Okay but here’s my proposal: It sure is lucky that Zuko found the Avatar when he did, like three years is a long time, but compared to the 100 years he’s been frozen it’s a pretty short time. Sooooo what if it took longer, like 10+ years before the events of the show take place. The rest of the stuff with other characters is the same it’s just Zuko kinda aged up. Zuko’s now an adult, and maybe over the years had some of the realizations he had over the course of the show about his father (1/3)
and the fire nation. He’s still out and about with uncle Iroh and the crew but he’s more helping out people while “looking for the Avatar”. Maybe he’s been secretly providing aid to the southern water tribe, he’s got a rapport with Hakkoda though WOW did that not start off well, but these days thsng are chill. When uuuuh oops we found the Avatar. Idk if Katara and Sokka are also aged up are shut the same, and or if they still find Aang or Zuko just like (2/3)
*oops rams into iceberg that is actually the Avatar*. From there idk Zuko’s a mature actual mentor and friend to Aang. Also the crew he has was already the “worst” that Ozai sent out and don’t want so when Zuko decides to full on become a bit of a traitor they are DOWN, especially Lt. Jee because you KNOW Zuko and him are getting together. (3/3)
Well, this fic sounds like it would be pretty cool, I don’t think I’ll be able to write it. I’ve never written a Lt. Jee / Zuko fic before. Plus to do this fic right it would have to be a multi-chapter fic. I have a least 13 multi-chapters I am already going to be doing once my main two are done.
But if anyone else wants to write this they are free to do so. Just make sure to @tedious-waffle so that way they can read it when yah do. : )
