The Cellist, 1909

AU Bot Plots

Zuko is a fantastic pianist. A prodigy from an impressively young age, and in another family, that might mean something. Zuko breaks his neck trying to prove to his business tycoon father and budding politician sister that his piano playing isn't just some easily dismissed hobby. He becomes world famous and has played for people of prominence that even his father couldn't get a phone call with. But it's still not enough.

One day, his father says something awful, and Zuko has a crisis when he realizes that he built his entire career to win the approval and love of a father who refuses to give it, and he walks away from the piano altogether, becoming a recluse (who works sometimes at his uncle's tea shop when Iroh worries he's spending too much time alone). He meets Katara when she stops in to the shop. She knows who he is immediately and is surprised to find the world famous pianist working the counter at some random tea shop. They have a conversation and Zuko finds out Katara is also a musician. She invites him to an open jam session where her band will be playing. It's not a show, and anyone who is so inclined can join the band to play. Zuko is hesitant because he's still got some issues around music and performing. Still he's intrigued and he goes to at least watch the performance.

It Is AWFUL!!!

There's no real rhyme or reason to anything that's being played. It sounds like disjointed songs being played all at once. The 'performers" don't all have the same skill level, so there's a fantastic drummer keeping time to a guitarist who only knows two chords, and the person on the keyboards just went through an awful break up and is taking it out directly on the keys. Katara is playing the bass, but the levels are so wonky that Zuko feels her playing more than actually hears it.

Zuko leaves, vowing never to come to this slaughterhouse of sound ever again. But of course, he does come back. The sound is awful, but the people didn't demand too much of him. The ones that paid him any mind at all were really nice. The next time he comes back, Katara offers him the drum sticks. He reminds her that he plays the piano, but Katara insists he gives the drums a try. After a few timid whacks at it, he starts to hit harder and harder and harder until he's just pummeling the drums without any consideration for actual musicality. He stops when he breaks the snare drum and realizes that he's crying. He runs away, and Katara follows him to make sure he's okay. She tells him that what he's feeling is the point of her little musical club. It's not about sounding perfect, it's about working out emotions through the music.

At some point it comes out that Katara knows who Zuko is because she is also a gifted classical musician. Her instrument is the cello, but she never made it as far as Zuko. Then she discovered the guitar and experimental trash punk and never looked back. She is also part of a band that plays actual music and actual shows, too, which Zuko gets to go to at some point. Katara's band is surprisingly (to Zuko) very good. The music is still pretty unconventional, but it's...recognizable as music. Skillfully played music.

The story ends with Zuko coming to terms with his trauma around trying to please his father with his career and rediscovering his genuine love for the piano. He returns to the classical music circuit, and is occasionally joined by his girlfriend, Katara, on cello, when she's not recording with her band

“.. so, you can “hear” the instruments “sing”?”

“Yeah, since I’m completely unable to sing.”

“.. unorthodox, but I can see why you like playing instruments more than singing.”
