Their actual first meeting in the Kyoshi Warriors AU!
Katara had her Oh moment before exchanging a word with Jian Li, and while she gets over it in time (or, at least, convinces herself that she's not embarrassed by her initial reaction to him) this quasi-interaction haunts her for the first couple of days of their stay in Kyoshi Island.
It's just not fair that the place is full of gorgeous people! Or that he's not only beautiful, but also kind and awkward and respectful and dorky and—oh, La—she's in trouble.

And neither does he. She just knows he's gorgeous and isn't afraid to tell him so once she...#...notices that he's got self-esteem issues but manages to hide them with fake confidence#Then it's all Katara showering Jian Li with genuine praise and our boy spluttering and blushing like a schoolgirl with a crush for hours#But it's okay. He turns the tables on her.#Zuko as Jian Li

Sokka: You love me no matter what, right Zuko? Zuko: What did you do? Sokka: Nothing. Sokka: By the way do you know where Space Sword is? Zuko: . . . What will you do?
#sokka has a surprise meeting with some crotchety old firelord advisors#he just wants to talk with them#really!#he just also wants to know where space sword is#the two are not related at all he swears#the fact the advisors are the main ones blocking zuko's attempts to actually bring peace post war is just a coincidence!#incorrect quotes#incorrect avatar the last airbender quotes#avatar the last airbender#a;tla#zuko#sokka#zukka

pigeon hunting :)
redraw of an old doodle now that i have a clear idea of what aang's dino form looks like. background under the cut cuz im proud of it
#the avatar is not meeting zuko's expectations at ALL#first he was TWELVE#now he's a GLORIFIED CHICKEN#zuko unfortunately gains the title 'pigeon hunter'#which surprisingly helps keep others from trying to steal his thunder cuz who wants to be known as that#the gaang hears to nickname and the sibs are outraged on aang's behalf#meanwhile aang is just like 'i like pigeons c:'#anyway uh#embrace my au i beg of you#atla dino au#atla#zuko#aang

had a very sleepless night last night due to hurricane helene (only a tropical storm when it reached us, thankfully) so of course what else was my brain to do but wander into semi-nonsense territory.
or: zuko dies when his ship blows up, but La takes mercy on him. local firebender wakes up as a merman. what the fuck.
everyone thinks he's dead. he can't leave the water because he has a whole entire fish tail where his legs used to be. he has no idea what to do with himself because suddenly his only goal in life has been taken away from him. he's stubborn as hell, but even he has to admit that he can't... really capture the Avatar in this state, and it's even more unlikely that if he somehow managed, his father would restore his honor. when he's half fish. what the fuck.
zuko cuts his hair, salvages his belongings from his ship and hides them in this underwater cave he found. spends a lot of time hanging out underneath docks and lapping up gossip. trying to figure out how this whole merman thing works. follows gossip and rumors about the Avatar anyways, because what else is he supposed to do with himself?
ends up in the north pole. he's still a firebender, which feels like a dumb joke but at least it keeps him warm. ends up befriending princess yue (iroh joined the avatar and saved the moon spirit). learns his sister was defeated at ba sing se. learned his father was defeated during the eclipse. his uncle became fire lord.
becomes a cryptid. keeps accidentally befriending small children. saves a few people? people think he's some kind of ocean spirit. he's offended but maybe they're right. gets used to subsisting on a diet of raw fish (except when yue sneaks him some smoked fish). and then, to add insult to injury...
...the Avatar starts looking for him.
(Aang has heard stories about a humanoid ocean spirit. They seem friendly! They've even saved a few sailors. Trying to track them down seems like a great way to not have to think about Ozai's impending execution. He spared his life, but it didn't even matter in the end.)
#yue meeting a half fish person and just shrugging her shoulders#things are better now that she doesn't have to marry hahn but she's still kind of lonely#zuko seems like a strange name for an ocean dweller but it somehow suits him#also don't worry about me. we just barely escaped being flooded.#hooray!#mer zuko au

I see the fandom’s “Ambassador of the Southern Water Tribe” Sokka and raise y’all “Emerging Technologies Advisor, Sokka of the Water Tribe.” Working with all the nations as a emissary for scientists and engineers, introducing these new techs to world leaders and brainstorming ways to integrate them helpfully into society — really, he just gets to travel a lot and mess around with machines and I think these are two things that Sokka would excel so so very much at
thiiiisss this so much this his ass would Not settle in the fire nation permanently!!! he travels all over the world!! he sees and learns all the things he couldn’t experience while ending the war!! he fixes things everywhere he goes as easy as breathing. he’s the one behind the southern water tribe cultural center in republic city and behind this huge ass ‘fuck you zuko try to destroy this now’ watchtower/lighthouse in the swt capital.
he has a traveling food critic column and a published haiku collection and fifteen new inventions patents and is just as fundamental for bringing on an age of peace and prosperity as anyone else. so yeah emerging technologies advisor, poet, swordsman, inventor, councilor, storyteller, warrior, artist, white lotus member, food blogger, pai sho champion, trendsetter sokka of the southern water tribe ftw forever amen
#like whatever’s going on with like the sun inside of you sokka. that’s canon to me#hi lion kissa u <33#ANYWAY yeah in a zukka context they do pretty much long distance + meeting up wherever for like a couple of weeks#then druk gets big enough to fly really fast everywhere so zuko firelords from 9 to 5 then he jumps on his ecofriendly private plane#& flies wherever sokka is#just idk. tossing the crown to azula like bye see u tomorrow morning i’m going to my boyfrieeeeeendd#(she makes him fight an agni kai to get back the crown every time he gets back. they’re silly like that)#the only ONLY occasion i can see sokka stay in the fn for rlly long stretch of time is when izumi is rlly little and can’t travel#then it’s fambly trip time again baby#ash replies

