various doodles of cousin lu ten with his babies
#i was originally gonna keep the last one separate but since i drew the one of baby zuko i thought id just throw them all together#i thought it was SO funny that baby zuko had a tiny little ponytail. i love when babies have tiny ponytails that stick straight up...#baby zuko was stressing everyone out by dragged off by palace pygmy pumas and baby azula was stressing everyone out by biting everyone#(mostly her uncle though)#she didnt get her rabies shot thats why she acts like that :/#lu ten#azula#zuko#atla#avatar the last airbender#alicias art

rest [ sokka x reader ]
a/n — i kinda hate this LOL but i have not written for a while and needed to just do a little blurb to get me back into it. open to requests !!
⋆｡ﾟ☁︎｡⋆｡ ﾟ☾ ﾟ｡⋆
the night was unusually still, the cold and pitch black seemingly freezing time. my friends slept, peacefully, huddled together against appa’s warmth. i rarely slept that well, rarely slept at all.
i sighed, pushing myself off the ground and letting my legs carry me into the forest. i stopped when i hit the small clearing that overlooked the cliff side, my eyes lazily scanning the scenery. i folded my legs beneath me, sinking into the earth with a deep exhale.
a shadow flitted across the valley before me. i scrambled to my feet, instinctively striking a defensive pose. these days, the enemy was always a step ahead of us; nowhere was safe.
my nerves settled as the bird dove into the canyons, out of eye shot. a bird! i mentally berated myself for letting the harmless creature frighten me, letting it catch me off guard.
“y/n?” i flipped around, pulling an arrow from the quiver that rested across my chest and loading my bow in one fluent motion, aiming at my new target.
sokka’s hands flew up in surrender, eyes wide.
“it’s me! it’s just me,” he called out as i lowered my weapon, doing a 360. someone, something was watching. i knew it.
he stepped towards me cautiously, blue eyes gentle as he pulled the weapon from my grip.
“y/n, i think you need some sleep,” he said, eyes scanning me carefully. i stared at him, scoffing.
my words were quick, jumbled and frantic as they tumbled from my lips. “i can’t, sokka, someone needs to stay on watch!”
“shh,” he whispered as he moved closer to me, slowly wrapping his arms around me. “i’ll stay on watch. you need to rest, you’re exhausted.”
i deflated, his words triggering the tiredness that washed over me. he held me tight against him as we made our way back to the camp, where everyone was still sleeping soundly.
i collapsed against appa as soon as we returned, sokka following not long after me. he pulled his blanket around us, arms snaking around my waist again, eyes awake and alert.
“i’m not going anywhere,” he whispered into my temple, hands slowly combing through my hair. “you’re safe. get some rest.”
my eyes fluttered closed, and, slowly but surely, sleep found me

zukka hc for the masses:
every time zuko’s in an angst/rage funk sokka makes a point to say the most unhinged sentence that instantly knocks him right out of it. just one hit KO’s him. and it either gets the most “i cahn’t believe you done this” glare or else surprise cackling from zuko and zuko hates it so much because it works every. single. time. case in point:
zuko: *is sobbing*
sokka: .....so are you like. legit sad?

