Zuko: So how did you come up with my name?

Ozai and ursa: ........................

Ursa: long story....

13 years earlier~

Ozai, half dead: Ursa... there are millions of names in front of you, just pick one...

Ursa: DON'T YELL AT ME!

Ozai: I DIDN'T YELL!

Ursa: WHAT ARE YOU DOING RIGHT NOW?!

Ozai: You know what, I'm leaving!

Ursa: FINE!

Ozai: FINE!

Ozai and ursa: FINE!

12 minutes later~

Ursa, sniffing: I'm not being emotional. He's being emotional

Iroh walking in: Oh. Sorry, I didn't know you were in here.... Ursa, what's wrong?

Ursa looked away and stayed quiet

Iroh: You and my brother had a fight? Why?

Ursa: He said I was being emotional.... but I'm 6 months pregnant.

Iroh: I'll talk to him.

Ursa: Thank you

15 minutes later, iroh found ozai training

Ozai: Ha! That's what she told you?!

Iroh, already getting tired: yes...

Ozai: Well, I bet she didn't tell you she cursed me out!

(OK, I'm going to save me the pain of typing all of the he said and she said, and you the time of reading them, just know this went on for like ten minutes with iroh walking back and forth)

Iroh (with ozai): You know what I'm done!

Iroh grabbed ozai wrist and dragged him through the palace

Ozai: Where are you taking me!

Iroh: To your wife!

Ozai: Nooooo, I don't want to see her!

Iroh, having to drag ozai like they were kids again, finally made it and opened the door thrown ozai in, yelled talk, and closed the door

Ozai, on the floor where iroh had thrown him: Ow.

Ursa, getting up: Are you ok?!

Ozai, sitting up: Yeah, I'm fine...

Ursa, standing by him: Ok

They stayed silence

Ozai, getting up and facing Ursa: I'm sorry for being a jerk

Ursa: I'm also sorry for being a jerk

More awkward silence

Ozai: You look beautiful today

Ursa: Thanks, I thought this dress made me look fatter than I am....

Ozai: You're not fat. You are carrying the next generation of fire nation royal.

Ursa: That's a fancy way of saying I'm pregnant

Ursa laughing

Ozai: i am really sorry, though. I shouldn't have walked out during our fight... I should have stayed and solved it....

Ursa: I shouldn't have prayed that all of your hair would fall out...

Ozai: You did what?!

Ursa: Im sorry, I know hair is off-limits no matter what....

Ozai: Take it back!

Ursa: I thought you didn't believe in that stuff ?

Ozai: I don’t but this is my hair!

Ursa, laughing: I won't

Ozai: Ursa, this isn't funny! MY HAIR IS MY GLORY!

Ursa: That's it!

Ozai: What?

Ursa: For the baby's name!

Ozai: We are not naming a baby hair. That's just cruel

Ursa: No, glory.

Ozai: Glory?

Ursa: Well, a name that means that...

Ursa walks over to the book with baby names

Ursa: Glory.... well, don't just look help me!

Ozai: Right!

20 minutes later~

Ozai: Zuko.

Ursa, walking over to him: That's perfect!

Ozai: And now we need a girl name

Ursa; Ughhhhhh

Back to the present~

Ozai: We found it in a book of names

Ursa: Effortlessly....

Zuko: I feel like they're not tell the truth

Azula: They're not

OMFFFFG the dnd roleplay!!!

ok, serious, THAT is what spicy byler fandom needs. not just because its hot, but because its literally so in character, and it's .... like that IS real. and yeah you could say its the most explicit kind of sexualisation of their childhood selves so far because of the dnd associations in the show, but you could also say the show itself is a horrorification (and sexualisation if you read the metaphor a certain way) of their childhood gameplay. so...

and yes its so cringe but the best freaking kind, the kind the show gives you! i was only cringing on their behalf rather than out of my own guilt which i do still get a bit of when i enjoy anything spicy byler lol. and weirdly its even hotter BECAUSE its not just for us. because its for them, so in character, it becomes hotter? yessssss youve done it

and theres no WAY that will, who draws real-person fanart about their party lol, has never fantasised about this. i mean, his very painting is a fantasy put to canvas. and mike with that paladin sword.... oh, you knowwwww that there's gonna be some dirty talk about swords somewhere... * shudder * who knows, maybe them creating these characters was even will's sexual awakening about mike? imagining him in these courageous contexts etc

the use of will's magic in their dirty talk hehehe im imagining them actually writing a whole mini scenario to play out, not even just getting lost in the moment but properly planning it sometimes cos they couldnt believe how hot it was first time it happened 🙊🙊 (ok now i need to know who instigated the first time. pre-party meet up too! these boys are wild). and also - they way they bounce off each other at suzie's in the show? theyre TELLING us that these two can roleplay! so why not sexy too when theyre older? yessssssss correct

i cringed with joy at the way you wrote this. perfection. sometimes i bad-cringe at the impersonal-ness of byler smut with pet names anyone in the world could use, cos its so easy for them to stop being mike and will and start being random bodies having sex, but this specificity feels like its so them and it could only be them.

using their dnd names??? ACCENTS????? 😭 i'm imaginging their idea of king arthur british medieval ahhhhhhh

+ partially dressed in costume????? the wizard hat falling off immediately when will bounces?? his floopy flowing robes just hiked up over his thighs?????????? that's period drama-level sex right there, even better than totally naked. mike just having a bit of armour over his shoulders, nothing else? ughhhhhh

honestly i have never been in nerd culture like this irl, but i can totally see how fantasy would develop from childhood to adulthood like this... its natural for everyone because imagination and pretend play in childhood is often lost as we grow (unless someone is a creative/artist/imagination-forward adult) and the only place that playfulness remains for many folk is through sexual expression. sex is where adults play. so why the heck not this for byler? its so on track i literally am so excited to see what you do with this, not least because perhaps for these boys, this is one of the only ways they can reclaim their love of this game after all the trauma they went through. beautiful 😭😭😭

This ask was sent back in early June after this post and a bunch of chatter about potentially writing a fic expanding on the idea. I draft and forget so many asks (oops, sorry 🫣) and thought I might have had s relevant one stashed away. I hope you're still around, maybe you're someone who's made a blog between then and now! This was all before I even planned an official outline and I thought... would it be crazy if I expanded on the idea? Hilarious. I have so many other wips in the works but I don't think I want to fully leave our little role-playing nerds behind. I'll drop random drabbles about that whole vibe over time when inspiration strikes. Love everything about these two boys.
