For A Prompt Could U Do One Where Zuko Finds Some Of His Old Crew At The Boiling Rock And They Escape

@bernardo-draws-and-cries had a really big brain idea

Little cape gremlin

Just an idea because I love your drawings so much. How about Azula makingg Zuko give her a piggy back ride as they pad after Lu Ten :o.

If you're still thinking about a dead guy we only know by his relations and whose only purpose is to die for his father's backstory we know so little about, clap your hands

Fic Snippet!

“Are you out of your mind?” Zuko rushed across the courtyard and bore down on Aang with an intense, almost palpable fury. “Do you know how badly you could’ve hurt her?”

“I was just…I didn’t mean to-“ Aang stammered.

“Fire is not a toy!” Zuko bellowed at him. He turned to Katara, examining her for injuries. “Are you okay?”

“I’m alright,” she assured him, her voice shaking. “I’m fine.” She was trembling visibly, and there were singe marks on her clothes, but she otherwise seemed unharmed. Zuko turned back to Aang, how was looking down at his feet in shame.

“What were you thinking?” Zuko demanded.

“I don’t know,” Aang mumbled, kicking at the ground. “I was…mad.”

“About what?” Zuko was absolutely bewildered. “What could Katara possibly have done that you thought it was a good idea to do that?”

“Nothing,” Aang admitted sullenly. He didn’t say anything after that. Zuko glowered at him, took a few deep breaths to quell his own anger.

“You’re going to clean this mess up,” he said gesturing to the torn up stones, dirt and cooling lava. “Then you’re going to do 100 fire squats. Then you’re going to work on your forms for an hour. And I don’t want to see so much as a curl of smoke out of you. You’re not responsible enough for fire. Understood?” 

“What? That’s not-“ Aang’s protests died on his lips when he saw Zuko’s expression.  He huffed, kicked at stone, and finally nodded.

“Get started,” Zuko ordered through clenched teeth. He turned back to Katara, who was watching the exchange. She was still shaking a bit. Zuko draped his arm protectively around her back and guided her away. He glanced back once more at Aang, and almost rolled his eyes when he saw the younger boy still moping at the ground. It was hard sometimes to reconcile the awesome might and eminence of the Avatar with the reality of Aang, the child.

“I’ll be back,” he warned Aang. “Have this mess cleaned up. And don’t even think about asking Toph to help.” 

I know canonically, the Lava Fissure Incident takes place while Zuko and Sokka are rescuing Hakoda, but I wanted to have Zuko see and react to it. Personally, I think it was another accidentally accurate depiction of how unready Aang is to be the Avatar. And it is also another incident that the narrative decides not to call Aang out for, so the chances of him growing from it are...well, we all know how things turned out in LoK.

i have. such a soft spot. for the idea of dyslexic ellie. 

kiddo who tried SO FUCKING HARD in school but like. even in modern non-apocalyptic day it’s an issue, and it’s a government orphanage. there are just. not accomodations. 

ellie who has grown up fucking struggling and not really knowing why and just feeling like she’s not as smart as everyone else. and having teachers who just. are not paid enough to either notice or take steps to help her. one of the reasons she LOVES her pun book so much is that it’s split up into easy-to-read little chunks, so she doesn’t struggle as much as she does with books with big paragraphs and a lot of text together. 

also dyslexia can cause problems with orientation/navigation/directions (if i’ve mispoken on this, please do correct me! i’m speaking from having a roommate with dyslexia and googling), which also makes her frustration with the map in the kansas city episode hurt. bb is trying SO FUCKING HARD and her brain literally just CANNOT. and now there’s an adult getting frustrated and irritated with her and boy isn’t THAT familiar. 

and she’s SO fucking nervous about starting school in jackson bc she has such a good thing with joel, but she knows how school is gonna go. she’s gonna go, the teacher will realize she’s stupid, then they’ll tell joel, then joel will know she’s stupid. she pitches a FIT not wanting to go but ends up going anyway bc it’s a hard line for joel. 

and she goes in expecting to get made fun of or written off like fedra and instead her teacher takes her aside after class and gives her a WORD?? for what her brain does?? it’s not?? just her?? and she’s still SO fucking nervous to tell joel later bc great one more way she’s a problem for him to solve. 

and instead joel just fucking goes to talk to her teacher and helps her do some research in the library to find accomodations for her?? what?? joel sitting down with her for her to practice reading with? and not even? getting frustrated with her? 

lil bean just FINALLY getting the acceptance and support she needs to thrive 

Iroh knew that zuko was the blue spirit because one day when they were in the Earth Kingdom he saw the blue spirit wanted poster and thought “what kind of person would break into a fire nation prison to free the avatar wearing a theater mask of all…. I turn my back for one minute”

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

Did you know swans give hugs with their necks? google swan hugs, you won't regret it.

Once Ellie learns what a sleepover is, she regularly bullies Tommy into having them with her (he goes willingly but he makes her work for it nevertheless).

He's not only the cool Uncle tm but also the person she can talk to about stuff she doesn't always want to talk to Joel about, either because it would make him worry a lot or because it would be an incredibly awkward conversation she has no intention of having with him. Tommy knows how to keep a secret and he would never betray Ellie's trust.

They maneuver mattresses onto the living room floor and eat enough sugar to kill a small toddler. Most of the time, their nights consist of Ellie doing weird shit to his hair and painful face masks that she discovers in old magazines, watching movies Joel either deeply dislikes or doesn't want her to watch (trying to protect the last of her innocence, sweet attempt but futile, since nothing of that is left anyway), and gossiping; Tommy is GREAT at gossip.

Joel is a bit jealous that he isn't invited, but when he comes to pick her up in the mornings and sees her curled up with Tommy the exact same way he and Sarah would when he made his brother babysit, the bittersweet surge of affection is worth the comparably lonely night in his bed.

Ellie deserves every bit of family she can get.
