#old zutara got together idc

[sun-summoning]

#1 Reunion Note: Canon-compliant; surely geriatric!Zutara happened

When news of Toph’s failing health gets out, Zuko picks Katara up from the South Pole to ensure she can be at their friend’s bedside as soon as possible. They enter Toph’s room, rushing past the grandchildren and their friends. Lin leans against one wall while Suyin sits beside Toph. Zuko grits his teeth at the sight of her, laying in her bed with her white hair sprawled over the pillow. Katara chokes on a sob and sits when Suyin stands. 

“Sugar Queen,” Toph croaks. “Is that you?”

“Yes,” Katara replies. “I’m here Toph.”

“And Sparky? Did he come?”

“You didn’t hear me run in?” Zuko tries to smile, but he’s lost so many people he loves in the past few decades. It’s been so long since Aang and Sokka passed. He doesn’t know how he’ll cope after the loss of Toph. And to lose Katara -- Zuko takes a breath. “Losing your touch in your old age, champ?”

“Not at all.” Satisfied with the amount of mourning taking place in the room. Toph sits up. She raises her arms to get a good stretch and soon cracks her back.

“Um,” Opal’s dopy boyfriend says. “Um?!”

“Spit it out, boy.”

“Mother, what are you doing?” Toph bats Suyin away as she tries to ease her back into the bed. With her feet planted on the ground, she can feel her daughters’ concern, Opal and her boyfriend’s confusion, and, as expected, Katara and Zuko steadily growing annoyed.

“Toph,” Katara begins, using a scolding tone that brings Toph back to her childhood.

But Lin cottons on first. “Mother!” she hisses. “Did you...did you fake health issues to bring former the Fire Lord and Master Katara here?”

Toph cackles only a little bit. “You bet I did.”

“Mother!”

“What?” Without Suyin trying to get her back into the bed, Toph stands. She can feel Katara glaring at her and is certain Zuko is looking up at the ceiling wondering why this is still his life. “How did you get here so soon, by the way?” Toph asks Katara. “I thought I’d be stuck faking it in that bed for another week!”

“Zuko and Druk picked me up,” Katara replies dryly.

“Heh, I bet this isn’t the first time you rode Zuko’s dragon.”

“Toph!”

“What are you, twelve?” Katara grumbles.

“Nah, we both know that when I was twelve, my preferred jokes were about you handling his sword.”

“I was handling his sword! He said he’d show me how to use one!”

Toph ignores Katara in favour of waving her hands at the various non-elders in a shooing motion. “Anyone under the age of seventy needs to get out of here.”

Opal has to pull her flailing boyfriend through the door as he raves amount them being the original Team Avatar. Suyin is most certainly cross about this turn of events, but Lin is the only one muttering about it. When she’s finally alone with her two oldest friends that are still alive, Toph plops back onto the bed. 

“I thought they’d never leave.” Neither Katara nor Zuko say anything, so Toph sighs. “So are we going to make small talk or should we get straight to business?”

“I happen to like small talk. How is your family?” Katara asks pleasantly, no doubt to spite Toph.

“Oh, don’t be like that, Sweetness.” Toph shrugs. “You just saw my girls. I’d say they’re sufficiently pissed. The grandkids are fine too, I guess. Anyway--”

“Izumi and Iroh are well.”

“--you two were in love when we were younger and you’re still in love now.”

“Toph!” Zuko yells.

“Wow.” Katara sighs. “You’re really doing this.”

“It’s just the three of us now.” The statement renders them all silent. She remembers how devastated Katara was to lose her brother and husband in such quick succession. Toph is happy on her own in the swamp, but Katara and Zuko always surrounded themselves with the people they loved and she worried about them being alone. Sure, Zuko did have his daughter and grandson, but Toph needs them to open their eyes to more. “You guys can be happy now.”

It’s an old argument, really, and one Toph has only ever had with them separately and only a handful of times. She’s also never been so direct. Zuko and Katara love each other. Zuko and Katara have been in love with each other for over half a century and were both too committed to their perceived duties to act on their feelings anymore than looks of longing and a scant few secluded meetings back in their early twenties.

“I was happy, Toph. I am happy.” Katara glances at Zuko. “We both are.”

“It’s not the same,” Toph says. 

Neither of them deny this. 

“I’m the only person whose ever heard the way your hearts race when you’re with each other.” Toph snorts. “It’s sickening. I can hear it right now.”

“Toph...”

“All I’m saying is that...I don’t know, you guys have my blessing.”

“Thanks,” Zuko mutters wryly.

“And if any of the kids put up a fight, send them to me. They can deal. You’re both super old now.”

“Thanks.”

“You’ve given so much of your lives to saving the world and keeping its peace and making sure everyone else stayed happy. It’s time to be selfish, okay?”

Katara and Zuko stay silent, and Toph knows she’s finally getting to them. She understands why they never wanted to act on their feelings even when the timing was finally right. Still, that’s dreadfully unfair and Toph refuses to let the universe deny them any longer. 

They’re both thinking about it, Toph knows. They’re both finally thinking about it.

Zuko breaks the silence. “I always wanted my own tea shop.”

“Your tea has only gotten worse, Zuko,” Katara scoffs. “You can’t have a tea shop.”

“Well how else would we spend all our time, Katara?”

Toph shakes her head at their lighthearted bickering. Katara sits on the chair while Zuko remains on the foot of the bed, the two planning out a not so hypothetical future together. Toph lays back on the bed and closes her eyes. She might not have been as sick as her daughters thought she was, but she’s still old and tired. And although she’s not as young as she used to be, listening to Zuko and Katara finally moving forward all because she played them, Toph knows she’s still got it.

