Ok, I'm going to cry a little. But your story is really awwsome.

I think that this is a very interesting interpretation, and it seems completely plausible based on what little we know about their childhoods. What I am curious about, in this and any other interpretation of the family, is exactly what role Ursa played, since we never really see her except through unreliable narrators. Did she actually prefer Zuko and spend more time with him, or did Azula just imagine it? If so, did she reject Azula? Did Azula reject her? Did Ozai monopolize Azula's time? Was Ursa just trying to be fair to Zuko by spending more time with him? We can't really tell, but I think that the answers to some of these questions would say a lot about how the family really worked.

I'm just short of crying now. Azula needs more love.

This story perfectly encapsulates Azula. You have an amzing handle on her psychology, and I like how you showed her possibilities as well as her past. Great read, thank you!

Awwww you made me sad now

Beautiful. I adore it. Can't believe I didn't come across this earlier.

This. This. My poor heart cannot take tge sadness. This perfectly characterized the pain that Azula must have gone through without it being overbearing. Now lemme cry in one corner. This is just so beautiful.

is it weird that i feel like i can relate? *cries*

This is beautiful, stunning, and wonderful. Especially liked the part on how she envisioned sending out armies and making all the continents love her.

Wow a darker look into Azula. But makes you wonder what if

This... Just... Yes... This was just... Wow

It's just so sad no one really saw it, so tragic no one tried.

Good story. :3

I really like this one. I don't believe that people are born evil, but influenced to become so. I think that the series portrayed her in too much of of a one sided way and nobody really ever saw the other possible side of her. However, everyone was at fault to a degree even if it was unintentional. Nobody noticed because all of it was so subtle that only the victim could feel it.

This reminds me of Gaara (I've been reading a few of your Naruto fics lately), the homocidal Gaara before he changed. I bet if it didn't happen, the similarities would be enormous. Sadly, there is no Naruto to help her and no one to ever understand. That's what makes this so sympathetic and empathetic in regards to her character because that detail was pointed out and we all realize how different she could've been.

Even if this is all speculation, I can see a lot of truth to it.

sad

These were all so heart-breakingly good, I have wayy too much studying and hw to be doing right now but I'm super stressed and reading this has been relieving it. Despite the fact its incredibly angsty and sad. But great work! Very creative alphabet Idea :)

This is so well written, I may be in love with your writing style too
I think you kept Azula in character but gave us the back story as well.
This was sad. And angsty but good angst? Idk XD
