Please reblog, don’t repost :)

yes, zuko may be a theater gay, but have we considered writer gay? 

all writers (that i’ve known) seem really quiet at first, but the more you get to know them, the more dramatic they become. they get loud, they act out different scenes, we secretly (or not secretly) love screaming out musical numbers. 

and zuko having killer outfits? writers are always stutin’ with their styles! 

also, being super shy? how he practices how he’s going to introduce himself to the gaang? peak writer gay energy. 

so please consider: writer zuko.

thanks for coming to my (short) ted talk

Why aren’t there more fics out there where the Gaang finds out just how much knowledge Zuko has on Avatars and Airbenders? There is no way your telling me that Zuko wouldn’t have read every scroll on the subject that he could get his hands on. I can just see him surprising everyone with his knowledge. He would probably even know who got married and had kids. And it’s probably stuff that even aang hadn’t found out about yet

book 1 zuko is a beautiful bald boy but what if he never had to shave his head. that is all i have to say goodnight

Jet thinks Zuko has been kidnapped Au

The ferry ride and train station scene happen like in canon. Jet sees Iroh heat his tea and assumes he’s a fire bender.

But unlike canon, he thinks Li is either a non-bender or an earth bender who is being coerced/kidnapped. Instead of going to the authorities, he tries to help Li personally. He wants to be there for him. Be supportive. Help him get away. So he keeps up a pleasant relationship and often stops by the tea shop. Occasionally, he and Zuko even go to friendly outings together.

Today is such a day.

Jet has already tested the waters a bit, but made no outright accusations. Zuko knows that Jet is suspicious, be he doesn’t know anything more than that.

But slowly, Jet is starting to loose his patience. He has shown Li that he can be trusted. He has shown Li that he can get him safely away from his abuser. Why does he keep evading his questions? Why won’t he admit the truth?

Finally, he snaps.

“Your uncle is hurting you! You don’t need to lie to me.”

Family breakfasts with Tommy have become somewhat of a routine.

He comes over on the days Maria leaves for her work early (which is more often than not), eats her granola and drinks Joel's coffee, and they talk about whatever they feel like, though Ellie loves asking him about his recent patrols. She kicks her feet up into Joel's lap and draws it out as long as she can before sprinting all the way to school, but it's worth it if it means just one more story.

Today, though, she's late. Really fucking late. It's not her fault she got a bit distracted by the new book Tommy had brought her last afternoon (it's about SPACE Joel, that trumps school and sleep by a mile), but now she had about five minutes to get out of the house and into the classroom. Ellie barrels down the stairs, bag slung over her shoulder, and has to catch herself on the banister to not slip on the floor once she jumps over the last few steps

"Careful, baby," Joel calls over, worriedly watching her put on her shoes while standing on one leg, jumping to keep her balance. Tommy, on the other hand, looks majorly amused, and she can hear him chuckle.

"Yeah, yeah, old man, I can keep my balance just fine."

She ties her laces so she doesn't trip once she starts running and is about to leave when Joel whistles to call her back.

"Breakfast, Ellie."

Fucking Joel and his stupid rules, but Ellie spins on the spot and uses the kitchen door frame to propel herself toward the counter and pick up two apples for later, stuffing them into her bag with a happy? thrown over her shoulder.

"Mh, have a nice day at school, kiddo," he tries to sound all parental, but she can hear the softness bleeding through and just knows he's holding back a grin. Ellie crosses the distance between them with two big steps and slings her arms around his neck, allowing herself the luxury of melting against him for a few precious seconds when he gently rubs his thumbs over her wrists and lifts her clasped hands to press a kiss to her knuckles.

With a heavy sigh and a silent fuck you to whoever invented math, she pulls back, but not without pressing a kiss to Joel's cheek, basking in the smile he gives her; it's so easy to make him happy, and she does it as much as she can.

Ellie can feel Tommy's eyes on them, he always watches them with a gleeful mixture of amusement and affection, and over the last year, he has settled into the warm parts of her heart, too. He is right between her and the door, sipping on his coffee, so, really, it's not even a conscious choice, more of a reflex.

Her hand comes down on the table when she steps toward the front door and away from Joel, balancing herself so she can lean around the back of his chair and press a quick kiss to his cheek, too. Ellie bites back the small laugh bubbling up when she sees the expression on his face, mouth slightly open, eyes seeking help from Joel, who simply shrugs and picks up his cup again.

Another minute ticks by on the kitchen clock, and she is finally on her way out, the goodbye she yells at them cut off when the front door slams close behind her.

("What the hell was that?"

"She is laying her claim on you."

"Whatever that means, Joel, she's your kid, not mine."

"Better get ready to give up your personal space and half your closet."

"My clothes, really?"

"You never know what she might do next, prepare for the worst."

"Are you sure she's not yours? 'Cause this sounds oddly familiar."

"Oh, she is, she just found me all on her own."

"Glad she did, haven't seen you smile like that in twenty years."

"Give it a week and I'll tell you the same thing.")

Hahn (16) is quite a bit jealous that the princess is spoken for when it should have been HIM becoming the next chief. He and his group trick Zuko (14) into climbing the cliffs.

Zuko falls all the way in and has to melt his way out. But it's OK because he found a gem that perfectly matches Yue's eyes! A couple years later, this will be the gem he uses to make her betrothal necklace.

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!)
