Atla Gen Week 2022.
Day 5: Childhood/children.
This is a glimpse of our AU “Fire Sage Lu Ten”.
[ID: Mini comic with two vignettes in monochrome magenta.
In the first vignette, a pre-teen Lu Ten confidently and excitedly says “I’m a prince!, how hard can it be?” he holds Zuko and Azula who are little children in each arm, Zuko in the right arm and Azula in the left arm, they are holding hands on the front of Lu Ten. In the background on the left side it reads “Babysitter for the first time” with emphasis lines on the edge of the vignette.
In the second vignette, in a darkened stillness, Zuko and Azula are floating, both with glowing eyes, mouths open as they hold hands. Lu Ten screams frightened. End ID].
@atla-gen-week
I always wonder about how yue occupies her time in the spirit world. I bet she’d enjoy the library :)
Darius: Hunter is stuck in the human realm! What if something happens to him?
Alador: My daughter is there too, but it'll be okay. They're with Luz. Your son will be safe.
Darius: Son? Hunter isn't my son.
Alador: He isn't?
Eberwolf: He isn't??
Raine, Eda and the rest of the Boiling Isles: He isn't???
The fire nation after finding out their fire lord is dating both sokka and Suki: so um...who’s gonna be the fire lady?
Sokka, immediately: ME!
Everyone: um, sokka...
Sokka: what?! Suki is already a kyoshi warrior AND the captain of zuko’s personal guard, so I get to be the fire lady! When’s my coronation and who’s gonna get me my tiara?
zuko: sorry for sending that assassin
sokka: you’re the one who sent combustion man?!?!?!
zuko:
zuko: thats not his name 🤨
For Hearth and Home by @sword-and-stars has been giving me brainrot for the better part of a month
Iroh's wife died while giving birth to Lu Ten
Ozai punished Zuko after he failed at firebending practice by burning his hands and forbidding him to tell anyone including Ursa and forcing him to say ut was his own fault
Ty Lee has synesthesia, hence why she sees auras (people's feelings)
Sokka despised the months of not being able to walk with a broken leg so after Katara deemed him okay, he sprinted through the palace and overwhelmed his leg which put him back in the cast
Zuko secretly loves tea but refuses to give uncle the satisfaction
After Zuko's ship blew up, his crew aboard Zhao's ship heard about it, thought Zuko died (since Iroh joined Zhao) and dealt with it surprisingly badly (he might have been a brat, but he was their brat)
Pakku and Iroh don't like each other very much and tend to fight in this very peaceful manner of offhandedly thrown comments, said with sickeningly fake smiles
Zuko calls Iroh dad once, without even noticing it and Iroh's too stunned to speak for a moment, but he doesn't want his nephew to feel awkward for pointing that out so he just carries on the conversation
The whole Gaangs sleeps in a big cuddle pile even after the war
Sometimes Toph wakes up from the nightmare of Sokka letting go of her hand and when she does, she reaches for his hand and he subconsciously squeezes it
**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-
I saw this tumblr post and HAD to draw it, please accept my humble A:TLA offering.
Zuko's crew. T_T I'm now convinced every night had some sort of family activity soused with boiler room hooch. Zuko has zero poker face on mahjong night, while Jee wipes everyone clean with his RBF. And let's not forget Zuko and Aang are Azula-lightning-scar buddies, too. In through the chest and out through the back.
SOBBING!! you are so right about everything omg. I mean zuko lived on the ship with that crew for three whole years, and like. ok yeah he was at peak bastard mode during that time but they MUST have bonded in some way!! Mandatory game night at least once a week! zuko might be shitty at table games but they find out he obliterates everyone at charade.
And AAA OMFG DID U READ MY MIND. I DO HAVE a doodle of aang & a very crispy zuko being “mortal wound from azula” buddies lmao. Slapped some color on it just for you. mwah.
(while we’re at it they also have an epic tsungi horn duo going on as a side gig)
Concept: there's so much pushback against Zuko marrying someone from the Water Tribe (something about foreign interests idk) that he turns around and says "ok I'll find someone else"
He turns up the next day, and introduces his new suitor. "This is Wang Fire, respected veteran and citizen of the fire nation."
He produces all of the legal documents proving that Wang Fire is a citizen, and the council wants to argue that it's just Sokka in red with a beard, but they can't because whenever he shows up in blue, Zuko refers to him as "Ambassador Sokka."
