More ‘Zuko and Jin reunite’ fluff
**Much time later**
Hunter, to Luz, lying facedown on the bed, regretting everything: And then I called him dad, oh Titan-
Darius, downstairs in the kitchen with Raine and Eber, holding back a tiny smile: And then he called me dad-
Anyway, someone write a two-part fic where
1. Kyoshi, like, materializes or whatever through Aang to tell Suki she’s incredibly proud of her and how she’s protected not only her friends but all of Kyoshi Island
2. Five minutes later Aang accidentally makes eye contact with Zuko for .1 seconds and Roku immediately clambers up topside to also tell his grandson he’s proud of him
THIS CONCEPT >>>>>
favorite atla fics are the ones where the gaang finds out roku is zukos great grandfather and aang’s immediate reaction is to start hollering “GREAT GRANDSON!!!” at zuko like. aang’s 12 but is canonically the embodiment of embarrassing grandpa it’s perfect
my favorite ship dynamic is betrayal. not when they betray each other but when one or both of them turn against their cause, their principles and/or loved ones for the other. bonus points if the person they're abandoning everything for didn't remotely expect it. ultimate declaration of love. "you mean more to me than everything i ever believed in. i am more loyal to you than my conscience. i love you more than the thing i would die for."

Artist Zuko really is one of the best things in the world!!😍
HE IS!! I love the idea of it being therapeutic for him (hence his characterization in All the Lights are Shining). I also love the idea of him just being super casual about it. I headcanon that it was something he had to learn as part of his formal education like all of the other noble kids, but he just became exceptional at it. His mother encouraged him (of course) and Iroh continued to do so once Zuko was in his care. So Zuko is just like, “Yeah. This is a skill I was required to learn, but it’s also one of my favorite hobbies and it helps me work through all of my emotions and trauma. And I guess I’m kind of decent at it?”
Also, when the Gaang finds out he can draw, Suki and Toph mercilessly tease Sokka about how much better an artist Zuko is than him. And Katara and Aang want Zuko to teach them how to draw. They keep asking him and he finally relents. It turns out Aang is pretty decent, but Katara is just as bad as Sokka. Zuko is just perplexed by that because Katara excels at so many things, so how is she so bad at this?
(I just have a lot of ideas surrounding artist!Zuko. 🥰)
Katara: I’m getting worried about how many nightmares you’ve been having.
Zuko: It’s okay. My nightmares are usually about losing you, but I’m okay once I realize you’re here.
Aang, surrounded by baffled councilmen, interrupted mid meeting: "ZUKO I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU’D DO SOMETHING SO RECKLESS!”
Zuko, half burnt after fistfighting his latest assasin: “It’s not that bad. Besides, you’re like twelve, you don't have to worry about this”
Aang: “only tw—I was the one who—! No, you know what? I’m calling your grandpa!”
The councilmen, thinking of Azulon: “?!”
Zuko: “WAIT NO AANG I’M SORRY!”
Aang, meditating aggressively: “TOO LATE.”
Roku, taking Aang’s place: “ZUKO I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU’D DO SOMETHING SO RECKLESS!”
The councilmen, losing their fucking minds: “?!?!?!????!??!???!”
