Betrothal Necklace -- Zutara Headcanon

Ok, this definitely can't be a new Zutara headcanon, but if we suppose that Kanna gave her son her betrothal necklace to gift to Kya when he proposed (kind of Crazy Rich Asians style, but without the prior disapproval), wouldn't it make sense for Katara to gift it to Zuko when they get married? Of course, she might not want to give away the only thing she has left of her mother, so I'd still adore the idea of her carving one for him. I always read fics with Sokka doing it for Suki, and you CANNOT tell me it's only a guy-to-girl thing. You know Zuko's devoted, sentimental butt would wear that necklace literally everywhere. We're talking about the boy who kept his uncle's smelly slipper for no discernible reason other than pure sentiment. The jerk-hole war ministers and advisors gasping scandalously would really just be the cherry on top. Also, Katara would just love it. Claiming a tradition historically reserved for Northern Water Tribe men? Getting the chance to further share her family's traditions/culture with Zuko and the rest of the Fire Nation? Sign her the egg up!

touch-starved zuko being cuddled by katara because she loves how comforting his warmth is.

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.

anyway i think itd be nice if the whole atla gang was meant to take a month-long reunion friend-reconnection extravaganza trip 15 years after they all settled in their different roles and jobs and parts of the world, but a few days in Problems at their respective jobs/homes/families start popping up that force each of them to leave early one by one until only zuko and sokka are left for weeks alone and it's awkward until it's not so bad until it's actually kinda romantic all of a sudden and just when they start to recognize what's going on, friendos all start coming back, having solved their issues at home and absolutely ready to rejoin the last leg of their reunion vacation together which puts no strain at all on anyone's budding feelings whatsoever

MORE OF MISS BAILEY NOCEDA !!!!

zuko's type is terrorists with good hearts and I think that's beautiful

Sokka: Why are Katara and Zuko sitting back to back?

Jet: They're fighting.

Sokka: ...and why are they both on your lap?

Jet: They get sad when they fight.

First Jetkotara fanart ever and I'm really proud of it 💕

[ID: Looking at the image from left to right: Jet, Zuko and Katara are on a couch relaxing together. Zuko and Jet are sitting close, looking at a copy of Love Amongst the Dragons that Zuko is reading aloud. Katara is lying down looking up at Zuko, with her head on his legs. All of them are wearing a pair of dark trousers in different shades (burgundy, dark brown, dark purple) and a shirt. Katara and Zuko have long untied hair. Jet has his left arm around Zuko's shoulder, his hand on top of Katara's, that is holding Zuko's hand. End ID]

Okay I’ve seen aus with Jet going to the Boiling Rock after Ba Sing Se and aus where Zuko fights Azula and gets sent to the Boiling Rock, but, consider, both

They both get arrested and Zuko has to explain to Jet that yes, he’s a firebender, and yes he’s the prince of the fire nation, and yes he hunted the avatar across the whole world, but he’s totally good now and Jet has to process that he tried to recruit the literal fire prince into his gang

Zuko gets thrown into the cooler very regularly, almost as much as Jet gets put in solitary, because they rarely last more than ten minutes in the same room before Jet tries to start a brawl. After a while he’s not even angry, it’s just kinda boring in prison and Zuko fights good

Suki recognises Zuko immediately, but after she hears why he’s in prison and watches Jet almost throw him off a ledge several times, she decides to forgive him

Thus starts the weirdest friendship trio ever

They actually work really well together, because Suki supplies the group brain cell, Jet gives them terrible ideas, and Zuko carries them out

The other prisoners and some of the guards quickly recognise that the three most dangerous inmates are teenagers, and now that they’re working together, all they can do is pray. They all end up teaching each other fighting forms they know, and Suki discovers Zuko is a total avatar nerd and thinks Kyoshi was the best avatar since Wan (she approves of his assessment)

Suki plays the ‘you burned down my village’ card exactly once. Jet uses ‘you burned down Suki’s village’ almost daily to get Zuko to do things

Sokka arrives looking for his dad and spots Suki in the yard distracting a guard while Jet keeps watch and Zuko steals his keys. He thinks they’re actually planning a break out, but no, Jet just wanted to fuck with the guards and see if Zuko could melt metal

(They’ve tried escaping, but Suki usually stops them because Jet suggests tying all their blankets together, stealing a messenger hawk and training it to tie the rope to a rock across the boiling lake and climbing across that. Zuko, who has never had a plan beyond ‘break into the maximum security stronghold and go from there’, is 100% on board)

When Hakoda arrives and the other inmates warn him not to piss off the three teenage prisoners, he thinks they’re joking. They’re not. He reevaluates when he sees Jet start a riot in less than ten seconds, Suki kidnap the warden, and Zuko break the gondola lever and jump across a boiling lake

Sokka comes back from his fishing trip with four missing people and no fish

Bonus: Suki: “this is my boyfriend Sokka and his boyfriend Zuko and his boyfriend Jet”

My Jetkotara brainbot strikes again. I just love them so much.

