They are both too hot to not ship them.
If you like this pairing too, check out "A Deal With The Devil" by WenchicusThoticus. It is painful, emotional and hard.
I may not know much but I know Ozai's long, soft, silky hair is universally beloved and worshipped by his partners across every fathomable ship. They comb their fingers through it, bury their faces in it, pull on it, braid it, do a double take when they catch its scent when Ozai passes them by...
I tried…. Hakozai is an interesting couple for me. Haha, they weren't even shown in the same frame. (if anything, Ozai tries to fight someone again, and Hakoda stops him.)
His performance in the war impressed me enough to bother to learn his name.
I even offered to spare all his people if they agreed to become a Fire Nation colony voluntarily, but he replied with words that I cannot repeat without being censored on this place called Tumblr, and I actually like this Tumblr thing (there are a lot of people like me , who know that Zuko has as many braincells as an 'awkward turtleduck'). Let's just say I was benevolent and sent him to the Boiling Rock instead of incinerate him after what he said to me.
Chief Hakoda is a result of my father's poor strategic war policies. When I was born, attacks on the Southern Water Tribe were not as frequent anymore for two reasons: first, because the army had already captured all the waterbenders (and Iroh spent the next twenty years studying them in the dungeons, convinced that he could learn something from their techniques, you know, like a moron) and the second because the one who ordered the attacks on the Southern Water Tribe was my mother, Firelady Ilah, who sadly died on the day of my birth, as my father often reminded me.
These factors made possible the existence of men like Hakoda. In short, it's my parents' fault for not ordering all the acceptably intelligent youngsters to be taken away along with the waterbenders. In an ideal world, he would have been my servant. That would have been interesting.