Red Breath
Summary: Azula has been hiding that she has tuberculosis. Her secret comes out during the last Agni Kai.
For @the-mariachi-96 based on this post.
There is red on her pillow.
There is red on the cloth in her pocket.
She tries not to dwell too much upon it.
Today is her special day.
The mirror has no mercy.
No sympathy nor compassion.
It is a cold thing, and—had it a voice—it would speak clinically. Forward. Direct. Brutal.
In its own way it does have a voice and it speaks through images it reveals and the inner monologue that it inspires from the looker. Sometimes it is pleasant, mostly it is mundane and indifferent. These days it has been cruel; it shows Azula that she has been deteriorating steadily and rapidly.
That something that was already well out of her control has spiraled much further beyond it. Either her skin has grown sallow or the palace’s warm lighting is making her complexion look more sickly than it truly is. For certain she has grown thinner, her robes had always fit rather large on her frame for comfort’s sake. Now they are too baggy for comfort. Sleep and illness have put bags under her eyes too.
She touches her fingers to her cheek, the texture of her skin is not quite right, but that could be because she hasn’t been drinking enough. Her cheekbones are more prominent beneath her fingers.
She wants to blame Mai and TyLee.
If they hadn’t chosen Zuzu…
If they hadn’t left…
Since finding out, they have always kept her fed and comfortable.
She grits her teeth. It is her own fault for letting them care for her instead of learning to care for herself by herself.
Even if they were there to feed her, she probably wouldn’t want to eat anyhow. The sickness is getting worse and it is stealing her appetite, her comfort, her strength, her motivation, and, most pressingly, her future.
Her well kept secret is finally unraveling and she is glad that father isn’t around to witness it, that nobody is around to see it, she had made certain of that. And she starts to wonder…
She is always wondering, speculating, or overthinking about something or another.
This time she ponders exactly what is to blame for her fraying mind, the fog within it, and the things that it shows her—the things that aren’t truly there.
Can tuberculosis cause paranoia and hallucinations or was it the loss of Mai and TyLee that has put her mind of kilter. If the former is to be blamed then it might be that she is reaching her last days. And, by the spirits, it seems to have come about so quickly. She knows that she doesn’t want to be alone when she takes her last red, labored breath.
Her chest hurts.
Her lungs burn.
She is afraid to die.
But she is afraid to breathe.
.oOo.
To some degree, she wonders what the purpose is. Of the crown. Of this new title. Of anything really. Azula will be dead soon and she knows it. So why then? Why bother letting them fix the crown into her hair? A sense of duty, she decides, and to make father proud right to the very end. Her nation depends on her, especially now, with the comet barreling towards the world. Her firebending is charged, she can feel it in her core, but she is no longer certain that she could withstand its power.
The Fire Sages hover the crown just above their head, they are just about to decree that she is the new firelord. She closes her eyes and when she opens them, Zuko is in front of her with the waterbender at his side and the bison behind him.
Surely she is delirious with fever.
But no, the Fire Sages are exchanging looks.
Her already burning chest, flares with hatred. Resentment for the person who had taken her mother from her and then her friends. For the person who now wants to steal her crown—the very last thing that she has.
She is in no condition for an Agni Kai, but she will fight all the same.
She will fight to keep what is hers, fight for her nation, and fight for her honor. She will fight for her vengeance. She will fight for her friends—surely Mai and TyLee will understand then, how much they mean to her.
She rises to her feet, her head is already spinning.
Dear Zuzu has already accepted her challenge. Her fate, whatever it may be, is sealed.
She closes her eyes and hopes that her coughing will subside just long enough for her to win this fight.
She takes a labored breath and she takes a stance. She feels that breath, scratchy and searing. Like sandpaper dragging all the way down her throat. She holds herself rigid and ready in spite of it.
Zuko makes the first strike, a powerful blast of orange flames that heat her face from well across the arena. She returns with a burst of her own blue and equally as scorching, if not more so. It isn’t a fair match; not in numbers, not with her state of mind, not with her state of health. She supposes that she has made her share of sneaky, honorably questionable maneuvers. A war is a war and it will not stop because she is feeling ill.
And so she throws blast after blast until the chills start to wrack her body. Even then, she pushes onwards. Even then she wields her fire as she always had. But the more the smoke fills her lungs, the more agitated they become.
She can feel the fit coming on.
“What, no lightning today? Afraid I’ll redirect it?”
It is bait and she should know better.
