Description
Zuko’s a man who has been framed for a crime he didn’t commit.Now, he’s on the lam, running from both the cops and his own outfit in a desperate attempt to clear his name. But when an old flame, Mai, steps back into his life, can he really trust her offer of help? Or will this femme fatale end up betraying him back to the people who set him up to take the fall in the first place… his own family?
Drawn on Tegaki
Submitted for FIRE NATION WEEK! Prompt: Breaking The Rules

Oh, no. Now I'm forever going to imagine Mai saying things like, "Relax, Zuko, those cops ain't never gonna find us in here." XD

And, how do their Fire powers work here … do they use normal guns that work like flamethrowers instead because of their Firebending abilities?

I know what to call your noir fanfic for this drawing …
get ready for it …
"In the Line of Fire".
I'm pretty sure it's been used before though.
Or "Under Fire", or almost anything with "Fire" in its title, really. 
Awesomedrawing.

Please allow me to flip out about how this seems to preempt the stylization of Legend of Korra.

Haha I love AUs! I also love the detail on Mai's dress and hair. 
We're working on a Maiko big bang for art and fanfics in LJ here and I was wondering if we could use this particular fanart for promo pics? Properly credited and everything of course. Thank you for considering

Nice. Why is it that Zuko reminds me of inspector Zenigata is this? Maybe it's the jaw,
Mai was made for those dresses, why do we never see her in one?!

I like the concept, but noir is more of black and white with hints of color. Maybe change the background color? Red is toooo bright to be nior.
