summary: someone is up past their bed time
w.c: 524
a/n: recently i've been having baby fever but then i realized i'm broke so i wrote about it instead :) also this is lwk ass but i just wanna get everything i write out
You lay awake, your husband Jason peacefully sleeping beside you that’s a first. You couldn’t sleep no matter how hard you tried to get comfortable your giant belly would get in the way, your baby girl kicking against your ribs. Seven months pregnant and you’re already not sleeping because of your little gremlin. As you shift and turn Jason seemed to notice your restlessness and slowly rose from his slumber. He turned to face you, snaking his arm around your waist and tugging you closer. His breathe tickling the skin of your neck.
“You’re awake” he grumbles sleepily burying his face into the crook of your neck.
“I am”
He hums in response then lifts he head and looks at you. Jason knew how uncomfortable you must be carrying a huge stomach with someone kicking against your insides. He was happy to be having a kid with you of course but the fact that you have to endure so much pain kills him. His hand moves to gently caress your stomach, as if to sooth the baby so that you are able to rest.
“She giving you trouble?” he already knows the answer he just wants you to tell him yourself.
“Yeah, she’s pretty active tonight” you shift slightly, again trying to get comfortable. He sits up and bends down so that his face is hovering your stomach. His brows furrowed, a frown on his face was prominent.
“Hey little lady, let your mama sleep she’s been through a lot today.” he continued rubbing your belly. He then felt a little kick under his palm, damn this kid was already sassing him.
“Don’t gimme that attitude, it’s past your bed time.” you smile at how much of a dad he sounds right now. He gently pats your stomach as to say that his word is final.
His stern stare then softens slightly as he looks at you, god you looked so beautiful even with the bags under your eyes and your messy curls sticking out of your little pineapple bun. He opened his mouth to say something before he felt another little kick. Oh this kid was gonna be a hassle when she finally got here.
“Oh now you’re in trouble.”
Then he went off into a full on lecture, talking about how sleep was important for growing fetuses and how you needed rest as well because you were growing her. He just kept talking and talking trying to make sure the message gets across to your daughter. Though he stopped when he realized that you had fallen asleep mid lecture, a smile tugged at his lips. He placed a little kiss to your stomach before he sat up straight again pulling the covers both of you as he laid back down. He stared at you for a few minutes before gently pulling you closer careful not to wake you.
With a kiss to your forehead and an arm around your waist keeping you pressed against his chest as he slowly fell back asleep. Smiling and happily dreaming about you and your little girl.
summary: zuko finds out a water tribe bakery has opened in the fire nation
a/n: i haven't watched the leaked movie yet, so please no spoilers 😭😭 also i have like 2 other zuko fics i was working on but they were so trash. hope this one is good
Zuko hadn’t expected anything horrific to happen while he was out on a mission, he had expected to come back to some royal affairs and maybe on or two locals complaining but this? Was not what he had expected at all.
Standing in front of him in place of an old restaurant was now a water tribe specialty bakery? He stood outside staring at the building looking out of place with its blue painted walls and icy decorations in the middle of all the fire dark amber fire nation budlings. It seemed to be doing well too, a line came from all the way inside the cafe to a few feet outside of the bakery.
He looked at his guard with a raised eyebrow and his arms crossed.
“This is what has the council in arms?” the guard nodded and bowed his head slightly before replying
“Yes My Lord, they claim that is driving local business owners away.”
He sighed, even after twelve years people were still so hateful. Well now that he’s here he might as well see what they have. As he walked in with a few guards in tow he could smell the sweet and salty aromas. And then he smelt fish…okay that’s not as pleasant.
“Order number 213! One loaf of seaweed bread!” a voice shouted from behind the counter.
Zuko’s eyes followed to where the voice was coming from, only to see you smiling bright as you hand an old lady a packaged loaf of seaweed bread. You were dressed in traditional water tribe attire, similar to Sokka and Katara but a little different. He assumes you must be from the North then.
Your eyes then fall upon Zuko and they slightly go wide.
“Firelord Zuko!” you give an awkward bow from behind the counter, then looking up and smiling sheepishly. “Do what do i owe the pleasure?”
“I heard a new business has opened up and i have decided to check it out.” he takes a step forward as the people around him begin to whisper. Your hands shook slightly from behind your back.
