Hi super sorry if your request aren’t open.

I had this thought about Zuko x waterbending reader and maybe they could be related to Hama (like a grandma or something) and r basically it’s difficult to explain but Zuko and reader started dating after the war and he tries really hard to get Hamas approval because he’s from the fire nation and Hama ends up sorta accepting him but is still hella weary about him

‘Dinner’- Zuko x female!reader

An: HIYA! So as to not be annoying I’m leaving my lil disappearance explanation at the bottom, enjoy 🫶

(As usual, thank you for your request and patience it means a lot 💕)

Warnings: fighting/agression but it’s brief dw (this is also a very short piece)

You smiled as a candle flickered in your room, kicking your feet as you read a letter your boyfriend, Zuko, wrote to you. He detailed in it his most recent endeavours as a fire lord, as well as affirmed that he could in fact come for a visit. You had been planning to move to his palace soon, as per his request, but he was afraid your grandmother, Hama, a ruthless fire nation hating blood bender who might just hate Zuko, would not be on board. You decided the easiest way was to have them both over for food, and you’d prepared a huge feast of different delicacies of both nations. Zuko was meant to arrive in about an hour, and Hama was already down stairs washing up. She vaguely knew you were going to introduce her to someone, just not entirely aware of who. You shoved the scroll into another backpack you packed for your move, which was supposed to take place a week from now if all goes well.

You walked over to the window sill and sat on a cushion you placed on the protruding wooden part, sighing. You wandered in an endless maze of thoughts, until a face appeared in front of you. You squeaked, almost falling backwards but you caught yourself. Shaking your head, you unlocked the window and pulled zuko in.

“Dude?” You questioned, pulling him in for a hug.

He smelled like the sea, you noted, originally expecting the smell of a certain beast on him.

“Sorry- I got nervous,” you giggled, pinching his pouty cheeks.

He grinned, dipping you into a passionate kiss that screamed ‘I miss you’ in every language. His hand trailed to your back, and yours his hair. Just as things began to escalate, the door swung open.

“YN!”

Immediately, you pushed him away, and he stumbled backwards. Both your eyes landed on your grandma, who was as pale as a ghost.

“I can explain!”

“What kind of nonsense is this?”

Zuko was frozen, from the long list of things that could've gone wrong, this did not even make the top one hundred list.

“Grandma, this is Zuko,” you calmed down, “My boyfriend,”

He snapped out of his trance and extended an arm to shake with her. She walked out, leaving a small stone to prevent the door from closing again.

“Sorry about her,” you groaned, embarrassed that she left him hanging.

He retreated his arm, shoving it into his pocket, “She already thinks I suck. It’s over.”

“It’s okay she’s easy to win over,” you smiled sweetly, contrasting the lies that currently fled your lips.

Stiff, awkward, weird… all of the above.

You couldn’t relax for this dinner, things were so tense after what just happened. He didn’t even get to say hello before she saw his tongue down your throat and now she probably is a hair away from blood bending him into a ball. And he could tell she hated him- when he asked you to pass him a spoon she threw it at him. She missed…

“So, why don’t you tell her about yourself Zuko,” you broke the silence.

His eyes widened, suddenly being put on the spot, “Well I-uh-um-“ he coughed.

“He helped the avatar end a hundred year war,” you chimed in.

“Yeah so he can start a 200 year war all on his own,” she remarked, glaring at him. “All fire folks are the same,”

“Gram, give him a chance, he’s trying his best,” you held his hand over the table, rubbing your thumb in comforting circles.

Suddenly, a fork came hurling at you, and when you both dodged your hands away, you found it embedded in the table.

“Right…” you breathed out.

She stood up abruptly, folding her arms, “Yn, come outside, now,”

“Yes ma’am,” you replied, looking back at Zuko with a worried expression.

You shut the creaky wooden door behind you and adjusted your garments as you stood by here on the patio.

“A fire nation boy?”

“He’s different… he’s not what you think he is,”

“That’s what they all say Yn, he’s bad news.”

“What about him is bad news?”

“Everything. Especially the fact that he’s a ticking time bomb.”

“He’s a good man.”

“Are you forgetting his past? He attacked the avatar!” Your eyes widened, “That’s right, I did my research… I know every little thing he did and so help me if you dare leave this house with him I will make sure that’s the last time either of you see each other.”

“You can’t do that!”

“Who’s gonna stop me?”

Your eyes brimmed with tears- it was one thing to ban you from seeing him, but a completely other thing to treat you like a child. You were old enough to make these decisions on your own. You huffed, storming back inside and waltzing into your bedroom, slamming the door with a lot of force.

Hama sat back down at the table, smiling before she flipped it onto Zuko. He gasped, standing up quickly to avoid being crushed. She stomped around the table and got up in his face, grabbing the collar of his shirt. She was surprisingly strong for her ancient age.

“What do you want from her?”

“To be with her,”

“Why?”

“Because I love her,”

“WHY?”

“WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO SAY?”

She pushed him onto the ground, lifting her arm as if about to bloodbend him. He’d heard the tales of what she was capable of from his friends, and he felt his heart drop.

Zuko froze, waiting, shielding himself and closing his eyes.

“Aren’t you gonna firebend?” She asked, a bitter sounding tone.

“No.”

Just then, you exited your room, finally having collected your bearings. There, you found Zuko almost curled up on himself, and Hama glaring at him. He breathed heavily, and she looked as if a blood vessel was about to pop. You immediately rushed to his side, helping him up to his feet and checking him for wounds. He was fine of course.

Your hand brushed against his cheek and he closed his eyes, humming, “I’m fine,”

“What did you do?” You yelled, looking at the old lady.

“I tested him.”

You laughed sarcastically, “And did he pass,”

“With flying colours,” 2 out of 3 pairs of eyebrows flew upwards, you and Zuko exchanged glances. “For now,”

After a bit of cleaning up, you finished the night with Zuko in your bedroom, sitting at your desk.

“Is everything okay?” You asked, leaning against the table.

“If she doesn’t even want me near you, how on Earth are you going to move in with me?”

“That’s… that’s a great question.”

An: OKAY SO idek where to start I basically obv got back to school and I had exams and then even MORE EXAMS coming up (send help) BUUUT I mainly just lost my spark and interest in writing but it feels wrong to continue to ignore my inbox so I’m gonna try my best to clear it soon. If you have requested I’m genuinely so so sorry it’s taken this long I’m sure you’re mad at me but hopefully not too mad don’t hate me okay bye love you 🩷

Why aren’t you written for ATLA anymore :( i really enjoyed reading your zukoxreader. I love your writing style 🥰.

Love you🩷🫶🏻

Hey love <3 Thanks so much for the compliments, it means a lot that you enjoyed my writing!

But the reason I don't write for ATLA anymore is the fact that every character in the show that I could write for is a minor. I am not comfortable for writing x readers anymore with anyone under the age of 18

Sorry about that, but at the same time not just because of how comfortable I am with writing something

Thanks for being so sweet about it though and I hope you have a really good rest of your day!! <3

100 follower event~ N/SFW

Zuko x reader: oh no, there's only one bed

- You are part of the avatar gang and are traveling with them. Zuko has recently joined you guys and the gang is slowly warming up to him.

- You had been getting along with everyone pretty well. And after Zuko joined you realised you actually have the most in common with him. You two became pretty close friends and would talk quite often.

- Your platonic feelings became replaced with romantic ones overtime when you watched Zuko teach Aang how to fire bend.

- One night, Zuko noticed that his fire bending powers have significantly weakened. He decides to train and increase his power. While practicing his fire bending, he accidentally sets fire to everyone's belongings. Luckily Katara was able to put out the fire before the damage was severe. Turns out only Zuko's tent was damaged in the fire.

- Everyone decides that Zuko will sleep in Sokka's tent tonight and they'll go get a new one for Zuko tomorrow. They all go to bed for the night.

- Zuko lets Sokka get settled in first, opting instead to gaze at the stars with you in companionable silence.

- Once you turn in for the night, Zuko walks into Sokka's tent to find Sokka sprawled across the entire tent. Zuko tries moving him over to try and find some space but the jostling only yields in Sokka's cock slipping out. It resembles a shriveled raisin and Zuko mutters, "That's rough, buddy." and leaves the tent to report to you his findings.

- You're surprised to find the crown prince at your tent at this time of the night. You look at him questioningly and he shrugs shyly and starts babbling about raisins. You sigh and invite him in thinking it can't be helped. You figure it was too much to ask Zuko to share a bed with Sokka no matter how friendly they had become.

- Suddenly it crosses your mind that there is only one mattress in your tent. You look over at Zuko and it seems that he has realised this too based on the redness on his face (no not his scar, he is blushing).

- You get a bit flustered thinking about how you're going to be sharing the same mattress with a great and handsome guy like Zuko. After a small awkward silence Zuko offers to sleep on the floor.

- Right when he's starting to move his body towards the floor you grab a hold of his shirt to stop him. "It's gonna be hard for you to sleep on the floor, let's just share the mattress. We're friends after all, it's fine." you say with a smile on your blushing face.

- You sit on the mattress and pat the small space next to you. Zuko joins you but refuses to look at you. You put the blanket over the two of you and lie down thinking if you act like everything is normal then maybe he'll feel more comfortable.

- Zuko eventually lies down next to you. Your backs are touching each other and you can feel the warmth emanating from him. It feels so strange to be in such close proximity to him. You both are really good friends but you've never been this physically close to him.

- A few minutes pass and you feel Zuko moving around a bit. You hear him whisper "Uh hey y/n.. are you asleep?". "No I can't sleep for some reason."

- A few seconds pass. He whispers again "Maybe this isn't the right time to say this, but thank you for everything you've done for me. All my life it's been so hard for me to be accepted by others. Yet you accepted me and made me feel so welcomed even though we've known each other for a short amount of time." You feel and hear him move around again, this time he flipped over and your back is pressing against his chest. "You mean a lot to me y/n".

- You flip around as well now your chest is pressed against his. You look into his eyes and see a very tender and loving gaze staring at you. You reply, "You mean a lot to me too Zuko. Meeting you has made my days livelier than they used to be."

- Both of you are staring into each others eyes, and Zuko's eyes flutter back and forth between your lips and your eyes. Taking the hint, you close your eyes and lean forward planting a gentle kiss on his lips. He reciprocates a little sloppily, but lovingly.

- He wraps his arms around your waist, while one of yours is on his shoulder and the other is in his soft hair. Your chests are so close, the tent feels like it's getting hotter and you feel something hard pressing against your stomach.

