A collection of short side stories for The Spirit Tale of Fire Lord Ozai. It is recommended to read at least the first few chapters of the main story to understand the premise, but the setting can more-or-less be summed up as a pre-series Avatar the Last Airbender AU with more spirit meddling if you prefer to go in blind. First one-shot: An eleven-year-old Princess Azula encounters Agni in the palace halls. Zuko is there, too. Full version available on AO3! ~ Based on the first three seasons of the original ATLA cartoon (with the occasional tidbit taken from Korra, the comics, and/or the books). ~ Canon may (rarely) be tweaked for worldbuilding purposes. ~ Explorations of characters and POV that -- for whatever reason -- don't fit within the main story's narrative. ~ Unsubtle spirit intervention. (Or, if you will: Agni stole the script, La brought the red pen, and Tui has the best seat in the house but the other chairs are being filled quickly.) ~ The main story is rated M for Mature. (While not as graphic as it could be, it is not intended for children.) The side stories tend to bounce between T for Teen and M for Mature, depending on the themes present in each short. ~ The Sensitive Content warning includes: general war themes, the Fire Nation's royal family, and ATLA spirits. (This list may be incomplete.) ~ This story has not found much traction on this site and so I will not be posting future one-shots here. You can read further updates on the AO3 version.
