I have a fic idea but it is based purely on vibes and a single image in my head.
Does anyone have Zuko x reader fic recs?
I feel like I read every single one of them🥹🥹🥹.
Summary: Zuko asked you to stay in the Fire Nation so he could come back to a friendly face, and you more than fullfil your promise.
Word Count: 550
Author’s Note: Two sequels back to back? A girl is on some emotional bullshit. This is the epilogue for From Eden - I sort left it open for a little continuation, and I just read an incredible fic that also ripped my beating heart from my chest and held it sadisicially in front of my face, so I decided to jot down a little 3AM tenderness. Enjoy.
~ Muerta
“When I do leave… will you stay? So I have at least one friendly face to come back to someday?”
Zuko’s words ricocheted around your head as you flew between the buildings of the imperial city, your feet carrying you faster than you ever thought they could run. The moment you heard about his confrontation with Azula, you were gone, not even waiting for the messenger to finish his sentence before you darted through the threshold of your quarters and into the humid late summer air, orange sunlight slanting the shadows of the world around you as it guided you forward.
The war was over. Ozai was defeated.
As you approached the gates of the palace, the guards stationed outside didn’t pause to question you - instead they stepped aside, allowing you to rush past without suspicion or inquiry. Zuko sent for you, he knew you were coming, yet you still felt as if you couldn’t reach him fast enough, like the only thing that could truly bring you back together was to see each other, unimpeded by distance at last.
You crashed through the doors of the royal infirmary, panting wildly with sweat dripping down your face, soaking through the collar and back of your tunic.
Your childhood protector stood by the room’s open window, his torso wrapped in bloodstained bandages and draped with a silken robe. He snapped his attention toward you, startled at first by the sudden intrusion, his gaze easing with relief the moment his eyes met yours.
“Zuko!”
You flung yourself into his arms and he caught you, unaware of the pain that shook his body as you slammed into the burns in his chest. His arms viced around your waist, fingers digging into the fabric of your shirt and the skin beneath it as he clutched you to him, face buried in the crook of your neck. You took in a quivering breath, breathing in the scent of him as sobs began to shake you; smoke from the hearth of a sturdy house filled your lungs.
“You’re okay,” you whispered into Zuko’s neck. “I’m so glad you’re okay.”
For ages, you and Zuko held each other, knuckles white and bodies sore with the tightness of your grip. Zuko’s fingers knotted themselves in your hair, while your face nestled deeper into the space between his jaw and shoulder, tears raining on his exposed skin. He said nothing, simply hushed you in the calming way he used to do when you were children.
You missed him. Spirits, had you missed him.
When you finally pulled away, Zuko rested his palms at either side of your head, the heat of his skin warming your cheeks while his thumbs stroked over your cheekbones. He gazed at you deeply, with an expression you’d never seen in him before, his eyes lidded yet somehow agape, lips slightly parted as he still held you close.
“I missed you,” he rasped. “I was so worried… I missed you. I love you.”
Before his words had even fully pieced together in your mind, your hands rose to his neck and pulled him to you, moulding your lips to his in a desperate kiss. He kissed you back, and you felt as if a painting left unfinished were finally completed.
Zuko was home.