- One of your hands roam downwards and palms his member. Zuko lets out a moan and starts paying attention to your neck. The heat in the tent increases and you're sweating even more.

- Now that his attention is on your neck you open your eyes slightly to get a peek. As your eyes open you see red all around you. Your tent is on fire.

- Holy shit your tent is on fire. You see small fire sparks on the surface of Zuko's body. He had been producing fire without realising it. You push a very puzzled Zuko off of you and open the entrance to the tent. You grab his arm and get him out of there with you.

- You both watch the fire grow bigger and bigger while holding hands. Katara awakened by the smell of smoke puts the fire out once more and goes back to bed.

- Zuko and you cuddle and fall asleep on the ground upon the ashes where your tent was.

your bed lover,

Lie to me

Sub GN!Reader x Unspecified Dom w/ he/him pronouns

Genre: untitled smut prompt in which y/n is pretty damn desperate for relief 😃 not associated with any specific character, but could be Zuko from atla or Asra from the Arcana. just for fun and not proofread :)

contains: dom/sub dynamic, begging

--------

"i'm so horny, baby", you say, quietly. "i need release. i can't think straight. i can't think about anything else."

"you wont cum yet, baby. at least not with permission."

your face takes on desperate features and your breath hatches.

"please", you breathe with so much need that you feel tears building up in your eyes, but he shakes his head.

you mirror his movement, looking around the room frantically, searching for any kind of solution, any kind of possibility, any kind of release. your eyes stop as a desperate, filthy idea hits you.

"then lie to me", you say, looking up to him. "please, just tell me you'll let me cum. i need that security just for a moment. just lie."

he furrows his brows and laughs.

"oh, sweetheart?", he laughs, "are you really that desperate? that horny? enough to beg me to lie to you, even if you know it's not gonna be true?"

you swallow.

"yes."

Imagine being Mai’s younger sister and having a reciprocated crush on Zuko ever since you were kids. For obvious reasons, neither of you acted on your feelings but when you reconnect as adults things are different.

Part two here

Part three here

___

You were Mai’s younger sister, only a year younger but that year made a big impact on your life. The age difference meant when Ursa and Ozai were looking for companions for Azula, despite being three years older, Mai was sent as she was the eldest. After a few supervised playdates Mai was selected and you weren’t surprised in the slightest. Mai was everything you wanted to be, responsible, well-behaved, beautiful and respected. Your family adored her because she was the perfect daughter and no matter what you did you couldn’t get out of her shadow.

Mai was so perfect she even started dating the future Firelord when she was 13. You’d seen that coming too. You knew Mai had a crush on Zuko for years and that had always made you wary of Zuko. The truth was being the same age as him you saw a lot of Zuko and you also liked him but learnt early on he was Mai’s.Your sister liked him and you wouldn’t do anything to get in her way. So you just focused on being Zuko’s friend until apparently that was too much as well. Azula informed you one day when you were 12 that Mai was jealous of you and Zuko doing homework together. Azula was ruthless with her insults, she called you cheap, jealous of Mai, desperate for Zuko’s attention and a thousand other things that stuck with you. So from that day you stopped interacting with Zuko when you could help it. You never wanted to cause trouble and were used to putting your wants and feelings to the back of the pile so just did that, no matter how challenging it was. You saw Zuko almost every day at school and sometimes more. He was dating Mai so he was always around and it sometimes led to interactions. He’d ask you to pass Mai a note or give you something Mai had left at his. The worst times were when he’d come over to yours after school. As Mai was in the year above she finished earlier and so Zuko would walk with you to your home. You weren’t sure why he did it, you’d been distant with him for long enough. You refused to speak to him apart from nods if he asked you a direct yes or no question but still he’d walk beside you all the way to your home. It was tense and uncomfortable every step but still the next week Zuko would do the same thing and you could never work out why.

Your crush never faded but you managed to place it in the background where you could ignore it. You never bothered with dating because honestly you didn’t feel that excitement with anyone like you did around Zuko. You didn’t see the point in getting involved with people unless you liked them so you rejected every boy. Which caused great aggravation between you and your parents. By the time you reached 19 and still hadn’t brought home one suitor your parents were at their limit. "We thought Mai would be the one with no prospects but she’s dated two very respectable men" your father frowned "whereas at 19 you haven’t had a single partner". You resisted the eye roll "maybe not but i am very high up in my profession”. Mai didn't even have a job you wanted to add but you refused to tear down your sister just to make yourself feel better. Your accomplishments alone should be enough. You worked at the Boiling Rock prison, your uncle had gotten you the job and you liked it. You wanted to help rehabilitate the prisoners and although many guards didn’t share your affinity you’d been climbing higher and higher and were finally in the position to enact some reforms. It was an impressive feat but of course your parents weren’t that pleased. In their eyes there was one main thing you were failing at and that surpassed anything you had done correctly. "A career is great but what about a family?" your mother asked "you can’t be alone forever". "Why not?" you burst "i can provide for myself, i don’t get lonely and i don’t like anyone enough to waste my time on them". Your father shook his head "it reflects badly on our name if you are not married, Mai at least gave suitors a chance not to mention her and Zuko will inevitably get back together but you are too selfish to try. It’s not just about you, your actions impact us too. What will it look like for us if our daughter is alone forever?".

The argument went round and round with no conclusion. Your parents refused to listen and you refused to sell yourself for the family name. It was like this every time you came home so you avoided it as much as you could but this was a monumental occasion. You had an audience with the Firelord to pitch him your suggested reforms. You waited in the reception for your appointment while your parent’s voices replayed in your head no matter how many times you tried to banish them. This was too important, you wouldn’t let them ruin it no matter how badly the odds were stacked against you. Everyone at work had said your task was impossible, that the Firelord would never care about something as “unimportant” as reforming the prisons. They’d pointed out that Ozai would not have cared so why would his son be any different. You suspected they were correct but you’d gotten this far and at least had to try.

A Kyoshi warrior appeared and told you to follow her. She explained Firelord Zuko was very busy so your meeting had been halved in time. That didn’t ease your anxiety. You were shown into a room and minutes later Zuko entered. You hadn’t seen him in years, not since his break up with Mai, but he hadn’t changed much. Despite knowing him since you were 5 you’d been trained to respond appropriately to royalty and bowed immediately. Zuko told you to rise before he paused "y/n? My meeting is with you?". You nodded meeting his eyes fleetingly "yes i’m the general at boiling rock, i thought you knew....". "I knew you worked there but had no idea you’d risen so high" Zuko smiled "well done i’m sure your family is very proud". You looked away awkwardly and chose not to answer "i understand you don’t have a lot of time so thank you for seeing me". Zuko nodded his head "yes i’m sorry for shortening it, if i’d have known it was you i would’ve pushed my other appointment back instead but i’m afraid now it’s too late". "It’s okay i can condense it down into a 3-minute talk" you said in business mode and launched into your proposal. Just 1 minute in Zuko stopped you and you felt your stomach fill with dread. He wasn’t even going to let you finish before he dismissed your reforms. You sighed sadly when Zuko stood up "i think i can save us both some time, i agree with everything you’ve said and move we pass these reforms". You blinked "what?". "I agree with you" Zuko said simply "i’ve seen how the fire nation punishes people and i don’t like it, i say we start working on these immediately, are you free some time next week to discuss them thoroughly?". You blinked "to discuss them with you?". Zuko nodded "i’d like to help with this as much as i can and support your project fully, i’m free next Wednesday how about we meet and discuss them all in-depth?". You blinked "that’d be amazing thank you Firelord". "Zuko" he said correcting you "come on y/n we’ve known each other since we were kids you don’t have to call me that, at least not when we’re alone". You looked down embarrassed and nodded "thank you...Zuko". Zuko smiled "no problem, now i’m really sorry but i do have to go. So i’ll see you next Wednesday, send my best to Mai and your parents" and Zuko left the room.

You were utterly shocked by your meeting, as was everyone at the prison, and wondered if it would all come crashing down on you. Maybe Zuko would realise Firelords didn’t tend to be so helpful and cancel the whole thing but no such message arrived and so the next week you arrived at the palace. Armed with stacks of your plans you entered still half expecting to be turned away but were led inside. You were taken straight into Zuko’s study where he already sat waiting. "Y/n" he smiled "it’s good to see you again". "You too....Firelord Zuko" you said glancing at the guards in the room. "Dismissed" Zuko said and they left. "I pretty much have all day so don’t worry we don’t have to rush" Zuko told you before he glanced at the table. "Given it’s early i’ve got us some tea and breakfast things if you’d like a cup?" he said gesturing to them. You paused surprised, Zuko was very friendly and not anything like Ozai, it was hard to believe they were related. "Erm yes please but shouldn’t i?" you asked as Zuko went to prepare the tea but he shook his head immediately. "I’m Firelord not dead" he replied and began pouring the tea. He passed you a cup and took a seat across from you "now i promise no interruptions this time, tell me your ideas". 

You and Zuko discussed the reforms all day and you were thrilled how much he agreed to pass. It would be a lot of work but as you finished up you were hopeful and excited, you could do this. You could actually make a long-lasting positive change!

You packed up your belonging in this haze when Zuko paused thoughtfully.  "I have an idea" Zuko said "this is a very delicate and intricate proposal so how about we monitor it closely, we could meet say every week to go over its progress and discuss it?" Zuko asked. You paused "are you sure that’s not too much of your time?". "Of course not, i meant what i said, I like this project. It will do a lot of good, it’s just getting it there". You nodded your head "thank you that sounds great". Zuko smiled "perfect so we will meet every week to discuss this, it will be informal don’t worry and i’ll cover the costs of your travel, would you like to stay in the palace or at your home?". "My home is fine" you said even though the thought of seeing your parents every week pained you. Zuko smiled "great, how is everyone? Mai? Tomtom? Your parents?". "Mai’s good" you smiled "she’s happy" you said awkwardly trying to not mention her boyfriend which Zuko saw right through. Zuko smiled "y/n i know Mai is dating Kei Lo you can talk about it, we broke up almost 2 years ago". "Or course i just didn’t want to upset you". Zuko chuckled "as great as your sister is i am officially over her" Zuko smiled "so how is Tomtom, he must be big now?". You nodded "he’s nearly 7". "No!" Zuko cried and you laughed "i know! I still remember when he was born, it feels like yesterday". Zuko smiled “and your parents?". "They're fine" you said quickly and Zuko noticed how quickly your walls came back up. Something was clearly bothering you relating to your parents however Zuko understood parents were difficult so he didn’t push you. He thanked you for coming and led you to the door hoping whatever it was, one day you’d confide in him about it.

