You know how Zuko and Azula were overhearing Ozai asking Azulon for Iroh's birthright and Zuko ran away before he could hear the rest of it? Well, what if didn't but stayed to hear Ozai's punishment and as a result ran away in fear. Basically it would like how Aang reacted when he overheard the monks planning to send him away except that Zuko would be even more scared. Anyway what do you think could happen? Like it would be a dark story of survival, hiding and secrecy for Zuko as he would probably have to stow away on ship to the Earth kingdom and be on the run from the fire nation. Maybe he could meet the gang while there and join them and Azulon might still alive at the time and Ursa and Iroh would probably do everything they can to find Zuko.

All I can think about is a 9 year-old Toph finding 13 year-old Zuko hiding in a cave and the unusual friendship that ensues.

#that's not true I also thought about Hakoda finding Zuko in open sea #after Zuko is discovered but not recognized by FN soldiers on a ship #not that their immediate reaction is to throw the child off the ship #but Zuko believes his odds of survival are higher far away from FN soldiers #even though that means jumping into the ocean #anyways #if you'd like that version #it's pretty close to salvage by muffinlance #I might just start writing fanfiction at this point #Zuko befriending Toph three years prior to the events of atla book 1 is just #something I can't stop thinking about now #Zuko being siblings with Azula #does not underestimate little girls #Toph likes this #It's the first time she befriends someone #and it's Zuko's way out of hiding in the wilderness
