A while ago I was invited to contribute to the Form the Ashes ATLA fan Zine for @recovery-zine!

I got to illustrate this double spread! (which was terrifying, thank you) Pretty sure this is where the thought "Jee survived the north" began to form for me! The theme was about the war ending, peace settling and people getting to come home and reunite with loved ones.

best worst family

:)

[demaparbat-hp]

The Crew is boisterous and loud, full of traitors, inside jokes, and secrets. The scum of the Fire Nation. The forgotten tiles on the Empire's Pai Sho board. The ones who change the game.

But most importantly—they're a family. And no matter how much they complain about their boss (teenage menace that he is), they'll do anything for their Prince.

Anything.

.

The Crew is the heart and soul of my fic For the Spirits. No one really knows just how important they will be to the story...how important they already are.

I need a Zukka arranged marriage AU where Sokka is grumpy about his impending arranged marriage and even more annoyed when the Fire Nation sends over a whole bunch of scrolls on proper courting practices and etiquette, because fuck if he’s reading all of that.

But then Zuko arrives and Sokka has an, “Oh, no, he’s hot,” moment. And even though he tries to remain aloof and act like he’s totally not into Zuko, he’s kind of intrigued by Zuko and also feels kind of protective of Zuko when Zuko doesn’t know basic information that even the youngest kid in the Water Tribe is aware is essential for survival. And like, Zuko seeks him out at meals to sit by him but also tries to give him space, and even if he is a bit stuffy and addicted to rules and etiquette. But he’s polite to Gran-Gran and to Sokka’s dad, and even tries to be nice to Katara, who’s even more skeptical of this arranged marriage than Sokka himself.

And like, one thing that’s really weird is that Zuko keeps giving Sokka gifts? Like, he gives Sokka spices from the Fire Nation, he gives Sokka a sword when he learns Sokka is interested in learning how to fight with one, etc. And he thinks this is nice and all, but he never really knows of anything to give Zuko in return. But hey, maybe the constant gifts are a weird Fire Nation way of showing affection?

But soon Zuko starts acting weird and distant, and Sokka can tell he’s stressed and he looks super tired and upset, and Sokka can’t get him to talk to him no matter what he tries. And Sokka is suddenly very worried for this other boy who he wouldn’t have cared about a few weeks ago but who seems so sad now.

So finally—FINALLY—Lt. Jee, who’s been watching this all go down with an unimpressed scowl on his face, basically tells Sokka that all those gifts from Zuko? Yeah, those are courting gifts, and by accepting them, Sokka showed that he’s considering Zuko as a suitor. But since he never reciprocated and gave Zuko anything return, the marriage can’t go through. And if Sokka doesn’t accept, Zuko will have to return to the Fire Nation in disgrace and Ozai would consider him a complete failure. And BTW, if Sokka had just READ THE SCROLLS that the Fire Nation sent over, Sokka would know this. (Lt. Jee is so done with this dude who thinks he can play games with his beloved Fire Prince’s heart. Not while Jee’s around.)

So IDK how this ends, but Sokka should be at least optimistic about his future with Zuko, and Zuko should be shyly pleased that his intended appreciated his efforts all along, yay. And also, Hakoda should find out about what a scummy dad Ozai is and adopt Zuko. Jee is happy his boy gets to be happy. Please reblog if you have other ideas/anything to add!

Towards the Sun, Chapter 47: How to Kill Your Fire Prince, A Guide By Lt Jee and the Crew of the Wanyi, Not That They’d Ever Thought About It

This is a very cathartic chapter for exactly one person

Latest chapter || Read from the beginning

Story Summary:

Zuko botches his escape on the day of the eclipse and sits out the war in prison. What will the Gaang do with a new Fire Lord they can't trust? Season Four "Zuko never joined the Gaang, and he's really bad at being good" AU. Featuring Azula's extended field trip, Jun not signing up for this, and Sokka's increasing desire to scream. Come get your international politics with a side of baby dragons.

[bluespiritshonour]

Saw a character sheet of a screaming kid and it reminded me of Zuko.

[macabr8y]

“I always thought you were like a star,” Zuko whispered around a vicious, aching pain that pounded through his bones and teeth. The cold would have him soon, the ice was already healing around him, but he needed Sokka to know. “You don’t need stars to love you back.”

We're back, baby! The last chapter of The Light Prince is here and it's got everything: Gods, curses, hypothermia, stars (real and metaphorical), stunning art by @drowthelynes, and it's got a happy ending to boot.

If you like fairy tales and Zukka, check out The Light Prince today!