Oh gods, what if he was upset a foreigner was taking up all the business? what if he hated people from the Northern Water tribe? What if the smell of the ocean was so strong he could smell it from the palace. This is what you get for trying to branch out your business! Ugh curse your stupid sister and her suggestions.
“Please clear the area.” he speaks to one of his guards who nods and starts escorting people out of the bakery.
“Firelord Zuko, i apologize if my business may have offended-”
“Offended? Nonsense, i’m simply here to try your desserts without anyone else in the way.”
You stare at him shocked. Firelord Zuko wanted to try your baking? Out of all the royal delicacies he could have had, he chose to instead eat your Kale Cookies? This nation was definitely very weird.
“Um- of course, what could i start you off with?”
“Hm. How about your…Kale Cookies?” you smiled and nodded
“Excellent choice, Your Highness.”
Honestly, Zuko was a little curious to see what it tasted like. Salty and bitter kelp made into a sweet treat? Sure Katara had made him Sea prune stew but this was certainly much different. As you set the plate of cookies in front of him he couldn’t help but wince at the dark green look to them. Well no turning back now.
He picked up a cookie and took a hesitant bite, he was expecting a bitter and fishy taste yet there was nothing but sweetness and a hint of saltiness. The perfect balance. His eyes widen as he looked at you, you seemed to be waiting for his reaction. Your eyebrows furrowed in anticipation. How cute.
He smiled “This is truly amazing, the perfect balance of sweet and salty.” your shoulders ease and you let out a breathe of relief.
“What’s next on the menu?”
After several desserts later, the sun had set and Zuko was pleasantly stuffed. He leaned back in his seat with a grin. He felt like he was in heaven, away from work and being fed by an angel. Wow, this was really the life.
“Lord Zuko, we must get going.” he looked outside to see lanterns lighting up the empty roads.
“Ah, yes it is quite late.” he sighed and turned to face you again. “Thank you for your hospitality, but i must be on my way. Though i do plan on coming again for blueberry cookies.”
You couldn’t help but smile and Zuko swore his heart skipped a beat.
“They’ll be waiting for you Lord Zuko.” you bow once again before raising and smiling even wider than before. And without even realizing he returned the smile.

tags/warnings: fluff, teensy tiny suggestive remark at the end, not proofread
summary: you're interesting...
a/n: i will get back to requests but i had this idea and boom here we are.
Jason had no idea how he managed to find you, not only because you were the best thing that ever happened to him but also because you were so fucking strange.
He had first met you at a club that Dick and the titans dragged him to, he just wanted to go home but settled for smoking outside. He had been in the alley way with a cigarette between his lips when he heard the door open. Turning towards you Jason saw that you were wearing a pink party city bob wig, a silver glitter bag and heels that you were definitely stumbling in. Yet you were one of the most beautiful women he's ever seen, he would've asked you out himself if you hadn't made your way towards him.
"Hey, you got a lighter?" you asked with a slight slur and hands on your hips.
He nods and holds it up to you, and he thought maybe you'd just light a cig or a blunt but instead you pulled out incense and started waving it over your body.
"Uh what are you doing?"
"Cleansing myself, there was too much bad energy in there." you huff like it was the most obvious thing in the world. Jason just looked at you stunned, what the hell had he gotten himself into?
"So you just carry those things around?"
"Um you don't?"
What kind of question was that?
"Of course i don't"
"Then you must have bad energy, maybe you need one"
He couldn't believe you, with smudged makeup and a pink wig was telling him that he had 'bad energy'. He thought this was some kind of prank Dick set up, or maybe you were just so drunk you didn't realize what he was saying.
"How about this, gimme your number and i'll cleanse ya, m'kay?"
His jaw dropped, what the hell was your motive here? Were you working with someone? Did you figure out who he was? Seeing his shocked expression you rolled your eyes and pulled a pen and notepad from your purse. You scribbled something on it before giving it to Jason.
When he looked down at the paper and saw your number.
"Call me when you're ready to get rid of that negative aura."
And he did. Now you two were dating and have been for eight months. He still couldn't keep up with your strange quirks.
Like right now you were currently sitting on his couch making a Red Hood edit to post on your Red Hood fan account. Yeah as soon as you found out who Jason was at night you became his biggest fan. You had even gotten into a few Twitter arguments just to defend him, which he greatly appreciated.
