For day 3 of Comfortember, Nightmare

The night of Sozin's comet, Azula woke up screaming.

"Azula!" Zuko came bursting in, swords in one hand and fire in the other, hair mussed from sleep, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

She shuddered, tears beginning to trail down her face.

"What's going on?" Teo asked, poking his head around the doorframe, "I heard yelling… oh." He took in the scene, Azula shaking with suppressed sobs, Zuko standing in the middle of the room with his swords looking lost, "Okay," Teo clapped his hands, "Go back to bed Zuko, you have things to do in the morning and I can handle this. Go on, get!" he chivvied the reluctant fire lord out the door and closed it firmly behind him, then turned to his sister queen. "Azula?"

She finally let herself sob, barreling forward to wrap him in a hug, all but falling in his lap. "It was so awful," she gasped, "It was me, but wrong. I was, I was so cruel and manipulative and, and merciless, and all I cared about was getting Ozai's approval and making others fear me, and, and when I lost those I went mad, I drove myself mad, and, I tried to kill Zuko, and, and…"

"Whoa, hey, it's okay," Teo pulled her up into a proper hug, "It was just a dream. It wasn't really you."

"But it could've been!" Azula wailed, "If I'd never gone to Narnia, if I'd finished growing up in my father's court, I could've been that maddened monster, born of a broken child! That could've been me!" she wept, gasping for breath, as Teo stroked her hair.

"But it wasn't" he told her, "Whatever you could've been, Aslan saved you. By his grace, you will never become that."

"By Aslan's grace," Azula agreed, sniffling softly.

"Now, I managed to get ahold of these," Teo brandished several large bags of candy, "And I think it's high time we figured out what they tasted like roasted. For old times sake?"

Azula snorted, scrubbing at her eyes with a sleeve, "That sounds like an excellent idea," she agreed, "Lead on."

"Do you know any good places to do this?" he asked as they made their way down the hall, "Because I was thinking maybe the throne room…"

"Teo…" Azula snorted, trying for stern but missing, "No."

"Oh come on!" he complained, "Please?"

"No."
