#azula poll

We're assuming that Aang and Zuko are dead (but Zuko dying isn't directly Azula's fault), and with the war won and Zuko dead Ozai doesn't really care about the girls at all anymore, so Azula can do what she wants about them.

Yes, a lot of these choices options are basically crack options...

Round 2 narrowed it down to three remaining options:

9. Revolutionary Azula takes over Ba Sing Se AU

18. Dangerous Ladies find Ursa in Book 2

59. Mai and Ty Lee on trial for "war crimes"" and Azula has to save them

Links to Round One: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5.

In order to give us 12 options for Round 2, I decided that every AU idea which received 13.5% or more a the vote in a poll would move on.

These are our remaining options:

9. Revolutionary Azula takes over Ba Sing Se AU

12. What if Zuko had a nonbending twin sister (who he doesn't get along with).

18. Dangerous Ladies find Ursa in Book 2

21. Azula is thrown away to the NWT postwar as a trinket and Chief Arnook adopts her.

29. AU idea where Zuko keeps Azula permanently imprisoned in bad and torturous conditions postwar, and Izumi finds out about when she’s relatively young, and draws exactly the sort of conclusions about her parents that you would expect. Not to mention being terrified that she might be treated the same way if she missteps…

35. "Katara is supposed to have an arranged marriage with Zuko, but she falls in love with Azula instead."

43. I have to say, “Zuko has to deal with finding out that Ursa very much isn’t who he believed she was” remains excellent fanfic fodder.

45. Firelord Iroh treats Azula in a really screwed up way.

48. "Since so much of the fandom is convinced that Azula is Zuko’s older sister, I need an AU where this is true and Zuko is just as throne-obsessed as canon and spends all his time trying to usurp his older sister."

50. King Kuai adopts Azula as his heir

58. Iroh tries to kill Azula during "The Chase"

59. Mai and Ty Lee on trial for "war crimes"" and Azula has to save them

49. "AU where Ozai has a heart attack and dies right after the fire siblings return to the Fire Nation, and Zuko and Azula have to pick up the pieces. Meanwhile, the Gaang are plotting to overthrow them and bring the war to a close once and for all..."

50. King Kuai adopts Azula as his heir

51. Things get complicated, darkly (Azula exiled postwar AU)

52. What if Zuko tried to be a good brother

53. "I really need an AU where Lu Ten returns and is pissed over Ozai’s usurpation, so he kills Ozai, seizes the throne, and continues the war. Of course, Iroh ends up supporting his actual son in all of this, and the conflict in the Fire Nation ends up boiling down to Zuko and Azula vs. Lu Ten and Iroh as the situation spirals toward civil war, at the same time the 100 years war continues."

54. "Maizula AU where Mai married Zuko, but he died not long after Izumi was born, and Azula and Mai are secretly carrying out a relationship while raising Izumi and ruling the Fire Nation as her regents."

55. Azula joins the Gaang with a twist...

56. Lu Ten shows up postwar and wants the throne

57. Ursa opposes Firelord Zuko

58. Iroh tries to kill Azula during "The Chase"

59. Mai and Ty Lee on trial for "war crimes"" and Azula has to save them

60. Yue gets adopted by the Fire Nation Royal Family

37. Azula-Katara AU idea (or: Katara runs into an Azula who has changed a lot in some ways and not very much in others)

38. Zuko is actually Ikem's son

39. Firelord Azula ends her brother's exile

40. Azula raises Izumi (it's complicated)

41. "AU idea: Azula commits suicide out of despair, and just about everyone is convinced that Zuko had her murdered or at the very least “encouraged” her to do it."

42. Dangerous Ladies get banished/declared traitors and Azula basically gives up. Mai has to step up her place

43. I have to say, “Zuko has to deal with finding out that Ursa very much isn’t who he believed she was” remains excellent fanfic fodder.

44. "AU idea: Ursa is more aware of Ozai’s abuse and potential for abuse than in canon, so, right after her exile, she seeks out Iroh and charges him with protecting both of her children."

45. Firelord Iroh treats Azula in a really screwed up way.

46. "AU where Azula dies during the latter stages of the war or right after it, and Mai is the only person who ever morns her as a person, not as a politically convenient symbol (Ty Lee runs away from her complex feelings on Azula as much as she can)."

47. Dark idea (Firelord Zuko sells out Azula to the Earth Kingdom and the Dai Li brainwash her).

48. "Since so much of the fandom is convinced that Azula is Zuko’s older sister, I need an AU where this is true and Zuko is just as throne-obsessed as canon and spends all his time trying to usurp his older sister."

25. Aang has to save Azula from being executed by Zuko

26. Zuko's defection during DoBS goes very badly for Mai

27. Zuko joins the Gaang at Ba Sing Se, but it ends poorly

28. Zuko killed Azula during the Agni Kai, and now he has to deal with the consequences.

29. AU idea where Zuko keeps Azula permanently imprisoned in bad and torturous conditions postwar, and Izumi finds out about when she’s relatively young, and draws exactly the sort of conclusions about her parents that you would expect. Not to mention being terrified that she might be treated the same way if she missteps…

30. Ozai never declares Zuko and Iroh traitors

31. Iroh-Azula roleswap au

32. Zuko asks Azula for help with his firebending

33. Zuko wants Azula to like him but doesn't get why she doesn't like him (postwar)

34. Katara has an arranged marriage with Zuko and Azula tries to get into the good graces of her sister in law

35. "Katara is supposed to have an arranged marriage with Zuko, but she falls in love with Azula instead."

36. Another take on Zvtara (arranged marriage) and Maizula.