Holy shit!!!! Where's the fic!? I can imagine the angst potential and it is SENDING ME! Like the obvious angst that comes with not actually unrequited love fics and the sacrifice themself for their love trope as well as the will they won't they death thing but also the overall arc of starting by going back to the northern water tribe. The place of so many unresolved issues for especially Sokka but also Zuko given how he's trying so hard to atone for past mistakes he and his people made. He may even take the blame of Yue as it was him and his people that attacked that night. Even though it was ultimately Zhaos fault for how that night turned out it would be in character for Zuko to take the blame on himself especially when directly faced with the loss Yue's death caused. Of course seeing Sokka having a hard time over past memories would make it that much worse and when Sokka throws himself in front of an attack Zuko feels he ultimately deserves? The guilt and self-loathing would be SO much worse. When Sokka is grievously injured by this to the point no one knows if he will survive? That guilt and self-loathing rolls up into an intense ball of pain. There's also the regret of not being brave enough to tell Sokka how he felt before it was possibly too late. All this combined would mean that if Sokka didn't survive, Zuko would have a hard time finding the will to himself. Severely needing someone to confide all of this to and reassuring himself that Sokka couldn't hear him anyway, he starts to talk. After all he can't do anything about the majority of his problems but not being more open with Sokka? That's something he can work on, even if it all falls on deaf ears. However Sokka is much more aware than Zuko knows as we are well aware. While in the spirit world Sokka is able to receive that closure from Yue but is forced to listen to the one he loves unknowingly bare his soul to him and Sokka finds that Zuko is struggling much more than he assumed he would. Now confronted with Zukos pain as well as his own from not being able to fix it, that pining angst would be almost UNBEARABLE! We all know Sokka is a fixer. When he sees the people he loves in pain, he has this urge to make it all go away. Knowing there is nothing he can do, the crushing feelings of helplessness would be nearly overwhelming. However the reassurance from Yue that it's ok to move on and that what happened to her was not his fault would ultimately be very important for Sokka's character. Plus when Sokka and Zuko reunite and we finally get sweet sweet communication and confirmations of "yes, I heard everything. Yes I love you too. Yes I'm okay," it'll just be *chef's kiss*🤌
Ok a zukka fic idea: so after the war Sokka decides to stay in the fire nation with zuko. But first he does have to cover some things in the water tribes. He spends some time in the south trying to make tentative alliances and treaties and such. He also helps oversee the reconstruction effort and migrations from the sister tribe. He takes a short break to spend time in the fire nation (for business only... not because he misses a certain fire lord...). (1) - 🐼
So he goes back to the fire nation before he heads up north, to meet with other nobles that aren’t in the southern water tribe. And zuko comes with him. They are both pining still, because they are both idiots. But one day (either the first day or sometime during their visit) someone tries to attack zuko. Mainly Bc they still blame him for the previous damage or just Bc he’s the from the fire nation or he’s the fire lord. I also think it would make it interesting if it was yue’s fiancé. (2) -🐼
So someone tries to attack zuko, but right before zuko can react or the attack hits him, sokka jumps in the way to protect zuko. And he falls off into the water. When they retrieve him he’s unconscious and barely alive. The healers can only do so much and he remains unconscious. We see zuko promptly break down over this. And he regrets never telling sokka how he feels and stuff. And maybe we sokka is aware of what’s happening around him. Maybe he’s in the spirit world. (3) -🐼
So sokka’s unconscious...... and he’s getting worse. The healers notice this. Zuko notices this. Sokka knows this. But the in the spirit world we see Yue. And she saves him. Kinda like how the moon did that for her before she does that for sokka now. And he wakes up with white hair and maybe a moon marking or something. Then we see the aftermath. Sokka has to deal with Yue saving him and seeing her again. Zuko has to deal with almost losing sokka. (4) -🐼
They end up together ofc. But yeah idk. What do you think? - 🐼
this is SUCH A GOOD IDEA and it’s a really clever way to incorporate @peachieflame’s moon spirit sokka into a post-canon zukka au! i seriously love everything about this.
maybe seeing yue again would really cement in sokka’s brain how much his love for her was mostly infatuation, and how what he feels for zuko goes so, so much deeper than that. her and sokka would have many a beautiful conversation during their time together, i think.
she’d do something that would allow them to visit sokka’s room where he’s been healing. they’d be able to see zuko sitting at his bedside, holding one of sokka’s hands between both of his, knuckles against his lips.
in the spirit world, yue and sokka would talk about deep stuff, but i think they’d also have a lot of fun, too. finally yue would be able to show someone all the fun spots in the spirit world that she’d never been able to share with anyone else. she kind of wants sokka to stay with her forever, but she knows that ultimately, it’s not his time yet. i think deep in her heart, she’d know that it’s her duty to give some of the moon spirit life energy to sokka, and bring him back to the land of the living.
