#dragon Azula

[waterfire1848]

Addition - Zuko believes that dragon!azula is the dragon that murdered Azula and decides to make it his new mission to get revenge for her.

AU based on me rewatching Brother Bear - Sometime during canon, Azula is cursed to become a dragon and meets baby!Druk, who decides to come with her as she travels to an old Dragon Temple that might have a way to turn her back.

Sokkla AU

As punishment for hunting down dragons to near extinction, the spirits curse Sozin's female descendants to transform into dragons. A hundred years later, the first Fire Princess is born. Firelord Ozai hides her in a remote castle and hired guards to protect her from hunters. Over time, guards go missing due to Azula not being able to control her powers. People are catching on and fewer volunteer. Low on options and desperate to keep the secret Ozai hires someone expendable. Master Piandao’s newest student from the Southern Water Tribe.

dragon!Azula & wolf!Katara after playfighting

Azula: I defeated you once again!

Katara: you're a La-forsaken DRAGON!

Azula: you're a wolf. a giant one. Katara, your fangs are the size of my forearm, what are you talking about?

Katara: you cheat when we fight.

Azula: and you don't when you pull my tail and try to bite my, may I remind you, sensitive wings?

Katara: you keep changing size.

Azula: there's nothing wrong about that, I'm using my skills.

Katara: you go from kitty-owl sized to larger than Appa in the blink of an eye, that's cheating.

Azula: you're just a sour looser.

(they proceed to playfight some more)

Hi ATLA tumblr, I made an ATLA au recently called “May the Spirits Guide You” the main idea is the same, however Aang is given a vision that benders given blessings by the first benders will assist him in learning the elements and defeating the fire lord.

These are my designs for Zuko and Azula, who are blessed by the dragons Ran and Shaw after a failed poisoning attempt in order to save their life.

(I should clarify, they still support Ozai at the start of this AU)

Skin & Scale (Part 30)

I’d like to give @subterraneanwatcher a shout out for the dragon name idea.

“You guys don’t hate me.” She mumbles. By now it has been several hours since their squabble with Iroh. Hours and that is all she can manage to utter. She can’t seem to get past it. Decidedly it is a good thing, of course. And yet her mind is stuck on it in the same way that it catches on awful things.

“Of course we don’t hate you.” Sokka says. The table has since dwindled down to just she, Zuko, her parents, and Sokka. To just she, her parents, and Sokka. And then with a bidding of kind dreams it had become just she and Sokka.

She supposes that she has known for a good while now that they don’t hate her anymore but sometimes she can’t shake that sense. At least until now. Now she is quite certain that most of the hostility and bad blood has run its course. 

“Actually…” Sokka begins reluctantly. “I think that I love you.”

Azula blinks.

“Oh come on, Azula, I’ve been dropping hints.”

“Hints?”

“I stood my ground against your parents to sit next to you during the play! Why else would I have done that!?”

Azula shrugs, “to be annoying?” 

He takes her by the wrists and gives them a gentle shake. “Because I wanted to sit by you. Because I like you. A lot.” 

“But why?” 

He shrugs. “Is it enough to say that I just do?”

“No.” She frowns. “There is a reason for everything and I want yours.”

Sokka laughs. “Believe it or not, it’s because of stuff like this?” He pauses. “I’ve never met anyone like you. Most people wouldn’t be brave enough to say a third of what you say, especially with the level of confidence that you do!”

“Are you implying that I say embarrassing things.”

He thinks for a moment. “Sort of, maybe? You definitely say some awkward stuff, which is kind of refreshing and adventurous. With Suki I always felt like I was making an idiot of myself…”

“If you don’t feel like you’ve been making an idiot of yourself with me, then I have been doing something wrong.” Azula offers him a flippant flick of her wrist. She furrows her brows. “What are you laughing at, I just called you an idiot.” 

“Affectionately.” His chuckles tapper off. 

“Who said that it was affectionate?”

