“As Zuko Watched The Lanterns Light Up Those Dark Nights, He Found It Hard To Believe That A World

Ok but Zuko using the knowledge he acquired during his banishment to help him as the Fire Lord. Like making small talk with Earth Kingdom dignitaries about their local foods that he enjoyed and even misses. Like having in-depth conversations with his captains about sea currents and navigation. Like, in the middle of a meeting with several high-ranking naval officials, pointing out flails in security, like how a person can cling to a Fire Nation ship for hours at a time, or climb aboard using hatches on the upper decks, or disguise themselves as a lower ranking guard with easily accessible spare armour….

Though none of his experiences can prepare Zuko for the long, awkward silence that comes after he admits to doing or at least knowing something illegal and/or completely buck wild

Jet thinks Zuko has been kidnapped Au

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.”

a lil appreciation post for music teachers, including my own :”) featuring cellist zuko and teacher piandao

Fire lord Zuko being just a bit ferrel . And his music taste is no different

At his coronation. Some of his surviving crew Start a sea shanty. Coz though he pretends he hates them they know he loves them.

There’s a moment of tense quiet when all the upperclass look at the new fire lord shocked at sutch a scandal. To see what he’ll do, expecting him to be angry . Only for Zuko ( who in his defence is still on a lot of pain meds ) to join in enthusiastically knowing all the words .

He also likes a lot of angry “ down with the fire lord” music that he Hurd in the earth kingdom. Witch is problematic since he now is said leader. He once took a protest completely off guard coz they were expecting a fight but Instead he told them to carry on coz he liked that song .

Zuko's crew. T_T I'm now convinced every night had some sort of family activity soused with boiler room hooch. Zuko has zero poker face on mahjong night, while Jee wipes everyone clean with his RBF. And let's not forget Zuko and Aang are Azula-lightning-scar buddies, too. In through the chest and out through the back.

SOBBING!! you are so right about everything omg. I mean zuko lived on the ship with that crew for three whole years, and like. ok yeah he was at peak bastard mode during that time but they MUST have bonded in some way!! Mandatory game night at least once a week! zuko might be shitty at table games but they find out he obliterates everyone at charade.

And AAA OMFG DID U READ MY MIND. I DO HAVE a doodle of aang & a very crispy zuko being “mortal wound from azula” buddies lmao. Slapped some color on it just for you. mwah.

(while we’re at it they also have an epic tsungi horn duo going on as a side gig)

All 12. I just need time to do the actual calendar bit but it’s almost done and will be up on my ko-fi shop as soon as I’m done.

Hidden scene idea where, after Azula's defeat, the Fire Sages approach Zuko with a shaving blade. His stomach drops.

'As is customary. The loser shall be shorn of her hair' they say. Zuko snatches the blade and throws it into the grate, into the waters down below. He sneers at them, the effort having exacerbated his pain.

'Customs are changing. Starting here and now. If you get anywhere near my sister, it better be because you've got a doctor with you.'

need a fic where butterflies start following ellie around and she has no idea sarah loved butterflies or there's any connection whatsoever but when they're sitting outside on the porch one day and a butterfly lands on ellie's shoulder joel thinks he's going to pass out

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 :)
