Summary
In which Wu (me) has a second and more official coronation in Ba Sing Se (read: no one interrupts this one and crushes the Kyoshi Medal of Freedom because really, that's just bad form and also? way to get upstaged, self) and gets a visit from a certain reticent but devastatingly handsome detective. Adventures follow, which include clipboards, crowns, katanas and even some kissing. (I like the kissing parts best.)
Series
- Part 3 of The Abdication of Hou-Ting LIV or: How Wu Learned to Stop Being Foolish and Love the Detective

Summary
The thing about soulmates when you are a royal is that you don't get to keep them. Wu's mother's was shipped to the Outer Ring. His father's, never spoken of. His great aunt's was imprisoned if you believe the rumors. Wu believes the rumors. And when Wu becomes Prince Wu, heir to the Earth Throne, over night, his chances of finding and keeping his soulmate drop to zero. But despite that, when a soulmark appears on his arm the very evening of meeting his new, hot, firebending bodyguard, Wu can't feel anything but joy.
The thing about soulmarks when you have a job that frequently leaves you bruised to hell and back is that sometimes you don't notice them until days later and now you don't know who caused them to appear. And the thing about being Prince Wu's newest bodyguard is that Mako has met so many people in the last week that his soulmate could be half of Republic City. The other thing about being Prince Wu's newest bodyguard is that half of Mako doesn't want to think too hard about his soulmate might be because there is no way someone like him would get so lucky as to have the next Earth Monarch as a soulmate no matter how lofty Mako's taste in people runs.
