Azula: BEHOLD, The Field In Which I Grow My Fucks! Lay Thine Eyes Upon It, And Thou Shalt See That It

My favorite platonic ship

Zuko: The food is too hot, I can't eat it.

Mai: You're also hot, but I still eat-

Azula: *slams down hands on the table*

Azula: ONE DINNER-

Ty Lee: Here we go again.

Azula: ONE NORMAL DINNER IS ALL I ASK FOR!

Ty Lee teaches Zuko acrobatics.

It all began as simple hand-to-hand sparring - something they did from time to time whenever they had a free spot on their otherwise busy schedules. Zuko held his own well enough, but Ty Lee's agility combined with her stunts would give her the upper hand more often than not, and her moves never failed to bedazzle him. He could never bring himself to say anything about it - the only words able to escape his mouth in his awestruck state being "you're... good" or nothing more than a simple "wow" - but luckily for him, Ty Lee could see the fascination written all over his face and ended up offering to teach him.

It was hard at first. While Zuko's parkour and gymnastics skills were already pretty outstanding, he couldn't handle making any sort of mistake, and the earlier sessions would always end in him stomping off in frustration everytime he couldn't get a move quite right. However, as time went on and Ty Lee reassured him that it was absolutely okay to screw up sometimes and he realized she wasn't going to laugh at or humiliate him for it (and a couple of apologies for his mean behavior later) he began getting better and better at it until he could almost go toe-to-toe with her and the sessions turned less serious and more playful. They would chase each other around the palace grounds, somersaulting from wall to wall and leaping off the roofs until exhaustion caught up to them and they collapsed on the floor, covered in sweat and breathing shakily but laughing together like they didn't have a single care in the world.

After that, it wasn't uncommon for Zuko and Ty Lee to swing from the beams on the hallways' ceilings like trapezists whenever the floor had been recently swept.

(The cleaning staff most definitely noticed and shot odd looks at each other everytime it happened, but said nothing about it. It's not like they were complaining.)

Lol I have a baby zuko au in the works where he angers a spirit who says if he acts like a child so he should be one and the crew thinks hes gonna be a brat but hes really sweet and kind until he accidentally breaks something and cries begging not to be hit and the crew and iroh are ready to commit treason for this baby

Lieutenant jee becames papa jee and basically adopts zuko lol

Baby Zuko AU’s are honestly amazing because whether or not he has memories of being a teen changes the whole ass dynamic he has. Because actual baby Zuko is the absolute epitome of a well-behaved child who would do anything to make sure people are happy, but teenage Zuko in a child body is the one who’s like “I can trick them- wait they’re nice and don’t know... I’ll enjoy this a bit longer” and then never actually does shit because he’s getting positive attention from people.

Also, the crew finding out how bad Zuko had it as a kid because of his reactions to breaking something (likely inconsequential) is absolutely perfect.

Also, Jee gets a kid and the rest of the crew is just like, “This is fine.”

LEADER TRIOOOO my hate-filled egotistical control freaks beloveds

Somebody give Ellie a camera rn

ellie finds a polaroid camera

Zutarians i lowkey wanna see some of your responses and debunks by this post 😭😭💀

No, but what if Zuko is adopted by the Avatar Spirit? Not Aang, but the World-Spirit-that-resides-in-him specifically. Just imagine: the Avatar state is said to strip away all semblance of self but Aang can't help the disbelief as his mouth form the words "GO TO YOUR ROOM"

I feel like this is a hilarious addition to the "someone adopts Zuko" trope. @muffinlance, this is funnier if it's Zuko-pre-redemption, right? Everyone would be SO confused.
