#yall middle child azula rights let me hear it

[hello-yue-here]

📓📓📓

THANK YOU

this time: zuko and kiyi and azula

look. ive never read the comics. i dont intend to. ive seen ppl say good things and bad things and im honestly too scared to even read them at this point. but i do know that there is a half sister named kiyi and DAMMIT IF IM NOT GONNA FUCKIN RUN WITH THAT.

think of it: middle child azula.

OH MY GOD. middle child azula. this is her chance to be free.

its an azula redemption fic because yeah she did some fucked up shit but at the same time she was an abused child. she deserved a chance at a better life. so fuck yeah. azula redemption.

azula had been going to therapy and speaking with zuko and iroh and trying to rebuild her relationships with them. mai and ty lee came by to see her a couple of times over the years but it was still hard. its been a few years after the war, but she finally feels ready to return home. zuko is waiting for her at the palace with mai ty lee and iroh.

as well as ursa ikem and kiyi.

azula knew the three of them would be there. but she has no idea how yo respond. she is stiff and awkward and people are concerned that shes angry because her face is doing that weird thing where she crunches her eyebrows (let it be known that in my head azulas confused, conflicted, anxious, and angry faces are literally all the same face. she has one facial expression and its 🤨)

look idk shit ab yhe comics so for this fics sake this is the first time azula and kiyi ever meet. idk if thats right or not in canon but fuck canon this is mine.

kiyi is VERY excited to meet azula. azula is like who tf is this kid.

azula and kiyi bonding. azula reconnecting with her mother and trying to rebuild a relationship with her. azula interacting with ikem and finally having a real father figure (she just didnt connect with iroh the way zuko did)

but the best part: kiyi is her younger sister.

which means everyone still babies her. azula thought shes be the one getting babied because of her past, but nope. they know shes an adult now and they believe in her progress. so everyones always paying attention to little 10 year old kiyi (idk her age go away nothing matters)

on the flipside, if they arent worried about kiyi theyre worried about zuko. zuko is now in his 20’s or whatever and is still trying to dissolve the monarchy but bla bla bla ppl are giving him a hard time so everyones concerned that hes too stressed.

sure they still care about axula. they dont ignore her. but no one is there to criticize her imperfections anynore. no one expects her to come up with flawless invasion plans anymore. no one expects her to look perfect at all times. no one expects her to keep her mouth shut unless asked to speak. no one expects her to be perfect.

and azula finally feels free. she feels free to do her little sisters hair and laugh about her silly crushes at school. she feels free to paint with her brother and not let herself compare whos art is better. she feels free to just have fun with mai and ty lee by seeing plays and going out and having fun instead of hunting down avatars.

azula isnt in the spotlight anymore. and she couldnt be happier.
