Okay, If you'll recall in the first scene of Anastasia when the child Anastasia is playing with Tsar Nicholas, three girls, and a small boy, then you'll have Anastasia's family. Their next appearance was at the tail end of Once Upon a December when she was dancing with Nicholas while a small boy in a sailor suit (Alexei) was watching with his three sisters. Also, they appeared in the dream that Rasputin created for her to drag her off of the boat.

Just a little clarification there, with a little history added in from the other chapters with the family. Olga may seem OOC for a while, but there's a reason to my madness. Also, I don't own Anastasia nor Legend of Korra.

Anastasia had caught the ferry over to Republic City and made her way to the Avatar Aang statue. She went over to the place where she had been found wearing the old dress, which was now gone as if it had never existed. She was now wearing a strange dress, one of the ones that Asami had passed off to her as a welcoming gift.

"Anastasia!" she heard, and looked around confused.

Nobody here knew her name aside from those at Air Temple Island, and these voices sounded just like the ones of her dead family.

"Anastasia!" she heard again, and this time was able to pinpoint the location of the voices.

To her astonishment, she found the family that she had been mourning not even a day earlier back from their graves. But how was this possible?

"Mamma? Papa? Olga, Tatiana, Maria? Alexei?" she murmured, and a familiar thirteen year old rushed up to her in a familiar sailor suit.

"Anastasia!" he yelled happily and went to hug her.

But he went right through her, to all of their astonishment, and Anastasia looked around at the others in the area to find them not even caring about what was going on around them.

"Alexei?" she breathed as she saw the sailor suit, and he beamed up at her. "You-how did you get here? How are you alive? Where are the others?"

"They are with me," he smiled, "our forms are weak, but we can stay here undying, un-living, and-and putrified?"

"Petrified," Anastasia realized, and he nodded. "Avatar Aang brought you here? All of you? Even grandmamma?"

"No, but your mama, sisters and I are also here," Nicholas said with a fond smile. "Yes, it was Avatars Aang, Roku, Kyoshi, Kuruk, and Yangchen."

"Oh, this is wonderful!" Anastasia breathed as her eyes began to fill with joyful tears. "How long until you can stay with me?"

"That depends on how much Avatar Korra goes into Avatar State," Alexei replied looking up at his sister with bright eyes. "Aang said we're airbenders. What about you? He said you can bend an element, what is yours?"

"Fire," she spat like it was a swear word. "I hate it."

"Because of Rasputin burning the castle," Tatiana nodded and Alexei began to relay the message. "I can understand that part. Speaking of which, where is Rasputin?"

"Dead, I destroyed his tool, which in turn destroyed him and nearly me," Anastasia replied proudly before her countenance fell. "But I lost the love of my life in the process…"

"Who?" Alexei asked, and she looked at him sadly. "Who, Anastasia?"

"Demitri," she murmured, and his eyes widened. "Yes, the kitchen boy."

"You're a fool, Anastasia! Only a fool would fall in love with someone who wasn't of royal blood!" Olga yelled laughing, and Anastasia looked as though she had been slapped. "Find the Fire Lord's crown prince, or the heir to the earthbender or water tribe thrones, not a kitchen boy! Really, what royalty would want to marry you?"

"Olga! That was uncalled for!" Alexandra yelled, but Anastasia couldn't hear her scolding words.

The firebender's sudden rush of emotion had blocked off the hearing of her whole family outside of Alexei, who was trying to calm her. Maria, Tatiana, and Nicholas were staring as a black-haired male approached Anastasia from behind and cleared his throat warily.

"What now?" the princess demanded, and he looked over her shoulder to find the little brother that she had been so distraught over, but not the rest of them.

"I came to apologize for earlier," he said calmly, "I should have asked if you'd like a demonstration before simply beginning to practice. I also apologize for scaring you, and wish for you to know that I did not mean to."

"This doesn't change anything," Anastasia spat venomously. "I hate it!"

"Fire?" he asked, and she glared at him. "I'll take that as a yes. Why do you react this way to fire? Perhaps if we knew the cause…"

"There's nothing you can do, the castle was burned years ago," she spat, and the rest of the Romanov family bowed their heads in mourning of their home. "And the train – the one responsible for that is gone already."

"You're afraid of it, aren't you?" he asked, and she glared at him. "It's alright, it's not uncommon. I've met plenty of people who are afraid of fire, and of bending their own element. Look at Ivy, Aang and Katara's daughter. She was able to bend water, but she was terrified of doing so because of the time that she nearly drowned when she was eight."

Anastasia said nothing but simply glared at the ocean in pain at his words. What Iroh didn't tell her was that Ivy had almost been drowned by another waterbender, but he knew that Anastasia probably wouldn't argue against him in this case. She was silent, unmoving, uncaring even as her brother continued to keep asking her questions about her trip to Paris.

"You don't have to talk about the trip if you don't wish to," Iroh said quietly at last.

"I may as well," she murmured, her voice cracking with what was obviously emotional turmoil as Alexei finally had his mouth covered by Nicholas' hand. "You know that Rasputin attacked us when I was eight years old. I'm presuming you know of the fight that he and I had on the cobblestone bridge in Paris."

"Yes, vaguely," Iroh nodded. "What about the trip itself? You mentioned a train blowing up."

"Rasputin stopped at nothing to try to kill me," she said gravely. "The train blowing up, the lake, the night on the boat where my dream became real, the storms, the broken cobblestone bridge, it was all Rasputin's fault. Not necessarily in that order, but it was all his fault, and so was the fire that attacked the castle. I was so weak… I should have done something, anything…"

"It's not your fault," Iroh said in a voice that was meant to calm her down but only seemed to agitate her more. "He was as evil and insane as Azula, nothing more can be said. What happened to you and your family is none of your faults, it is his."

The Romanov family was silent as even Alexei faded from Iroh and Anastasia's views. Iroh could tell that something the strange-clad boy had said had changed Anastasia, but whatever it was that he'd said would have to wait for later. She was calmer now, much more so, and of this he was grateful. He watched the duchess walk over to the ferry to take her back to Air Temple Island and remained where he was for a few more minutes.

"I don't know who you are or what you said to her, young one," he said quietly, "but thank you for comforting my student."

And with that Iroh went on off after Anastasia.

How do you think the Romanov family will react to Iroh? I know that's a long time down the road, but I kind of want your opinions. Olga will be quite OOC because of a little kink in the travel plans, but eventually that will be worked out.

Anyways, please review and let me know your thoughts!