But it is an excuse; an excuse to end this match once and for all, before tuberculosis ends it for her.
Perhaps this will be the last thing that she does. She wonders if Mai and TyLee will miss her. Or if they will be relieved to know that she is gone. The lightning crackles on her fingers and the fever crackles in her body.
Both will be released, only one will claim its target.
She sends the lightning off as disease rushes forward. Her lightning falls short, it splits the ground with a rumbling crack. It launches Zuko violently towards the other end of their arena. And it launches her body into a violent fit. Her coughs come on with such merciless furocity that it leaves her stomach aching and her body hunched forward.
She can feel the blood behind her teeth. If she parts her lips, it will drip onto the ground. Perhaps not a dramatic spatter, but two or three little droplets.
She glances at her right hand.
It is bloodied.
She glances at the battleground.
At two alarmed faces.
And then she sees nothing at all.
.oOo.
Azula’s vision is fuzzy. There are figures around her bedside and she can’t tell who is who. She thinks that they are probably doctors. The same ones who have been attending her since she’d come home. The ones that Lo and Li had found for her.
Her throat hurts and her head is woozy.
Sounds hurt.
Bright light hurts as it streams through the window. A glorious light spills over her face but she has not earned glory.
The comet has passed and so to has her coughing fit. But the tingling in her throat remains as a souvenir of her suffering and her lungs don’t seem that keen on expanding fully. For it, when her lips part, her breath comes out in a labored hiss.
“Aang should be here soon, he can help with that.” It takes Azula a moment to recognize that voice as the waterbender’s. But of course. She might not be here if not for waterbending. And for the life of her, Azula can’t understand why Katara would help her. Especially when Zuko had also been harmed. Perhaps he hadn’t taken a direct hit but the lightning had fallen at his feet and the shockwaves had thrown him a respectable distance.
Katara likes him better anyhow.
Everyone does.
“Mai and TyLee?” Azula mannages.
“They’ll be here soon.”
But she can’t imagine that they will want to talk to her. They are probably coming for Zuzu, to check on and comfort him.
“I’m cold.” She mentions. But she is also terribly hot, her face has a thin film of sweat.
“You have a fever.” Katara replies. “But I think that you know that. How long?”
“How long, what?”
“How long have you known?” And then she elaborates. “That you were sick.”
“None of your…” she falters into a half cough. “Of…” another half cough. “your…” And then there is the first full cough. Finally another fit comes on in full. Silent tears leak down her cheeks, more so the product of physical strain than any emotion.
Katara hands her a glass of water. “Drink that. After you swallow I’m going to bend that water and try to soothe the inside of your throat. It will probably feel weird, but it won’t hurt…”
It wouldn’t matter if it did, her throat is already sore.
“...And you won’t drown.”
Fleetingly it crosses her mind, that maybe she would be perfectly content drowning. She drinks the glass and Katara takes hold of the water. The sensation is terribly unpleasant, like nothing she has ever felt. Like nothing she ever wants to feel again. But then her burning throat cools and the sharpest of pangs taper off.
Katara lowers her hands. “No more talking, okay? You’ll agitate your throat.” Katara says. “Just rest.”
Azula nods.
“Zuko is in the bed next to you. Both of his feet are bandaged and he’s got a concussion so he won’t be walking for a little while.” Katara informs. “Mai and TyLee and my friends are on their way. You can go to sleep, I’ll wake you up when they get here.”
But she won’t be able to sleep. Her head is too preoccupied with troubled thoughts; knowing that she had failed her people and her father, knowing that she has lost everything including Mai and TyLee, knowing that her carefully guarded secret is now in the hands of the enemy. The enemy that is fixing her blankets for her and putting a cool rag on her forehead.
“Why?” Her voice is so hoarse. Hoarse and whispery, nothing like the elegant silk it had been.
“Because, you don’t deserve to die.”
It is a simple and impersonal answer. But it is just as well.
“I think that things can be different.” Katara adds. “Now that the war is over.”
Different.
She doesn’t particularly like ‘different’.
She thinks that she might be afraid of ‘different’.
Even if ‘different’ could be better for her.
“Get some rest, okay. I’m going to keep waterbending and I’ll have Sokka reach out to this herbalist that we met in Taku; she’s very knowledgeable and she has this troublemaking cat.”
“Miyuki?” Azula grumbles.
“You know Miyuki?”
Azula nods.
“Does that have anything to do with how Miyuki got in trouble with the Fire Nation?”
Another nod.
“That’s a story that you’re going to have to tell.”
“You said no talking.” Azula dodges.
“Later on.” Katara replies. “Right now, just get some rest. We’ll figure out how to treat your tuberculosis.”
Azula nods once more. Perhaps she will get to live a full lifetime afterall. She just isn’t certain of what sort of life it will be.