You returned the next week and every week after and found Zuko to be just as friendly and unfirelord-like. You also noticed how with the preparation springing into place these meetings no longer needed to be as intense or frequent but still Zuko scheduled them weekly. You wondered why when it occurred to you, Zuko might be lonely. Growing up his only friend had been Mai but she had also been his girlfriend. Now they’d broken up, his father was in prison, Azula was on the run, his mother & other relatives all lived far away and the avatar and his friends were constantly travelling...Zuko was the same age as you but so alone. You knew how that felt and so you didn’t stop the meetings either.

As time progressed the meetings also changed in their tone. Seeing as you could usually finish the business talk in an hour you and Zuko had taken to doing different tasks. From playing pai sho to feeding his newly hatched dragon Druk but your favourite was the palace gardens. Zuko had put a lot of effort into them and they were more beautiful than you ever remembered. So weekly you and Zuko would spend hours outside in them, talking and sitting together.

Zuko noticed how you were slowly but surely warming to him. You had always been careful and cautious around him in the past and that hadn’t changed but as the weeks went by you smiled more and actually looked him in the eye. You even started asking him questions about himself and his life. Your confidence grew and Zuko couldn’t escape how happy it made him feel to realise you felt safe around him.

One week you and Zuko were inside eating lunch together when his head guard Suki appeared. "Firelord Zuko i’m sorry but we have urgent business". Zuko nodded "what is it?". "Nobleman Rao has appeared unannounced at the palace, he claimed his cart broke down but considering he’s been pestering you for an audience for months that seems convenient. He’s here with his family and he wants to dine with you tonight". Zuko sighed "and if i refuse not only will i look rude but he will just stay longer". Suki nodded her head "as annoying as this is, i think the best thing would be to throw him a nice dinner and get him dealt with". Zuko nodded "tell him he can dine with me later". As soon as Suki left Zuko turned back to you. He tried to smile but you saw the weight this brought on him. "Is this man that bad?" you asked and Zuko nodded sighing. "He’s old fashioned and thinks he deserves respect just because of his family name. He constantly talks and demands a lot, i knew i’d have to see him eventually but i planned on having other people there too to try and balance his demanding nature. His wife is the same so i guess it’ll be two on one" Zuko sighed "i’ll be fine it just won’t be a pleasant evening". You frowned and an idea formed in your head "could i help?". Zuko looked up "what?". "Well perhaps i could help to ease the tension or to distract him from you? I don’t know i just thought if you wanted someone on your side there....". Zuko smiled, like your sister you weren’t known for being social unless you had to be so your offer meant a lot. "You’d do that for me?" he asked and you blushed "i mean i don’t want you to be overworked, you’re already doing so much...i want to help you". Zuko smiled touched "y/n that’d be wonderful, are you sure you don't mind?". You shook your head "not at all".

Hours later outside the royal dining room you regretted your decision. As soon as you’d finished eating you were rushed away by maids to prepare for a formal dinner. You didn’t have any fancy clothes so were made to borrow a royal dress so extravagant and expensive you felt like a peacock. You picked at the dress self consciously when Zuko appeared, also dressed in finery. You noticed him take in your outfit and sighed "i know i look ridiculous! It was the only dress they had on short notice so don’t mock me". "I wasn’t going to, you look beautiful". Zuko stared at you as he said that and you blushed vividly as you realised he wasn’t joking. "Sorry" Zuko said noticing he’d made you blush "but it’s true, you don’t look ridiculous at all". You blinked taking in Zuko’s compliment when he extended an arm to you “we should go in, are you ready?”. Still confused and blushing slightly you took his arm.

Zuko led you to the large dining room and stepped into the room confidently. You were amazed at how easily he could transform like that. He seemed to grow in size and morphed into an impressive confident king. You walked beside him slightly in awe and had trouble taking your eyes off him. Zuko brought you out of your daze as he introduced you to the nobleman. "This is my friend y/n" Zuko explained "she was visiting me too and so i invited her to dine with us". "The more the merrier!" Rao smiled and you smiled back politely but noticed him staring at the dress. Like Zuko he seemed to admire it but his stares made you uncomfortable whereas Zuko’s didn’t. As if sensing this Zuko seated you away from the man and placed himself in between as a buffer. You smiled at Zuko gratefully and took your seat.

The dinner was as Zuko expected. Rao was constantly asking veiled questions and prodding Zuko’s vague answers mercilessly. However as there were more people it was easier to change the subject and Zuko noticed you were particularly good at this. You deftly countered his questions with ones of your own and also quickly befriended Rao’s wife Uyaru and got her talking which left little room for her husband to speak. Zuko smiled at your hidden diplomacy skills and Rao was obviously annoyed at how this evening was turning out. When the dinner was reaching a close he tried to corner Zuko in a last attempt to get support on expanding his territory. You and Uyara were discussing something when Rao rudely interrupted her. “I’m sure the Firelord doesn’t want to hear about your trip to Ba Sing Sei” he said curtly “I’m sure he’d much rather hear about the news from his people. I’ve heard rumours from the northern providences that general Osonu is poorly managing his land and would be better off selling it to someone who can properly manage it. Has your grace given any thought to the matter?”. There it was and so blatant too, had the man no shame trying to steal land from a man who had done nothing wrong. Osonu was a good man who valued his residents more than his profits. His reputation was far better than Rao’s in a moral sense even if it wasn’t from an economic viewpoint but Zuko knew which he preferred. Zuko dodged the question but Rao kept on pushing and you intervened. "I thought your territory was the eastern providence sir?" you asked innocently. Rao paused "it is....". "ow? I was just confused because you have such a keen interest in the northern towns, do you have family there?". "No" he said awkwardly and you paused "I see, so it’s just a hobby then? Keeping track of historic lands that have belonged to the Osonu line forever and will always belong to them" you asked “I also love history” you smiled brightly. Rao paled and looked down “yes me too...so what are the plans for the comet this year?" Rao asked and Zuko smiled. Suddenly Rao didn’t want to talk about the Osonu lands anymore and it was all because of you.

The rest of dinner wrapped up rather quickly after that and as it finished Zuko felt so excited to leave the dining room. Finally with a bow, you and Zuko left and were securely back in his study. As soon as the door shut he spun to you a large smile on his face. "Was i okay?" you asked anxiously and Zuko laughed. An actual laugh escaped him and prevented him from speaking for several seconds which did nothing to help your nerves. Finally he responded "were you okay? Y/n you were perfect!" Zuko cried and you blushed. “You played his wife perfectly and then that feigning innocence with his territories i forgot how smart you are" Zuko smiled "but after tonight i’m sure I’ll never be able to forget again!”. You were a red mess and Zuko paused "y/n are you okay?". You nodded "i just...it’s nice to feel like i’ve helped you". "More than you know" Zuko said softly resting a hand on your shoulder. You glanced at it but didn’t move away, you just looked down with a light smile. “I’m pleased....perhaps next time I visit we should do something to celebrate?”. “Certainly” Zuko beamed and you smiled back feeling happier than you had in a long time.

Zuko watched you for a while longer before he seemed to realise what he was doing and looked down with a blush. “I’ll let you retire now, i’m sure you’re exhuasted from spending all that time smiling and nodding”. You nodded “it was tiring, I don’t know how you do it all the time”. Zuko shrugged “all part of being Firelord I guess”. You nodded “I know but I just wanted to say I recognise how difficult it is and say...well if you ever need anyone to stand by your side and help you get through it, I’m here for you”.

Now Zuko was the blushing mess. He’d felt alone for a while, his friends and family all meant well but they were so far away and he didn’t want to bother them with his problems. However here you were outight offering to help make his life easier no questions asked. Zuko was so pleased you’d come such a long way from the kids who hated one another and was excited about where this was going. He liked you, a lot and now he just needed to work out how to express that to you and make it into something more...but that was for a later time. 

Zuko smiled “thank you y/n that’s very kind. I will be taking you up on that offer a lot I am sure”. “Anytime” you replied, meeting his eyes for a few seconds before looking away. “Goodnight y/n and thank you” Zuko bowed and you bowed back “goodnight Zuko”. Zuko got shivers as you said his name and they didn’t leave him even when he was back in his own room. He collapsed onto his bed and smiled at how well things had gone. Tonight could’ve been a disaster but because of you it’d been one of his favourite nights as Firelord. Zuko couldn’t stop smiling and decided he’d tell you how he felt as soon as he worked out the right way to do it and he knew just the man to talk to.

So i’m definitely planning one more part to this but might also have some ideas to turn this into a longer series! I’ll see how it goes :)

Story under cut, 8 of 8, Guidance Masterlist

Peace, a word often used in hope, was finally an option now. Ozai locked up. Avatar Aang and Fire Lord Zuko ended the 100 Year War. ___ and Zuko did a quick and small wedding after his coronation. Their wedding was simple yet public to the nation.

Stigmas of all nations were a touchy matter, but everyone seemed like they wanted to thrive in this new world. After declared the end of the war, Zuko learned very quickly that the history taught in schools needed to be changed. Soon he realized this wasn’t enough. The older generations need to be taught the truth as well. As the young tried to teach the old caused more friction in his homeland. Elders and those out of school, all seemed to be prodigious against all outsiders, those of different nations.

The Gaang were off trying to gather all truths of the 100 Year War, from every corner of the planet. Taking a high notation of the brainwashed and propaganda used in the Fire Nation to appease the citizens. They wanted to rewrite history so it was true, not just the tales of the winners. A rare chance, as history is usually written by victorious crusades.

Fire Lord Zuko was doing his best in the meantime, trying to put out word of the need changes of false telling of his forefathers. Some elders were outraged until he brought out living proof of the devastation his nation has caused. Mothers speaking of lost sons, children crying out memories of departed loved ones, burn victims, refugees. Human trafficking that was allowed due to Fire Nation believing they were mighty, enslaving anyone who wasn’t born to their standards.

Although the past few months were brutal waves of truth, they sparked the proudest corners of his heart. Organizations forming to help those who needed it. Funding request to regrow towns, to make orphanages, filing systems to try and reunite lost families. Fire Lord Zuko was exhaustingly busy, helping regrow his nation out of the embers of isolation. But his dedicated wife made everything better.

Truly his safe harbor, his wings. In every situation he fretted over she would give sound options and resource information. The best support he needed, changing and adaptive, loving and caring. And above all; reasonable. Nothing ever too farfetched, nothing too impossible. If he thought her wrong, which was very rare, she’d find something to prove her right.

His wife, his queen, was truly the backbone of his support and his nation. And all while pregnant, so close to the end of her pregnancy, waddling everywhere. Although if anyone brought it up, just even in a joke, they’d be on the floor mid-laugh. Temporarily paralyzed.