Things that definitely happened Post-War in ATLA a.k.a. assorted headcanons that really boil down to "wouldn't it be neat/funny if...":

Zuko fought an inordinate amount of Agni Kais, to the point that some of the junior officials ended up thinking that it's custom to fight the Fire Lord every once in a while. He was notable for both never losing, and never seriously injuring his opponent.

Aang and Katara helped with the reformation of Ba Sing Se. They became friends with Joo Dee. Katara helped her regain her own memories, and her own name. Some of the women formerly known as 'Joo Dee' formed a theatre troupe, which produced highly subversive counterculture plays. Their anti-authoritarian nonconformist plays became a huge cultural movement, though they did face a fair amount of criticism from the more traditional groups. Aang loved them, and the patronage of the Avatar definitely helped them grow. They also produced a play on the history of the Air Nomads, at the request of Aang. Aang, of course, helped write it.

Sokka once hit his thumb with a hammer. This led to the invention of the nail gun, powered by pressurized air. Aang spent over four days bending air into canisters and pressurizing them. The invention never saw widespread use. The day after it was complete, Sokka drove a nail through his thumb.

That one old guy who ratted out Haru for being an earthbender stubbed his toe every single day for the rest of his life.

Lieutenant Jee resigned his commission. He requested that Zuko accept his resignation in person, and Zuko was happy to oblige. The moment his resignation was official, he went on a 45-minute tirade attacking the Fire Lord, which was never written down in its' entirety, but was described as "extremely vulgar, even for a sailor" by attendees, and mostly had to do with their time on Zuko's ship.

Toph actually ended up having a great relationship with her mom after a long and harrowing process. She competed in a couple more Earth Rumbles, and her mother was in the audience, cheering. She never really got along with her father, after the whole "hire two guys to kidnap her by any means necessary"-thing.

Momo started several diplomatic incidents. Future historians would forever puzzled by the many mentions of this mysterious 'Momo' in official documents, with the theory that Momo was the Avatar's pet being dismissed by the leading historians. Clearly, Momo was some sort of rebel leader - perhaps a Water Tribe extremist?

Dead Mai AU part 2 [part 1]

Today I even come with a little fluff before angst!

[coffeepaintwater]

pirate zuko, bc i'm re-reading "Honor & Vengeance On The High Seas".

notttt:

two fully rendered pieces posted in a row, had to throw in a fuck ass sketch. i love sailor!zuko, whether it's pirate or regular sea farer. i'm always so sad thinking of his crew because on one hand, i would hate the little fucker too, because he was insufferable, but on the other, zuko wasn't a bad leader. i was making an edit the other day and so i was rewatching the last episode and the speech he gives before being crowned? the "media" training had been DONE. the only thing stopping him from being an actually tolerable captain was the task he was appointed, because he put it above the safety and comfort of everyone, including himself. and others, obviously, didn't (and good for them lol).

anyways, i have NO idea what is he wearing as a belt, i just really needed something to bring the design together. i think that pirate zuko would ditch the fire nation armor for convenience to get easier access to wares in ports (and because THAT SHIT IS HEAVY, one man overboard and he sinks like a rock), but only if he found a replacement cheap and fast. because while i like the idea of him completely rejecting the "evil bad fire nation" by throwing all his related stuff away, zuko was actually deeply connected to his nation and condemned the ideals by which it was lead, not his people. so i don't think he would try to erase his connections to it. also, no speed running the character development, or cutting his hair until something drastic happens (like them becoming fugitives in canon). and since most character development of zuko was in reaction to the things happening around him (until his confrontation with ozai), i think it would be very gradual and slow-going, were it to happen at sea, on his ship.

i know a lot of the fandom head-canons the crew as out-casts of the fire nation, but i don't think we ever get a confirmation of that in canon. so, we can assume they all more or less share the ideals the fire nation spreads, obviously on a tamer level, since like most foot-soldiers in wars they probably aren't fanatics. zuko wouldn't really get any wake-up calls from them (or iroh? that's a tough one) in regards to the war. to ozai and his treatment of him?? maybe, but that would require the crew to talk to a prince about his fire lord-father. pirate zuko would probably also never actually call himself a pirate either lmao

[demaparbat-hp]

Thinking of how a birthday party on the ship with the 41st would look like 🧐?

This is why they never get anything done.

Aang: We need to distract these guys Sokka: Leave it to me Sokka: Centaurs have six limbs and are therefore insects. Discuss. Zuko, Lieutenant Jee, and June: *Immediately begin arguing* Iroh, watching in horror: Oh this. I don’t like this. I don't like this at all.
