of her heart, was to be a boy.

After Burning, After Freezing by zukkaenjoyer

Summary
This story follows them through the years, focusing on their healing after the war. Zuko never learned how to rest. Sokka never learned how to stop holding everyone else up.
Snippet:
Zuko makes an expression like he’s about to plunge into ice water: “I visited my father again this evening,” he swallows hard, “If you ever see me turning into him I want you to…I want you to end me.”Everything tunnels in.
“No.”
Zuko pauses, runs his hand through his hair, hard, like he’s trying to dig something out of his skull.
”I’m not... right. Not inside. The war’s over, and I thought I’d be at peace. But I’m not,” he squeezes his eyes shut, “Two years have passed. I sleep, and I see visions, fire. I see myself burning everything. Sometimes it’s Sozin’s dragon. Sometimes it’s…memories.”
Sokka watches him and it’s awful, because he recognizes himself, his own version of this. And he wants to fix it, he needs to fix it, needs to get that look out of Zuko’s eyes, but he’s not even sure where to start.
So he says the only thing that feels honest: “It’s okay. I get nightmares too.”

Summary
Azula and Zuko weren't always pitted against each other. They weren't always on opposite sides of a war, the world or a courtyard.
Once they were children.
Once she used to come to him for comfort, which he was always willing to give.

Summary
Julieta and Agustín left the office as Mamá listened to how Luisa and Dolores were progressing in their classes, the principal's comments still ringing in their ears. He’d spent the entire hour talking about how Mirabel would never make it and she would need a lot of assistance, a sentiment he shared with Mamá.
They drove halfway home before Agustín parked the car. They shared an incredulous look, and Agustín said the only thing remotely close to acceptable for her.
“Our youngest daughter is not going to that school.”
“Where should she go, then?” Julieta asked, keen to hear her husband’s wonderful idea. Isabela and Luisa already enrolled there on Mamá’s insistence.
He smiled. “I think it’s time our remarkable daughter went to my alma mater.”
“I couldn’t agree more.”
OR
When Julieta and Agustín fear Mirabel will face discrimination based on her medical diagnosis thanks to Alma's ignorance, they transfer her to Agustín’s alma mater. Julieta runs into the unlikeliest person: Ursa Shinawatra, formerly Ursula Shang, and her son Zuko. While they talk about their children’s prospects, Mirabel and Zuko start to become friends.

“Well, it hasn’t always been so complicated, at least not between Lady Ursa and the Princess,” she explains. “I remember the day Lady Ursa and Prince Ozai were to present the merely two week old Princess to the nation…”

Summary
This is just a collection of Atla and Lok oneshots that I've written in my Creative Writing Class (not to be confused with my Y/N Atla and Lok oneshots that I've yet to post). Idk if I'll ever add to this, but I at least wanted to post them. They're just too short for me to be comfortable with posting them as stand-alone fics.