With Zuko’s busy schedule he hadn’t been able to attend all of her checkups with the doctors for the pregnancy. But today he made time as he felt like she was hiding something. He knew she did it to protect him, to keep him from worrying, as he was starting to show so many symptoms of being a worrywart father already. Concerned about every movement and discomfort from his beloved spouse.

“Well, my dear, as we thought, we’re going to have to force labor.” The doctor stated calmly while putting his measuring tape away.

“What? Why?” Zuko was frantic.

“Baby has stopped growing, No growth from last week. She’s been small the whole pregnancy but was always on the tip of being just okay. You’ll likely have a very tiny babe.”

“Is it serious?”

“No, it happens, we’ll induce your wife this week just to be safe though. Measurement on the outside can’t be trusted. There’s a very high chance there is nothing wrong with the baby, they’re perfectly healthy. And we’re only inducing one week early, just to be safe.” The doctor patted Zuko’s shoulder, to ease his tension. “You get dressed, the nurse in the lobby will send a message when we’d like to schedule you for delivery.” He smiled at ___ and left.

“Is this what you were hiding? That the baby is small?” Zuko fretted as he helped her off the table

“Yes, but as the doctor said, it happens. It happened to his wife and his cousin. It’s common.” She took off the flimsy gown used for checkups, speaking as earnestly as she could.

“But-”

“Sweetie,” she placed her hands on the side of his face, pulling him down for a gentle kiss. “Everything is okay. The only worry would be if the baby does grow next week, but we’re not going to let that even be a worry. Because they’ll be in our arms before it’s a concern.”

Zuko sighed heavily as she pulled away to get dressed. But smiled as she struggled a bit to get her shoes back on, because of her beautifully swollen stomach. He smiled and helped her put them on before escorting her out of the office and home.

Standing beside ___ tightly hold her hand, while she sweated, panted, and even cursed some under her breath. Zuko was anxiously awaiting their child, while fretting over his loves pain, determined by the strength of her grip, almost crushing his hand at times. But if this was to help her while he felt completely useless, he’d endure anything. If it meant he could be of help in this moment when her scream of agony, racked through both of their bodies. As she panted, worn and drained, her eyes closed with a happy smile as they heard the first cry of their little one.

“It’s a boy,” the doctor quickly declared, it was the first word Zuko heard from the man since her sobs started. Zuko had never seen his sunflower glow so brightly while looking so defeated, her arms weakly lifting, wanting to hold the whimpering babe. “Would you like to cut the cord, Fire Lord Zuko?” A nurse was offering him some special scissors while the doctor was gently holding their child, cautiously looking over him to make sure there was nothing wrong on the surface.

Zuko barely remembers taking the special scissors but clipping the cord where the doctor instructed him, was a memory he’ll keep forever. Quickly the baby was placed on the mother, while the doctor worked to get the afterbirth out and nurses were fluttering about. Wiping the babe and tenderly lying a warm cloth over them, the infant curling into the warmth of his mother’s chest. Sweaty and dazed from pain, ___’s eyes and a smile never faltered from the precious bundle was placed in her heavy arms. How fragile, sweet, and utterly irreplaceable.

“He’s beautiful,” her sore voice was tender but raspy.

“Just like his mother.” Zuko kissed her head before leaning against her bed and glazing at the small cooing child as his head started to bob around. “Is he okay?”

A nurse nearby looked over and smiled at the concerned Lord. “Yes, he’s just rooting around, looking to feed. Do you want to try on your own first?” Her question was directed to ___.

“Yes, yes,” her reply was a bit absent-minded but she moved gingerly to direct him to her breast and showing him how to latch. Zuko watched intently as the two cuddled and interacted. The hour passed and the small one was taken for cleaning and measurements.

Finally, it was Zuko’s turn to hold the baby, who was now asleep from the activity of being born to eating the first time, bundled in a blanket. How he got to fawn over the baby, while the nurses took care of his beloved, cleaning her, getting her supplies. Once she was settled the nurses took the baby for more testing and to let the mother rest for a bit. Zuko went to ask what she wanted to name their baby, but she was passed out. She deserved it, so he just tucked her in and sat next to her patiently, rubbing his sore hand occasionally.

“Mako! I promise mommy will be home soon, then you can eat.” Zuko was desperately trying to calm the crying baby. He was a few months old, still nursing, but Zuko had seen how exhausted his wife was from taking care of the child basically on her own. He’d been slammed with royal duties; he’d planned this day for mom to get away and pamper herself. She’d given him enough bottled milk for this day, but Mako was drinking as if he’d never eaten before in his life. It was late in the afternoon, so should she should be back soon. Zuko paced.

Mako was viscously chewing and sucking on his fist, trying to calm himself as his father patted his back. Hoping he just needed to burp and not eat, even though his whines and cries were the ones that sounded like his hungry cry.

The drag of the door almost made Zuko cry in relief. Her small laugh, taking away all his worry. She looked rejuvenated while reaching for the whining bundle, making this long day for Zuko, completely worth it. He loved being a father, but he felt every out of step all day long, since it’d been at least a month since he took care of the child on his own.

Zuko was dazed by her smiling face as she nursed Mako. “You’re always saving me.” Zuko sighed before wrapping an arm around her, “what did I do to deserve you?” Kissing her temple before guiding her to the bed so they could sit together.

“Having your grandfather as the Avatar then having him as your best friend, that’s probably what you did. You helped save the world, so if I can help you, then that’s the least I can do.”

“You give yourself too little credit.”

“Like you’re one to talk,” she giggled softly before kissing him. “We both deserve happiness, let’s not question it further. Let’s just be a family, loving each other and helping others where we can.”

“Anything for you,” Zuko leaned his head against hers, closing his eyes and inhaling, taking in her scent and relaxing against her as their little one suckled.

“It looks like he’ll sleep after this feeding. Has he napped lately?”

“No, he ran out of milk a couple of hours ago then just wanted to play and giggle. Spent a lot of time on his playmat, batting at the toys.”

“Then we can have some time to ourselves. While he naps”

Zuko was a bit surprised, he honestly couldn’t remember the last time they’d been alone together, since Mako was born, not that he minded. But it’d be nice to spend some unaccompanied time together.

___ entered their room, after placing Mako in his crib in his room. She glanced around but didn’t see her love. “Zuko?” She called out softly, wondering if he’d left the room. As she turned to close the door, she spotted him. Leaning against the wall, his arms crossed. “What are you doing there? Not sulking again are you King Pout?” she teased as she shut and locked the door.

He grumbled softly before pulling her to him, resting his forehead against hers. “Just thinking about you, our time in the Earth Kingdom. How I could have lost you forever.”

“You could have, but you came back to me. And now we’re here, that’s all that matters.”

Zuko gave her a soft hum of agreement before turning her around, wedging her between the wall and his body. Her giggle was cut off as his mouth slotted against hers. As his hands and lips started to wander, she let out breathy moans, relaxing back into the wall. Gently taking his hair out then carding her fingers through it. As he bunched up the skirt of her dress, her leg followed up his and hooked on his hip.

“It’s been a while, hasn’t it?” She murmured after a light moan escaped. One hand of his was diligently pulling her underwear to the side. The other pulling the hem of her top aside to suckle across her collar bone.

He could barely hear anything outside her noises, as his fingers started to pump into her core. Chanting his name as he curled them into her soft sponge, her hand reaching down to stroke him through his trousers. His dick almost painfully pushing into her hip bone. He quickly pulled her hand off of him and pinned it up against the wall.

His fingers worked faster, making her keen and arch into him. Her breathing sped up with his actions. Her moans turned into pants and whimpers; her hips started to move with his hand. She was so close, Zuko groaned against her heated flesh as she tightened. Wanting her to reach her peak, he guided her hand to his neck before kneading her breast. He pushed another finger into sloshing folds breaking her pants, making her moan his name. He swallowed any other noises from her as he claimed her mouth.

Forming tight circles around her clit with his thumb, as his fingers, curled and pumped inside her. He knew the moment he started to touch her button, circling it and adding pressure it wouldn’t be long until she’d crash.

“Cum for me, Sunflower. Let me take care of you tonight. Cum baby,” he kissed her up her neck in between his words. A high-pitched whimper trembled her lips as the orgasm started to rip through her. His kisses and digits helping her stay on the high.

Waves of pleasure started to tamper off, she rested her head back against the wall, panting softly as he withdrew his hand from her. “Love you,” she pulled him closer to kiss him gently.

“I love you too,” resting his forehead against hers breathing her in before stepping back and tugging her towards the bed. Pull off her dress and soaked panties before kissing her and working on his own articles of clothing. “I’ll never get used to your wonderful body.”

“You will.”

“No, I won’t, because we’re growing older together every day, so there will always be something new to love.” Guiding her to lie down on the bed, under him. Settling his hips between her thighs as he scattered kisses across her chest. “A new wrinkle, a hair, stretch mark, I love them all and any new ones you get.”

“You’re sappy today,” she giggled as he huffed at her joke, gently nudging her folds with the head of his dick. Rubbing the tip, teasingly, against her throbbing core.

“Tell anyone, I’ll deny it,” he grumbled before slowly pressing into her, savoring her breathy sigh. He loved that sound and getting it every time, he sank into her constricting channel. That was something she’d never get used to, him filling and stretching her.

“I won’t,” a soft whine escaped her as he leisurely moved in and out of her. Zuko pressed into her deeply before stilling to kiss her deeply. Tongue, gentle brushes of teeth as he nipped on her lips. Not breaking the kiss, he pushed her legs to wrap around his waist. She crossed her ankles, pulling him down, closer.

“Zuko move,” she breathed pulling him down again and rutting her hips up. Zuko groaned softly resting his foreheads against hers.

“I wanted to go slow, enjoy this for a while. What do you want?” He started to pepper her face with his slightly chapped lips.

“Go slow another day, give me you,” she pulled him close and shoved her tongue into his mouth. Grinding her hips and purposely clenching down on him causing him to grunt. He gave her a grumbled fine, before snapping his hips into hers. The rapid movement causing her to moan, before she bit her bottom lip.

“We’re alone, don’t hold back on me, let me hear you,” Zuko used his thumb to gently pull her bottom lip free before thrusting harshly into her again. “Just. Like. That.” Every thrust followed with a pant or moan, punctuating his words with every drive of hips.

