i'm fifteen, you jerk! (a:tla, reader insert)

"Aw, fuck. I'm wanted, too? That's not fair." you pouted, seeing the sign with your face on it. "Seriously, Y/N? You're being immature." Katara was stressed, and you placed your hand on her shoulder. "Hey, I'm the funny one. You know I'm amusing, otherwise you would've let me stay in a town."

You swiped a mask from a stand, placing it on. "Hey, I look kinda cool in this." you followed your friends to see a firebending show. "You know, I can firebend, too."

"Yeah, but would you teach me?" damn, Aang had a point. "...you're right. I won't teach you waterbending, either. You'll have to learn it somewhere else." Zuko and Azula were nestled in your arms, you had decided to forgo the scarf and let them see all of the tricks the festival had to offer.

They started to cry, and you realized that the mask was scaring them. You threw it off, letting it clatter to the ground. "Shh, little ones. It's okay. Nobody's gonna hurt you. Come, look at the tricks!"

"Is that her? No, she can't be." you heard someone whisper from beside you. "Make her look at us. If she has yellow eyes, she's the princess. If she doesn't, she's not." another person whispered. You turned to face them, preparing to fight. "Hey, what's this about a princess?" you said to them, but they didn't stop their muttering.

"The sign says she has twins, and look. There are two babies in her arms. Her eyes are a weird yellow tint, and her hair's black. She has to be the princess!" you laughed, shaking off your anxiety. "Excuse me, but I am no princess. These aren't my children, I'm just watching them for my sister. My eyes are yellow because of a disease I carry. Sorry, though."

"Oh. Yeah, that makes sense. Sorry for whispering about you!" one apologized. "Don't worry about it. I can see how I'd look like the princess. Meet Lee and Kyoka, my sister's kids." in all the fuss of being almost recognized, you didn't notice what was going on until you heard screaming.

"The Avatar!" Sokka grabbed your scarf, pulling you along as you ran. A man hissed at you to follow, and he led you into a forest clearing, away from the Fire Nation soldiers chasing after you.

"Please teach him! I don't possess the skills to help him!" you bowed. "Princess Y/N. What are you doing with the Avatar?" your frown deepened. "I'm here to provide better lives for my children, and Aang can provide me with them. Please teach him. If there isn't anything else, I'll be taking my leave now." you walked out of the hut, wanting nothing more than a nap.

"Aang, firebending isn't power. It's breath. The point isn't to just breathe, it's to find balance within yourself. That balance is the source of your firebending. Don't be impatient. I know you have a deadline, but skipping the basics will only lead to your downfall." you placed your hand on the impatient boy's shoulder, trying to get him to calm down. "You're right. I'm sorry. Please, I'm ready to learn your way."

"Katara!" you yelled, running over to the crying girl. "Katara, are you alright?!?" Sokka tackled Aang, scolding him for hurting Katara. "Sokka, calm down. Katara, are you okay? Go soak your hands in the water, it'll help." but Jeong Jeong had already arrived at the scene.

"Leave, now! I told you what would happen, and you didn't listen! You lack discipline!" the firebending master yelled. "Please don't say that. It was an honest mistake. I take full responsibility. Sir, it was I who burned Katara, not Aang." you lied effortlessly, already creating a fake scenario for if he asked you how.

"Y/N!" a familiar voice yelled, and your heart stopped in your chest when you saw Zhao. Soldiers surrounded you, and then Zhao was picking up Zuko from your scarf. "Don't touch my son!" you spat, and he held a flame up to Zuko's feet.

"No! Don't you fucking burn my son! That's my son!" you screeched, all control leaving your body. You heard footsteps, and you saw your friends, Jeong Jeong, and his men from the corner of your eye. You struggled, trying to break free. "I wonder," he mused. "where is the second? Is it also in here?" he picked up Azula, extinguishing the flame.

"Not my fucking daughter! Give her back! I'll kill you! Give my children back, you sick fuck! Let me go, I won't hesitate to kill you!" he only chuckled. "They do look like me. Good job, my dear wife. But I'm afraid to tell you that you're coming back home with me. And this time," he smirked. "you won't be leaving."
"Don't you fucking touch my kids! They're mine, not yours! You have no part in their lives, or mine, for that matter!" you finally broke free from the soldiers, grabbing your children and making a run for it. Jeong Jeong started to fight off Zhao, giving you the perfect distraction to escape.

You ran, hiding behind a big tree as you watched the battle go on. You're so weak. It's no wonder why father threw you away. You tucked away your twins in your scarf, hiding them from sight. It was a wonder that they weren't wailing, but then again, babies were really in tune with emotions. Maybe they felt that you were scared?

You watched as Aang tricked Zhao into burning his ships down. Thank god. Katara grabbed your wrist, running towards Appa.

"Oh, Aang. Your arm is burned. Here, let me help." as Katara healed Aang's burn, you stared at the sleeping children in your lap. "I'm so sorry," you murmured, partly to your children, and partly to yourself. "I'll stay in the next village. It's my fault. I'll give Azula and Zuko to a nice family. They'll live a happy life, and I'll go back to Zhao. I'm really sorry." you spoke up.

"No. It's not your fault, Y/N." Katara placed what was supposed to be a comforting arm on your shoulder, but it only made you feel worse. "No, it is. He might be after the Avatar, but I have the power to stop him. It's not a big deal, guys."

"It is! It's my fault that Zhao's after us, not yours!" Aang insisted. "Whatever," you sighed out. "I'm gonna take a nap. Wait, no. I'm gonna feed them, and then I'll take a nap."
