ZUKO HCs PLEASE (and maybe some zukka if ya feel like it)
Zuko Headcanons!!
Zuko is terrified of lightning. I mean who wouldn’t be after your father and your sister both used it to try and kill you. Zukka side of things, Sokka absolutely holds Zuko during thunderstorms.
Zuko spends time with Uncle Iroh drinking tea at the Jasmine Dragon, and still helps his uncle make tea from time to time.
Zuko loves theater and hates the Ember Island players with a burning passion. On the other hand, Sokka loves the Ember Island players and will drag Zuko to see them. Zuko will subject himself to horrendous theater if it makes his boyfriend happy. Sokka will also go to classy theaters (even though he can find it sort of boring at times) for his boyfriend.
Zuko loves cats. Like he just adores them and absolutely makes a baby voice at them. Which was embarrassing the first time Sokka saw him do it but Sokka just thought it was cute.
Zuko likes having his hair played with and braided! Like he super loves having Sokka braid his hair (which I think Sokka would know how to do because he grew up with Katara and probably had to braid her hair at some point).
Baths! Baths are sooooo something I see Zuko loving. Like a good hot bath with a bath bomb and some Epsom salt. Like he is definitely a bath person.
Also, Zuko likes to cook. Like I can see him in a kitchen and cutting up stuff and making food. Like I know he can have anything done by servants but after his moral conflict there’s the scene where he basically insinuates that bossing around servants doesn’t make him feel happy. So I can see him wanting to make some of his own food.
Zuko is someone who has really good manners and always says thank you to the servants because he knows that they work hard.
He is not a fan of parties and formal settings. Having to go through all the political people he has to talk to just so he can get to a table to sit and then have to talk to more political leaders is really stressful. He’s not a people person.
He likes to garden. Specifically he likes to plant flowers in the garden and study them. He is just infatuated with the gentle yet brilliant plants.
Also I kinda headcanon Zuko as autistic because I feel like he definitely can get special interests. Like I can see him talking about all the flowers he has planted and how he plans the layout of the garden.
Ok, this definitely can't be a new Zutara headcanon, but if we suppose that Kanna gave her son her betrothal necklace to gift to Kya when he proposed (kind of Crazy Rich Asians style, but without the prior disapproval), wouldn't it make sense for Katara to gift it to Zuko when they get married? Of course, she might not want to give away the only thing she has left of her mother, so I'd still adore the idea of her carving one for him. I always read fics with Sokka doing it for Suki, and you CANNOT tell me it's only a guy-to-girl thing. You know Zuko's devoted, sentimental butt would wear that necklace literally everywhere. We're talking about the boy who kept his uncle's smelly slipper for no discernible reason other than pure sentiment. The jerk-hole war ministers and advisors gasping scandalously would really just be the cherry on top. Also, Katara would just love it. Claiming a tradition historically reserved for Northern Water Tribe men? Getting the chance to further share her family's traditions/culture with Zuko and the rest of the Fire Nation? Sign her the egg up!

Day 4: Spirits?

On the one hand I feel like Lu Ten absolutely would buy Zuko a bunch of expensive stuffed animals to try to one up the GAang, but on the other hand I really need to resist the urge to give Zuko an army of stuffed animals.

another couldnt-stop-thinking-about-it drawing, i might actually write this one as well but for now it is a lil doodle
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.”