Salacious slapping of his hips into hers, echoed by moans and grunts from the two. Entangled limbs, sloppy kisses. Zuko was getting sloppier though, but he wanted her to release again before him. He needed to breathe, so he slowed down for a moment, kissing her more passionately. Reaching back, he grabbed one of her legs pulling it up onto his shoulder, one at a time. Circling his hips before grinding down, causing her to whimper out a wanton breath. He lied down on her more, almost pressing her knees into her shoulders.

Delicious burn went through her body as he bent her where he wanted her. A high thin whimper was his reward as he slammed into her, setting a bruising pace. Zuko grabbed her trembling hands as they wandered, looking for something to hold onto, entwining their digits and pinning them to the bed. Strangled noises and broken pieces of his name were all she could muster as he continuously abused her sweet spot. Tightening around him, as her coil started to wind making her feel him more, every vein.

Zuko’s grunts became feral and guttural. Soft praises and sweet words were murmured along with her name, as it became more difficult for him to pull out for every movement. Her cunt slopping wet, clung to him, sucking him back in every time he tried to pull back. His skin was so calmy, exerting himself to keep up his strokes. Trying to keep up his strength to make her snap.

“I can feel-” he growled lowly “-how close you are. I can barely move.”

Her reply was nothing more than broken pieces of his name and begging. Her legs were beginning to shake, she was so ready to let go but she needed more. Something to completely unravel her tension.

Prying his hand from hers; his traveled to her clit as hers gripped his hair. Also clawing at his scalp, he hissed before pinching her swollen bundle of nerves. Even with how he had her pinned, she was able to arch up, pressing into him more as she let go with a scream. Her spasming walls, pulled him deeper, the helmet of his dick snuggly against her cervix. Zuko nearly collapsed on her, as she milked him making him unable to move as his release pooled inside her. Trying to rut into her, help her ride it out.

“Sunflower?” Zuko panted out softly before pulling back to look at her face. She was so dazed on the verge of passing out. He couldn’t help the smile and pride at bloomed in his chest. It took her a moment, but she gave him a soft whimper, answering him. “Go to sleep, my love.” Pressing a kiss to her forehead then slowly pulled out of her.

He left to clean himself and by the time he came back, she was pliant within her deep sleep. Humming softly as he cleaned her, wincing at her soft whimpers as he did so. Her lips were swollen and her button was overstimulated. Zuko quickly discarded the rag, blowing out candles, before crawling into bed with her. Curling her into his chest, even asleep and in the dark of the winter’s moon. His sunflower gave him warmth.

Zuko fell asleep, knowing he’d be up in a few hours for Mako, to let his queen get a good night’s sleep for the first time in months. He started to dream of their future and the possibility of more children.

Author’s Note: I forgot the name Mako was in Korra until after I was proof-reading this and I am too lazy and uncreative to get a different name. I used that name since it’s the name of the voice actor of Iroh and no other reason. 

This came out finally and sooner than I planned because I lost my job due to slow impact of COVID. But hey I’m pregnant and at this point, I’m kinda okay to have a few days to myself and just lazy about as I’ve been so sick. Milk and strawberries are my only craving and saving grace when I’m sick ahaha. Also, I wasn’t expecting it end with smut, but meh what can I say, it wrote in itself after the fluff ahha. The birth from this story is very similar to one of mine, as I’ve got two kids, for now. 

I started a side blog, off this one, to support more artist and writers. So if you love a lot of different fandoms, especially MCU, as I’m migrating back into that fandom right now. Then I recommend following it to see my favorite fics and such :) You can follow it here; @lalahreblog​

~

You don’t even know how you ended up traveling with the Gaang.

One day you had been living in a small Earth Kingdom town, helping out the Beifongs as Toph’s etiquette tutor and the next, you found yourself being tugged away from your home by the youngest Beifong. You couldn’t deny the fact that you finally felt free flying on the (abnormally cute) sky bison as you headed to who-knows-where.

You had nothing left for you back in the Earth Kingdom town you had been born in. You were the only daughter of a well-known family who had always been loyal to the Earth King. Unfortunately, they had been captured on a trip to Ba Sing Se and subsequently killed by the Fire Nation. With no family left to turn to, you proceeded to accept the Beifong’s offer to stay with them in return for you teaching Toph about high class etiquette.

Toph was an interesting girl and you found yourself being impressed with everything she did. You were always her number one supporter, especially when it came to her being The Blind Bandit. She was an extremely talented bender and in return for you tutoring her, she was your bending instructor and you became her only most promising student.

Eventually, Aang, Katara, and Sokka all filled you in about the banished Fire Nation prince and how he had chased the Gaang everywhere they had gone in an attempt to capture the Avatar. You and Toph were upset at the stories and were immediately anti-Zuko, promising to help Aang master earthbending as fast as possible.

You got along well with everyone, especially Sokka who was almost as talkative as you were. Of course the good vibes didn’t last long and you all found yourselves arguing as you found yourselves being chased by Azula and her friends. The situation had culminated in a battle at a small, abandoned town. You had arrived to see Aang being cornered by two people, each of them throwing fire towards the young Air Nomad.

Engaging with the person closest to you, you thrust your hands out, shooting a pillar of earth out and tossing the person into the closest building. Sharing a look with Aang, you waved him off. “Go! I’ll hold him off.”

“Be careful,” Aang warned, looking towards Azula uncertainly. “That’s Zuko.”

Your eyes widened as Aang ran off before turning your attention back to the boy in front of you. He struggled to get up before a burst of fire left him, sending rock debris everywhere. Quickly, you sent up another wall of earth, protecting yourself from the flying rocks before breaking it apart and sending it towards Zuko. The banished prince grunted before throwing a few fireballs towards you, causing you to stumble back and fall.

Eyes narrowing, Zuko made his way to you, pulling back his fist as fire formed around it. Groaning, you sat up, finally getting a good look at the boy in front of you. Almost immediately, a flirty smirk made it’s way onto your face. You quickly scrambled to your feet, bouncing up to him without any hesitation. You dodged his attacks, fighting back as you bit your lip.

“So...you’re Zuko?” you asked, dodging another punch. At this point, you were engaging in hand to hand combat instead of relying on your earthbending. Zuko didn’t reply, his eyes narrowing as he kept sending blasts of fire again.

“Aang told us about how you haven’t been able to capture him,” you continued, blinking innocently as Zuko became visibly angry. “But he failed to mention just how handsome you are.”

At your words, Zuko’s eyes widened and he misstepped, losing his focus at your words. You took that opportunity to step back as well before taking a strong step and raising your hands, encasing the banished prince in a slab of rock.

“Let me go!” Zuko cried out, steam coming out of his nose as he struggled. You stood in front of him, arms crossed as you stared at him. He truly was handsome, with piercing gold eyes and soft-looking black hair. You opened your mouth to speak, only to be interrupted by Sokka.

“(Y/N)! A little help here?” the Water Tribe boy yelped, narrowly dodging a blast of blue fire from Azula.

“Coming!” you replied, eyebrows furrowing in slight concern before you addressed Zuko once more. “It was real nice meeting you Prince Zuko. I hope to see you again under more pleasurable circumstances.”

With a wink, you sprinted away, jumping in front of Sokka and sending up a wall of earth as Azula struck again.  You continued to sprint around, helping out whenever called out to you. The fight came to an end when you all had Azula cornered, and you sent a brief smirk to Zuko as you saw him standing near you. “Finally made it out huh?”

He had glowered at you and you simply rolled your eyes before turning back to Azula. “The whole tough guy act is hot but something tells me you’d look better with a smile.”

You missed his surprised look as Azula shot a blast of fire towards an older man, who you later learned was Zuko’s uncle Iroh. In the ensuing chaos she escaped, and you were left with a shaken Zuko and an injured Iroh. At Zuko’s threats insistence, the five of you left, looking back at him as you flew off on Appa. It was silent for a few minutes before you finally spoke up. “So, why didn’t you guys mention that Prince Zuko is hot?”

The only sound that was heard was Sokka slapping his forehead.

~

The next time you saw Zuko was in Ba Sing Se. You had been walking around with Katara, having stayed behind with her to plan the invasion. She was talking quietly as you looked around the city, pretending to be listening to her. On your shoulder, Momo was chattering quietly, also looking around with his large eyes.

You sighed softly as you entered a cozy-looking tea shop. You looked around in appreciation before you heard Katara gasp. Quickly, she grabbed your hand and whirled around hurrying out of the shop. You felt yourself crash into someone else, losing Katara’s hand and falling to the ground. You looked at the door before looking at Momo, shaking your head at Katara’s weird behavior.

“Are you alright?” a soft voice ask. You pushed yourself up, ignoring the hand in front of you before looking up. Your eyes widened in surprise as you found yourself staring at Zuko’s uncle. Iroh, you recalled vaguely. Recognition flashed in his eyes as he looked at you, remembering you as the earthbender who had trapped his nephew. Bracing yourself for the worst possible scenario, you nodded in response to his question, holding Momo to your chest.

“Would you like a cup of tea?” the retired general asked, a warm smile on his face as he guided you to a table. “You look like a jasmine type of girl.”

Sensing no ill intentions from the smiling man, you nodded. “Jasmine happens to be my favorite.”

“I see. It is my nephew’s favorite as well,” Iroh continued, gesturing to the boy behind the counter. You smiled as you noticed Zuko standing behind the counter, his back to you as he focused on whatever he was doing. Noticing your smile at the sight of his nephew, Iroh smiled as well. “I’ll send him over to give you your tea.”

“I would greatly appreciate that,” you said, your eyes not leaving the handsome boy.

You played with Momo when Iroh left, silently speaking to the winged lemur as you waited for your tea. You placed Momo in your lap when you heard someone set down a tray on your table, looking up to see Zuko standing there. “Hey handsome.”

Zuko glanced at you, doing a double take when his eyes met yours. “Y-You!”

He grasped your hand, pulling you out of your seat and towards the back as you struggled to hold on to Momo.

“Ow! Ow! Can you stop?” you hissed, pulling your hand away from him. You placed Momo on your shoulder before rubbing your wrist. You glanced down at it, noticing how raw it looked. “You really need to learn how to control your temper Zuko.”

“What happened here?” Iroh’s asked before Zuko could speak again. He gently took your hand in his inspecting the burn before turning to his nephew. “Now Lee, is this any way to treat our customers?”

“She isn’t a customer uncle,” Zuko replied bluntly. “She’s traveling with the Avatar. She is the earthbender who fought me the day you were injured.”

“You’re the earthbender who trapped my nephew?” Iroh looked at you in surprise. You nodded, causing the older man to chuckle. “You are a very talented bender.”

You blushed at the compliment before answering, thinking about Toph. “Thank you, I was trained by the best.”

