So Paku will be Zuko’s grandpa?
Okay so I know this is a joke but I have FEELINGS, and the feelings are thusly:
In no AU of mine will Pakku marry Gran-Gran
Because that is a happy ending for Pakku, NOT for Gran-Gran. Woman literally travelled the world during a genocidal war to get away from him. The Avatar writers are not super great about considering the perspective of their older female characters, and what they want; they default to "What does the man who wants her want?" and that is not a good look.
This is their actual flow chart, recovered from a storyboarding session:
"Is she old?"
YES
"Is she Water Tribe?"
YES
"The man who wanted her married her, after which she did nothing of note beyond Being His Wife and living happily in an ice hut and smiling, despite canonically traveling the world and Fighting The Patriarchy in her youth"
Note that this applies equally to Gran-Gran and Katara.
