Summary
A Captain without a ship. A Governor with a secret. An Ivory Merchant with overdue berthing fees. And a marriage built on a lie.
When Captain Miyuna is stripped of her Fire Navy command and forced into marriage suddenly, she expects a prison. Instead, she finds an ally in her new husband Tarz Ben Kuzo, a beautiful, soft-spoken nobleman who carries a hidden burden. Forced into a marriage of convenience, they find themselves trapped in the Colonial estate of the Jasmine Isles, performing the role of the perfect Fire Nation couple. Beneath the surface of their polite bows and shared tea, they forge an alliance to try fight fate and duty in a society where firebending lineage is everything.This is the story of Kiyoi's parents: her mother Miyuna, her father Hanokka, and her dad Tarz. The story of how a waterbender was born into a noble firebending household. A story Kiyoi will never fully know and can only guess at years later. What a treat, dear reader, that you get to know the truth.

Summary
Or alternative Title: Toph Kidnaps the Fire Lord
The Grand Advisor is woken at an unseemly hour of the morning and informed that she is now the emergency Fire Lord Regent. Why? Because the Fire Lord has been kidnapped from his own palace, the culprit leaving a cryptic and threatening note in his place.
Meanwhile, Toph has recruited Zuko for… well, he isn't entirely sure, because the plan keeps evolving. A heist? A business trip? A scam? An all-expenses-paid vacation to Ember Island? Regardless, it is a breath of fresh air away from the stifling Fire Palace and the endless paperwork of the Court’s Council Season. It’s not as if he had a choice, anyway; he had a debt to repay. He owed Toph a life-changing field trip, and since she claimed she cleared it with his staff, he is sure his Grand Advisor can hold down the fort for a few days.
This short is part of my series The Element of Change, but it can be read as a standalone. The important things to know about my OC Kiyoi Ben Kuzo, is that she is currently the Grand Advisor to the Fire Lord and has been Zuko’s “best friend” for years. More Context in notes:

Summary
In the wake of the devastating failure of the invasion, Kiyoi finds herself stranded and isolated in the Fire Nation. With only her wits and a determination to not become Azula's "honoured guest" she makes a daring break for freedom. Things seem to go wrong at every turn until her path intertwines with a neglected eel-hound and some old foes. This is the story of Kiyoi's profound solitude, determination, and fight against uncertainty. Did her friends make it out? Can she find them if they did? Where would they go?
Well, if there was one thing she had experience in, it was relentlessly pursuing the Avatar. She should be just fine.
Takes place during Book Three: Fire Episode 10 & 11 The Day of Black Sun, and Episode 12 The Western Air Temple. And is a continuation of Kiyoi's POV in chapter 20 of The Element of Change.

Summary
Kiyoi runs away from her home in the Colonies by stowing-away on a Fire Navy ship hoping to make it to the Fire Nation mainland. But as destiny would have it, she stows-away on the one ship in the Fire Navy that is forbidden from those waters. Stuck on a ship that can’t take her to where she wants to go and unable to return home, Kiyoi pleads with the kind old man that catches her stealing from the ship's pantry to take her in as a servant. And Iroh has no problem with that; the more the merrier. His scowling nephew, though, that’s another story.
How ironic that the stowaway that should have been the Prince’s enemy would become his best friend. It was like Iroh always said: Destiny is a funny thing.
But as Kiyoi flies away from Ba Sing Se, she isn’t laughing. She is crying. Choosing your destiny isn’t a funny thing; especially when the person you love most in the world chooses wrong.
