I thought about all that power that he has not let be seen so that his father does not see his end coming (and also about making all the scars in places that wouldn’t be visible to the eye with a tunic, those scars that his high lord caused him)
Fire Lord Zuko and fem!outlaw!reader are way more inseparable than he'd like to admit...

Zuko was having yet another day of monotonous decision-making. As the Fire Lord - in a peaceful setting -, running errands, listening to his overtly boring chamberlain and sitting on the throne were his biggest priorities.
His days were long and boring with nothing around that could bring a smile to his face, that was now in a constant structure of meh.
He was sitting on his spacious balcony, sipping tea, when he heard multiple of his guards shout, followed by rapid footsteps and heroic grunts.
However, Zuko did not get even nearly bothered.
Instead, he stood up from his velvety armchair calmly, not a twitch of facial expression to be found on him. Setting his tea aside, he left his spot.
Once down in the open and mesmerizing middle of his royal gardens, two guards, who were holding a human form betwen them, approached him. However, the young lord still showed an emotionless and composed demeanor.
"Fire Lord Zuko! We have captured an intruder— she was trying to climb up the walls of the royal palace!" Reported one of the guards - a young boy, on his very first day of the job, part of the new security brigade, as the usual one was on a well needed vacation.
Zuko's eyes traveled up and down you, the "intruder", before making eye contact. That mischievous glint you had in yours was all too familiar already.
You were held like a threat to the whole neither, and honestly, you did have all the qualities and stereotypical visual cues to be classified as one, therefore it was no surprise the guards were handling you the way they were.
He sighed, closing his eyes for a very brief moment before speaking up.
"Release her."
The command caught the two newbies off guard. Though, knowing they were in no position to question anything their Fire Lord told them, they immediately followed the instruction.
And then, as soon as you were let go-
"WHOO- well, that was fun, think we should do it sometime soon again, yeah?" You said as you stood up straight, rolling your shoulders and shaking out your limbs.
Without saying anything else, you began walking past Zuko, but didn't get to make more than a three step distance.
Not even bothering to look at you, he lifted one hand, placed it on top of your head and turned you around with it, so you'd face him. Then, he pushed your head back enough so you would look up at him, as he finally let his eyes drop to yours, as well.
"Where do you think you're going?" He inquired, his tone of voice flat, and his face still, like a statue's.
"Uhhhh, I dunno, to your kitchen?" You replied instantly and sassily, as if it were as obvious as the sky being blue.
Zuko couldn't help but let out a small sigh of exasperation, dropping his hand to the side before asking further.
"You have a pass to the palace. A pass signed by me. Why must you always cause a commotion instead of walking in, like a normal person?" His tone was dripping in aggravation, but there was a layer of softness all over it, one that kept the negativities contained.
"I'm doin' you a favour, really," You insisted defiantly "I knew you were having a new security team, just thought I'd test them. Y'know, make sure they're guarding you right, all that jazz."
Bullshit.
Everything word leaving your mouth was pure, unfiltered and unashamed bullshit. And yet, Zuko found himself... not enraged, for some reason.
"Right. Of course." Zuko mumbled with a sigh before turning towards the palace as well, a silent permission for you to go inside.
"There ya go, buddy," You said as you spun around and began walking along side him in confident, prideful strides. "I already know your cook cannot waiiiittt to see me again. That guy loves me."
"I doubt he does." Zuko Interjected softly, his eyes sternly on his path, but his demeanor much more relaxed than before now, that it was just the two of you, falling into a familiar pattern of conversation you often had.
You scoffed. "Pfft, yeah, he does." You insisted almost incredulously.
"Last time you were here, you made him cry because he forgot to make your favorite dessert." The Fire Lord reminded, now looking at you with eyes unusually soft, and a fond smile he hoped went unnoticed by his servants and guards. "And you don't even know his name."
"Nahh, you don't understand— bullying is a love language, okay? And why need names when I can just call him idiot? He responds to that too, by now." You remarked, looking up at him with that so-uniquely-you, cocky, stupid little smirk, before adding: "Love has weird ways, dude, you shouldn't question it."
You only said that as a joke.
As an excuse, as a way to defend yourself, as a quote that wasn't meant to be deep, just looked upon as a sarcastic statement from a person who isn't known to be sappy or emotional in the first place.
Zuko knew that.
But regardless, it made something warm up in his chest and blossom it's way through his whole torso, like an internal embrace that lifted every royal worry and stress off of his chest for a moment, letting him breath freely.
"Yeah." He responded with a bit of a delay, his voice barely above a whisper. "It really does." There was something so affectionate in his eyes that you had to avoid it on purpose, not ready for that level of sentimentality yet.
And Zuko knew another thing.
You knew this one, too.
You both knew that dancing around each other will eventually create more difficulties than pleasantries.
But right now, this was enough. And the confrontation of your feelings can bear to wait another day.
Another week.
Another month.
Or maybe even another year...
A/N: AGAUSFYVWTSGJYU i luv them sososososososos muchhhh. if yall wanna request anything w this pairing you can👀👀 im js saying👀👀👀 i rlly wouldn't mind👀👀👀 if you guys👀👀👀 had any more ideas👀👀👀👀👀 for these two👀👀👀👀
In ATLA, we hear how Ozai is the Firelord, and Azula wants to become the next Firelord. This implies that the title of Firelord is gender neutral. This is later confirmed by the existence of previous female Firelords, and (my bad guys, there were no previously known female Firelords before Izumi) Izumi also being called a Firelord.
And later on when we learn more about Ursa, we find that she used to be called Firelady.
Does this mean that the term Firelady is also gender neutral and all spouses of the Firelord are called that. Because that would be great.
He's not good with feelings and he wishes he could tell you how he feels
You didn't learn from him that he had a crush on you. In fact, you heard rumors, but you dismissed them
He tried to tell you, but it doesn't seem he could
Things just never went right and he always seemed to say he was wrong
Tries asking Sokka for help. Bad idea
If he thought you weren't close before, you sure aren't now
He groans, hands on his face, before going through his hair. How could you not like him? He worked with the Avatar to bring peace and harmony even against his fire. Hell! He was the Fire Lord for crying out loud
He was the Fire Lord.... meaning-
Well, one way or another you are going to be with him, whether you like it or not
