One of my friends wanted a Yue/Zuko that didn't break canon and this was my idea. It's for G, who rocks majorly!
The Previous Arranged Marriage
Yue had known that princesses had everything given to them, but love. Just as the water flowed down to nourish the world, royalty must sacrifice themselves to care for the people. This she knew.
From a young age, she had known that she would be wed to the Fire Lord's heir. His name was Lu Ten and he was much older than her. He was Fire Nation, and she would be the offering to keep his armies from his shore. She would wonder if he was cruel or kind, but never ask questions. She didn't want to know.
Then when she was nine, she was gathered to the great chamber of her father and told that Lu Ten had died. She knew she should have wept for her fallen betrothed, but she only felt relieved. Marrying an older man from a foreign nation was something she had dreaded, she knew that.
Only a moment later, she felt her fire chains return. She would have a new husband. His name was Zuko. He was her age. His name was Zuko, the new heir to the throne. Yue again resigned herself to marriage to a stranger. Was he handsome or ugly? Was he caring or selfish? It would be too late by the time she knew.
On her thirteenth birthday, she had found out that her betrothal had been broken. Prince Zuko had been disowned and was an outcast. She had not been disappointed, happy to again be free of being the property of the Fire Nation.
It was only when she heard how the Prince had sacrificed himself to defend a division of helpless men that the relief turned to horror. Who would be the next man selected for her husband? Would she ever found another man so honorable? Yue feared she did not know.
