AU Where When Zuko And Katara Board The Southern Raiders' Ship, They Discover, Like In Canon, That The

For Hearth and Home by @sword-and-stars has been giving me brainrot for the better part of a month

Au where the Gaang were looking for a firebending teacher, just found Zuko on the side of the road and picked him up by the scruff of his neck and was like "you". No one figures out he's the Prince of the Fire Nation until Sozins Comet.

Aang comes back, having defeated firelord Ozai, and then finds out that his wet rat of a firebending teacher is actually royalty and is being crowned Firelord tomorrow. He is so confused.

Brainwashed Jetko au where both Jet and Zuko get taken by the Dai Li and are displaced in the big city.

Jet and Li find each other anyways.

(That luck however did not extend to their family and friends)

Its all good...then it catches up to them :D

my sister asked for art of them and i thought they both could use a hug

Have you thought about Zoeymau recently? Here’s your incentive

Y’all want some really dumb Modern Jetko hcs?

What am I saying of course you do. 

This ended up being way longer than I intended so I’ll put them under a cut, but let me know if you want more. I think about these two a lot.

What if zuko has body dysmorphia. Like along with the hearing and sight loss he just hates the scar so much. He can stand to see it, cringes anytime his hand brushes against it. It triggers him when people mention it.

I want zuko clawing at his face, growing out his hair just to hide it at much as possible, immediately tenses when he hears 's', the gaang is super protective of him and defends his honour anytime someone goes for a low blow, uncle tries to help zuko accept that part of himself, and the scar is like the only thing azula avoids because she's never seen zuko react like that.

here's a thing

jetko + ao3 tags. tags from @ao3tagoftheday​

[IDs: five screenshots of jet and zuko from avatar accompanied by ao3 tags as captions. in the first image, jet and zuko are depicted from the legs up as they fight, in ba sing se. it is nighttime. they are back to back, fighting with their hook swords and dao swords respectively. the tag reads “there’s lots of fluff, but there’s also DUELS.” the second image is a wide shot of pao’s tea shop. jet and zuko are standing at opposite ends. both have their swords drawn and are in fighting stances. customers stand around the edges of the room where the tables are, looking on. the tag reads “a bi disaster and a gay disaster walk into a bar, that’s it that’s the story.” the third image is of jet and zuko in the doorway of a ship’s kitchen, ready to steal food. they are in wary, semi-crouched positions and they both have their swords drawn. the tag reads “arson as foreplay, we all knew this was coming.” the fourth screenshot shows jet and zuko standing next to each other at the train station in ba sing se. jet has his hands on his hips while zuko’s are at his side. the tag reads “less ‘opposites attract’ and more ‘two people from different sides of the asshole spectrum.’” the fifth screenshot is of jet and zuko duelling in ba sing se at nighttime. jet is holding his swords ready to parry, while zuko is swinging his own swords to attack. the tag reads “but there’s no romance here, maybe two percent romance, two percent romance and ninety eight percent REVENGE.” end ID]

AU in which Zuko is painfully aware that his dad is an asshole and decides to vibe on his ship rather than chasing Aang-

rewatching ALTA rn (cough quarantine really do be like that) and- I cant help but laugh when watching Zuko act like a spoiled brat with heavy daddy-issues throughout the first season, knowing how awkward he’ll become later on (”Zuko here” is all I’m gonna say rip-)

now, instead of waiting for uncle Iroh to spill the tea (no pun intended) about his scar and chasing the avatar without telling his crew a word about wHY he’s so hellbent on steering his ship all over the fucking world to chase a ghost… Zuko’s just aware of why exactly he was put on this ship and decides “well, might as well enjoy the ride”

One of the first things he does after boarding the ship (after waiting for his injury to heal rip) is ask Iroh or Lieutenant Jee to cut his hair for him, since,,,, well he’s a banished prince that was sent out to chase a ghost,,, no real reason to cling onto the illusion of royality any longer, is there? so off with the hair-knot

*cue tiny, 13 year old Zuko with a bandaged eye and freshly shorn head walking up to the ship-railing and chucking his hair overboard. he waves the severed hair-knot goodbye, Uncle Iroh just brews himself another cup of calming tea-*

He knows his dad’s not expecting him to come back, or… even wants him back, for that matter.

“Sir, where is our next course leading?”

“Idk, you decide.”

Either spends his time holed up in his private quarters or fucks around on the ports whenever the ship needs to stop for supplies. Instead of spending his ‘pocket money’ on anything that could help him find the avatar he just buys whatever crap would unnerve the crew the most. (last time they let him run off on his own he came back with 67 tiny, wooden sky-bison figurines and has hidden them all over the ship. It’s been 3 years and the crew is still finding bisons hidden in their belongings.)

If it weren’t for the nasty scar you’d just assume he’s the bastard-child of one of his crew-members they’re letting tag along, not, y’know, the crown-prince of the fire-nation.

He still trains a lot- just not to capture the avatar. Just because there’s literally nothing else to do on the ship-

Because he doesn’t have such a nasty temper, the crew doesn’t wanna throw him overboard all the fucking time. Instead they just all collectively decided that they’re adopting the brat- no one’s sure how Iroh feels about suddenly having to share his nephew with 20-something sailors, but no one caught him complaining so far.

Zuko can and will take advantage of that. Watch him yell “Uncle!” on the main bridge and grin like a demon as he sees 5 old sailors’ head snap around and give him a concerned look.

His dad may be an asshole but at the very least he got 20 new uncles-

People tend to recognoze him, because… uh. Well. When he was freshly banished he easily took offense when he was recognized as the banished prince of the firenation, even in the middle of bumfuck-nowhere…. as he grew older Zuko just came up with creative ways to change the topic.

“Nah, his scar’s on the other side.”

“Oh, no, I was just seeing a firenation-girl for a while and learned the hard way why you shouldn’t get them too excited in bed.”

“A scar? What scar- OH MY GOD UNCLE WHY CAN’T I SEE???”

When he eventually stumbles into team avatar, he *could* technically capture the avatar and bring him to the firelord to restore his honor and reclaim his throne… but he’d rather fuck with his old man for a bit.

Cue him inviting them onboard to play Pai sho with uncle. Zuko and Sokka going around, terrorizing the locals with Sokka’s terrible humor and Zuko’s scar. Toph and Zuko befriending each other, using the excuse “We only have one eye between the two of us.” whenever they end up in deadly situations together-

He sleeps in the rhino-pen. No real reason behind it, it just terrifies Lieutenant Jee and if anything brings Zuko joy, it’s terrorizing his crew by endangering himself in the most creative ways