Pose references [X]

My discord friends have the best ideas, I just carry them out 🙌🏻

happy pride :) 

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

zuko and his horribifuckus bird based off this post

post-war camping trip, the gaang leaves zuko alone for an hour and he forms a menagerie

zoom for detail!

someone please take sokka’s phone away

i think we as a society need to talk about this more

Hc that the gaang have a monthly game night and whenever Zuko and Aang are on the same team they always lose cause they refuse to cheat (Aang is just too honest and couldn’t get away with it if he tried and Zuko is against it on principal because of honour or whatever)

Everyone else though will cheat like the point of the game is to see who can get away with it the longest. I’m talking secret hand gestures and code phrases and if I scratch my cheek it means this and they are all exceptionally good at it. Katara wasn’t on board at first, but all it took was Toph saying, “yeah you probably wouldn’t be very good at it anyway” to get her to play outside the rules. Sokka and Katara kick everyone’s ass when they play together cause Sokka’s tactical brain, Katara’s competitiveness, and their weird sibling intuition make them a fantastic cheating team

i've seen the occasional joke about bato and hakoda being suspicious of zuko dating sokka and supportive of aang dating katara, and though i understand why you might make that assumption i think it's worth noting that hakoda's first impression of zuko was "guy who helped break me out of prison" and bato's first impression of aang was "weird kid who insulted my cooking and stole my mail"

frequent zukka trope I love to see lol

Bow before Chieftess Yue and her consort Chief-King Zuko.

Zukos rank is directly below Yue, which was decided by them. Arnook and the council didn't like the idea, since that goes against their culture, but Zuko was raised in a society where gender doesn't determine role. He loves his wonderful, intelligent, determined wife. She's a great leader and Zuko is a good support.

[ID: several doodles of an AU about zuko from avatar. first is a comic of young zuko and ursa, where ursa is telling him a story ending with, “but the avatar went into hiding. and he hasn’t been seen for a hundred years since.” zuko is looking at clouds in a circular formation, and says, “he come back, though?” ursa starts to say, “well, zuko, we don’t know when or if—“ but zuko cuts her off by saying, “no. don’t you see it, mom? he will come back.”

second is a page of interactions between zuko and aunt wu. one is her happily saying to him, “you have the gift!”. another is a comic of them where zuko is saying, “how do you tell the difference between a prophecy and a dream, if—“ and aunt wu cuts in to say, “now dead, you’re at the tender age where dreams of love are common, and—“. zuko panickedly cuts in, “—the world ending! the dream is about the world ending.” there is also a section of iroh and wu flirting while zuko angrily shouts in the background.

lastly, zuko is with katara and sokka. he says, “uh, i’m zuko. and well… i’m a fortune-teller.” katara excitedly asks, “really?!”. sokka doubles over laughing, shouting, “you’re what?!” while zuko angrily shouts back, “i am!” and katara chastises sokka. there is also a panel of zuko giving katara a palm-reading while sokka is in the foreground with a pained expression, proclaiming, “it’s not real!”

end ID.]

fortuneteller zuko au or smthing

I saw this tumblr post and HAD to draw it, please accept my humble A:TLA offering.

Working on (yet another) ATLA wip in which during the invasion Azula helps Zuko escape and goes with him (because her beloved dumbass of a brother clearly has not been paying attention to all her subtle warnings on how not to get dead and clearly needs a more direct approach at keeping him alive and mostly in one piece). And in the process of getting the fuck out of dodge, Bato who's been separated from everyone else ends up accidentally crashing their escape party along with Toph and the four of them end up on the run together.

Toph gets along with the two runaway royals who are as suspicious and untrusting if Bato as he is them...at least until the fire siblings unintentionally trauma dump about their fucked up childhood and Bato decides "I'm dad now" and adopts them against their will.

Eventually Azula and Zuko just give up on fighting it and are like "okay cool, you're gonna be Firelord after we kill Ozai and then we can just chill for like, five god damn seconds"

And anyway eventually they all meet up with the Gaang and Hakoda and co and it's just like...

Hakoda:

This is my daughter Katara: Master Water Bender, Teacher of the Avatar, brave and true of heart.

And my son Sokka: genius inventor, master strategist, unmatched in his fierceness and loyalty.

Bato:

This is my new daughter Azula. She'll sell your soul to satan for a fire flake and then use that fire flake to take over hell.

And this is my new son Zuko. He's faral and will probably bite you. Don't leave him alone too long or he'll probably end up trying to fight god again.

And this is Toph... I don't know if I've adopted her or if I'm being held hostage but either way I've started saving up for the next time I have to bail her out of jail.

You know how purple is considered a royal color IRL? In a Zutara AU, it earns that reputation because of them.

Zuko and Katara originally just wear robes of red and blue (Katara blue with red accents, Zuko red with blue accents) but over time they start requesting purple pieces of clothing, and are soon wearing lots of purple with some red and blue. Their kids grow up wearing mostly purple, and thus the next few Firelords, all with significant Water Tribe heritage wear purple. Then the Fire Nation transitions to a true democracy and the throne is abolished, and the living family fades into comfortable obscurity. However, by this time several generations grew up with the Firelord wearing purple. With the origins of its use by the throne, purple is soon used as a symbol in fiction for both power and love against all odds.

THIS CONCEPT >>>>>

Alternative turn on all the Arranged Marriage AUs: Katara is the firelord. Since she defeated Azula, by all the laws, she's legitly the firelord.

Fire sages: *come to help unconscious Zuko*

Katara: Good, he won, he's now the firelord

Fire sages: no you won you're the firelord

Katara: what

And since she doesn't want to be firelord (yet, it's Katara, give her some time and she'll feel super confortable with power) she arranges a marriage with Zuko so he keeps the power as it should have happened.

Zuko: *regains consciousness * Uh

Katara: *wearing a royal topknot and red robes* So, some things might have happened...

Extra points if it happens so fast he's still unconscious

Zuko: you're the firelord

Katara: yup

Zuko: and you married us

Katara: it was necessary, yes.

Zuko: without asking me first?!

Katara: do you want a divorce?

Zuko: No! No, i just-

Katara: Good. Now be a good firelady and help me with the external policies

Long time, no see y’all

Please enjoy this long abandoned messy sketch, pose referenced from that meme photo that I can no longer find anywhere!
