Love and empathy were weaknesses he could never abide. Power was the only pursuit, the only thing that mattered. In this endless chase he let his approval be conditional for success, his wrath abundant for failure, the slightest sign of compassion chastised with remorseless cruelty. 

Disappointment would hover at the door, a dread shadow barring the only exit to my room as he watches. I hold this pen with the tightest grip, several already broken lying at my feet. I know he isn't there anymore, that the shadow isn't real. But still I feel the lash of his venomed words, the fear of his rebuke... and his malicious hand rising to scar me like you Zuko. Most of all I feared his love... the twisted love he could only have shared with one before me. 

People see a monster... I became such to survive. There was no other choice... even now people reject me over the bitter past. Do you still hate me brother? Does mother even care?

This the story of my personal take on a very personal redemption arc. I felt as though Smoke and Shadow took characters in a direction that seemed out of character and forgot what was hinted in The Promise and The Search so I'm taking things into my own hands! The prologue will be my perspective in the latter aforementioned comics and then from there we will explore a new story. I hope you all enjoy!

The Concubine's Apprentice (an Avatar: The Last Airbender Fanfiction Zuko x OC)

60 parts Complete

An Avatar: The Last Airbender Fanfiction (Zuko X OC) "And lastly, we are free, but we are not our own persons." At this, the student frowned and looked up at her teacher. "How can that be free?" The beautiful woman smiled, but it didn't reach her eyes like it usually did. It was a sad smile. "You will learn it all eventually, little one. For now, we must practice your footwork." Mentored from youth by the most notorious entertainer in all of Fire Nation, Chiyo is destined to follow her path to greatness. However during the time of war and chaos, she must decide: Should she do what is right? Should she do as her mentor had always done? Or should she follow her heart? I do not own any of the characters except for the OCs I've introduced. I do not own the pictures used in the cover and those to be used in reference to future chapters. Any historical details I impart on this story is not entirely accurate and is based only on my limited knowledge of the subject. Anyways, please enjoy!
