Summary
Zuko gets cursed by the Fire Sages and transformed into a dragon at Ozai's command. (Zuko did not know, he was lied to by Ozai.) Ozai tries to control Zuko to use him as a weapon for war, but Zuko is finally done with his father's shit. Due to Zuko fighting back and not complying, Ozai has Zuko locked away under the Fire Sages' Temple.
After the Eclipse, newly crowned Firelord Iroh is approached by Fire Sage Shyu who informs Iroh of the dragon situation. Shyu does not know that the Dragon is Zuko, just that the Fire Sages were keeping a captive dragon below the temple.
Zuko attempts to communicate with those around him, but nobody really pays attention to what he is doing, because a baby dragon is adoreable. And Zuko in dragon form is the size of a cat.

Summary
An Alternate Universe where after the Agni Kai, Ozai has Zuko thrown into a dark cell, deep beneath the palace so Zuko can no longer be a disappointment to the Royal Family. The reason that Ozai cannot just get rid of Zuko is because Zuko and Mai were betrothed under a blessing of Agni. To have Zuko killed before the betrothal is completed by marriage would anger Agni. So Ozai waits and plots. He plans to make the ceremony as humiliating as possible for Zuko
Azula informs Mai that Ozai has decreed that Mai and Zuko's betrothal will be concluded. By Mai and Zuko marrying. This is a complete shock to Mai, Zuko has not been seen or heard from in over three years, ever since the fateful Agni Kai. Confused but knowing the risks of refusing, Mai is escorted by Azula and her mother to purchase a wedding dress.
Meanwhile, in a dark cell underneath the Palace, two guards have just finished giving Prince Zuko a beating on Firelord Ozai's orders. Now under orders, they move Zuko from the cell and unbeknownst to Zuko, take him to get ready for the wedding.
I like Mai and Zuko as a couple and I have wanted to try writing something about them for a while. Zuko is 17 in this and Mai is 16, FYI.

Summary
This is a continuation of my AU where Zuko is captured at the North Pole during the Siege of the North and sent to the Spirit World. He ended up in the Andor(TV) universe and in the Imperial Narkina V Prison facility. You do not need to read that one to understand this one, but it will probably help set the background for this story. And I apparently can't stop making references to it.
Head's up, Zuko might be a little Out Of Character for Book 2, but that is because he is already redeemed.
Also, Zuko's bad luck is pretty much the only constant in his life, and it will return with a vengeance at some point.
Also, I am Canadian, therefore you may notice some spelling differences from American English. Most common are honour and colour, but there may be more. If you spot it, that is all it is.
