Night of Two Moons
Zuko paced worriedly back and forth in the throne room of the Fire Lord. What he'd thought of as the hard part - the invasion - was over now, and rather anticlimactically. Ozai had abandoned his throne, and tomorrow he would be crowned Fire Lord. Then would come the really hard part, trying to work with other leaders to ratify some sort of peace treaty, all the while glancing over his shoulder for when Ozai would make his move with the army he had with him, since a rather large number of Fire Benders were unaccounted for, along with the new War Balloons. Until that was nailed down, negotiations for peace were unlikely to progress well.
And as of right now, all of that was the least of his worries. Jin and Mai had asked to meet with him tonight, at the same time, in the royal quarters, with insistence that what they had to discuss had to be tonight, before he was officially crowned. They'd set a specific time for him to be there, and that time was slowly approaching. And despite everything, the one thought his mind kept returning to was, That's where grandfather died.
At long last, the time was upon him, and he made his way to the Royal Quarters, hoping he'd come out of this alive and more or less in one piece, physically, mentally, and emotionally.
When he arrived, he found them both sitting relaxed on the bed, Jin sending a smirk Mai's way and Mai seeming somehow flustered. When he entered, they both smiled at him, Jin more widely than Mai, even though Mai's smile was a bit wider than normal anyway. "Hey Zuko!" Jin greeted happily. "Come sit with us!" She patted the bed between the two of them.
Zuko's sense of personal danger shot up several notches, but he did as requested. "So...you two had something you wanted to talk to me about?" he asked nervously.
"More or less," Mai replied. "We certainly have a good amount to discuss."
Zuko nodded, swallowing. "Mai...I'm sorry I hurt you..."
"But not for what you did?"
Zuko winced, but he continued on. "...no. I did what I felt I had to do for your sake, to stay true to myself and protect you from what I saw myself having become. I won't apologize for that, only for the pain it caused you...and for that, I can only hope I can earn your forgiveness."
Mai stared at him for a time, then rolled her eyes. "You say that like I didn't already know you were a chivalrous idiot," she said at last. "Apology accepted." Leaning in, she placed her lips against his, catching him completely off guard. Just as he started to relax into the kiss and return it, she pulled back. Locking her eyes on his, she poked him in the chest to emphasize her words. "But don't you ever. Break up with me. Again."
Grinning wide in his nervousness, Zuko nodded readily.
Jin couldn't prevent her giggles. "You two are so cute together!" she squealed. "No wonder Cadence put so much effort into the two of you."
Zuko gulped as he turned towards her. "Jin...I..." Unsure what to say or do, he glanced back and forth between the two girls.
"We've been talking," Jin explained. "About how we feel about you."
"And we came to a rather surprising discovery," Mai continued. "Both of us would step aside and let the other be with you instead...if that's what would make you happy."
"Which just leaves us in a different quandary," Jin added as she saw the confusion on Zuko's face. "Because we know you care about us both...and after talking to you back before we left Ba Sing Se, I know you don't have it in you to hurt either of us by choosing the other."
"Jin had...a rather unique solution," Mai admitted. "She invited me to participate in an...experiment." She lowered her gaze, her cheeks coloring.
"It went surprisingly well for both of us," Jin pointed out as Zuko became more and more confused. "Which left us with a...rather equitable solution as a possibility."
"Which is why we're all here, now," Mai offered. "Before the coronation and all the official stuff goes through. While you and I are still technically vagabond traitors, and not saddled with the burdens of politics and society." She smiled softly. "It's not Prince Zuko or a Governor's daughter here."
"It's just Zuko...and just Mai...and just Jin," Jin concluded. "Here to see if you can handle both of us."
Zuko backed up on the bed, caught completely off guard, only to see the two of them turn to crawl towards him, wicked mischief in their eyes. He struggled to figure out what to do...only to recall obscure words of wisdom Iroh had given him when he'd asked him why girls were so strange.
"Zuko, there will be times in your life where you will be caught up in the flow of events, with no escape or resistance possible. At those times, all you can do is embrace it, and ride it out until you can once more guide your life and things make sense again." A soft chuckle. "That is the nature of men and women...at least from our perspective."
Finally getting a glimmering of the meaning of Iroh's strange advice, Zuko took the only option available to him...and embraced the flow of events before him, and the two who embodied that change.
Several hours later, Zuko sat out on the balcony, staring up at the moon. Taking in a deep breath, he exhaled a stream of smoke. He wasn't sure why his Fire Bending was causing him to exhale smoke just now...but it somehow seemed appropriate with how...disheveled yet refreshed he felt.
Much to his surprise, Cadence approached on near silent wings, circling around his smoke rings. "So...how'd your talk with Mai and Jin go?" she asked softly.
Zuko stared at her for a time, but the only response he could find energy to give was a goofy grin. Confused, Cadence glanced into the bedroom...and saw only discarded clothing and a very rumpled bed from which snoring could be heard.
Zuko struggled not to laugh at the bright blush on Cadence's cheeks. He didn't do a very good job.

