Shortest oneshot I've ever written that doesn't really count as drabble.
"To what do I owe the pleasure of having the esteemed Firelord visit me in my humble abode?" The seventeen-year-old princess drawled, looking up from her painting. Zuko smiled.
"I cannot visit my sister without an ulterior motive these days?" He asked innocently.
"You're getting better at the game, Zuzu." Azula commented. "But don't forget I'm the master liar here." She smirked. "Spill."
"Can't hide anything from you, can I?" Zuko muttered.
"I'm waiting." Azula placed her brush down and folded her arms expectantly.
"Mai's pregnant." Zuko said.
"And this concerns me how?" Azula quirked an eyebrow.
"I'm going to let you out. I want you to be a part of your niece or nephew's life." Zuko said.
"That's generous of you, Zuzu. Aren't you afraid that I'll corrupt your child?" Azula asked, stretching languidly.
"No. You've changed." Zuko stated. Azula tilted her head and tugged on the chains binding her ankles together. They made irritating clinking noises.
"Get these off me first." She said. Zuko smiled.
"Open the door." He commanded. The guards obeyed with a slight bit of hesitation, and when they were open the guard handed Zuko the key, and he bent down to unlock his sister's restraints himself.
"I'm honored to have been released by the Firelord." Azula said dryly, bowing her head slightly, showing deference.
"I released you as an older brother, not as your sovereign." Zuko said easily. The two of them walked out of the asylum together, and when their ship arrived back on the island where the capital city lay upon the extinct volcano, Azula smiled genuinely for the first time in years as she stepped down onto the soil of her birthplace. Zuko went to stand next to her and stood there serenely, the sunlight glinting off of the Firelord's golden headpiece. They climbed onto a palanquin and spent the journey to the palace in amicable silence.
The palanquin stopped in front of the main entrance to the palace. The siblings stepped down, and both of them gazed at the impressive structure in front of them.
"Welcome home, Princess Azula."
