Okay So Like, After Reading Too Many Zuko Adoption Au’s, I May Have (kind Of But Not Really) Made Up

Jet graduates from food theft to swiping angsty tea servers

I love how for most of The Boiling Rock Part 1 Zuko’s just going around like ‘you know who’s great? Uncle. I miss him a lot. He’s my favorite person and I will fight you for him” completely unprompted 

what a soft kid, I love him so much 

joel's hands are like a fidget toy for ellie! they'll be at tommy and maria's sitting around the kitchen table and long after dinner's over, joel will have his elbows resting on the table and ellie wordlessly grabs his hand and pulls it on her lap and traces his palm and knuckles, joel doesn't even react he just continues his conversation with tommy

Zutara Month 2022

Day 7: Soft Kisses

I love that point in the relationship where Katara just can’t handle Zuko being all suave and soft, probably without him even meaning to be. 

(I saw a similar 2-panel thing a while ago on Instagram and needed to draw it with Zutara!) 

Fire Lord Zuko Headcanons

The servants are just so terrified by him at the beginning?? Because here is this obviously powerful fire bender, the avatars fire bending teacher, and their fire lord and he is literally the most unpredictable person ever in their eyes

Every other fire lord was at least a little predictable bc staff knew what fire lords and fire nation royalty acted like but here is this guy over here who never yells at them?? Who never hurts them?? Who never banishes or fires them??

The first time they ever saw him angry/disappointed at staff was when he was telling the cooks to never make roast turtleduckling ever again he doesn’t care how tender they are thank you very much

When he has to deal with a particularly condescending or war mongering general or politician that day, he’ll sneak off to the kitchens and just make rage tea

If someone doesn’t remind him to eat he just forgets?? So the Head Cook, a woman everyone can agree on is the meanest, toughest, strictest person around, sends food to him every few hours no matter how many times he’s told her in person she doesn’t need to

Zuko will just casually let slip some really horrifying fact and the staf will just be very disturbed bc your grANDFATHER ORDERED YOUR DEATH

“Oh yeah, but my mom killed him so it’s okay”

*distressed noises from background staff*

They are slowly beginning to piece together everything that happened to their fire lord during his exile using their combined knowledge from off hand comments they heard Zuko make

Some of my Atla headcanons nobody asked for part 4:

Aang names every single animal he meets. He can see an insect chilling right next to him and be like "oh, hi Bob" or something

When Zuko told the Gaang about how he got his scar they all climbed on him and forced him to be hugged for a few (tearful) hours afterwards

Suki likes to draw and when Sokka finds out about it he definitely signs them up for these artistic dates or something

Toph made her statues herself

When Sokka admitted to his family that he forgot what Kya looked like everyone was utterly shocked and told him he's almost identical to her (yes, Sokka cried after hearing that)

After the war Iroh starts calling Zuko "son" instead of "nephew"

Zuko still can't get rid of the bad and scary burden the word "father" has so he still calls Iroh "uncle" but being called son by him makes him so so happy

Iroh has a tea blend for every member of the Gaang so when they come all exited and he can't catch what they order in between their conversations (or when they come sad and can't utter a word) he knows just what tea to make

Bow before Chieftess Yue and her consort Chief-King Zuko.

Zukos rank is directly below Yue, which was decided by them. Arnook and the council didn't like the idea, since that goes against their culture, but Zuko was raised in a society where gender doesn't determine role. He loves his wonderful, intelligent, determined wife. She's a great leader and Zuko is a good support.

Their wedding has been planned for 3 years and it's finally happening! General Iroh is there to witness the union, with Commander Zhao and his fleet as protection. Sokka knows something is up, but no one believes him. But what is Zhao doing sneaking away?

Picture this Zutara fandom… 

Post ATLA one of Zuko’s advisers tries to question his legitimacy to the throne by claiming Katara should have been crowned Fire Lord because she won the Agni Kai against Azula. And the mean advisor gets up in Zuko’s face and is all like: “So unless Master Katara is secretly your wife…” 

And Katara has the biggest smile on her face, before she tells the advisor: “Oh you have no idea.” 

And so begins a 30-chapter slowburn fanfic about how Zuko and Katara bamboozle the more treacherous members of his court and fall in love… 

Yay? Nay? Do we want to adopt this headcanon from Zutara twitter too?
