you make a really good girl (as girls go) is an Avatar: The Last Airbender fanfic by suzukiblu gifted to Prim_the_Amazing. It is a well-regarded femslash work within the fandom and gets praise outside of hte fandom as well.

Summary

“Oh spirits,” Azula says, grinning widely. The Water Tribe is full of idiots. “You don’t want to marry Zuko, he’s useless. Also, he’s already engaged.”

“He is?” Yue blinks at her.

“Of course he is, he’s going to be the Fire Lord, he’s been engaged since he was twelve,” Azula says. A useless Fire Lord who she’s going to have to prop up, if not outright usurp, but Fire Lord all the same.

The things she does for this family, she swears.[1]

Helllooooo?!?!? Such an unexpected pairing but at the same time it's so fucking good 😭😭😭

Powerful women showing who are the boss!

The archetype for Azula/Yur 'fics, and it earns that status well. Solid characterisation, cultural observation, romance.

There is one way to make me be okay with imperialism: two princesses kissing each other, one who literally prayed to the spirits to not marry an annoying boy and the other not processing her literal wife may like her.

I can't believe Azula/Yue is one of my favorite ships now, this fic converted me in a single read-
