The ferry ride and train station scene happen like in canon. Jet sees Iroh heat his tea and assumes he’s a fire bender.
But unlike canon, he thinks Li is either a non-bender or an earth bender who is being coerced/kidnapped. Instead of going to the authorities, he tries to help Li personally. He wants to be there for him. Be supportive. Help him get away. So he keeps up a pleasant relationship and often stops by the tea shop. Occasionally, he and Zuko even go to friendly outings together.
Today is such a day.
Jet has already tested the waters a bit, but made no outright accusations. Zuko knows that Jet is suspicious, be he doesn’t know anything more than that.
But slowly, Jet is starting to loose his patience. He has shown Li that he can be trusted. He has shown Li that he can get him safely away from his abuser. Why does he keep evading his questions? Why won’t he admit the truth?
Finally, he snaps.
“Your uncle is hurting you! You don’t need to lie to me.”

Bow before Chieftess Yue and her consort Chief-King Zuko.
Zukos rank is directly below Yue, which was decided by them. Arnook and the council didn't like the idea, since that goes against their culture, but Zuko was raised in a society where gender doesn't determine role. He loves his wonderful, intelligent, determined wife. She's a great leader and Zuko is a good support.
Fruit of knowledge

Bonus:
Alternative turn on all the Arranged Marriage AUs: Katara is the firelord. Since she defeated Azula, by all the laws, she's legitly the firelord.
Fire sages: *come to help unconscious Zuko*
Katara: Good, he won, he's now the firelord
Fire sages: no you won you're the firelord
Katara: what
And since she doesn't want to be firelord (yet, it's Katara, give her some time and she'll feel super confortable with power) she arranges a marriage with Zuko so he keeps the power as it should have happened.
Zuko: *regains consciousness * Uh
Katara: *wearing a royal topknot and red robes* So, some things might have happened...
Extra points if it happens so fast he's still unconscious
Zuko: you're the firelord
Katara: yup
Zuko: and you married us
Katara: it was necessary, yes.
Zuko: without asking me first?!
Katara: do you want a divorce?
Zuko: No! No, i just-
Katara: Good. Now be a good firelady and help me with the external policies
THIS CONCEPT >>>>>
What am I saying of course you do.
This ended up being way longer than I intended so I’ll put them under a cut, but let me know if you want more. I think about these two a lot.

On the one hand I feel like Lu Ten absolutely would buy Zuko a bunch of expensive stuffed animals to try to one up the GAang, but on the other hand I really need to resist the urge to give Zuko an army of stuffed animals.
Lu Ten, shatters a window and climbs through it:
Lu Ten, turns around and helps Baby Zuko through it: Breaking and entering is wrong Zu.
Baby Zuko: Okay.
Anyone who tries to tell me that Azula doesn’t end up being the shortest in her family other than Iroh is wrong.
Zuko is taller, Mai is super fucking tall already, Ty Lee gets one of those weird growth spurts at like sixteen (it happened to me I got +2 inches), and Kiyi is eventually taller than Azula too. The entire concept of her being the strongest Firebender ever while she is (conceptually) the smallest is hilarious to me.
Mai: “If you can’t reach it just ask. I’ll get it for you.”
Azula: “Fuck you, I don’t need your help.”
Azula: *starts climbing the library bookshelf to get to the one book she wants all the way at the top*

Zuko: “I’m taller so I go first.”
Azula: “What does that have to do with anything? No one says that! You’re supposed to say it’s because you’re older.”
Zuko: “Yeah, but I like rubbing it in that I’m better than you at something.”
Azula: “Being tall isn’t a skill.”
Zuko: “That’s what short people say.”
— — —
Kiyi: “I was going to make a joke about you being short but then I figured that would be mean.”
Azula: “You know, sometimes it’s nice to keep your thoughts to yourself.”
— — —
Azula: “Stupid fucking genetics. This is Iroh’s fault.”
Ty Lee: “Technically he had nothing to do with it.”
Azula: “Hush, I need someone to blame for my being small.”
Ty Lee: “If it makes you feel better I love that you’re small so I can give you all the forehead kisses in the world with ease.”
Azula: “That makes me feel a little bit better but just barely.”
Just an idea because I love your drawings so much. How about Azula makingg Zuko give her a piggy back ride as they pad after Lu Ten :o.
If you're still thinking about a dead guy we only know by his relations and whose only purpose is to die for his father's backstory we know so little about, clap your hands
