Zuko doesn't necessarily want to live with her again lmao siblings will be siblings, but he does very desperately want to be on good terms with her. He's written off his dad but every single person he lets go of will be a big production. He can't help but see Azula as a victim instead of an abuser, like he eventually came to see his father, which makes it even more difficult for him to let go. And of course he has Lilith encouraging him in holding on hahahaha.

Awww, I didn't realize how much depth she has to her though, obviously I probably should've given that she's from TB. They'll probably end up being good allies.

The books are... hmm, somewhat strange. Like I said, they're more realistic and more unflinching, and they do preserve that sense of humor that's in the show, but the show diverges completely once they get to season two and it's not necessarily bad. The show is much snappier, anyway, and has gorgeous cinematography and music, which obviously books can't replicate. |D The books are more crass, I'd put it, though in that appealing way Dexter has.
