Summary
Prompt: Festival
[ “You’re a firebender, yes?” she asked, a thumb absently stroking over his hand, warm from his inner fire. Then went on, not waiting for an answer. “Dancing is like sparring, but you’re not trying to win.”
“Then what’s the point?”
She sighed, but there was a small smile on her lips. “Not everything is a competition, you know.” ]Ozai slips away from a party to enjoy the festivities going on outside the palace & encounters a masked woman.

Prompt: Hair/Headpiece
[ “Interesting haircut,” someone commented. “Long hair, but some short bits on the top. You couldn’t make up your mind?"
Ozai just snarled wordlessly and turned away. The man should know as well as anyone what the shorter strands meant, that Ozai had had no input into his haircut. ]
Ozai gets sent to the Southern Water Tribe to help rebuild. It's cold & he hates it & nothing is going to change his mind.

Summary
Prompt: Role-Reversal
[ “Ozai, you know you cannot keep ignoring Azula’s obvious talents, or letting Zuko slack off.”
He sighed, doing his best not to be frustrated with her. He understood that Ursa’s determination that both her children be excellent firebenders, whatever the cost, was likely down to fear. As a non-bender and the granddaughter of a traitor, married to the secondborn son, her status in the family was precarious at best. Their need to prove to Azulon that they were worthy was something they had in common, but for her it was a chance to restore the honour of her entire family. ]
What if... Ozai was the kind, understanding parent & Ursa was the ambitious, cruel one?

Summary
Prompts: Caught in the Act, Post-War
[ Still, he thought later, as he helped a bunch of the tribesmen (and one Loser Lord) put up a wall, all that jerkbending really built up those muscles. Might as well put them to use.
Then he scratched at his collarbone, pushing his coat away from his neck slightly and…
Wait. Was that a hickey?! ]
Sokka is grudgingly accepting of the fact that the Loser Lord is living in his village in order to repay his debt to society or whatever it was that Zuko had said, but is horrified when he returns after some time away & sees a hickey on the man's neck. Who would betray the tribe in such a way? Looks like a mystery for Expert Detective Sokka!
