#Zuko in that one fic

[nanabanonana]

Zuko: but, soft! what light through yonder window breaks? it is the east, and Sokka is the sun.

Sokka: wow, Zuko, i didn't know you knew poetry.

Zuko: what the fuck is poetry

[ash-and-starlight]

The world needs more Yue and Zuko friendship, I squeal just thinking abt the parallels. They deserve a life changing field trip together and if u have abt ideas I’m all ears 👀

Hiii anon this ask fermented in my inbox and in my brain for so long,, so take this??? Post canon yue lives/no war au arts?? Anyway aside from the Parallels and their political position & their duty before hoes grindset I think they could learn a lot from each other. With zuko learning the gift of patience & diplomacy from yue & Yue learning that allowing yourself to feel anger and speaking up can actually be Good.

anyway hypothetical life changing trip outcome: zuko takes an intro gender studies class and yue says fuck

(oh and also must not forget the crush on sokka)

Imperfect Canvass

Read on AO3.

It's easy to forget, there, in Caldera. So they do everything in their power to remember. . The Blue Spirit and the Painted Ghost meet in the city each night, two souls in eternal search for repentance. Katara tries to find a way to kill the war, whatever it takes. Zuko, the Perfect Prince, offers her the only pieces of him that remain.

You know I never shipped Zutara back in the day. But I've been thinking lately about how it would have looked for the disgraced prince that's been banished for three years; who briefly returned only to become a traitor again; helped the avatar topple the current regime; and then ended the 100 year war to also start courting a girl from the water tribe. I mean yeah Zuko is likely cleaning house of all the Ozai loyalists and many people were likely exhausted by the war and glad to see it end. But still that's a populace who's been fed propaganda for over 100 years on the righteousness of the war and the superiority of the fire nation and who now has a fire lord speaking against all of it. A fire lord who seems more comfortable with earth nation and water tribe dignitaries than his own people, including his choice of a bride . In a way Mai seems like the more politically sound choice. A way to reassure the fire nation that they're still a priority and that not too much will change. Fire Lady Katara could possibly only stoke the flames of civil war. But then as Iroh said water is the element of change with a deep sense of community that holds them together through anything, and I think it'd actually be really interesting to see Katara step into all of that political upheaval and change because she might actually be the perfect person to lead them through it. And now I'm really fascinated by that concept.

Swimming in a Mirror

Sparring is good for her then, she thinks. It’ll keeps her mind off things. But, as she assumes her starting stance across from Zuko, she see’s the middle of his chest and falters. Because that’s not how his chest used to be and she knows it. She stands limp and sees lightning and doesn’t even really hear him say her name. And Katara, feebly, asks, “does it still hurt?” Because it looks like it hurts. She’s worried that it hurts.

Summary: There's a heat wave in the Earth Kingdom so Katara and Zuko take refuge in the first river they find. And Katara thinks a lot about scars. (Finished for @zutaramonth 2024 day 5, Katara kept her scars)

really like the idea that Zuko wakes w the sun bc it gives him ample time to just stare at the love of his life while he sleeps all cute and drooling all over the pillow. it's cute (it's gross) and he wants to wake up to this sight for the rest of his days

meanwhile, Sokka keeps asking Zuko to pls not stare at him so early in the morning. he knows what he looks like and it's not flattering, no matter what Zuko says.

Sokka: stop looking at me

meanwhile Zuko: no ❤️

[ash-and-starlight]

Sokka splashed a line of water through his path. The fire fizzled. Zuko’s eyebrow raised, then he forged on. The path zigzagged out of the constellation, hopped eastwards through the galaxy’s north. Hiss. Hiss. Sokka met him each time with a streak of water. Zuko pressed on, building rhythm with each star he joined up.

Zuko's eyes watered against his will when the ghost of a woman he did not know smiled at him like he was her child.

Zuko decided right there and then that maybe, just maybe, this too was something he came to find.

Ghost-Mother takes a look into Zuko's soul in For the Spirits Chapter IX: A Rider Alone.

More than a stranded soul, Kya holds all the love of the Old Tribe and the means to calm a coming tempest. Zuko won't ever forget her.

(He won't be allowed to.)

editwithbettershadingorsomething Another lil sketchy thing for @ssreeder's wonderful "Leaving it all behind". I had to try to draw something from that scene in RIA. it was so absolutely precious ♥

“There are no teams!” - “There are now… Tent rules and this is Zuko’s tent, so his rules. Right?”

tfw you have a crush on you super extroverted and charismatic friend who's friends with everyone so you'd be a fool to think his friendship with you is special and he pulls you in for a photo for the thousandth time and you roll your eyes like you always do and pray that the camera doesn't show how much you're blushing and he says you look good in the picture but he's probably just being nice but you notice all the photos with you are always hanging in his room and that probably doesn't mean anything-- [id in alt]