“We must get this wrapped up. Come with me,” Iroh led you to a back room, where he proceeded to get some type of salve and some wrappings. “Zuko if you could please do this for me, I’m afraid I have to get back to the customers.”

Iroh left the two of you, but not before stopping and handing Momo a few litchi nuts. Momo chittered before jumping off your shoulder, landing on a windowsill as he began eating the fruit. You glanced at the burn once more before looking back at Zuko. “You know, you just gave the term ‘too hot to handle’ a whole new meaning.”

Zuko tried to hold his blush back at your words as he sat in front of you. He grabbed your arm, applying the paste and then gathering the wrappings, beginning to tie them around your wrist.

You hissed when he tightened it a little too much, pulling away from the boy. “Ow! If I wanted you to be rough with me I would’ve told you.”

This time, Zuko could not hold his blush at your double entendre. A faint smirk appeared on your face as you began to wrap your wrist.

“Let me do it,” Zuko muttered reaching for your arm.

“No,” you replied leaning away. “Trust me I can do it myself.”

“Why are you being so difficult,” the boy groaned, lunging for the wrapping. You leaned back too far, falling onto your back as you reached out for something to grab on to. The only thing you succeeded in doing was pulling Zuko down with you.

You stared at the boy above you. “When I told you that I hope we’d meet under more pleasurable circumstances, this wasn’t what I had in mind. Not that I’m complaining.”

Zuko stuttered for a few second before deciding to scowl at you instead.

“If I had known I was interrupting, I would’ve stayed outside. Prince Zuko, I never knew you were so good with the ladies,” Iroh’s voice floated in. You sat up immediately, only succeeding in getting closer to the prince. You tried to ignore the blush that you knew was visible on your cheeks.

“I would be honored to be wooed by such an attractive man,” you said, looking up at Zuko through your eyelashes. Iroh raised an eyebrow. “Unfortunately, I simply fell back and pulled your nephew down with me.”

“Well, as an apology on his behalf from earlier, let me offer you a nice warm cup of jasmine tea,” Iroh said, setting down a tray. “On the house.”

You smiled as you pulled yourself up, leaving Zuko on the ground. “It smells delicious but I am afraid I must get going. Katara must be wondering where I am. Thank you very much for the offer.”

You bowed before whistling sharply, causing Momo to fly to your shoulder.

“My nephew will walk you out. It was nice to met you...” Iroh trailed off as he realized that he had never asked for your name.

“My name is (Y/N),” you supplied, smiling.

“A truly beautiful name,” Iroh said, stepping away from the door. “It was nice to meet you (Y/N). I hope to see you again soon. Zuko, please walk her out.”

You bowed once more before you followed Zuko back out to the store. When you reached the steps, you turned around and faced him once more. “It was nice to see you again handsome. Let’s do it again sometime.”

Zuko’s reply was lost as you stepped forward, leaning up and pressing a soft kiss to his scarred cheek. “Have a nice evening.”

Momo’s chittering was the only thing that could be heard as you walked away. Zuko stood on the steps until he could no longer see you, the blush on his cheeks only intensifying when he remembered how your lips felt pressed against his cheek.

“It seems to me that she is the one wooing you,” Iroh said, hiding a smile.

“Shut up uncle.”

~

You didn’t see the handsome prince again until you had all safely escaped to the Western Air Temple. You had been trying to talk to Aang about learning firebending when you and Toph had felt someone arriving.

“Aang, I think we should be making some plans about our future!” Sokka exclaimed, trying to get Aang to pay attention.

“Okay, we can do that while I show you the giant Pai Sho table! Oh, you're gonna love the all-day echo chamber!” the air nomad replied, already preparing to run off.

Aang came to an abrupt stop when you sent up a wall of earth in front of him.

“I think that’ll have to wait,” Toph said, turning to face the newcomer.

“Hello, Zuko here,” the prince said, raising his arms up in greeting. Immediately, everyone except you took a fighting stance. You didn’t really pay attention to most of the conversation, too busy staring at Zuko’s hair. It had grown out some and to be honest, you thought it looked really good.

“Wait,” you interrupted, stepping forward slightly. “You look really good with your hair like that. Not to say you didn’t look good before but this, wow. you’re even hotter.”

“(Y/N)!” Sokka and Katara exclaimed at the same time. Sokka pulled you back before smacking you lightly. You smacked him back, the two of you bickering nonstop. You missed Zuko’s bewildered expression, along with most of the conversation.

“There's no way we can trust you after everything you've done,” Aang spoke, catching your attention. “We'll never let you join us.”

“You need to get out of here,” Katara added, a hard expression on her face. “Now.”

Zuko looked at you, his eyes pleading.

You sighed before speaking, your arms raised in surrender. “Look, I think you’re probably the most attractive guy I’ve ever seen-”

“Hey!” Sokka cried indignantly.

You ignored him. “But to be fair, you did send an assassin after us. Not to mention everything else you’ve done. I can’t help you handsome.”

“If you won't accept me as a friend, then maybe you'll take me as a prisoner,” Zuko said, kneeling with his hands out. You looked at Katara, a suggestive smirk on your face.

“(Y/N), stop,” she sighed before turning back to Zuko and bending some water. “No, we won't! Get out of here, and don't come back! And if we ever see you again, well, we'd better not see you again!”

Zuko bowed his head and turned to walk away, glancing back once more. For once, you didn’t meet his eyes.

~

“Has anyone seen Toph,” you asked as you rushed into the courtyard. “I haven’t seen her since yesterday.”

“I haven’t seen her since she stormed off yesterday,” Sokka said, polishing his sword.

“Maybe we should go look for her,” Katara said, noticing your distress.

“We’ll look for her!” The Duke said, rushing off with Haru and Teo.

You whirled around when you heard a loud rumble, only to see a gaping hole in the wall. Toph tumbled out of it, her eyes wide.

“Toph!” you exclaimed, wrapping her up in a hug. “What happened?”

“My feet got burned,” she replied, pushing you off of her.

Her feet were an angry red and you felt your anger rise up as you realized who had done it. “The next time I see Zuko I swear to the spirits that I will-”

“It was an accident,” Toph interrupted you, placing a hand on your arm. You bit your lip as Sokka carried her over to the fountain.

“Ah that’s the stuff,” Toph said, closing her eyes as she dipped her feet in. Soka opened his mouth to say something only to be cut off by an explosion. Being the closest to the source, you were flung back, metal and stone landing on top of you.

“(Y/N)!” you heard Aang yell as everyone else ran away.

“I’m fine!” you called back. “Go I’ll be okay.”

You bended as much earth as you could away from you, only to still be stuck when you realized you couldn’t move the metal.

“We have to get (Y/N),” Toph said, worriedly grabbing onto Katara.

“We will. Hold on,” Sokka said, staring at the blasts Combustion Man was sending their way. After a few more blasts, he was able to tell where he was and aimed his boomerang. The boomerang met it’s mark and they all ran out, Sokka and Toph immediately going over to you.

“I can’t believe I’m saying this, but thanks Zuko,” Aang spoke softly.

“Hey! What about me?” Sokka asked, helping you up. Your leg was injured but luckily nothing had been broken. Sokka was fussing over you, looking at the nasty bruise that had been left from the metal and you were trying to push him away, claiming that you didn’t need his help.

“...I’d like for you to teach me,” Aang’s words gained yours and Sokka’s attention. Zuko bowed.

“Thank you. I’m so happy you’ve accepted me into your group.”

“Not so fast,” Aang said. “I still have to ask my friends if it's okay with them. Toph, you're the one that Zuko burned. What do you think?”

“Go ahead and let him join,” Toph said as the pounded her fist into her palm. “It'll give me plenty of time to get back at him for burning my feet.”

“Sokka?” Aang asked.

“Hey, all I want is to defeat the Fire Lord,” the Water Tribe Boy shrugged. “If you think this is the way to do it, then, I'm all for it.“

“Katara?”

“I'll go along with whatever you think is right,” she said simply, glaring at Zuko.

“What about you (Y/N)?” Aang asked, already knowing what your answer would be.

“You’re telling me I’m going to have to see him every day?” you asked, gesturing towards Zuko. “That sounds like a dream come true.”

“Thank you,” Zuko said, redder than a tomato. “I won’t let you down.”

“I’m sure you won’t,” you replied. Groans were heard from everyone else.

~ “Come on (Y/N)!” Toph yelled at you. “Do it!”

You stared at the metal in front of you, trying to concentrate on it. You were in the courtyard, a few days after Combustion Man’s downfall. Zuko and Aang were firebending a few feet away from where Toph was trying to teach you how to metalbend. Ever since you had gotten trapped, she had been insistent on teaching you.

With a loud huff, you closed your eyes. You reached out focuising as much as you could and turning the pieces of metal in front of you into smooth, shiny balls. You opened your eyes when you heard clapping, turning to see Aang cheering softly for you. Zuko stood behind him, shirtless.

“That wasn’t so hard now, was it?” Toph taunted, bending the balls of metal back into scraps. “Do it again. This time concentrate harder. I don’t know why you’re so distracted today.”

“You don’t know why I’m distracted?” you said turning to face Aang and Zuko. “Prince Handsome over here is training shirtless and you expect me to not be distracted by that?”

“I don’t get distracted by that,” Toph countered.

“Of course not,” you said, facing her again. “You’re blind.”

Aang snickered and Zuko coughed as he tried to choke back his laughter.

“Do it again,” Toph barked. “Zuko come stand next to me.”

Zuko complied and crossed his arms as he stood next to Toph. You found yourself blushing lightly as you stared at the way his arms flexed before focusing on the metal once more. You struggled for a few minutes, feeling Zuko’s eyes on you. You glanced at him once more, watching his arms flex once again as he shifted in place. Looking up at his face, you saw him already looking at you, a smirk on his face.

You looked back at the metal trying not to look at the prince again. He knew exactly what he was doing to you.

~

It wasn’t until Ember Island that you got to spend more time around Zuko. After the day Toph had made him stand next to her as she trained you, you made sure to train as far as you could possibly get from the prince. That didn’t stop you from flirting with him every other chance you had though, always commenting on how you couldn’t train around him because he made you flustered.

Your comments seemed to make him equally, if not more, flustered.

The day you guys went to see the play, you had sat next to him, intertwining your fingers when the lights went off. He had stiffened up, an unreadable look on his face when he felt your hand in his. Thinking he had been uncomfortable, you pulled back your hand, only to blush when he pulled it back towards him this time taking it upon himself to intertwine your fingers.