"How does this one look?" you lift your iPad toward him as the video plays. Honestly it was a pretty good edit, very flattering. The transitions hit at the perfect time and the coloring looked amazing.
"It's great, you made me look hot." he smirks and sits besides you
"I didn't do that, you're hot all on your own Hood."
He's cheesing at the compliment, what a dork.
"Flattery will get you everywhere." he kisses the side of your head as you chuckle at his flushed cheeks.
"Yeah? Then why doesn't this flattery take us to the bedroom." you smirk and drag your finger along his bicep, and of course your incredibly smart boyfriend got the hint. He made his way off the couch picking you up in tow.
a/n: hey so this is kinda doodoo 😭😔 still i hope you guys are happy. thanks so much for all the love on the first one though
pt 2 to this fic
“What?!? Lord Zuko was here yesterday??” your sister grabs your shoulders before groaning “The one day i take off.”
“It wasn’t a big deal.” you shrug but you couldn’t help but remember the way he smiled at you, it made your heart race. But he was probably just being nice, he is the Firelord after all. As your sister went on and on about how great this would be for business you were too busy thinking about what time he’d come. What would he order today? Would he smile again? You couldn’t help but get giddy at the thought. Who knew the Firelord could be this charming? (me i did)
It had been a full day at the bakery and you were about to close, yet still no sign of Firelord Zuko. You couldn’t help but be a little disappointed, although you can’t really blame him. He is the Firelord so he has to be pretty busy. Still you were really hoping to see him today.
After the last customer left you started to clean up and pack everything away. You barely had anything left in the display shelves with how busy today was. Seeing the Firelord enjoy your desserts really helped with business, not like you needed it though. As you were thinking about how much of an amazing business owner you are you hear the door open.
“Sorry we’re about to close-” you paused mid sentence as you turned to see Lord Zuko in his royal attire standing in the doorway with a small grin. “Firelord Zuko, you came”
“I said i would didn’t i?” he walks towards the counter the only thing separating you two now was the cash register. And seeing him after the exhausting ay you had and the way he kept his promise made you smile. Not the cheerful customer service smile but a soft genuine one.
“I apologize for coming so late, i had a lot of meetings today.”
“Of course, it’s not a problem. Though…we don’t have many desserts left.” you look down sheepishly at the basically empty display cases.
“Ah i see, well then i’ll take whatever is left and some Spirit Oasis tea. O-only if it’s not too much trouble.”
You couldn’t help but let out a small snort at the last part. Who knew the Firelord was such a dork?
“No trouble at all.” he smiles and let’s out a sigh of relief.
As you begin brewing the tea Zuko couldn’t help but stare at you, you look quite tired compared to yesterday but also happier. He wished to see you smile so genuinely like that everyday.
“So what brought you to the Fire Nation?” he sat at a table closest to the counter watching you as though you were an angel.
“My sister wanted our bakery to branch out, our cousins opened a spot in Ba Sing Se.” you walked over with a tray of desserts and a teapot with two teacups before sitting opposite him. “She wants us to be more of a franchise than a local bakery.”
“I see, so she’s the owner?”
“Mhm.” you pour the tea into both cups before placing one in front of Zuko.
It smelt divine, he looked down at the tea blew and took a sip. He let out a long ‘ah' in satisfaction. “This is amazing.”
“I’m glad you like it.”
“Might just be better than my uncle’s.” he pauses and points at you. “Don’t tell him that though”
You let out a short laugh and nodded.
“Your secret is safe with me.”
After what felt like hours of talking Zuko turns to look at the clock on the wall and frowns. It was getting late and he had early meetings tomorrow. Gods he wished he didn’t have to leave, he wanted to talk to you more. Get to know you more, maybe even get some of that Spirit Oasis tea to go.
“I’m afraid i must be going.” he stood and smiled at you “But trust me, i will come again.”
“I can’t wait.”
Three weeks this had been going on. Three weeks of desserts and long talks with the Firelord. Since then you had found out so much about him, about his scar, his family and even his adventures with The Avatar. Three weeks of getting to know him and falling in love with him.
Wait…what?
