Hey! Your icon is my fanart for Another Brother by AvocadoLove from 2011, neat! It was wild to encounter that on my dash. Would you mind crediting me, @flurrin-art? Thank you!

There was a post I made on the blog that did credit you, albeit, your Deviantart account, but I can put credit in the pinned

[ask-the-zukos]

Was bored, and decided, “Hey, since the ask box is already empty, why not start it back up again”. Same rules as the pinned comment. Just wanted to let anyone who even remotely cares about this blog to get an update

[ask-the-zukos]

C zuko, what happened to the 41st division after your angi kai? I've been so curious about what happened to them after the storm episode.

C looks downfallen then sighs in defeat.

C: If you really want to know, shortly after I was banished, I found out that the entire division had been slaughtered. As in, literally no one ended up surviving against the Earth Kingdom's attack, just like I told the general. But that's what I get for trying to do what I think is right.

[ask-the-zukos]

How do you feel about your grandson in-law burning half of your great grandsons face off? Zuko was only trying to save a division of new recruits from slaughter.

Roku and AB!Zuko: WHAT?!!!!

AB: That's why your father bansihed you and sent you on a wild goose-duck chase?!

C: Hey, I have found the Avatar, my mission is not pointless!

AB: Yeah, but it's not like Ozai knew the Avatar was still around at the time!

C: Uh, Water Tribe...

AB: What?!!

C points over AB's shoulder, his arm shaking and face clearly unnerved

C: You might want to look behind you.

AB turns around to see Roku lifting off the ground, eyes glowing, clearly showing he's now in the Avatar State.

Roku (with the Voice of The Legion): HOW DARE HE! HOW DARE THAT MAN HARM HIS OWN FLESH AND BLOOD!! HIS OWN CHILD WHO ONLY DESIRED TO PROTECT HIS FELLOW COUNTRYMEN?!! WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON HIM I SWEAR TO AGNI HIMSELF THAT I WILL......

Suddenly Roku poofs out of existence. The Zukos have been holding onto to each other in terror this whole time. After he poofs, they immediately let go of each other and awkwardly stare.

AB: Soooo......

C: Can we save that conversation for another time?

AB: (Sigh) Alright. But don't think you can weasel-snake your way out of this forever.

C: Duly noted.

[ask-the-zukos]

Was Ursa born before you were betrayed by sozin?

Roku: No, but Rina did mention if she ever had a daughter that she would love the name Ursa.

Mun notes: I did a quick overview of Roku's wiki for this question. Rina is the name of Roku's daughter and she gave birth to Ursa in 64 AG, loooong after Roku's death

[ask-the-zukos]

For all what's your view on the hundred year war?

Roku: I knew Sozin was crazy, but actually starting a war that would last for a full century?! I...I need to sit down

Both Zukos: I don't know what you expect from us.

AB: This war is..

C: All we've ever known.

AB: So really..

Both: What's the point?

Roku: You sure you're not from the same world?

Both: YES!!!!

[ask-the-zukos]

What's your view on sozin, Roku? In way I guess AB zuko and C zuko are brothers.

Roku: Sozin is a fool who cares only about what HE thinks is best rather than what truly matters. I can only hope the madness will end before he starts a war. And what do you mean by "In a Way" they are brothers? Either they are or they are not.

C: He is certainly not my brother. He is from a different world, one where he grew up in the Southern Water Tribe instead of with his true family

AB: Given what I've seen of the royal family, I'll take my chances with the people who haven't tried to kidnap/kill me.

[ask-the-zukos]

What do you think about your great grandsons Roku?

Roku: These two are descended from me? Well I can certainly say they are not what I expected

AB: I can certainly agree with you

Roku: By the way, why do you dress in Water Tribe Garb unlike your brother?

AB: MY WHAT?!!!

[ask-the-zukos]

Magic! Anon. Teleports/time travels avatar Roku to both of them to cause some shenanigans.

Roku appears in the garden. Both Zukos are playing with the turtleducks. They notice Roku and both parties stare at each other.

Roku: Well, this is unexpected

Mun: This M!A will last for 5 asks. Choose your questions wisely

[ask-the-zukos]

How would you feel if you were the Avatar? AB zuko and C zuko

Both Zukos cross their arms in an x position

AB and C: NO WAY!

C: Being the Avatar is basically begging to put a target on my back

AB: And I already have enough trouble with my own element. Dealing with all four? Noooo thank you.

[ask-the-zukos]

Same F! anon here. "The answer to your first question is because us readers/anons have not only the Avatar last Airbender book 1-3 but also another brother fic is free for anyone. Btw both of you are great grandsons of avatar Roku. Oh and sokka found out who his spirit guide is on the winter solstice. Ya know when he was stolen by hei bei. How do you feel about fanfics in general both of you?"

