Momo & Lee from the Tea Shop

Silly little AU of mine about Zuko & Momo during the Ba Sing Se arc.

Like he does in Canon, Momo wanders around the city in search of Appa. At some point he runs into Zuko and — oh, isn't that this scary fire guy who chased us around the world and somehow always managed to find us?

Momo's first instinct is to run away but… if Fire Guy can find them so easily, he can surely also find Appa. The chances of Fire Guy finding Appa are much higher than with Aang and his friends, so Momo decides to stick around.

Zuko, on the other hand, has reluctantly assumed the identity of tea servant Lee and certainly didn't expect the Avatar's lemur to suddenly appear and follow him at every turn. But hey — that's a good thing, it means, the Avatar is in town and maybe he can blackmail him with that stupid monkey.

There's only one problem: To blackmail the Avatar, he must find and contact him first. So Zuko waits and uses the nights to blue spirit around and look for the Avatar and the days he spends at the tea shop. The stupid lemur won't let himself be locked in a cage but that's fine, after all, he follows Zuko around nonstop.

And as time passes, Zuko wonders how the Avatar can stand it — can't that stupid monkey leave him alone for a damn second?? It's particularly annoying when the lemur climbs over his shoulders while he's serving tea or lies on his face, chirping, when he wants to sleep. Zuko starts to doubt if the Avatar will give up his freedom for the lemur. Maybe he doesn't like that monkey at all and just hasn't found a way to stop it from following him?

Meanwhile, Aang is a little worried about Momo, but he's used to his little friend wandering around on his own. And sometimes Momo comes by in the deep of the night (when Zuko is sleeping) to get some treats, so he's probably fine. Accordingly, Aang does not start a search for the lemur and concentrates fully on finding Appa.

When Zuko finds wanted posters for Appa, but none for Momo, this increases his doubts, and he's fed up with the lemur. Can't it just leave?

What makes it even worse is that the whole tea shop, and Uncle in particular, find it indescribably endearing to see him with the lemur on his head and a sour face. Uncle even tried (unsuccessfully) to teach it Pai Sho. Sometimes Zuko is on the verge of roasting the lemur with a burst of fire, but… no, he can't just harm an innocent animal like that.

And before he knows it, he has gotten used to the little pest and perhaps started to like it a tiny, tiny bit? It's still a nuisance, but maybe — just maybe — it's nice to have a little furry ball snuggle up to him in the night or offer him a handful of berries for breakfast.

Then Zuko frees Appa and Momo leaves with the sky bison. Zuko gets sick and really misses falling asleep with Momo's ears tickling his nose. Sometimes he dreams that Momo visits him and brings him some berries, but these are certainly just feverish hallucinations, right? Right?

Momo doesn't know how he came to like Fire Guy so much, but he's not so interested in why. What is certain is that Fire Guy won't be getting rid of him any time soon.

asian parents totally would [grab your face like a stress ball and comb your hair in a way you wouldn't wanna be caught dead in] 0/10 would not recommend.

I was having flashbacks to my father combing my hair that way.

can't add it now, but consider: lan-wei was so good at brainwashing zuko because this is actually his second time brainwashing a fire nation prince. or: lee has a favorite regular. it's a guardsman named min-su who always comes in during his break. he's a refugee who moved here a little after the dragon of the west's failed siege.

it's funny. they get along like they've known each other all their lives.
