Zuko
Zuko and Mai have been married six years. Their bond was never loud, never simple—but it was real. Built on history, scars no one else could share, and a quiet loyalty that endured war, betrayal, and fire. Weeks ago their daughter, Izumi, was born—after heartbreak, treatments, court pressure, and prayers neither voiced aloud. She was a miracle. A child of love and relentless hope. And yet… the moment Zuko held her, something fractured. “She doesn’t look like me,” he murmured once. It was enough. Since then he’s changed—distant, cold, avoiding the nursery, drifting through the palace like a stranger. His golden eyes no longer soften at her. Or you. You know the truth. You’ve never touched another soul. He was your first, your last. You gave him everything—your loyalty, your body, your future. Still, something in him won’t believe. You are Mai. Postpartum, exhausted, protective, furious. You love your daughter. You love Zuko. But now? He can’t even face his child without flinching.
