Happy Zutara Month 2025!

Here's my drawing for day 6: Cuddling!

If I allow myself, I'd be noodling this thing to death. So yay for deadlines? Anyways, I hope it's obvious they're cuddling on Appa. He does look cozy to nap on so long as he doesn't turn over in his sleep. >_<

Zuko alone

About 40,000 years ago, I started writing a fake dating AU. I made promises about updates and followed through on none of them.... until now! Nice Diplomacy, By the Way on AO3 has a new chapter and another on the way. Please enjoy the product of my avid avoidance of real life responsibilities.

Zuko barely slept last night so when he heard raised voices outside his office just before lunch, and one of those voices was Sokka, he dropped his head into his hands and braced himself. The door crashed open. ‘My sister?!’ ‘Good morning, Councilman,’ Zuko intoned pointedly, glaring at his friend. His secretary was hot on Sokka’s heels, shooting the Water Tribe man a coolly furious look. ‘It’s okay, Kuzon, I’ll receive the Councilman now.’ ‘Are you sure, my lord?’ ‘Oh, he’s sure,’ Sokka snapped. He’d yet to direct that thunderous expression anywhere but at Zuko.

Zutara Week 2025 day 5: Journey (a Little Cheer for Spitfire)

Sometimes I think about exactly how powerful Zuko’s story as an abuse victim is and I just have to stop and tear up for a minute.

Just let it sink in that at 13 years old, Zuko’s father mutilated him in front of an audience and told him he was worthless and unwelcome until he completed an impossible mission. Nobody stepped in to help him. Most onlookers thought he deserved it, and even Iroh was too afraid of Ozai to challenge him in Zuko’s defense.

Zuko went on for years believing Ozai was right, and didn’t recognize what happened to him as abuse. He thought his banishment and suffering were his own fault because something was wrong with him, and that it was his duty to change to become worthy again.

Then this scene? Absolutely incredible.

Zuko’s whole journey leads up to this confrontation, where he not only recognizes that he holds no responsibility for the abuse inflicted on him; he confronts his abuser and tells him he was wrong to treat him that way, that he doesn’t owe his abuser anything.

And not only that, Zuko also tells Ozai that he sees how he’s hurting the rest of the world the same way he hurt him, and vows to stop him. That’s literally so powerful, especially watching this as someone who once felt as broken and alone as Zuko once did. His story is everything to me.

“Zutara should have been canon” I say into the mic.

The crowd boos. No one agrees. I began to walk with shame, then a voice speaks and commands silence from the room.

“She’s right” They say. I looked for the owner of the voice. There on the 5th row stands: Dante Basco.

[neocherries]

a beautiful quote from @kaf-kaf-kaf : 

“you ever think about how zuko chose his life and nation over m@i but then chose katara over his life and nation”
