For mutantgoldfish, who requested Azula/Koh.
All the Things That Got Cracked
She would have preferred death.
That was what she sought, to join her noble father. Her final strike was a desperate bid and perhaps that desperation was why she miscalculated. The death of the little waterbender enraged the Avatar as expected, but it also made him cruel, and Azula trembled at the horrible sight of him before he swept her away.
The cave is dank and musty and she wonders how she can still feel in the Spirit World.
The Avatar's voice is cold with rage, echoing with a thousand other voices all as angry, and he says, "I have a gift for you," and flings her forward.
She only sees it for an insant and she is shamed that the last emotion she ever showed was fear.
It is warm where she floats now and she is not sure where her real body is or if it is her real body that she now inhabits. She does not know if she is inside of him or if he is inside of her, but she can feel him always. He taunts and teases, his voice low and rough, and smiles a thousand different smiles at her.
He cherishes her most of all, she knows, because of the way she came to him, because of the innocence she robbed even in her final moments. Sometimes she believes he admires her and the thought makes her shiver.
And that's when he slithers close and twines his body around hers, rubs a face against her neck, and whispers "mine" into her ear with her own voice.
