Hey all! ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
beckyh2112 is having a anti whump-Zuko meme. It's gonna be good, but I thought it would be fun to explore the... darker side of our favorite fandom, in contrast.
This is not just Zuko-whump meme, per say. All Avatar characters are welcome in order to explore their darkest sides. After all, the road to hell is paved with good intentions isn't it? *Grin*
So go on and reply with up to 4 requests. I promise to do at least 1 from everyone, so do your darnest to be dark. (Although I'm drawing the line at rape and incest.)

Azula and Li In Ba Sing Se
.
.
.
Li’s hands are shaking. He closes his eyes for a moment, takes in a steady breath, but it’s all he can do not to spill the expensive spice all over himself. Old man Mushi is the real genius with tea. He was ever only a server – just learning the art of the trade. He isn’t ready for this… not ready at all…
But that’s not why he’s trembling.
He opened his eyes again, but there’s no sense of peace, because she is watching him. She catches his eye and a smile curves her lips. Somehow, Li thinks it’s not a very nice smile. He drops his gaze again, focusing on the cups.
“Is there a problem?” Her voice is so smooth, but cold. Like steel. Like finely polished blades – two of them, glinting in the sun and –
His hands are still shaking.
“No, Princess,” he mutters, head down, nearly speaking into his cups.
“Good.”
He doesn’t know when she moved, but at some point she did, and now those sharp pointed nails are grazing along the back of his neck. Li tries and fails not to flinch. The Princess is pretty, but her touch feels so wrong… wrong… wrong…
“Make sure you wear your best tunic,” she’s saying, and her nails lightly scratch along his skin. It’s almost a caress. “I want all of my servants to be at their most presentable for the Fire Lord this evening.”
“Yes, Princess.”
She studies him a moment longer, as if awaiting some other reaction. Li only stares at his tea-tray, trying not to think of what the hand stroking the back of his neck was capable of: Everyone heard how she struck the Avatar himself from the sky.
Which is odd, because there’s no war in Ba Sing Se.
After another moment, the Princess smiles again and mercifully walks out of the room.
Li looks down. One of the delicate porcelain teacups has been shattered in his hand. Strange. He didn’t remember picking it up. Didn’t remember squeezing.
One of the shards has dug into the heel of his hand. He pulls it out and watches the blood drip down.
Li fishes out a spare towel and dutifully wipes his tray clean before attending to his wound. The Fire Lord is a very important guest, and all must be made ready.

Sorry for sticking plot bunnies in your head.