You slapped your face and looked at the oven currently baking five loaves of seaweed bread. No you couldn’t have feelings like that toward the Firelord! He was…well The Firelord! And you were just some commoner from the water tribe trying to bake Kale cookies. You sighed as you thought of his laugh when you told him about childhood stories or how he complimented your hair accessories or how he looked at you in a way that made it impossible to focus on what you were saying. Gods you were so screwed.
Little did you know but Zuko had been feeling the same. For the past three weeks he has grown to fall for you. The way your smile is so wide and bright when you see him, how you make hand gestures when you talked or how you listened to him not because you had to but because you wanted to. He loved it all. He loved you. And he needed to say it.
So that’s why he came in a little earlier today, still close to closing time but enough for you two to talk a little longer. In his hand he squeezed the bouquet of Fire Lilies wrapped with a bow. He was getting nervous, when was the last time he’d asked someone out? What if you said no and stomped on the flowers? What if you were just being nice and he read the signs wrong? What if-
“Lord Zuko?” he looked up to see you holding the door open, a small smile on your face. Why did he feel hot? He was a firebender why does he feel hot? He felt his heart beat double time, gods why was he so nervous? He’s talked to you before!
“H-hi, yes uh- Hi.” way to go Zuko. at least he made you giggle though
“Don’t just stand there, c’mon in.”
He took a deep breathe and walked in. He then remembered what he was holding and held out the flowers to you and he could feel his face turn red. Was h really this pathetic?
“These are for you.”
“O-oh, thank you…” as you took them from him your fingers brushed and your heartbeat started to elevate. Then…
Silence.
Not comfortable. No. This silence was thick and heavy with everything you both wanted to say.
And Zuko? He couldn’t take it.
“I have something to ask you!”
“Of course, Lord Zuko.”
He cleared his throat. It was now or never.
“Wouldyouliketogotodinnerwithme?” he rushed out. His eyes closed preparing for the worst.
“Dinner?” he opens one eye to see you with your mouth hung open. You looked shocked and in all honesty you were. Firelord Zuko was asking you out? Like on a date? Was this another one of your dreams?
“Yes dinner, but if you are opposed to the idea i wouldn’t be upset. I mean it is all sudden and-”
You swiftly cut him off by pressing a peck on his lips. He blinked. Once, twice and then he blushes so much he looks like he has heatstroke.
“I’d love to go to dinner.” you smile and tuck your hair behind your ear. He looked at at you and smiled too. It was so wide his cheeks were hurting. He was so happy, so happy in fact he didn’t realize he leaned closer.
“Really?”
“Really.”
He then pulled you closer , causing you to be so close that his lips were hovering. Your breathes intertwined. You closed your eyes and soon felt his soft lips against yours.
tag/warnings: fluff, pranks? didn't proofread not a surprise
summary: jason plays along with your pranks
a/n: happy april fools! q(≧▽≦q). just wanted to say thanks for all the support i will now switch up on my day ones. jk! u got pranked! (*^▽^*) but seriously thanks for the support! (✿◠‿◠)
It’s April fools, which means you have the perfect excuse to prank your boyfriend or rather just rage bait him through out the day.
The day started pretty alright Jason got out of bed to see you in the kitchen making coffee for you both.He walked up to you before wrapping his arms around you waist and leaning his chin against his shoulder. This was the perfect time to start your first prank.
“Morning Jay, i made you coffee.” you tried to keep a straight face as he took the mug from your hands. You turned to face him as he slowly took a sip. Then his face soured, he spat the coffee out into the sink and glared at you.
“Babe why the hell is there salt in my coffee?”
You burst out laughing, holding onto your stomach while you double over. Jason sighed and stood up straight waiting for your explanation.
“Happy pfft- April Fools Day.” you carry on laughing, in all honesty it was a weak prank but the look on his face when he sipped the coffee was priceless. Jason tried to look mad, annoyed even but he couldn’t help but smile at your giggle fit.
“Oh har har, you got me.” he moved back over to you bringing his hands to your hips.
“You should’ve seen you face! God i wish i took a video.” you hug him as you try to catch your breath. He melted at your touch and pulled you into a closer embrace. He pressed a kiss to your hairline, then your forehead, then your cheek and finally a tiny peck on your lips.
“You’re lucky i love you. Now do i get coffee or not?”
