Quick Meme: Demon'Verse

[beckyh2112]

(Yes, I'll get back to my other memes eventually, but I want to play with my shinies right now.)

You may blame my newfound love of the Detective Inspector Chen novels for this entirely.

Previous installments are:
- Ozai and Lu Ten, enjoying life
- Ursa/Ozai, the first impression was... memorable

This AU is Fire Nation-royal centric, so not including at least one of them will leave me flailing as much as I did over getting Selkie-verse Bumi and Mai in the random-draw meme.

One request. Two requests to the usual suspects.

MEME IS CLOSED.

Zuko, all that you are

[beckyh2112.livejournal.com]

The demon prince knelt before his uncle the Firelord.

He tried to ignore the whispers about the throne room. He knew he knelt differently from others - only his sister shared his backwards feet. He knew his father never appeared in formal court - his father was a demon of Hell and beholden to no one.

But his mother was a princess and a firebender, and he was a prince and a firebender. He belonged to the Firelord.

"Firelord Daiki," he said, pressing fist to palm in imitation of flame.

"Prince Zuko." His uncle's eyes were shadowed by the light cast from the curtain of flame in front of him. "You are almost sixteen, Prince Zuko. Almost a man of the Fire Nation, and a fully adult member of the royal house. It's time for you to earn that position." The flames lowered. "You will seek for the Avatar, Prince Zuko. You will find him and bring him to me."

Zuko felt his heart quail. The Avatar had been missing for a hundred years! Even Hell had not been able to find the Celestial-being, hidden as it was inside a human. Others had searched and searched without finding a trace of the man.

But if he found the Avatar, he would be accepted as a full member of the court. Zuko thought longingly of the whispers falling silent, of no longer hearing how his demon-blood weakened his firebending, how he was too unnatural for the Firelord to use as a pawn in a marriage-alliance, how he was too human to even be fashionable as a demon-lover. He would no longer be caught between Hell and the mortal world if he found the Avatar.

He would find the Avatar.

"As you command, Firelord," he said, pressing his forehead against the polished wooden floor.

Ooooh, purrr. ^_^
A very interesting universe you've crafted here, and I am definitely curious to explore it more! ::eyes other fics:: I love the twist on Zuko's hunt for the Avatar, and I love the little details- it reads very cinematically, I can really picture the scene! Picturing Zuko with backwards feet took a sec to wrap my brain around though. XD
Anyway, <3!
