Wait I wanna read this now-

okay that atla snippet KILLED me. want to share bits from any of your other atla wips? dealer's choice!

We'll go with something from Care & Keeping, which is an AU 5+1 fic (aka five times Zuko got Sokka to talk about Feelings like a functioning human person and one time Sokka didn't make Zuko talk about his) (aka the care and keeping of your emotionally stunted friend when you’re not used to having friends while learning how to run a country (is Zuko or Sokka the stunted one? (The answer is yes!!!!))) where Sokka stays in the Fire Nation after the war to be an advisor/bodyguard/catch-all trusted person while Zuko establishes his rule after the war.

I actually got pretty far in this one, but I don't anticipate finishing it. Regardless! This little snippet is from the first entry, when the Southern Water Tribe, Aang, and Katara are getting ready to leave. Picture the docks with all the people loading ships with stuff. The night before, Sokka told his dad about his plans to stay, which Hakoda (who was really looking forward to, y'know, being home with both his kids) doesn't take great. And scene:

Sokka opens his mouth like he might say something, but stops. Someone calls for Hakoda. Hakoda hesitates, and then walks away. Sokka sags, shoulders slumping, to lean heavily on his crutch.

Zuko frowns and elbows Aang. “What’s going on with them?” he asks.

“Sokka and his dad got into a fight last night,” Aang says, quietly, so only Zuko can hear. “It was really bad. Hakoda yelled. I didn’t think that Hakoda ever yelled.”

There is a barbed, hard thing that lives in Zuko’s chest, and it sharpens every time one of his friends clashes with a parent. It wakes when Toph’s face goes blank as she’s read a letter from the Beifongs, or when Mai’s mother tells her she could be so pretty if only she smiled, or, like right now, when Aang says that Hakoda yelled. And Zuko knows, he knows, that not all fathers are like his father. He knows that Hakoda is as far from Ozai as a man can reasonably get. 

But Sokka stands on the dock, stiff-backed and uncertain among his own people, and Hakoda very deliberately coils a rope into a loop without turning to look at his son.

Aang smiles thinly and says, “Guess Katara’s temper doesn’t come from her mom,” and the thing in Zuko’s chest bares it’s teeth and snarls.

Bonus Panel:

Been rewatching Avatar The Last Airbender and listening to Avatar: Braving The Elements Podcast lately and it's been great revisting this world. This show had such a big influence on me as a kid and it's great to see how well it still holds up for me as an adult.

Now it makes me smile to think of Aang and Zuko babysitting their lil dragon friend 🧡

It’s be utterly awful, angsty and destroy my soul if Katara looked at Sokka one day and said “you look like mom”. Maybe that’s why Katara remembers Kya’s face and Sokka doesn’t. Because Katara would turn and Sokka would be there, but Sokka had no one to observe, no reference point to pin to his mom’s face and the few things he did have was personality which he pinned to Katara. 

#my heart #I should write a fic if this #😭😭😭

Baby Azula: We are gathered here today-

Baby Zuko: *Sobs*

Baby Azula: To honor the life-

Ozai: And death.

Baby Zuko: *Sobs harder*

Baby Azula: Of Blue, someone who meant much to us all. He was family. A victim of... uh...

Baby Zuko: *Sobs some more*

Ozai: This is pathetic. I’m going back to the beach house.

Ursa, comforting Zuko: Don’t be so rude! This is a funeral!

Ozai: For a crab.

Iroh: Be quiet, both of you! Lu Ten, start the music again.

Lu Ten: Sure thing Dad.

Baby Azula: We only knew Blue for a day when he was tragically taken from us.

Baby Zuko: *Wails*

3 sentence aus

Uncle is seeing him again, Zuko can tell—it’s in the way his eyes go soft and far away, as though the mangrove roots and black water of the swamp have vanished from his sight, and the unbroken walls of Ba Sing Se are rising up in their place.

“Lu Ten?” Iroh breathes, already stretching out his hands, and Zuko tightens his grip on his uncle’s shoulder.

“It’s just me, Uncle,” he mutters, and closes his eyes so that he won’t have to see Uncle’s face crumple as he loses his son all over again.