One thing they never tell you about meeting famous people is how weird it is to meet someone whose character you've read fanfiction about.

okay i'm a zutara shipper through and through....however....i absolutely ADORE jinko alright??? like,,,, if jin had appeared in the atla finale as uncle iroh's first employee of his tea shop and she shared an awkward flirty moment with zuko hinting at something more happening between them in the future, just LISTEN. i would have screamed. i would have yelled. i would have been on the fucking floor. also just....imagine the look on uncle iroh's face when he tells zuko who he hired. imagine zuko's flustered reaction in front of the gaang PLEASE
#would have made so much more sense than zuko randomly getting back together with mai#also this would just give major sukka vibes#suki and jin were both introduced in one episode and had great chemistry with a main character#but after they meet it seems unlikely they'll see each other again#but sukka does!!#and its so unexpected!!#and they pick up right where they left off a whole book later!!#jinko could have done the same thing okay just LISTENNN#jinko#atla

Crack AU where Ty Lee escapes Boiling Rock and retreats into the Earth Kingdom instead of joining the Kyoshi Warriors, and is completely off the grid, so that when she comes back to the Fire Nation and sees Azula out and about she thinks she’s gotten better and tries to reconnect with her. Shenanigans ensues.
#ty lee: omg azula how are you? I’m glad you spent time bettering yourself enough that they let you out :)#*Azula who had just been running around committing war crime*: yes definitely#this AU came about simply because I adore the trope of a war criminal having a loving spouse#who just loves them and has no clue their beloved is running around committing crimes that 100% go against the Geneva Convention#ty lee meeting up with mai: isn’t it amazing that azula redeemed herself?#mai who was just listening to zuko talking about the latest the latest of Azula’s misdemeanors: I beg your pardon. What?#ty lee#azula#tyzula#mai#zuko#atla#avatar the last airbender

toph learned both english and mandarin because the beifongs wanted her to learn something other than her mother tongue. but the ppl teaching her english was hella lazy so she didn't learn as much. but she learned the basics like how to say her name, her age, how she's feeling, etc. like she can keep up a decent conversation.
but she has trouble with her pronunciation, plurals, and articles. and SHE DOES NOT ADMIT THAT SHE NEEDS HELP. katara tried helping her with english a few times but toph always denied needing help. sokka & aang also tried to help, but again, toph. then she met zuko, who just happens to be multilingual, speaks to toph in mandarin. and then he does manage to help toph with her english.
and in return, toph teaches the rest of team avatar how to speak mandarin (she taught them how to say swear words and thats it 😭)
IM OBSESSED WITH THIIIIIISSSSS. no you don’t understand this made my evening 😭 esp the last paragraph that’s so Toph it’s visceral. Anyway one of my favourite hcs from you specifically is the languages they speak, idk why but it sits so right with me. also this leaves me under the impression that zuko snuck in English lessons and Toph only realised after he spoke to her in English and she responded way better than she usually would n she’s like: you sneaky son of a bitch
Zuko’s like: 🤷
#asks#my asks#atla#atla hc#toph hc#zuko hc#motheryvs#gonna answer the other one in a second but just gonna let this one sit bc it’s too good for people not to see 😭#anyway again thank youuuu for these they actually fuel my love for atla so much like you don’t even know#also I recently watched boy meets world again and hunnnn when I tell you what we said about katara/angela no you had a point#even the way they act (also angela is so underrated holy hell she was easily my favourite)

Azula needs friends outside of the Gaang and the dangerous ladies, I mean, I know she's great as a friend of the Gaang and girlfriend of Mai and Ty Lee, but in canon she wouldn't be so close to them because of everything they went through.
I mean, I really like Maizulee, but Azula really needs friends and maybe date a girl who wasn't people from her past who hurt her.
I got some experience and matured emotionally, she needs to fully explore herself, accept that it wasn't her fault that people abandoned her with her friends.
And being stuck in the same place would only make things worse, she needs to be free and know more things, meet more people.
#Azula#Gaang#the dangerous ladies#atla#avatar the last airbender#I LOVE the fics with Azula and the Gaang with Mai and Ty Lee#but she needs to meet more people than them.#Azula needs a support network in case they use her again or abandon her.#Azula wants and needs more friends#and maybe have a family outside of Zuko Ursa and Iroh.#This is a bit realistic#just take it as a logical thought.#translator#traductor