I think cadences childhood is ruined.
i think zuko has what it takes to be a fire lord.........................................in bed at least.
Well that's very strange for a topic to be on here. Please everyone just talk about the story not outside topics!
I can almost imagine a little cartoony version on Zuko's shoulder of Iroh saying "Don't look at me"
Well, you've shown the pattern of pooling the love interests together in other PWNYverse stories, so why break off now?
That's are boy!
I think Cadance may loose her interest in doing this when she gets home. So not good news for Chrisy shippers out there! Great chapter and a good way to doge the kinky adult stuff.
Zuko is going to be quite the firelord.
Er.... O-kay... at least it wasn't a clop scene. Keeping it Teen is good.
WELL. THAT JUST HAPPENED.static.miraheze.org/allthetropeswiki/b/bc/Brain_bleach2_4427.jpg

That's a typo, i realise, but... heh. My brain just pictured this.

I think that's when Cadence admits that she did a too good of a job.
Zuko has achieved what most men seek in their lives...
Iroh's words of wisdom, though
6939922 It's beautiful!
I was certain Cadance had something to do with it!
But still it happened, and that is just gravy.
And his Firebending making him exhale smoke
It's HIGHLY amusing to see Zuko get the best of Cadence in the matter of Love & Relationships for once!!
Ho-kay, didn't see that-a comin'.
... I find myself wanting to say something (politely, tactfully, and without sounding like a jerk) against this, but find myself with nothing to say. I'm not sure how I feel about that. Looking forward to more.
Keep up the good work. Deus tecum.
It cant be helped that Zuko is hot stuff.
XD
Guess Zuko had a... Smoking good time.
We can probably say he did... Bedder than expected.
Seems that Mai and Jin went in with a fiery passion and rock hard resolve.
Guess the girls both agreed to... Bed their issues.
Wait...does that mean...
That was hilarious.

corny but true
6939875 And we all love tats for it. I personally look forward to his updates as the high point of my day. The exception being Sons of Damas, as I've never played jak and daxter. There are few authors I like as much as tats.
6940135
Actually, that was Jin's line.
This outcome pleases me, but then again I am the Emperor of a race that does this quite often. -fist bumps Zuko for joining the club of rulers with more than one hot wife, also gives him his complimentary welcome basket.-
Somewhere in the Multiverse
-Sacred Hearts Hospital-
Todd: Something wonderful has happened. A bro did it with two chicks five!
Turk: YEAH!

So then, it's time for everyone's favorite: "How Will F14m3rz Spaz the Flip out This Time?!"
Well, the first thing I would do is ask for Cadence for advice on what to do about the Fire Nation colonies still occupying the Earth Kingdom. If she says some nonsense about Death Notes or some such, talk things out with Aang and tell Mai EVERYTHING, regardless of how I might feel about it... oh, wait, that's right. This
isn't a thing. That's a shame, Aang went through this REALLY cool piece of character development in the third part.
Yeah, and then she said "Buck it, I'm sick of their On-again-off-again relationship," and made an executive decision without consulting the legislation. Why hasn't she been impeached?... Sorry, a political debate's going on in the background.
...
....
..... BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... Zuko, you lucky punk. Do NOT waste this opportunity.
{Tatsurou: But wait, I thought you said tha-}
SCREW WHAT I SAID, these are THREEWAYS we're talking about! Not your run-of-the-mill threesomes, but a relationship that's mutually beneficial to all three parties. Besides, we all know I don't know what I'm talking about for some of the time (yeah, "some"), so if Zuko wants to do this, LET HIM.
{Tatsurou: *shrugs* As long as your priorities are in order.}
Wait for it...
Cadence... forget you. Yeah, we just missed out on some off-screen shenanigans of a citrus variety, but reading your expression makes it all WORTH IT...
And that's all our time for "How Will F14m3rz Spaz the Flip out This Time?!" This has been your host, F14m3rz.
A very enjoyable chapter. Well done.
"Night of Two Moons"
...
Masterful.

Pony Zuko found here.
So, bets on who is going to wind up pregnant first?
6939934
Such love.
Muck kinky.
Well Zuko, I have a feeling that for your current situation, the immortal words of one blue armored lover is needed.
May his sword give you power over the ladies forever onwards.
6940193 Dint forget Naze from Gundam Iron Blood Orphans!
Well ok then wonder what how this will play out.
6941063 My bet is on the same time.
6940128 I WILL FIND YOU AND DESTROY YOU!
6941172 Damn it, you beat me to it!
Two moons, eh?
6940128
There's a special place in hell reserved for you, Lucifer will greet you with open arms for your sins outweigh his.
Sadly, he's got a point.
Oooh, right, so a lot of baggage in that room, huh?
OK, this seems way too easy.
Indeed.
You chivalrous idiot.
She has a point, Firebender or not, she's got a lot of tricks up her sleeves. Literally, it's her shtick.
Experiment, what do you, *gets it* Oh, oh my,
Yep, jut Zuko, Mai, and Jin.
I want to make a joke, but I'm not gonna ruin the moment.
Heh.
Zuko gets ALL the ladies.
6940193 i'm not sure if i should spoil part of a story that will be published all at once or not...
