Picture This Zutara Fandom… 

that’s it. that’s their relationship

The ghost of Lue Ten haunts the halls of the fire nation capital,

Ozai was not one who miscalculated often.

He had ordered the death of his nephew in the hopes of destroying his brother’s claim to the throne. It had worked, somewhat but what his wife then did, cemented the success. His nephew was dead, his father was dead, his brother was too emotionally destroyed to take the throne, which left Ozai to take it.

He shouldn’t have underestimated how annoying his nephew could be.

He had assumed he was imagining things the first time he looked out into the garden and saw a soldier with blood rolling down the side of his head, sitting with his son by the turtle duck pond. He blinked and the image was gone. It had meant nothing.

Until the image returned two weeks later practicing cartwheels with Azula and her acrobatic friend. That time the soldier had looked dead at him and smiled. It wasn’t a kind smile and Ozai shivered as the image disappeared.

The third time he saw the spirit, as Ozai had no other explanation for the apparition of his dead nephew, he was following behind Iroh, as he always did.

Iroh unknowingly walked the halls of the palace, with his son at his heals. That’s where Lu Ten decided to stay, until the night of the Agni Kai.

As Ozai burned his hand print into his son’s face, he made the mistake of looking up. Lu Ten stood over him, his eyes burning with fury even as blood slid down his forehead into them.

Ozai stumbled back, having never seen his nephew’s spirit up so close before. The men he had paid to kill him had apparently tried to crush his head, if the slightly deformed skull was anything to go by.

Ozai shook himself and left the arena.

Lu Ten was in his office. Ozai left.

Lu Ten was in his throne room. Ozai left.

Lu Ten was in his bedroom and Ozai realized he was now the one his nephew was following. Iroh and Zuko were gone and now Lu Ten was following him.

Ozai caved after a week of his new spirit stalker.

“What do you want?” Ozai finally asked, looking up at the corner Lu Ten stood in staring at him.

Lu Ten moved closer to him and Ozai backed up. Lu Ten was only interested in the paper and writing utensils on his desk.

The truth to be known.

“I can’t do that,” Ozai said.

Then get use to me.

Lu Ten faded from view again and Ozai sighed in relief before feeling something cold on his back. He reached behind him and his hand came back with blood. He turned around only to fall from his chair as Lu Ten, more corporeal then ever before, laughed at his fear.

He’s there for revenge, but also to watch over his cousins and take care of his dad.

IM ALIVE!!!! >:D

Haven’t been posting for 3 weeks I’m really sorry, school’s been really busy and finals are coming up :,)

There’s still some prompts from @zutaramonth I haven’t finished so keep working on them in the future, but for now i’ll be doing smaller posts like this

I did mention a while ago that I may start a short series , this is one of the scenes that spawned in my Bren.

Smol description of the scene: (Set in post 100 year war, Azula redemption and Ursa reunion) Handling multiple  assassination attempts and stress of being a Firelord, Zuko gets hardened and slightly unhinged. One time during a peace meeting with the gaang, Iroh, Kuei, Hakoda etc. New Ozai society+ Ozai launched a coup, Zuko got hit once, proceeds to go berserk, and turns out to be really good at lightning bending.

“Look at me Ozai! the failed product! The sentimental weakling! I may be a descendant of Roku, but never forget that I AM YOUR SON!”

while forming this image I listened to a list of songs :)

Cut Fruit 🍎🍓🍈🍊🍑

-

In Asian cultures, one of the most common forms of affection by a parent is to carefully peel and cut fruit. My mom would typically cut apples, but parents will prepare any fruit that’s available. I am loathe to think Iroh wouldn’t do the same for Zuko.

(this is also a nice article that explains the feelings behind it more)

Found on pinterest. Credit to the artist.

[Context is Aang's death from being struck by Azula's lightning]

Roku: He's not waking up, it's not working!

Kuruk: Yangchen, get over here!

Yangchen: I can't!

Kuruk: FOR AANG!

[Kuruk pushes Yangchen forward. She's holding a fruit pie, which she offers to Aang].

Yangchen: ...Oh, look, I have what appears to be... a delicious fruit pie! I sincerely hoped... nothing happens to... [her voice breaks and she drops the pie] OH AANG! [starts crying]

Kuruk: ... ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL HIM FASTER?

[Yangchen runs to hug Kuruk so tightly he can't breathe].

Kuruk: Yangchen!

[Kyoshi pushes both of them out of the way and walks towards an unconscious Aang. She grabs him by the robes and pulls him up off the floor, then frantically begins shaking him to wake him up].

Roku, Yangchen, Kuruk: KYOSHI!

Yangchen: WAIT A MINUTE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!

Roku: KYOSHI, STOP!

[All of them manage to stop Kyoshi by grabbing her arms and legs. She puts Aang back down slowly].

Kyoshi: I thought... violence... would be the answer.

First post!! That’s so exciting! Okay so for just a quick one here’s some headcanons I have from the time where Iroh and Zuko were at the tea shop

Lee was a….really bad employee. Like genuinely awful. He poured tea in people’s laps a lot, he was never where he was supposed to be, and his attitude was at best grumpy. In spite of all of that the regulars really liked having Lee around! They were mostly a bunch of old people who had seen their sons and grandsons all leave to go be a part of the war, so having a young man around them, even a young man who was so abrasive, was nice. Besides even under all of his anger there was clearly a good natured side to Lee.

When the shop was slow and the manager was out, Mushi would break out a Pai Sho table and challenge anyone to beat him in a game. If you did you would win free tea for a week and a generous serving of cake to go along with it. No one ever even came close to beating him

No one ever asked about Lee’s scar. It was one of those unspoken things that was just never mentioned. It was obvious what had happened, and none of them needed to know the whole gruesome story. Still most of the people who came by the tea shop and saw the boy’s face were more than a little grateful he had found his way to Ba Sing Se with his uncle

The regulars also found it a little sad that Lee couldn’t find any good buddies to pal around with. Even though there were few boys his age left in the lower rings (and those that were left were mostly thugs or low lifes) they still wished that their boy would have some friends of his own. It seemed that all Lee ever did was work. They were all happy to hear that Jin had asked him on a date. Nothing came of it, but Jin and Lee kept up a quaint but charming friendship afterward.

Even after Iroh got the Jasmine Dragon, he kept the prices pretty low, and the old regulars who came up from the lower ring drank for free They didn’t want any “charity” or anything, but Mushi simply wouldn’t take their money. He claimed that they had all beaten him in Pai Sho before, he was shocked they didn’t remember besting him. Lee just grumbled and threatened to push them out of the shop with his broom if they kept trying to give him money. They were also adamant that any customer who had anything bad to say about the customers from the lower ring would be asked to leave and not come back.