Time for another dream i had, this time about zutara.
This one is a lot shorter, but essentially I had a dream where kataras whole family(which seemed to have more members then in the show) all live in the fire nation, hiding the fact that they're water tribe(rather, they were water tribe).
Katara is in some sort of relationship with zuko. It's unclear if she's his wife, his girlfriend, or his mistress, but its not hidden. People know about her and her relationship with him.
(Putting the rest under a cut so I don't clog up the feed lol)
If she was his mistress it's kinda held in that way that kings had other women they'd sleep with along with their queen and it was just an accepted, albeit kinda shitty, thing to do.
Anyway, katara is also pregnant, which was kind of an underlying "plot point" and would return home to her family every day to check on them.
It's revealed here that katara is basically the only reason her family is doing pretty well for themselves. Her relationship with zuko means that they have enough to get by. It's also noted that her whole family(katara, sokka, their dad, their grandma, and some made up new family members) all live in one house. So its clear they're still kind of struggling.
It's also revealed, through a conversation with her grandma, that the only otehr reason katara is with zuko, is because it was part of a bigger plan. She and her family are part of a resistance against the fire nation, and when they realized zuko liked katara, wanted her to infiltrate and pretend to be in love with him.
The plan had clearly gone on longer then anticipated, for whatever reason, and katara is conflicted because she actually does have feelings for him now, not fo mention she's pregnant with his child.
There's a "scene" either at the beginning or after this reveal that shows zuko in a meeting with other fire nation officials, including his father and sister, and that either he was against one of their plans but is ignored or his plan gets shut down(I don't remember which). Katara always sits in on these meetings with him, and afterwards, as everyone is getting up to leave, she leans her forehead against his and whispers that everything will be alright. This is why we can tell she truly does care about him, to some degree. But it's also a moment showing potential manipulation, like shes pretending to care. It's supposed to be a little of both, she needs him to trust her but she does still love him.
After all of this, we cut to a scene in a forest/swamp. This part is kind of blurry in my head, but basically, it's a secret meeting. Katara is dressed similarly to the painted lady, her and a few other resistance members, including Sokka, Suki, and Hakoda, are planning an ambush on Zuko and his family, who are supposed to travel down a path nearby. Katara is a key part of this plan, as she's the only waterbender, and she knows this. She nods along to everything regarding the plan and she goes over important points herself as well. But as everyone else continues talking, katara is having doubts. She loves Zuko. She's about to have his child. She cares for him. But she needs to free the world from the fire nations clutches as well. She doesn't want to kill Zuko, but she has to in order to help others. She's hesitating.
They continue with the plan anyway, and through the foliage that katara and the others are hiding in, we see a carriage making its way down the path. Zuko and his family(or at least his father) are in there.
Everyone is getting ready to fight, to jump out and attack. We see a close up shot of Katara, conflicted. She's still not sure if she can go through with this, if she can kill Zuko.
And then I woke up.
#i was disappointed with the cliffhanger too I KNOW#it was a super interesting dream though#i guess in this world aang doesn’t exist??? idk. dream logic.#but i fell in lpve with this idea afterwards#the whole dream had this sort of dreary tone#the war meeting scene was at night so it was dark. and fire was the only thing lighting up their faces#katara leaning her head against zukos felt like it held heavier implications then we saw#when we see where katara and her family live it felt very poverty stricken. crowded with barely any furniture. a tired air hung around them#the scene planning the ambush felt very heavy with what they were about to do + with kataras own reluctance.#like the decision was already made even though it wasn't#ANYWAY idk if this even makes any sense#i wrote this when i woke up that morning and then finished up the rest today lol#i didn’t proofread shit though so sorry for any weird phrasing or typos lol#i just wanted to share another wild dream i had#this was a fun one lol#might wrote a fanfic about it one day#and if you want to write a fic absed off my dream PLEASE DO#i just wanted to share the idea with teh zutara fandom#i figured yall would appreciate it like i did❤️#zutara#avatar the last airbender#atla zuko#zuko#atla katara#katara#idk what else to tag lol#aml speaks#aml dreams

back on my mer zuko au bullshit again. local fire prince just straight up doesn't go anywhere if there's not an ocean-linked body of water nearby even after he gets the ability to get legs again. when he's fire lord he mostly travels by druk because there's a difference between "why is the fire prince's hair always damp" vs "why is the fire lord's hair always damp".
(also because it's harder to have a member of the gaang be on 'bring zuko his clothes' duty as they get older. it's sokka a disproportionate amount of time.)
#mer zuko au#it's not like he can travel *with* them. everything but his undershirt gets in the way of you know. swimming.#also then they'd be wet too#yes this does mean if the gaang is meeting up with zuko somewhere outside the fire nation#you could open up their luggage and just. find his spare clothes.#the earth palace servants trying to unpack avatar aang's luggage opening it up to find fire prince zuko's clothes: what#aang scrambling in: HAHA yeah zuko left those at my place last time. thought I'd give them back to him. BYE#(takes the clothes and runs)