Your hands remained intertwined for the rest of the play, even when you exited the private box for the intermission. You didn’t miss the smug looks from everyone else and while Zuko blushed, you had simply leaned up and pressed a kiss to his cheek the same way you had back in Ba Sing Se.

When the second half of the play started, you proceeded to lean on Zuko, nestling your head in the crook of his neck. His heart racing, Zuko disconnected your hands before wrapping his arm around your waist and pulling you in closer. You closed your eyes as you leaned into him, enjoying the warmth that seemed to radiate from him.

~

The next few days were spent watching Aang and Zuko training as you lounged around the beach house. You spent most of your time with Toph as she kept drilling metalbending into you until you could do it with your eyes closed.

A few nights before Sozin’s comet, you found yourself sitting on the roof of the house, staring up at the moon. You jumped slightly when you felt someone sitting next to you, the warmth emitting from them telling you it was Zuko.

“What are you doing up so late?” he asked, his eyes never leaving you.

“I could ask you the same thing,” you hummed, still looking at the moon. You looked at him to see him scowling. “I couldn’t sleep so I came out here to look at the moon.”

“Sokka’s first girlfriend turned into the moon,” Zuko said, fidgeting under your gaze.

“That’s rough,” you said, looking back up.

It was silent for a few minutes before Zuko spoke up again. “Why do you like teasing me so much?”

You looked at him, bewildered. “Teasing you?”

“Yeah,” Zuko said, turning to face you. “All the compliments and the kisses and everything. Why?”

“It’s called flirting, Prince Zuko,” you said with a smile. “People typically do it when they’re attracted to or like somebody.”

“So why do you do it to me?”

You stared at him in disbelief, wondering if he was joking or if he was truly that oblivious. “Because I like you!”

Zuko’s eyes widened in surprise at your words. “You like me?”

“I thought you knew! I thought that’s why you kept flexing the day Toph kept trying to get me to metalbend,” you hissed poking his arm.

“I was joking around,” Zuko replied, swatting your hand away. “I thought you saying I was distracting you was a joke so I kept flexing to tease you.”

“Well you did tease me,” you mumbled. “Just not in the way you’re thinking of.”

“So,” Zuko said, not meeting your eyes. “You really like me?”

You rolled your eyes before leaning forwards, pressing a firm kiss to his lips. His eyes widened in shock before he closed them, his hand reaching up to cup your face as he melted into the kiss. You pulled back and giggled as his lips chased yours, pecking him once more before leaning back. “Does that answer your question?”

Zuko nodded quickly before grabbing your hand. “I like you too.”

You smiled as you shuffled closer to him. “Good. I’d be pretty upset if you didn’t.”

You gasped lightly as Zuko pressed his lips back to yours, sliding his arms around your waist and pulling you into his lap. Your arms wound around his neck, hands tangling in his hair as you eagerly kissed back. Zuko pulled away first, a chuckle escaping him.

“What?” you asked leaning your head against his shoulder.

“I can’t believe uncle was right,” he replied. At your questioning gaze, he explained.

“You did end up wooing me.”

AHAHAHAHAAHHHH i hope this is good i spent a lot of time on this one and i’m not too proud of it but i hope you enjoy <3

HIRAETH  (zuko x reader)  CH.1

Summary: fireman captured and is confused

CH.1 CH.2  CH.3 CH.4 CH.5

Zuko couldn’t remember a thing. All he knows is that it’s dark and cold, extremely cold. Every time he’d draw in a breath he felt like his lungs were being pierced by icicles. The place reminded him of the ‘Cooler’ from the Boiling Rock prison.

He’d wondered how long he’d been here for. Zuko remembered falling in and out of consciousness ever since he’d gotten here so he didn’t really trust the timeline he was trying to construct in his head. This is what he had so far: 

Being with Sokka in an odd water tribe village, it was the middle of the day and the sun was out but Zuko remembered still feeling no warmth. That’s the thing he hated about most water tribes.

Sokka had turned around to look at what some merchant was selling.

Sokka started to bargain with the merchant.

Then things started to get foggy and Sokka had brought him to another booth.

Two more booths and everything seemed to get fuzzy.

That’s 5 things. 

Great. 

Zuko was growing tired of being chained up, his wrists were growing numb. The pole he was tied to was digging into his back. He tried melting them with bending since he thought they might’ve been ice but that didn’t work. Wow the prince of the Fire Nation can’t melt ice, shocking.

Zuko groaned for what felt like the fiftieth time and finally came to the conclusion that bending was not helping. 

He decided to do something that could actually help him, look around. From what he could gather the walls were caving in around him. He guessed he was tied up in the middle of the room because he couldn’t see the back of it. There were no windows and it felt stuffy. His eyes were slowly adjusting to the dark and he began to notice even more things. Piles of papers were strewn on the floor, maps, notes, some were pages ripped out from history books. Used candles were all over the floor and puddles of ink could be found each time Zuko found crumpled up paper and a broken writing brush. Some things were hung onto the walls with ice picks, it took him awhile to make them out but when he finally did his heart sank. 

Wanted posters. 

There were wanted posters of Aang, Toph, Sokka, Katara, Appa, there was even one of his uncles except it was ripped like the other half was missing or something. And lots of others, though he either couldn’t make them out or didn’t recognize the faces.  Zuko looked to the other side of the room and started to feel more dread setting in. 

He found the other half of his uncle’s wanted poster. It was his picture, an old one but still his(oh spirits,,, who let him walk around with that haircut). A big circle of ink surrounded it along with a bunch of arrows pointed at his face. If things couldn’t get any shittier another huge arrow pointed towards another picture of him. Well not necessarily of him but the Blue Spirit. In big messy lettering, it read, “THE SAME”. 

If it wasn’t so obvious Zuko would have guessed that he probably pissed this person off to a great extent. He got to thinking, who’s he angered lately? He sighed, he hated how long the list was. 

He tried turning around to the best of abilities to get a look at the rest of the place. A table sat in the corner of the room. It was the same thing, notes, books, and bottles of ink. It was weird this time though, everything was neatly stacked and put in the right place. It was completely different from what was in front of him. He wondered what was written on the papers, it must have been different than the rest because the handwriting looked much neater. It was such a contrast that Zuko was starting to wonder if more than one person had captured him. If that was true, his luck just got worse. 

Did he break a mirror or something? Honestly, what had he done to deserve this? Sure Zuko had hunted the avatar for a while but did something like that deserve this much punishment?

Zuko was sure it’d been hours already, he soon started to realize how weak he was and the cold wasn’t helping. He wouldn’t be able to get out of here even if he tried. He could only hope that when he woke up he’d feel a little bit stronger. Come to think of it, Zuko hadn’t really slept well in a while. Trying to sleep on a flying bison’s back while 1,000 feet above the ground is scarier than it sounds.

And with that Zuko fell asleep.

Y/N didn’t know if it was because she’d lived in the cold for so long but today felt warmer than usual. The marketplace was extremely crowded today, more than usual. She kept looking at the wall of wanted posters and huffed, maybe today would be different.

She never realized how hard catching criminals would be, though like any normal functioning person it wasn’t something she’d thought about frequently before all of this. None of the people on the wall seemed to have a high enough bidding. Once she’d visited General Lee she was sure she had found someone of value, he had a huge bounty over his head and no one had come even close to capturing him. He hadn’t even given her the time of day. The next she’d brought a Fire Nation traitor, accused of aiding the Avatar. Y/N was sure she’d succeeded this time. But, again, nothing. She’d promised herself that she’d never give up on her people but things were getting hopeless. 

Then, something changed. She never knew she’d be so happy to have run into a swamp village and had fainted at the sight of an elbow leech. She’d found who she was going to hunt down . . . Prince Zuko. He was perfect. Oldest son of the Firelord, held a high status, and she’d overheard soldiers speak about how he was a traitor and let everyone down (she then found a wanted poster to prove it). There were basically no cons to him, he was flawless. 

On the plus side she was sure the General would get his rocks off at even the thought of delivering someone so important. He’d probably get some honor badge too. 

Too bad she let him slip through her fingers the first time. That was one of Y/N biggest regrets. 

Y/N’s face grew dull. It didn’t matter, she hadn’t made any progress and wasn’t any closer to capturing him. 

Capturing a Prince is much easier said than done. 

It didn’t make any sense to her, it’s like he'd fallen off the face of the Earth. Usually she’d been hearing about him left and right, from stray Fire Nation soldiers in villages, stories about how once again he’d nearly captured and killed the avatar, but then things just went silent. Y/N hadn’t heard anything from anyone in weeks. Sometimes she’d ask people and their faces would just pull a blank like they’d never heard of him in the first place, other times they’d just straight up get defensive, telling her it wasn’t her place to be asking such things. She didn’t try to think about it too much. A lack of information wasn’t going to bring her down now, she was running out of time. 

Hopefully, the general hadn’t flaked out on her yet, it had been a while since she’d brought someone to him.

Now that she thought about it maybe it wasn’t such a great idea to trust a fire nation general to keep his word. Maybe she should just try and jump him and--OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!!!!

Was Y/N dreaming? She had to be. Things couldn’t be this easy, they just couldn’t be. 

There stood Prince Zuko, almost awkwardly might Y/N add, next to a booth with a merchant selling handmade bags. He was just standing there without a care in the world. It almost made her mad how nonchalant he was being. Y/N really doesn’t want to complain but she thought this would just be a little bit more dramatic.

She moved from the alleyway and moved closer to them, luckily enough the booth next to theirs sold mirrors. 

“Hey Y/N,” Yao spoke. 

“Yeah, uh hey.” Y/N half smiled, not really paying attention.

Yao was the daughter of the merchant who sold the mirrors at the booth, he’d been sick lately so Y/N had been seeing more of her. She didn’t like the circumstances but she did have to admit it was nice seeing a face her age.

“D’you hear about the avatar being here? Guess the rumour about him being dead was bull.” 

“Yeah, yeah I heard. Probably why there are so many people out today,” Y/N said.

“Yuppp, not one person wants to buy mirrors though.” Yao crosses her arms and frowns. 

Y/N laughs, she knew how much she didn’t like the job but she couldn’t not do it, her father needed her to. That’s one of the things she liked about her, Yao wasn’t very selfish. 

She felt guilty about only half listening to her about her day but she had to keep an eye on the Prince and whoever he was with. She kept glancing at them through the mirrors in a way she thought wasn’t too suspicious, but she was obviously proven wrong when Yao spoke up about it.

“He’s cute isn’t he?” Yao smirked, she was whispering now so they wouldn’t overhear.

“Wha-”

“The one with the scar,” She said.

Y/N half nodded, “I guess so.”

