When the Fire Nation's Royal Airship made landfall at dusk on Ember Island, Mai was reminded of her teenaged self with her only two friends and on again, off again boyfriend during their forced vacation. Summer, Agni knows it had been ages ago since the four had been on the same ship, breathing the same air and being as cordial as possible, despite the growing tension between two, royal siblings.
"I heard you telling someone you'd be partying from dusk 'til dawn. It's dusk, so we're here".
"Uh, that was just an expression".
"We are the perfect party guests. We arrive right on time because we are very punctual".
Mai snorted disgustingly through her nose, spewing some of the delicious chai tea she was holding in both palms as she overlooked the twins' tiny, dilapidated beach house. Both twins had left this world within months of the other and due to a quiet pact between the sisters, no one knew whether it was Lo or Li who had passed away first. Their joint head stone even read as Lo and Li without a birth or death date. They were inarguably "ancient".
Fire Lady Mai sighed softly, thinking on the bittersweet memories of her teen years, prompting the handsome, newly appointed admiral to ask on her well-being.
"Should I get more tea fetched, Your Highness?" He asked, removing his helmet before giving a low bow.
Mai shook her head. "No, but Admiral Chan, were you and your family ever compensated for the damage done to your home?"
Admiral Chan raised an eyebrow, then two when he connected the memory. A deep, red blush tinted his carved, matured cheekbones.
"Well, yeah…Your Highness, of course," he answered, not meeting her eyes. "The fire lord promoted me. And after I joined the military, my dad's finally talking to me again. Don't tell anyone please? I kind of tried to forget that night ever happened".
Mai nodded, unable to hold a wicked chuckle. "Your secret's safe with me, Admiral," she said.
"Speaking of, where's your cute friend, nowadays?"
Mai smiled as she thought on the bubbly Ty Lee, following her mother's footsteps very quickly in becoming a wealthy housewife with four children. She was excited to see the former Kyoshi Warrior for a much needed vacation away from needy husbands and kids".
"She'll be meeting us on the island". Mai informed him.
"The fire princess?" Asked Chan, making Mai shake her head violently.
She was used to "The Cute Friend" meaning Ty Lee. Never Azula. Though the Fire Nation's former princess was beyond beautiful, she had an ugly blemish on her track record that she found difficult to conceal as the consequences of her actions revealed slowly a very, unstable, inner monster that Mai always knew was there and Ty Lee tried to ignore for the sake of friendship. After the war's end and various criminal activities that she was never held accountable for, thanks to the perks of royalty, Azula left the Fire Nation by choice years ago and had since performed her greatest feat yet, disappearing off the face of the earth.
Mai had attempted to contact her by messenger hawk about their vacation each year to no avail. Perhaps it was for the best, but deep down in a part of Mai's mind there was a side that wondered if her friend was safe, warm or happy.
"Sorry, I thought you meant Lady Ty Lee," Mai corrected herself.
The admiral nodded. "Yeah, she was a looker too, but the princess was something else. Insane, but…gorgeous". His eyes seemed distant, lost in the waves beneath them as he spoke.
Wow, Azula! How do you make people fall head over heels with your insanity?
"I have not heard from the princess, but…" Mai halted her answer to the admiral when the ship's bridge was lowered unto the land. Standing there, in plain, red clothing sat Princess Azula atop her dragon, Chinatsu, yet wearing the same terrifying look she was known for. Without her armor, the princess could easily be mistaken for a petite, 5'5 commoner in her old red outfit from their last summer vacation, showing off her impressive mid-section that had remained unchanged since she was 14.
Now 22, her eyes were calmer, though still brilliantly gold. Those eyes watched the fire lady descend from the ship with the admiral at her side.
"Well, you are still one for surprises," commented Fire Lady Mai. "I did not expect an answer to my messages after all this time".
The princess gave a curt nod, of course, instead of bowing when the two were face to face on the shore. "I figured the nation was ashes so I used them for Chinatsu's target practice," she smirked, smugly. "Why Ember Island? Pray tell, are you covering an affair?"
Mai rolled her eyes, noticing Admiral Chan's deep, red cheeks.
"Or was it the fire lord and the avatar? They were suspiciously close…"
"Azula," Mai groaned.
