a/n: Sorry for the delayed updates. Been so busy! So...here I come...with a small update...that is crack...

You wanna know what my response to Maiko is? THIS.

(How Zutara should become canon:)

"Oh Zuko,"

A playful laugh escaped the lips of a girl, as her hands ran through his hair. His smirk lingered on her pale skin, leading a trail of kisses that fell on her neck. A candle flickered, the aroma of cherry blossom bursting through the confined room.

"I love it when you express yourself," Zuko grinned, his lips nearing her ear.

Mai's eyes rolled back, as the red silk sheets of the bed gracefully tumbled off like water, and his arms wrapped around her waist. His lips tickled her ear, as his eyes fluttered closed, and suddenly he felt as if were somewhere else. It was all so wonderful, all so amazing, all so perfect—

"I'll save you from the pirates."

Suddenly, it seemed, he was choking.

On his words.

He looked down to see narrowed (not blue) eyes and a girl who did not seem to be very seduced.

"What?"

Zuko slept outside that night.

Under a full moon.

"Stupid peasant."
