010. Feathers (Set in the same AU as Roses.)
Azula let out a sigh as she continued to prod her dinner. The meal had already gone cold and she had yet to take a bite.
"Is everything alright, Azula?" Ursa asked.
The girl in question looked up from her food to see her mother sitting across from her, she also noted that they were the only two left at the table. Figuring that her mother would be the best person to talk to about her current situation, Azula decided to talk. "Well... I met this boy-"
Before Azula could continue, Ursa let out a girlish squeal before running around the table, grabbing her daughter by her wrist, and dragging her all the way back to the girls room. Once in the the safety of Azula's room, Ursa locked the door before going onto the bed and sat down, bringing a pillow to her chest.
"Alright, tell me about him!" the girls mother whispered conspiratorially. Azula took a moment to just stare at her mother dumbly before shrugging and taking a seat on the bed as well.
"Well... I met him at Ba Sing Se, when I accompanied father to the peace hearings," she started. "At first, he was more of a bother than anything, but after a while, he just grew on me."
Ursa listened intently as her daughter told her story. "Well, we decided to spend the day together on the last day of the hearings. One thing led to another and... well... we kissed... a lot..." Azula paused a moment longer before finishing. "...With tongue..." she whispered.
Ursa burst into hysteric squeals causing Azula to turn a bright fiery red. "Fine! Be that way!" the girl yelled as she stormed out of the room. "It's not like I asked for your help in the first place," she muttered.
"Wait a second sweetie!" Ursa called out. "I didn't mean to ruffle your feathers! Let me give you some advice!"
The advice, however, fell on deaf ears as Azula stormed down the hallways. Ursa following closely behind.

011. Innocence (Set in the December AU, after Foreign)
When Azula and Sokka's one year engagement period ended, the two had to return to the Fire Nation for the wedding, as per the agreement with Ozai. When they arrived at the nation's capital, they were greeted with the cheers of the citizenry as they celebrated their princess' marriage.
After they disembarked the ship, Azula and Sokka were taken to the palace in separate palanquins. Once at their destination, the preparations for the wedding began. For the next week, Sokka was subject to rigorous moulding into the perfect groom. By the time they were finished, the water-tribesman was ready to jump out a window.
Azula, on the other hand, was pampered beyond belief. The woman didn't have to do anything! Sokka just gave it up as another quirk to being Ozai's little angel.
The week wouldn't go by fast enough for the soon-to-be groom. When the big day finally came, however, everything seem to go by in a blur, and before he even realized it, he was on a Fire Nation ship with his new wife held firmly in his embrace.
"How much longer until we reach the south pole?" Azula asked as she watched the sun set. Sokka gave a shrug as he kissed the top of her head and inhaled the smell of her hair. It was absolutely intoxicating.
"We should make it back before it gets too dark," he muttered into her hair. Azula shivered due to a combination of the cold and the sensation of being so close to her husband. She smiled at that thought.
Turning around to face Sokka, Azula wrapped her arms around his neck and simply stared into his blue eyes. Oh how she loved his crystal blue eyes. She then slowly brought her lips to his in a passionate kiss. Sokka held on to Azula tightly, her body pressed firmly against his own (this time there were no wounds to separate them).
As time went on the kiss intensified. Eventually, Azula began to prod Sokka's mouth with her tongue, and he did the same in return. In an attempt to bring herself even closer to her husband, Azula wrapped a leg around his waist, Sokka's hand immediately went to the raised thigh, gently messaging the limb through her clothes.
Without warning, the two fell over as the ship came to a halt. Together in a jumbled heap, the two began to survey what had just happened. Apparently the ship had finally reached its destination without them even realizing it. Looking at each other, the newlyweds shared an embarrassed chuckle before raising to their feet.
With the utmost haste, Sokka picked up Azula and quickly ran back to their igloo. Every so often they would share a quick kiss, but nothing too intense so as to prevent Sokka from falling face-first into the snow.
Once they reached their final destination, Sokka and Azula wasted no time getting ready to consummate their marriage. After sealing off the entrance to their home, Sokka went to rejoin his wife to find her completely naked.
Her back towards him and a blue flame in front of her setting the mood. Azula looked over her shoulder and sent Sokka a sultry look. He, in return, smirked and proceeded to remove his clothes. Sokka placed his hands on her hips and pressed her body to his. Leaning down, he began to kiss and nip at her neck, causing Azula to moan softly.
Walking closely together, the two made their way to their bedroom. That night, when they first made love, Azula had lost her innocence. The next morning, when she awoke to find herself held lovingly by her husband, she came to realize that nothing could be as pure as the bond she shared with the man she loved more than anything else in the world.

012. Wet (Set in the December AU, after Tapestry)
When Xifeng was born, Azula was slightly disappointed when she found out her daughter had blue eyes. She still loved her daughter dearly, but it hurt to know that she wouldn't be able to pass down her fire-bending skills to her first born.
When Kouen was born, Azula cried tears of joy when he first looked at her with those amber eyes of his. She had promised to make sure her son became the greatest fire-bender in history.
When Xifeng first used water-bending, Azula was shocked, after all, the little girl never once had lessons. Azula wasn't surprised so much by the act, but by how natural it seemed to be for the young girl. It was a natural reaction to a snowball flying towards her face, but when Xifeng raised her arms to defend herself, a huge column of ice erupted from the snow in front of her.
From that moment on, Xifeng had made a habit of practicing her water-bending everywhere, which resulted in holes of water located in certain parts of the igloo. Most of which were used as traps for Kouen. The five year old boy would always go running up to his mother complaining about Xifeng making him wet.
Azula would admit that she never babied her children (well once in a while yes) so she would often reply with, "quit being a baby, it's just water." From then on, Kouen would complain to his father.
When both of her children accompanied their father on their Ice Dodging coming of age ritual, Azula was truly afraid for the first time. Every time their small boat would speed past a quickly approaching iceberg her heart would nearly stop.
When their boat landed, Azula quickly engulfed her children in a tight hug, her wet tears streaming down her face. She had never felt such relief in her life.
When Sokka asked where his hug was, Azula pushed him into a nearby puddle. Their family wasn't the most traditional in the Southern Water Tribe, but they were most definitely the most enjoyable to watch.