"Ooooh, don't tell me, you caught the water peasant fucking Zuzu in the royal gardens? I knew there was something between them!"
"Fuck you, Azula," Mai hissed, very un-fire-ladylike, before clearing her throat. "My husband and I are just fine. Speaking of which, have you found your own?"
Azula shrugged, sliding sideways off her formidable dragon with a hop unto the sand. Chinatsu snorted dark smoke from her nostrils as she laid her head down for Azula to pet her.
"I tried, but my sweetheart got jealous so we used him for target practice as well," she answered, smoothly.
Admiral Chan gave a nervous chuckle before saluting and excusing himself. "Ladies, enjoy your vacation," he nearly squealed as he backpedaled to the ship. "Lady Mai, I will return in a month as discussed".
Mai nodded. Azula continued to pet her dragon, oblivious to the looks of longing over the "one that got away" that the young admiral was giving. The two reformed friends exchanged a quick, though always awkward hug before Azula waved away her pet.
"Do you worry someone will capture her?" Asked Mai in awe as the dragon spiraled into the air before taking off at the speed of Azula's lightning into the distant sunset.
"No," Azula said simply. "Now, what fun festivities do you have planned for us, old buddy, old pal?" She added in a fake, high-pitched tone as they walked the sandy shore towards the bustling beach town. "I'm sure the bar-"
"Yes, and Ty Lee is meeting us there".
Azula's stomped face would have been hilarious if Mai wasn't worried for her friend. In her letters that Azula claimed to not have read, Mai intentionally left out the part about the lost love of Azula's life joining them on their vacation, hoping that she would not regret doing so now.
"Why so quiet, Princess? Surely, your feelings for Ty are gone. She's married".
"I know that. I was there, Mai," Azula snarled.
The little amusement that the fire lady had bursting whatever high bubble Azula was in was gone now. The princess actually looked nervous for one of the few times since Mai had known her.

"More! Harder!" Screamed the mixed-bred girl in Azula's ear, her tangled brown braid thumped against the princess's lower back when she reared her head back in pure bliss with each snap of Azula's thrusting hips.
Lines of sweat coated the girl's neck and closed eyelids. Amazed at her stamina, which nearly matched that of her own, Azula controlled her breathing latching her lips unto a pulsing, green vein to suckle as if drawing blood. High pitched gasps were thrilling to hear along with various obscenities as Kori's hips worked her faster. Azula dug her nails into the young woman's sides as she rocked with her, basking in Kori's twisted face of pleasure.
"You want this," The statement crept from her lips and Kori knew it was not a question. "Tell me how badly you want this," commanded the princess, shifting her hips in circular patterns. "Tell me I am the best you've ever had," she added, kneading Kori's breast with one hand, while the other found her swollen flesh between her damp thighs.
"Agni! Yes! Princess, I'm yours!" The girl yelled out in bliss. "All…yours".
Azula smirked, giving her shoulder a lick before lying on her back, knees wide to get a full view of her prey's form from behind. The harness she wore was custom made and very difficult to obtain in the capital, yet here on Ember Island, one's fantasies were merely at the fingertips for the right price. The new harness served the princess well, allowing her to feel the stimulation in tandem with whatever bed partner she chose for the night.
As Kori bounced up and down slowly, the princess bit her lip eying her wet folds with her arms pillowed behind her head. The young rebel knew what she was doing. Azula gave a thrust up just to hear the maddening sound. The stimulation went due south, making a moan slip from her throat.
"I'm…I'm, Oh, Princess, I'm going to…" With a grip of Azula's ankles, Kori gave a cry that brought a sinister smirk on Azula's face before falling forward towards the edge of the bed.
"Mmm…" Azula groaned in her ear. "I'm not done with you, yet".
Rising to her knees, she gripped the cock attached to her harness in her hand. Kori cursed as she was filled again in her spent position, her chest buried into the mattress of the rental home's bed. Azula pulled the woman to her by the hips, not wasting time before beginning again with short thrusts, pulling out completely before diving back in. Kori's octaves increased along with her thrusts until she sounded very close to…to…
Azula shook her head, giving the woman two brutal smacks on the rear in frustration though Kori seemed to enjoy the action. "Oh, that's... it!" Kori was coming apart beneath her, legs trembling while Azula held her up by the hips.