hc that ozai was giving zuko an opportunity to kill him and take the fire throne in a show of strength when he set the agni kai.
like he was kinda over ruling, he saw how strong of a bender zuko was, he knew how cruel azula was becoming, and he chose to give zuko a shot.
he set up planning the sacrifice of the 41st during zuko’s first ever war council as a test, to see how the boy would respond. zuko took the bait, and ozai demonstrated the “no mercy” tactics he wants zuko to adopt by shaming him in front of the council and forcing the agni kai.
of course ozai couldn’t say anything directly to zuko, the walls have ears at the fire palace and he couldn’t chance whispers of ozai flopping in the agni kai undermining the new young fire lord’s rule.
i’m OBSESSED with this interpretation now btw because it means even without knowing what he was doing, zuko rejected the fire throne by being true to himself and showing mercy. (and this is an arc he has to go through again but consciously this time in order to unwind the damage done by ozai’s rule.)
it also means ozai’s love for his son never vanished. rather it became a twisted and awful thing, forcing him to push zuko away from his own nature and into a role that even ozai doesn’t want anymore in hopes of keeping the beloved son alive through shows of cruelty and power.

The Dragon Emperor
If someone remembers this, it has happened. I have already written several chapters and figured out how I want the story to develop, so I will probably post new chapters on a weekly basis. I have to say that it gets better as the story moves forward.
Chapter 1: Can you help me?

wait zuko tries to actually kill someone?? zuko??? the guy who tried to save ZHAO after everything?? that zuko???
the very same!!!
#the more we talk about it the more fucked off i get. ZUKO zuko? turtleduck boy? son of ursa? get his name out your mouth netflix#he tried to kill sokka and katara once each AND he shot aang out of the sky rlly brutally in ep1#and like. smirked as he fell towards ice spikes despite not knowing appa would swoop in and catch him#like what was all that about. who is this guy#he also ordered his soldiers to burn down the entire swt village and only didnt bc aang stepped forward. WHAT#like you could argue he doesn't realise his attacks are fatal bc he's just blinded by temper and his mission#like he's never directly gone 'kill that guy!' 'im gonna kill you' or smthn even tho when he attacked katara it WAS pretty implied#w the whole 'im gonna get the avatar are NO ONE will get in my way' or whatever the fuck he said before close-range channeling#enough fire to constitute a BOMB and aiming at her while she was already down. WHATEVER#so i think that's maybe what the writers are going for but like. that's such a weak defence#ask#atla live action

I love the soundtrack for the last Agni Kai because it's not epic, it's tragic. Most shows would make an epic soundtrack for one of the final battles that were the key for victory, but not ATLA. It shows that Zuko's victory isn't really something to be celebrated (though the characters would not be wrong to do so). It shows that Zuko and Azula's story is a tragedy. They're both just children forced to fight a war that wasn't even theirs, and they weren't even able to fight it together
#zuko and azula's story is a tragedy#since they were children their father manipulated them into being cruel and horrible#and like. they don't hate eachother#they care and love eachother so so much. but azula's version of love is sick and twisted#and even when zuko wins the agni kai (which if i might add; azula lost the moment she shot katara. she broke the rules)#he doesn't look angry or hateful. he doesn't celebrate that he's finally beaten one of his two main abusers#he just looks down at her in pity#and later he still doesn't hate her. he even tries to help her!#but azula's mind has been way too twisted by ozai for her to see the errors in her ways#i love them sm :(#atla#avatar#avatar the last airbender#zuko#azula#zuko and azula#azula and zuko#fire siblings#fire hazard#atla zuko#atla azula#the last agni kai#agni kai

zuko has to learn to read between the lines because sokka rarely talks freely about things that are bothering him unless he’s at a breaking point. it takes zuko a while to realize that sokka uses humor to cope, and that just because sokka is telling jokes doesn’t mean he’s okay. sokka had to be strong and put on a good face for the children of the gaang for so long that sometimes he forgets he doesn’t have to do that anymore
meanwhile sokka has to learn to be Very Patient with zuko. if the boy’s not ready to talk about something, pushing him will only make him shut down completely. and similarly, even if he is ready to talk about something, it takes him a while to articulate his thoughts, and they often come out jumbled. sokka has to kind of put the pieces together to figure out what he’s trying to get at. zuko wasn’t and still often isn’t allowed to be inarticulate in his life, so if he hasn’t grasped his own thoughts yet he gets very nervous sharing