“The tone of your voice.” He replies. “The way you call me an idiot is different from the way you call Zuko and Aang idiots.”

“Because all of you are different types of idiots.” She insists. It is perfectly reasonable in her mind to assert as much. Logical as well, if she must say. 

“Okay but you are usually at least vaguely amused when you call me an idiot.” He shrugs. “You have this smile and…”

She scowls, a light flush creeping over her cheeks. “I most certainly do not. And any hint of a smile that you think that you have seen is because…”

“You like me better than everyone else and I’m special.” 

“Especially stupid, maybe.” 

And now he is cackling. “Can’t you just admit that you have feelings for me? Unless…you don’t realize that you have feelings for me do you? Because you’ve never been in love before!” He accuses.

“Sokka, that’s ridiculous.”

He smirks, “ridiculously true.”

“Oh you think that you’re clever, don’t you?” She mutters, all the while wondering how the aftermath of one spat has led to this conversation. She finds herself morbidly curious as to just how long Sokka has been holding this one in. It must have been for a while if he is using this as his opening–he has wedged his whole body through a door that was only open just a crack.

“I am and that’s part of my allure.” He wiggles his brows.

“Any allure you have is being severely eclipsed by whatever your face is doing right now.”

“I like what your face is doing right now.” He comments. 

She imagines that her face is some blotchy shade of red and contorted into some expression of outrage and befuddlement. Sokka sure has a lot of audacity. In one final effort to dissuade him she grumbles, “say that I do take you up on this silly little declaration of love, you’re going to have to talk this over with my parents.”

Sokka shrugs. “Your dad let me sit next to you at the theater.”

He has her there and she hates it. 

And she hates that she loves it, that it induces something of a thrill. 

She lets a smirk creep across her face. “Alright, Sokka.” She pauses. “I’ll play along. Let’s see how much you can handle.”

.oOo.

It is a simple question that sets her up for a day of unrest. Just one mundane, perfectly ordinary, innocent question. “How did you sleep, Hosekko?” Mother’s face pales in unison with the furrowing of Azula’s brows. 

“We were going to name you Hosekko.” Ran clarifies. “Small jewel. You were our small jewel. You are still our small jewel–precious, valuable, and one of a kind.” He cups her cheek. 

Azula swallows. 

She could have been Hosekko but she is Azula. She could have been precious and unique. Instead she is Azula, an extension of someone else. She could almost laugh, but the tears tickle behind her eyes first in sync with the flutters in her belly. 

“I’m sorry.” Shaw apologizes. “I didn’t mean to. It has just been hard; we had the perfect name picked for you and we never had the chance to say it.”

She swallows harder and clutches at the fabric of her pants. “It’s alright.” She manages.  But it isn’t. It isn’t alright that Ozai had taken her name from her too. Spirits, she hadn’t even considered that. Hadn’t even thought to be upset by such a small thing, and yet here it is, another weight on her shoulders. 

“I slept fine, mother.” She manages to answer the initial question. In fact she had slept better than she has in a while knowing that she truly does have support when it is warranted. That Zuzu, of all people, is willing to put in a good word for her. 

She supposes that when they return home she can tell the council to behave for him and stop giving him such a hard time. 

Mother smile. “That is good to hear, Azula.” 

She takes a breath. 

“Or would you like me to call you Hosekko?” She asks softly. “I can give you time to think about it, if you’d like.”

“Yes, some thinking time would be nice.” She replies. She has been Azula for the entirety of her life, for better or for worse. She doesn’t think that she wants to part with Azula entirely, even if it is just in name. 

“We will understand either way.” Ran adds.

Azula nods, “thank you.” 

They return her nod and leave her to get dressed. She emerges from her room to Toph’s very loud declaration. “Hujiang!” She holds–upside down–a theater poster. “That’s where the traveling group is now.” She pauses. “I sure hope that this poster says ‘Hujiang’ because the guy who handed it to me said it does.”

“It says Hujiang.” Katara confirms. 