The sweaty session was by far longer than she had anticipated. Of course, it had little to do with the woman she was fucking, but everything to do with the woman she wanted to fuck. Seeing Ty Lee again after the years since she was released to assist the fire lord on their quest to find Ursa had wreaked havoc in her mind. Not even a fifth of fire whiskey could calm her as it normally would. Instead, she called upon the services of the governor of Yu Dao's revolutionist daughter, who happened to be on vacation as well, for a drunken, filthy night that the young woman would cherish forever and Azula would not care to remember.
"It is so good to see you again, Princess," greeted a matured Ty Lee that Azula was not used to.
Not only had the acrobat changed physically with a more refined body, but she had likewise changed in tone. Instead of pink auras, she was discussing politics and childbirth with Azula and Mai inside Ember Island's Fiery Breath bar. Azula wanted to ravish the acrobat on the table that held their drinks, on the floor, the bar, the beach, her face any and everywhere. She wanted to wake up to the woman's scent and wear it all day. Ty Lee would beg for her skills and twist in whatever position she asked.
The third, full bottle of wine was now empty thanks to the princess, at which Mai raised an eyebrow. "Someone's thirsty, I see," remarked the fire lady with a hint of teasing in her tone that Azula completely missed as she concentrated on her empty glass instead of Ty Lee's low cut, pink blouse in front of her. "I'm sure Ty could use a drink after four kids".
The comment brought two pairs of golden eyes together. Ty Lee giggled, making Azula nearly melt at the cuteness of the sound. At least that had not changed, unlike the acrobat's marital status.
"I'm fine, really. You know I was never a big drinker. I'll leave that to you two. Plus, Mak wouldn't like it. He says it's bad for fertility".
Before Azula could roll her eyes and give a quick, vicious retort, Mai stepped on her toe with her heel, making her grind her teeth instead.
"He's probably right," drawled Mai casually, ignoring Azula's glare. "Which is why Zuko had better be happy with Izumi. I am closed for business".
With a cheer, Mai finished off her wine. Ty Lee shrugged. "I love my babies. Mak is so good with them. I'm glad Zuko's giving him a nice time. He had it rough as a soldier during the war".
Azula chuckled, "He didn't do anything, but mop the flo-Ah!"
Shooting the wide-eyed princess a glare of her own, Mai cleared her throat. "Yes, General Mak is one of Zuko's closest friends," she said, before adding. "I'm glad you're happily married with kids, Ty. It's what you always wanted".
Azula took the hint and tried her best to keep sudden tears from welding. I have to stop drinking. She reminded herself, looking out the window as Mai and Ty Lee continued their conversation.
Azula felt the fasteners loosen from her harness and turned her attention back to Kori.
To hell with Mai. She thought, grasping brown locks of hair to guide the woman's mouth. She can't stop me from dreaming.
Kori moaned when her face was buried in the princess, falling into rhythm as Azula rode her with wild force and short gasps of air. The scent of her idol drove Kori crazy. Lapping everything she could muster, she felt pride shake her own limbs when Azula's gasps grew higher along with shaking legs. Kori pressed the royal's legs unto the mattress and focused.
"Shit!" Cried Azula, lost in the wave that shook her, red heels tapping the mattress to Kori's satisfaction.
Her reward was beautiful and tasted heavenly. "I'm going to leave my boyfriend," promised the woman afterwards with her head atop Azula's sweaty, inner thigh. "You're amazing, Princess Azula. So...perfect".
Azula ran her fingers through the woman's tresses, her mind envisioning her acrobatic, chi-blocking, married friend in her head.
"Tell me more," she said, breathlessly, needing the encouragement that Ty Lee would give without reward. "Tell me about how perfect I am".
Kori kissed her thigh. "You're incredible. Will we do this again?"
Azula's smile widened. "Only if you beg nicely. I do understand cravings".
Big, huge gratitude to Led Feyman, M.D. D.D.S. Ph.D for the premise to this story. Yes, yet ANOTHER story to add to my collection of unfinished tales. But hey, it is Tyzula month so of course I will be paying homage to my OTP, totally canon ladies. All other stories will be written, but on a brief hiatus for the month of June. I may or may not add a little Korrasami here or there since it is PRIDE month. Hope you all enjoyed. QTZ.
