The Girl and the Fire Lord
Hot ZukoxOC(s) story with love triangles, lies, love, and lots of tea. It's mature for a reason but that isn't the main plot. I write in character, so everything sounds like something Zuko would actually say. Yay! Vote if you like it :) Zuko has just been crowned the fire lord. Bearing the weight of his responsibilities consumes most of his time, but he has recently noticed a beautiful girl who feeds the turtle ducks every morning. Unfortunately, becoming the Fire Lord didn't make him any smoother. *** 29,337 words totalComplete