(i like to think sokka would wake up with a massive mark/tattoo because of the time he spent in the spirit world - a koi fish across the expanse of his back and flowing water that would curl over one shoulder and down his arm, and stretch down his opposite leg, to remind him what saved his life.)
throughout his time in the spirit world, sokka would have checked up on zuko SO MUCH that he’d be pretty damn sure that his feelings are returned. he’d have overheard so many conversations and little snippets that zuko would whisper to him. (maybe when zuko is specifically speaking to him, sokka can hear him no matter where in the spirit world he is. he’ll be sitting on a tree stump with yue and he’ll just hear zuko’s quiet rasp of “please, sokka. please come back to me.”) sokka would want to get back right then and there, but yue holds his wrist so he can’t get very far, and says, “not yet.”
one day, yue will press a hand to sokka’s heart, and say, “it’s time.” she presses harder, and oh, that kind of hurts. he feels a prickling sensation across his back and arm and leg, and a burning across his whole body that he hasn’t felt since the ice water dragged him into its depths.
but then he’s blinking his eyes open and zuko’s right there, and then they kiss and talk about how head over heels in love they are and live happily ever after 😌

Welcome to Sena’s Adventures!
The Government Building in Shun Fei, one of the three independent city states
The story takes place 165 years after the original story, with a completely different world building than Legend of Korra. (Yes, this comic is a sequel to AtLA and not LoK.)
Life in Shun Fei is a little bit different than how things used to be.
As for the main character of the story, it is Sena, a 12 year-old, non-bender boy. He is a bookworm and mostly annoyed with his life.
>>Click here to start reading from page 1
Now, please let me tell you a little bit about how this comic came to be!
I was a die-hard fan of Avatar: The Last Airbender as a kid, and that love has never died. I've always felt that Avatar's world was so lush and alive, that so many unique stories could be born from it. And even the most simple and humble ones would be infinitely interesting.
You definitely don't have to agree with me, but I was personally disappointed with how things went after the first series, meaning with both LoK and the comics (which I must admit I've never watched or read in entirety). For one thing, I couldn't come to terms with how Avatar's world had changed so much and became a lot more like our own world. So I asked, "If it were me, how would I write it?" And that's how this comic came to be.
( Despite this, I really hope that LoK fans will still enjoy my story as an AU! )
Sena's Adventures, at its core, is meant to be a story which examines the complex spiritual problems that arise from modernization. AtLA did something very similar, but through the framework of imperialism and war. Sena's Adventures on the other hand, takes place in a peaceful time. And even though its world is technologically far less advanced than that of LoK, it still carries the seed of a conflict between "reason and magic".
〜
I wanted this story to feel simple and naive, like a children’s story. I really like that about AtLA and I believe many others do too, despite our biological ages.
〜
And a final confession. I have never tried being active on the internet consistently before and it makes me a bit nervous. I have actually been drawing this comic for almost 2 years and I made only 24 pages in total, because I had very long breaks. But now that I’m uploading it, I intend to try my best to keep it going consistently.
Just so you know, from page 9 and on, I went monochrome for convenience and I’ll probably go less detailed with the shading in future pages for the same reason.
〜
Please enjoy Sena’s story!
( I’m really excited for the other main characters to be revealed, but it will take a while! )
So the author of this fiction has sadly left AO3 and I was never able to read the finished fic; does anyone have a saved copy of the fic?
Please??
IT WAS SO GOOD!! 😭😭😭
I need this shit in my life!!!
Do you think CatZula would go with Zuko and Iroh after the Northern Seige, or stay with the Gaang??
does anyone try to dress cat azula in clothes or armor?
In the versions I'd write they do try it. Once.
Does it still work if I pick and choose what part of Lok and the comics I include in my fan fiction??
Did you know that if you ignore lok and the comics, your fanfic, fanart, fandom interactions, and real life will improve immensely?

While this isn't my own work, I can't help but want to share because of how amazing it is!! And azulaang fic, most of the characters are very ooc but it's an AU set after "Crossroads of Destiny" where Aang is captured by Azula. I HIGHLY SUGGEST YOU CHECK IT OUT!!! Its still on going and the author has stated there will be a sequel!!
Ok I got a question for all my fanfic writers.
When you're writing a story or brainstorming one, do the ideas usually come in chronological order or are they all over the board?
I've got ideas for some if the major events of my fic but I'm having trouble planing the parts inbetween.
So I've come up with this crack idea that werebeasts could be possible in the Avatarverse. Hear me out.
So we know that spirits can disfigured people through possession right? What about if a person willingly allowed a spirit to posses them to obtain some of the spirits abilities. Basically a possession based werebeast instead of a curse.
I'm thinking of putting the idea in my fanfic because the MC is gunna be an isekai character with an obsession with wolves/werewolves.
