Hello. I'm re-reading Clothe Me in Seasons, Dress Me in Snow and I have to ask, is Azula narrating the whole thing? Because throughout the fic the narrator sometimes reffers to Zuko as Zuzu.
Hi there! Nope, it's all from Zuko's point of view! When he refers to himself as Zuzu, it's really just to show that he has internalized her criticism of him. As a psychologist, I see this a lot: people will internalize the voices of the people around them (especially when they're young) and then these messages show up in their inner dialog. Like if my mom used to nag at me for not picking up my clothes, I might then grow up to nag at myself the same way if I see I left clothes on the floor. In Zuko's case, I think this would come up in moments when he's feeling especially insecure or frustrated with himself. Hope that helps, and thanks for reading!!
