Ok, this is just a drabble about Azula being in love with Ozai and having an attraction to Long Feng because of that. I think any Long Feng and Azula action in the next episode will be squee-worthy excitement.

Don't own Avatar.

She had a penachant for older men. Dangerous men. Men like her daddy, Ozai, who Azula found herself often craving more than just a pat on the head from.

She deserved his attention. Earned his attention. And the attention from anyone like him was just an added bonus. Not that anyone could really compare attention from someone else to his attention.

Long Feng gave her much more than just a pat on the head. He sized her up with his eyes. Her power and authority, her deadliness... all combined to make her the only type of woman that could ever attract someone so ambitious.

"It's my brother" she had commanded to Long Feng and his men "you have my command to get him out of our way by any means necessary."

As usual, her brother was getting in the way of her and her business. Usually she'd have daddy to clear up the mess, but this time Long Feng was a good replacement.

And in exchange for his freedom and a few side benefits from the hand of the fire lord, he provided a useful alley.

Azula smiled authoritively and nodded at Long Feng, ignoring all those feelings rushing to her that she used to get when she was near the fire lord throne, able to help daddy on his most important decisions.

Long Feng was attractive. Power was attractive. Ambition was attractive. He had the whole package. Azula never understood why Mai and Ty Lee wasted their time thinking about boys like Zuko and the Avatar's friends when they could be thinking about men.

She supposed that Mai just went for losers. There was no bigger loser than her brother and she'd never seen Mai interested in anyone else. There was nothing else about Zuko that could be attractive. Maybe she just pitied him. But Mai didn't pity anyone. It must be that she's just attracted to losers.

Ty Lee likes anything 'cute'. Azula wondered if she'd ever grow up.

Azula would always be daddy's little girl, but she'd grown up. She was grown up enough to know what she wanted. Now she just needed a man who knew what he wanted. Someone like her father.

This one is for daddy. She thought, with a wry smile as Long Feng's Dai Li went off to take out her brother. Power was an exciting thing. An attractive thing.

A chill went down her spine, as she imagined her ideal reward when she got home, as being much more than a pat on the head.
