   Summary

   Yzako, blessed by a dying dragon whose spirit joined with hers the day she was born, has lived her entire life in chains. Molded into a weapon for the Fire Nation, she's known as The Golden Dragon, and when Fire Lord Ozai offers her a deal that will win her the freedom she craves, she has no choice but to accept. When she finally meets the banished prince she's been sent to assassinate, though, she realizes that she might not be able to kill him after all. (Zuko/OC, smutty romance with lots of plot and some canon typical angst)