Throughout the day Jason noticed you setting up a few more silly pranks, but instead of ruining your fun he played his part as the clueless boyfriend. You put a whoopie-cushion under his armchair’s pillow? He’ll sit on it. You put toothpaste in Oreos? He’ll eat ‘em. He took part in it all so that he could keep hearing you laugh. He’d be a fool a thousand times more if it meant you’d be happy.
As the sun set and the day finally came to an end, Jason was getting ready for patrol as you got ready for bed. He double check that you didn’t mess with any of his equipment, then made his way to his jacket. In the corner of his eye he could see you peeking out from the bathroom. Ah you must’ve messed with his jacket. He sighed and put it on, huh nothing bad…yet. He then checked his pockets when he felt something plastic. Fake bug.
He pretended to jump before swiftly throwing the plastic bug out of his pocket. A loud chuckle came from behind him. You were doubled over once again, the sound of your laugh brought a soft smile to Jason’s face.
“Seriously babe?” he huffed and looked at you fondly as you tried to catch your breath.
“Sorry for all the pranks Jay, i couldn’t help myself.” you walked closer and took his hand. Swinging both your hands back and forth. He rolled his eyes and kissed your forehead.

'Talkative'
a/n: heyyy! thanks sm for the request and i am so glad you like my writing q(≧▽≦q) i'm sorry if this is kinda ass, i hope you still like it 😔
pairing: firelord!zuko x reader
tags/warnings: not proofread, fluff, kinda ass
“I don’t know if i can do this Zuko.”
Today was a day you had been dreading for weeks. Meeting Gaang for the first time, you had heard of his friends before yes, but due to their busy schedules you hadn’t gotten the chance to meet them. To say you were nervous was an understatement, you were terrified. You’ve always been a quiet person when meeting new people. You were more of a listener in public, observing everyone around you letting the conversation flow without your input. It didn’t really bother you, you had come to terms with it. But whn you had met Zuko, you felt like telling him everything that came to mind. You absolutely loved talking to him, one of your favorite hobbies actually (right next to teasing Zuko). You were just really comfortable with him and as your relationship grew so did your ability to talk his ear off
“C’mon it won’t be bad, they’re good people”
“That’s not what i’m worried about,” you sigh and fiddle with th strings of your robe “i don’t want to embarrass myself in front of your friends, especially the Avatar.”
Zuko’s expression softened as he took your hands in his and gave them a small squeeze
“You won’t embarrass yourself, you’ll do amazing. You are amazing and i won’t be th only on who sees it.” he brings your hands up to his lips and places gentle kisses to your knuckles. You can’t help but relax under his touch, he was probably right. You take a deep breathe and nod. You could do this.
About two hours later Zuko’s friends finally arrive on a flying bison. They weren’t as intimidating as you thought they’d be, in fact they look rather goofy. You felt yourself relaxing even more, maybe it wouldn’t be bad.
“Heyyy Firelord and his lovely lady, i’m Sokka a pleasure to meet you.” Sokka takes your hand as he bows and places a kiss upon your knuckles. You couldn’t help but let out a soft giggle as you quietly introduced yourself.
“Huh you’re kinda quiet, i thought you said she was rambunctious Sparky.” Toph walks up from behind Sokka and crosses her arms. The way she said it non chalantly makes your face light up bright red. What the hell was Zuko telling these people??
“W-what?? I never said that! My love i swear i never said that!” Zuko turns to you with a panicked look. Damn him for looking cute when he’s panicked.
“No he said she was talkative Toph, and that’s not a bad thing unless you’re Sokka.” Katara and Aang are next to walk up beside Sokka.
“Hey i’m right here!” Sokka huffs then crossing his arms sulking slightly. Yeah this bunch was definitely very interesting.
“U-uh i guess i am, sometimes…kinda.” you fiddle with your robes as you avoid making eye contact with anyone. Spirits you felt so awkward right now, you had no idea what else to say. Should you offer them tea? Wait no you have to get inside first! Actually scratch that show them to their rooms first! Your thoughts were interrupted by the Avatar clearing his throught as he turned to look directly at you.
“Well it’s nice to meet you, thank you for having us” Aang announced with a small bow making the tension in your shoulders eased out and you smiled softly.
“It’s nice to meet you guys too, it’s an honor to have you with us.”
