I made a bunch of these so you can expect that this is all I'm posting for the next few days
“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 love the fact that you now have two different au's where it's like. "Prince Zuko has tragically died at sea. He's dead now. So very tragic." "Hey, WATER TRIBE here! LOOK WHO WE GOT!!!"
If you're trying to imply that I'm slowly building up a trope-drinking-game multiverse
I can niether confirm nor deny your accusations
Here is a polar bear goose to distract you
"HONK"
Fire lord Zuko being just a bit ferrel . And his music taste is no different
At his coronation. Some of his surviving crew Start a sea shanty. Coz though he pretends he hates them they know he loves them.
There’s a moment of tense quiet when all the upperclass look at the new fire lord shocked at sutch a scandal. To see what he’ll do, expecting him to be angry . Only for Zuko ( who in his defence is still on a lot of pain meds ) to join in enthusiastically knowing all the words .
He also likes a lot of angry “ down with the fire lord” music that he Hurd in the earth kingdom. Witch is problematic since he now is said leader. He once took a protest completely off guard coz they were expecting a fight but Instead he told them to carry on coz he liked that song .
good morning camp camp nation (it’s almost 2pm)
Whoever said this obviously hasn't seen the original 🤣
Good ol’ amnesia fic. Joel wakes up from a bad concussion and doesn’t remember Ellie. He initially feels apathy vs mild hostility bc how dare his past self think he could replace Sarah with any random fourteen-year-old girl? But something hits him deep in his gut when he catches a clearly upset Ellie with a bag of her stuff trying to sneak past him down the stairs. growls at her that there’s no need for her to move out. Softens his voice a little as he offers to move out, if that would make her more comfortable.
Tommy comforting her, arms around her shoulders as she clings to his chest and sobs
gah this would be sooo hard for Ellie. She will deserve so many cuddles once Joel comes to his senses
Give Hunter all the family
Please reblog, don’t repost :)
**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-
AU where when Zuko and Katara board the Southern Raiders' ship, they discover, like in canon, that the current captain is not the man who killed Katara's mother. However, having a look around the ship, they find a room in which there is a small, terrified child, dressed in clothing that Katara recognizes as resembling that worn by a village that neighbors hers, but which her people lost contact with years ago. The child is about five or six years old, and when questioned, says that she is the last waterbender of the Southern Water Tribe.