[fandoms4enternity]

Dipcifica Kids

Mason (now Junior) Pines (I KNOW SOME OF YALL WONT BEIIEVE ME BUT I THOUGHT OF THIS NAME BEFORE DIPPER’S REAL NAME WAS REVEALED):

16 years old

Bisexual

He’s kinda nerdy but likes sports. Very protective of family. He kinda has anger issues. Just don’t mess with his family or anyone he cares about. Very kind but can come off as cold hearted because of how much he cares like Winer from RWBY or Katara from ATLA. He’s popular. He is very much likes and feared by bullies

Faye Pines:

14 years old

Lesbian

Backstory: Mason was super excited to have a little sister. When he was around 4 and went to her crib by himself in his little kid voice he said “I pwomise to always look aftwer you” But then Kate came. Mason started hanging out with Kate and wasn’t there for his sister as much. At least that’s how she felt

Faye is a very energetic girl. She loves make up and shopping. She’s very optimistic and likes to have fun. Loves going to the mall. Boys at school fawn over her. Her best friend is Hazel. She is jealous of her brother and Kate. She hates her brother for “leaving” her. She just wants to hang out with him. And she doesn’t exactly know why she doesn’t like seeing Mason and Kate together but she really admires Kate.

Mabel’s kid (The husband is a made up character I made. Hopefully I talked about him when taking about them as teens)

Hazel ‘Pines’:

14 years old

Pansexual & Poly

Hazel is the sweetest girl. She’s super kind and shows is. She’s very empathetic. She has a lot of hope. She believes in change and redemption. She’s has the perfect mix of prettiness and smarts. She’s also some weird powerful child like the avatar. She was born with blue eyes and has the real power of telepathy.

Wendy’s Kids (She’s a lesbian. Idc what y’all say)

Kate Corduroy:

16 years old

Bisexual

Kate is the cool girl like her mother except she has more of that stereotypical optimistic and chill side. She isn’t secret stressed 24/7. She doesn’t actually like people thinking she’s just like her mother. She is VERY free spirited and yes she also breaks rules like cliche teens. In fact Mason joins in on breaking rules with her. Kate also like skateboarding which she has tried to teach Hazel how to do.

Gabe corduroy:

14 years old

Gay

Gabe is the sweetest boy. Very kind. But also easily scared. He loves his friends. KINDA hates his brother. Musical theater nerd 100%. Poor baby gets bullied a bit. Has a crush on Mason.

Gavin Corduroy:

14

Straight

Tbh he’s kinda an incel. He’s basically sokka. One of those jerky guys but will end up learning to not be an incel. Was kinda homophobic. Him and Gabe were trying to persuade Faye and Hazel before but then Gabe and Hazel of course didn’t work out and Faye is a lesbian... soo... oof.

(Yes the last two are twins)

Tambie kid:

Hunter: typical good kid who likes the bad boy aesthetic. Hazel likes him for who he is and finds his trying to be bad boy quirk extremely adorable. Hunter can be a little emo. Honestly he’s a lot like Varian from the Tangled series.

Laura: (Idk if I talked about her yet. But this is Amada’s child)

Laura was on the evil side for a long time. Like Zuko. She’s very stubborn and arrogant but she’s not that bad if you get to know her. Which Hazel did. Mason hates her tho. Laura has a similar personally to her messed up mother but also similar to Cassandra from The tangled series. She’s honestly a pretty complicated character. It’d be easier to explain her with questions

I have a character I haven’t named yet. She’s just guard girl. Remember this is a future royal au. She’s pretty normal. Very sweet. Chill. Just hangs out. She can be pretty shy tho. She beloved in the “no talking to the royals” rule. Which she didn’t realize wasn’t a rule in this kingdom. She and Mason have talked a little. She had a thing for him but now here are some of the ships based off crushes or what I think people would ship and then I’ll put the ideal ships which I might explain later if I feel like it

Mason x Kate ((was the ideal ship but I love the idea of it being Wendy’s son crushing on Dipcifica’s son even more: BFF Childhood friends to lovers)

Mason x Gabe (IDEAL SHIP: Not bffs but still childhood friend-lovers trope)

Mason x Laura (This would be such a popular ship because of the aesthetic. It’s like Zutara but so much better because they have the Dipcifica chemistry)

Mason x Guard girl (Cute But Nah)

Kate x Faye (Kinda ideal ship. It was and idk if I wanna keep it. Hopeless/hopeful pining shipping)

Kate x Hazel (A really cute ship. Two kind skateboard girls. Cute idea)

Kate x Laura (I only just thought of this. The idea is interesting)

Kate x Hunter (Nah. Wouldn’t it work. I know this is the only guy ship with Kate aside from Mason but it really wouldn’t work. Kate wouldn’t even consider Hunter. They would be good friends tho)

Faye x Gavin: Lmao sike. Faye is a lesbian y’all.

Faye x Laura: (Interesting. But Laura is more likely to pick Mason even over Faye. Sorry Faye 😭 but If my au got popular I wouldn’t be surprised to see fanart of them)

Gabe’s best ship is with Mason

Gabe x Hunter (Two cute dorky boys. Meh. Perhaps)

Gavin x Hazel (She might help him to be less of an incel.. but nah. They both have to give something)

Gavin x Laura (For spoiler reasons this cannot happen)

Hazel x Laura (IDEAL SHIP)

Hazel x Hunter (IDEAL SHIP)

Laura x Hunter: (MAYBE. Cool goth mean “evil” mean girl and a dorky fake “bad boy” as her boyfriend. Certainly interesting)

Gavin x Gaurd Girl (IDEAL SHIP)

I realized I never made a kid for Soos and Melody. I’ll think about it.