After a about an half an hour of small talk you were slowly starting to get comfortable around the group, still squeezing Zuko’s hand for reassurance but also adding a few words to the conversation. You felt at ease watching Zuko smile and laugh with his old friends, sure you had seen him happy but this was different, nostalgic. You were happy he was able to have them to go to before he met you.
“So Firelady, got any funny stories about your husband?” Sokka wiggles his eyebrows as the others laugh.
“Oh i wanna hear this.” Katara leans back in her seat as she eyes you curiously waiting to see what juicy secrets you have. But your precious husband can’t help but groan because he knows, this is your favorite topic of discussion.
“Well i do have a few…”
And so the rest of the night was spent exchanging stories and laughter. And you had seemingly forgotten why you had been so nervous in the first place.
summary: you thought it would be a good idea to dress jason up as the easter bunny
a/n: i know this is really late but i just got the idea from Kiyomi's (suni's mom) recent easter vlog and yes i immediately wrote this after watching it don't judge me
Jason never thought this would be his life, his wife sitting across from him at eight in the morning painting his face while his beautiful daughter was sleeping in her room. You had the brilliant idea to dress him up as the Easter Bunny to surprise your daughter. Jason knew it was important to create childhood magic or whatever but he didn't know about this.
You started with smearing white face paint all over his face then pink on his nose along with black eyeliner whiskers.
“Y’know i love Lizzy, but i feel like i look more scary than cute.” he stares at himself in the bathroom mirror looking more like a clown than a bunny.
“Shut up she’s three she won’t know the difference” you put the bunny ears on top of his head, stepping back to look at your work you couldn’t help but laugh. Your husband, Jason Todd, Red Hood who came crawling back from the dead was dressed like the freaking Easter Bunny.
‘It’s not funny, she’s gonna be traumatized”
“Just hop around and she’ll be fine.” you then ushered him outside in the backyard to go handle hiding the eggs. He huffed in response and just walked out muttering something about a ‘scary ass bunny’.
Not long after Jason had left to go outside, your beautiful daughter Lizzy walks out of her room, her dark curly hair messed up. She rubbed her eyes before resting her head against your legs.
“Morning Lizzy, Happy Easter!” you said cheerfully and clearly too loud for your poor baby because she immediately shushed you after the words left your mouth. Her tiny finger against her lip as she shook her head. “Mama shhh, too loud”
“Right of course.” you whispered before grabbing a pink straw basket from the counter and handing it to her. “Y’know the Easter bunny came, and he left you presents.”
“Santa leaves presents not the Easter Bunny.”
“I meant eggs sweetheart”
“Chickens lay eggs mama not bunnies”
“Yeah yeah, let’s just go hunt for eggs before the bunny gets bored.”
As you two ventured out into the backyard you daughter is greeted with a trail of eggs leading deeper into the backyard. Her face lightened up at the sight as she started picking up the little eggs giggling along the way. She seemed to be enjoying her time until she saw a giant figure in the bushes. You follow her gaze to see Jason’s white painted face peeking out from the bushes. If you hadn’t know any better you would’ve thought this was the Joker lurking in your backyard. It was one of the most terrifying things you’ve ever seen but you couldn’t help but laugh. Lizzy however was not amused and hid behind you legs for comfort.
“C’mon Lizzy you gotta get all the eggs.”
“No”
“Lizzy don’t you wanna go meet the Easter Bunny?”
“No”
You looked back at Jason and mouthed ‘she’s scared’ and Jason thought that it would be an amazing idea to jump out of the bush hands out a large smile on his face.
“Happy Easter Lizzy!” he exclaimed with a weird cheery voice.
Again, Lizzy didn’t like this so she started bawling, tears falling down her face. Jason froze looking between the two of you. You quickly picked her up trying to shush her gently. Jason’s smile was completely gone as he moved toward you two trying to reassure Lizzy.
“Hey, hey, hey it’s just me. It’s daddy” he tried to wipe the paint off his face while Lizzy sobs into your shoulder.
“Lizzy look it’s just daddy.” you tried to make her look at Jason but she stayed buried in our shoulder.
Yeah this was not a good idea.
bonus
After many chocolate eggs and soothing words you finally got Lizzy to calm down. Now Jason was sitting with her on the couch playing with the stuffed bunny you had gotten her along with the candy eggs.