AB stares and then blinks a couple times in confusion

AB: I have no idea what any of that means, and frankly, I'm not sure I want to.

C: Wait.., what was that about Avatar Roku?!

AB: Apparently, we're both descendants of Aang's predecessor. I don't know how I feel about that.

AB: Oh, and I wanted to ask you, the anon mentioned something about a dead cousin being Sokka, the water tribe boy's spirit guide. Do you have any idea who that might be?

C: The only person I can think of is Lu Ten, Uncle Iroh's only child. Why would he, or his spirit rather, be involved with the likes of HIM?

AB: Your guess is as good as mine.

AB: As for your last question, if by fanfics, you mean other stories about us, they are undoubtedly interesting, and I can safely say that I never would have imagined most of these ideas in a million years.

C: Honestly, I agree.

[ask-the-zukos]

Same F!anon here (internally screaming with excitement.) "Hama is the first bloodbender. Also what questions do you have AB zuko? I've only read to where your dead cousin is sokkas spirit guide." Gives both of them jasmine bubble tea. "I've tried it it's delicious.

C: Bloodbending? Sounds fake, but that would be pretty horrifying. Waterbenders are already a struggle, so having one that could bend my blood would be even worse.

Both Zukos the tea provided for them

C: Huh, this is actually pretty good. Not as good as Uncle's mind you, but still good

AB: Yeah, you're right.

AB: Now onto my questions

AB: One, how do these people know so much about me and the others? Two, this also implies that Iroh is right and I am the grandson of the Fire Lord. And what the heck is that with my dead cousin being involved with my brother?! Sokka is definitely not the type to be involved in spiritual matters, not willingly anyway.

[ask-the-zukos]

F!anon here Slaps the another brother fic and the salvage fic on table. "Read these beauties. I've already bookmarked at least the salvage fic but I also got one where hama is Zukos mom too." Kisses both Zukos on their respective burn scar. "I may or may not have a crush on one or both of you. Also how many fics have you? AB and C zuko."

C!Zuko and AB!Zuko put one of their hands on their respective scars with a puzzled look on their face

AB: You have any idea what that was about?

C: No clue. Might as well read what was left for us

AB: Sure, why not?

After AB reads his fic and C reads Salvage

AB: I. have. so many. thoughts. and questions. So I'm just gonna sit under this tree for a little bit, kay?

C: This is certainly something. Wait. Who the heck is Hama?

[ask-the-zukos]

Well, either of you boys commit any ✨crimes✨ before you got,,, here?

AB: Ask him! 

(points to C!Zuko)

AB: He’s probably committed more than a few war crimes, y’know, torturing woman and children, burning down villages..

C: Hey! That village was a one-time thing! And I certainly have the honor to not harm women and children civilians. 

AB: No offense dude, but taking advice about honor from the Fire Nation, is like taking advice about originality from Koh the Face Stealer

[ask-the-zukos]

Twenty bucks monopoly puts it down to somewhere in the spirit realm. Have either of you tried dancing?

(Both Zukos look at the audience, then each other)

C: Do you know what they’re talking about?

AB: No idea. As for the dancing question, I don’t do much of it, but I would sometimes participate in tribal dances whenever I could. It was always a lot of fun

C: Why would the Prince of the Fire Nation ever dance? It would be unprofessional for royalty to behave in such a manner!

AB: Tui and La, does the Fire Nation just hate fun?!Cause that’s what I’ve been hearing the entire time I’ve been here.

[ask-the-zukos]

Well, boys, any prevailing theories about where you are?

AB: I mentioned this in a prior ask, but the only reasonable explanation either of us could come up with is that we are in some strange corner of the Spirit World. 

C: It explains not only the purple sky, but also the fact that this place resembles places from both our youths. For me it’s the palace gardens

AB: And outside that are the icy tundras, where I have lived since I could remember. 

C: But you know...

AB: The weirdest thing...

C: About of all this...

AB: Is that...

Both: We don’t remember how we got here

[ask-the-zukos]

M!a to place a baby turtleduck on AB’s lap.

AB: Awww. Hi there, lil fella. 

(Strokes its head with his finger)

AB: I can see why the Prince likes you guys so much. You guys are adorable.

AB: You anons have been pretty nice as of late. Sigh, I know how this works though. The moment things start to get comfortable, the universe has to pull the rug from under me. 

C: I believe that would be my line.

AB: And there you have it. 

C: You know how much I have had to struggle to even attempt to match my sister, and that struggle has made me stronger. 

AB: I can definitely agree about struggling making one stronger. I had to struggle to be accepted by the Southern Water Tribe, and I became much stronger for it

C: It’s nice to know there are at least a few things we can agree on. 

AB: Like turtleducks!

C: Like turtleducks.