“What, what guy?” Mai mutters. 

“The one Toph and I ran into on our early morning walk!” TyLee grins. “He was very friendly. He kept trying to sell us cabbages though.”

“Wait, why would the cabbage merchant have theater posters?” Zuko asks. 

Sokka shrugs, “he’s kind of a running theme in our lives.”

“He said that he was planning on following the Burrowing Badgermole Troupe to try to boost cabbage sales.” TyLee taps her finger on her chin and hums. “I don’t think that cabbage is theater food?”

“And he’s sure that the Burrowing Badgermole is mother’s group?”

“Well he’s only heard of one traveling troupe from Ba Sing Se.” Toph points out. 

“It’s the best lead that we have so we might as well follow it.” Azula replies. “As far as I know we don’t have any particular time constraints.” Evidently she just wants to get away from the Jasmine Dragon.

“I’m willing to give it a try.” Zuko agrees.

“Hujiang it is.” Aang confirms. 

“We’ll have a quick breakfast and be on our way before noon. Use breakfast to say your goodbyes to Iroh.” Azula replies. “Mother, father, and I will have a quicker breakfast and begin arranging the luggage. Is this agreeable?”

“Agreeable enough.” Zuko replies. 

Frankly she would rather depart right now but she will power her way through breakfast and its discomforts–namely having to sit at the same table as Iroh once more. It is no matter. They will be on their way soon enough and perhaps at a new altitude, she will have time to think.

She will certainly have much to mull over during this flight to Hujiang.

This is so Dragon Azula

Despite being cursed into a monster and being banished by your royal parents, you were happy with your life. Your home was peaceful. You always had enough to eat. You even had friends despite your appearance, so yeah your life was great. Your non-cursed sibling's life, on the other hand

[ofswordsandpens]

I fear that "fire bending didn't come easy to zuko" and "zuko isn't a prodigy" (both true) has somehow snowballed into "zuko is a bad or at best average fire bender".... which simply isn't true, especially by the end of book 3

[waterfire1848]

Favorite dragon!azula headcanons or ideas? Or just general Azula headcanons that people wanna share?

AU of Brave is the Heart That Loves but what do you think would happen if Kya and Hakoda found a young Azula and Zuko? Like the couple is driving along in a storm or something and they find two very young children who are just walking and, like the good people they are, bring the kids to the house so they can get warm and fed. Meanwhile, Ursa and Ozai are not too happy that their children wandered out of the house and are no where to be found.

Urzai would be BEYOND worried. One of their pups had already been kidnapped before. Not to mention, the rain makes it harder to track them down. Ursa nearly charges into town in full protective mama dragon form, but Ozai manages to convince her not to. Still, she's coming with him to search the town.

Meanwhile, Zuko and Azula are scared and worried about Hakoda and Kya taking them in. But they're too tired from putting up much of a protest.

Hakoda and Kya are confused about the siblings' dragon features but don't make a big deal about it in front of them. Katara and Sokka think it's cool and become fast friends with them.

After going from house to house, Ozai and Ursa finally come upon the Imiq's house. Since they're close, Ursa picks up on her pups' scent and bursts in. Zuko and Azula, now more awake thanks to warm clothes and tea, recognize her immediately. Hakoda and Kya give them over, so thankfully no one gets maimed.

Ozai helps settle things down and soon everyone gets the full story. Zuko and Azula snuck outside to hunt in the rain but ended up getting lost. That's when Hakoda and Kya found them wandering the side of the road shivering and barely conscious.

Zuko and Azula tell their parents how nice the Imiq family is. Ozai thanks them, but Ursa says nothing as she holds the siblings close. The adrenaline is still rushing, and she still does not trust other humans.

The storm lets up and the family returns home. The children keep asking to see Sokka and Katara again. A few days later, their parents agree and invite the Imiq family to their cabin as a thank you for helping their pups. Ursa takes a bit longer to open up to them, but with time she does warm up.
