Just saw this on twt and ugh my heart 😣❤❤❤❤❤
Au where Zuko decides to just fck it and goes on to live a simple life with Uncle Iroh early. He ends up joining gaang years later bc it's fated in the stars, they win the war and if he chooses to become Fire Lord, he still makes time to sneak out and help uncle with their tea, Gaang as loyal customers, while everyone panicks bc their leader keeps disappearing.
Ofc he's made contingency plans if something important pops up while he's not around, but nothing outside of an invasion, uprising, or the birth of a new maniac with delusions of grandeur is stopping him from revisiting his tea shop life bc it's probably one of the few good memories he has, outside of his mother, pre- Gaang timeline.
