#Tea Zuko AU

[petricorah]

I love "i would kill for you" ship dynamics but what about "i would stop killing" ship dynamic??

I would lay down my sword for you. I would change my nature and go against everything i've known. I would resist the easy way out of solving my problems. I would give up the adrenaline of battle to stay by your side and make tea instead. I'm not sure I know who I am without a weapon in my hand because I've had to fight for so long but for you I'm willing to try and figure this out.

It must be hard. To put down your weapon that's protected you for so long. It's allowed you to stay alive it's kept you from getting hurt--physically and mentally. Because you've never had to worry about a real relationship if you think you'll be dead at the next battle. And you feel naked without it and it feels like you're ripping off an extension of yourself. Are you even whole without it? Are you worthy of being loved if you can't prove it by risking your life? And yet they've found someone who's asking them for something much harder than dying in battle on their behalf. They've found someone who wants them to live. And that's much more terrifying.

Zutara Month 2024: Day 1- Reluctant Allies

What if Katara when into the tea shop instead of running?

[were-wolverine]

zukka modern au where The Jasmine Dragon is a boba tea shop

one day sokka is dragged there by aang and toph (even though he hates boba), and he sees zuko working there and ends up with a massive crush on him. so, he keeps coming back to talk to zuko but has to order smth every time so he just suffers through drinking the boba until he gets the guts to ask zuko out

zuko later finds out about his dislike for boba and laughs in his face because “we have other types of tea on the menu, bubble tea is just the most popular”

Lu Ten lives au where the resident gay cousin tries to cheer up Zuko by saying that scars on men are SUPER attractive, he would know, only for Azula to cut in and point out every man he's dated has left his ass so maybe he doesn't know what's attractive on men.

ATLA in Thai high school au

Iroh opened a boba tea shop near the school with Suki and Sokka, who just had gotten together, as his regular customers. While Zuko, his nephew, just wanted to read manga in peace.

(no scar! zuko but he got very poor eyesights instead 😔)

Maiko Week Day 5: rivals

I know I'm super late; exams just got over and I sort of scribbled this. Honestly should post it over at the junkyard.

[purrincesskittens]

Random funny thought while at work. Inspired by and kind of a alternate ending for Salvage by @muffinlance if there was an additional ending that aligned kind of with canon events.

...................................

Aang takes away Ozai’s bending

Hakoda decides not to take any chances with a incarcerated Ozai and take some revenge at the same time.

Healer Kustaa: he died of his injuries

Zuko: What injuries?!! He was fine when he was locked in that cell and no one has visited him since!!

Healer Kustaa: he died of self inflicted injuries

Ozai’s guards who may or may not have been former sailors on the Wanyi saw and heard absolutely nothing they swear. Totally didn't see their Prince's water dad kill the former fire lord no sir did not see or hear nothing suspicious at all.

As she watches Lee and Kya avoid each other's eyes from across the room, the phrase comes back to her, swift and silent:

"To hesitate is to lose."

.

As Song treats the victim of an unfortunate interaction with a rare poisonous flower, her day takes an unexpected turn when it becomes apparent that the old man's nephew and her assistant have history.

A vivid history.

Modern AU Gaang Caffeine Headcanons !!!! ☕👀

Zuko:

As a teenager, he lived on energy drinks. 5 hour energy, Monster, coffee, whatever he could get, he took. It kept up in college, and got worse than middle school during a hard month. He once took an engineering lecture and it got his brain thinking, so he bought some bendy straws and four Monsters, then taped the straws together and moved them until he could take a sip from all four cans at once. Needless to say, he’s an addict, even if he won’t admit it. Tea isn’t really his favourite, but his uncle loves it, so he used to drink it a lot when he worked in the back at the Jasmine Dragon. He’s horrible at making it though.

Toph:

She’s got so much energy naturally that she doesn’t need caffeine, though she drank a mug of black coffee for a dollar once just because Aang was so surprised that she liked the bitterness. She prefers to have tea, and used to go to a little cafe until it was shut down, so she semi-successfully taught herself to brew tea. When she was in middle and high school, she’d take recycled energy drink cans and fill them with dyed sparkling water and sell them to kids.

Sokka:

Caffeine kills him. It only makes him more tired, to his dismay, so he stays away because there’s not much point. Once every six or so months, he says, “this is the time when I finally get energised from coffee,” and drinks a cup. It never works.

Katara:

Unlike Sokka, coffee doesn’t make her tired, but it doesn’t help her much. Perhaps a little buzz. But her father makes a cup of coffee every morning, and as she got older, she preferred to wake up early to drink with him. It became a morning ritual.

Aang:

No matter how much milk or sugar is added, coffee is too bitter for him. If he’s handed a mug, he’ll drink it out of politeness, but he never makes it on his own. For a while, he was one of those, “you shouldn’t drink it! It’s unnatural, so it’s not good for you,” people, until he and Zuko became friends and the amount of glares he got from him was enough to make him stop.

The possible hilarity of Jet and Zuko having parallel domestication arcs in Ba Sing Se. Just Iroh trying to teach an ex-prince who lived the last few months in the middle of nowhere and a guy who's spent his entire life breaking the law to help people while raising 20 kids in the woods to be normal citizens™
