its love
Lol I have a baby zuko au in the works where he angers a spirit who says if he acts like a child so he should be one and the crew thinks hes gonna be a brat but hes really sweet and kind until he accidentally breaks something and cries begging not to be hit and the crew and iroh are ready to commit treason for this baby
Lieutenant jee becames papa jee and basically adopts zuko lol
Baby Zuko AU’s are honestly amazing because whether or not he has memories of being a teen changes the whole ass dynamic he has. Because actual baby Zuko is the absolute epitome of a well-behaved child who would do anything to make sure people are happy, but teenage Zuko in a child body is the one who’s like “I can trick them- wait they’re nice and don’t know... I’ll enjoy this a bit longer” and then never actually does shit because he’s getting positive attention from people.
Also, the crew finding out how bad Zuko had it as a kid because of his reactions to breaking something (likely inconsequential) is absolutely perfect.
Also, Jee gets a kid and the rest of the crew is just like, “This is fine.”
au where Zhao survives to see Zuko become Fire Lord and in their first meeting after the fact Zuko’s like “I am the leader of a nation and I will be a mature adult and I will not insult you BUT MY FRIENDS CAN, SOKKA GET IN HERE” and he makes Zhao stand there while Sokka roasts him for like an hour
Fruit of knowledge

Reunion for Dadrius week @sergeantsporks
coming out of my cave to say laurance, katelyn, and nana are the skincare fiends of the group
all to various degrees
kate pampers herself once a month
nana once a week
laurance is the guy who tells his friends to reapply sunscreen and cry when garroth tells him he only washes his face with water and soap
some Ty Lukos for the soul
