Fandom: Avatar: The Last Airbender

Relationship(s): Ozai/Ursa, Ozai & his family, Ozai & his issues

Summary: This fic is about two things:

1) Treating Ozai as an actual character with motivations beyond simply Being Evil For The Sake Of Evilness, & dealing with his relationship with his family.
2) Making him suffer.

OR:

Ozai makes a deal with a spirit. It does not go well for him.

Chapter 1: What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

Chapter 2: Things Go Very Wrong

Extract:

“What is your wish, Prince Ozai?”

Ozai glared at the spirit – a monstrous snake (not a weaselsnake, or a badgersnake, or a catsnake – just a snake). He had not introduced himself and had deliberately left anything marking him as royalty behind for this little excursion. The nondescript clothing and concealing cloak he wore were of exemplary quality of course (he would not lower himself to dress like a peasant even for the sake of a disguise), but nothing that couldn't conceivably be worn by any member of the upper nobility. And it had come to its conclusion remarkably quickly…

He shook himself (mentally at least – he wasn't about to show that he was rattled in any way). Spirits had knowledge and abilities far beyond mortal comprehension. That was precisely why he was here.

He drew himself to his full height. “I wish for my father to see my worth.”