“He’s with the avatar too apparently. It’s weird though, he looks so familiar.” Y/N didn’t say anything to that. It’s not like she could tell her she was Fire Lord Ozai’s son.

She was so nervous, he was standing right there, right next to her, barely even five feet away. Though surprisingly Yao didn’t take her nervous silence as the ‘omg I have to kidnap a guy right next to me’ type of silence.

“Don’t worry, Y/N. I’m more into the guy with the ponytail anyway,” She said. 

Y/N laughs and rolls her eyes.

They both talked for a few more seconds until Y/N noticed the two leaving the booth. She waved goodbye to Yao and continued following them.

She started to realize the guy with the ponytail really liked to shop. She swore she nearly laughed every time the guy would drag the Prince around to another booth, he looked so out of place. 

Before she could make fun of him some more Y/N had found her opening. 

Zuko had asked the ponytail boy for a sip of water from his canteen. This was it. Y/N waterbended some of her medicine and went out to walk in front of the booth they were at. She purposely bumped into him rather harshly and slipped a little bit of the medicine into the flask while he was distracted.

“Sorry,” Y/N mumbled.

“It’s--” But she had already gone. 

Now all she had to do was wait a little bit longer. 

|

|

Y/N couldn’t believe things turned out to be this easy. Things went so smoothly it was almost scary. 

She’d sedated him successfully, snatched him up from under his friends nose, managed to get out of a crowded village with an unconscious boy hanging on her shoulder and get home in just a couple of hours. Now all she had to do was write to General Lee telling him she’d found someone and give him Prince Zuko. 

Yeah, this’ll work.

Y/N put down her writing brush and dragged her hands down her face. If she kept thinking about how well things were going she was sure to jinx herself. 

She stepped away from her desk and paced around the room. He had woken up in a while, maybe the dosage she’d given him was too much. 

She stopped her pacing and stood in front of him. She pushed away some loose notes and made herself a small spot on the floor to sit on. 

His scar was what kept her from looking away from him. You really couldn’t miss it, it was pinkish till around the center, where the hue changed to a deeper red. It looked a little bit rough looking too, like if she were to drag her fingers along it would feel bumpy and coarse. 

Whatever caused so much damage must have hurt badly. It didn’t look ugly on him though, surprisingly. It wasn’t repulsing in any way at all, it shocked her how much she kept looking at it. Y/N thought it was a little bit mesmerizing even. 

Suddenly, Zuko had stirred. 

Y/N had felt a rush of adrenaline, and a sense of hope.

The prince met her eyes and gasped. The chains clattered when his back hit the pole.

“Finally,” she said. 

“Uh, hello?” He took a deep breath and scowled when Y/N took a step closer. 

“Who are you--” He tried to ask.

“I really don’t think that’s important,” Y/N answered. 

Zuko fell silent for a second and kept his eyes on her. He was clearly confused; it was written all over his face, it was almost laughable. Y/N watched him while he furrowed his brows and let his frown grow bigger, she wondered if he was going to try and use his firebending and fight her. Honestly, she was a bit scared. She’d never seen him fight before and she didn’t doubt that the Prince of the Fire Nation wouldn’t be skilled. 

“What do you want from me?” He demanded. 

“Well there's a lot to it, but I guess I could cut the story short so we don’t waste any more time.” 

Y/N waterbended the ice holding Zuko up and turned them back into water. 

“You’re my ticket to revenge.”

‘A classic’- Zuko x female!reader

Masterlist <3

An: GOOD DAY FRIENDS. Wow, school is hard. Not fun :( but during the past week or so, I’ve gained a good amount of followers and I am so happy! Anyways, here’s the ‘there was only one bed’ trope because there are not enough Zuko fics with this trope. Also, would y’all be interested in a Social media au? If I could come up with an idea?

Summary:

2 teenagers, 1 bed, need I say more?

Warnings: Just two kids and a small bed, Zuko gets pinned under reader,(still not smut), Sokka has a suggestive idea.

Maybe if you had pleaded to share with Katara, you wouldn’t have ended up here, in a small hut, with one bed left, and a flustered firebender next to you.

In your defense, you had expected to share with Aang, who ended up sharing with Toph.

So now, you and Zuko stared blankly at the bed.

“I can take the floor,” The former prince said, glancing at you.

You both looked to the ground, which was just disgusting, littered with dust, scraps, and hairs - surely no one could sleep there!

You moved to get on the bed, and noticed Zuko sweeping the ground with his shoe - making space for him to sleep.

“You were serious?”

When you motioned with your hand for him to join you, the poor guy looked like a deer in headlights.

You smiled softly as he rounded the bed, and appeared at the other side. You took the right side of the bed, and he took the left.

You both laid looking in opposite directions, completely uncomfortable and flustered.

Then you felt flailing.

Apparently, Zuko rolled off of the bed.

You sat up quickly, only to find him on the ground, rubbing his head.

A hand flew to cover your mouth, muffling your laughs.

“Are you okay?” you did your best not to giggle, but anything is hilarious at this time of night.

“Yeah, I guess,” he rolled his eyes.

You pushed off the sheets and got up, helping him to his feet.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes, Y/n, I’m sure,”

And with that, you both returned to bed.

Zuko was sure he wasn’t going to get any sleep, so he opted to just stare at the ceiling, however, You got knocked out pretty fast. You turned over, body facing the firebender, your head falling on to the tip of Zuko’s shoulder. His face turned bright red, but soon softened at your shaking figure - you were cold, and drawn to the heat. He carefully slid an arm around you, pulling you closer. Instantly, you relaxed into him, sliding an arm onto his chest, and tangling your legs. He would be lying if he didn’t say this was his happiest moment. Although Zuko didn’t expect to fall asleep, he had the best rest he has had in a while.

--

You were slowly gaining consciousness, digging your face further into your pillow. You heard a soft groan come from the pillow, no wait, ZUKO?!

You pulled your face back immediately letting go of him.

“Sorry, I thought you were a pillow.” you laughed awkwardly as you sat up, before you realised he was still asleep.

He shuffled a bit, before wrapping his arms around your waist, and nuzzling his face into your side.

Your brain malfunctioned, maybe you could stay in bed a little longer? You played with his hair as he snored softly.

“Y/n,” he mumbled sleepily against you, his breath tickling your sides.

“Morning sleepy.”

He mumbled something incoherent before nuzzling his head back into your side. You let out a giggle, and that’s when Zuko realised.

He shot back so fast, he almost fell off the bed, thankfully, you pulled him before he could.

“S-sorry.” he scratched his neck awkwardly.

“Don’t apologise, it was cute. You’re cute.”

He stared in shock as pink tinted the tips of his ears and stretched across his face.

You smiled at his state, placing your face right in front of his.

“Are you blushing?” you smirked.

But before you knew it, he closed the distance. His lips felt soft and desperate against yours. You wrapped your arms around his neck,tangling them with his hair, and he pulled you into his lap.

You both separated after a few seconds, panting and staring at each other longingly.

But before the moment could evolve, you heard Sokka stirring from his sleep - thankfully, no one witnessed that.

You and Zuko split, and went about your day, packing up to leave this location for the next.

--

“Oh, I can grab the hay, be right back!” you yelled, as you went to grab Appa’s leftovers.

As you made your way behind the hut, you hummed a gentle tune.

Footsteps. Footsteps behind you. Your breath hitched, and as soon as they were close enough, you tackled them to the ground, pinning them beneath you.

“Zuko?” You questioned, forgetting to move off of him.

“Hi,”

“Why were you following me?”

“I wanted to talk to you.” he looked away suspiciously.

“Okay, well go ahead,”

“About earlier, I just wanted to ask if this means you like me back?” he mumbled extremely quickly.

You neared your face to his again.

“Yes Zuko, it means I like you back,” you smiled.

Then you crashed your lips onto his, having a sweet kiss on the dirt.

“WHAT IN APPA’S LEFTOVER HAY IS GOING ON HERE?”

You broke the kiss to look at Sokka, who looked horrified.

Then you realized you had Zuko pinned under you.

“WAIT SOKKA!”

An:*clown music plays*. Honestly, surprised I’m haven’t I written this earlier but uh here we are: there was only one bed. As always, hope you enjoyed this story, SEE YA! <3

Health Class

Okay so I’m back with another Zuko x reader. I’m just going to say this one made me cry. I used some real life experience (not that’s it’s as bad as this it just my mom went though something similar) but just a heads up not everyone is suitable to read this one cover some heavy topics.

Tiggers: Angst and abortion (let me know if I missed something).

Word count: 1.3k

“Okay class today we have a new project that’ll last for two weeks” your teacher boomed across the room.

The teacher started stating some basic information about the project. You weren’t paying attention until she said something that caught your attention.

“Okay now to know your exact project is called the BABY PROJECT”.

Everyone in the room, which included you, Katara, Sokka, Suki, Zuko, Aang, and Toph. Why only you guys, well that’s because fighting in the war doesn’t actually gain you the information you need in the world. For instance basic math skills or how to write an important document. So Iroh and Hakoda decided that you guys will go to school for however long until all of you were caught up to speed. Okay now back to why that caught your attention was because while you lived with Zuko on the boat searching for Aang something horrible happened. You fell pregnant at the age of 15. You and Zuko didn’t know what to do, on one hand you wanted to keep the baby and the other lose it.

Flashback:

You and Zuko were pacing around the small compact room.

“Zuko there’s a war going on and we’re looking for the Avatar that’s not a healthy environment to raise a baby. Also your Father would be furious if he founded out”

“Like I don’t know that, but that’s are CHILD we created I’m already attached to them, I know it’s for the best but it pains my heart to never meet them”

Later that same day the boat docked and the pair of teens secretly walked to the small hut located at the village they docked at. A small cloud over their heads. Occasionally stopping to look at the small bump on the female's stomach. The male resting his hand on top.

“What should we name our first child, even though we’ll never meet them? I want our first child to have a name so they know we love them and wish it didn’t have to be like this.”

“Kazuto'' means first . I think it fits perfectly for our child”.

So with that you guys finally reached the small hut. Walking inside you tried to hold back tears, but couldn’t, neither could the boy by you.

“Dear what can I do for you?” the old woman said with a kind smile. After explaining the situation to her, she led both the young teens into a back room. She left to get her supplies and for the teens to say their goodbyes to their unborn child.

After a while of being there the teens left, three people entered, but one would never leave. The two walked around town looking at the pasting scenery. Good thing for them that this was a small Fire Nation community that allowed the Prince to dock here. So they found a lonely tree in the outskirts of the village and built a small memorial there for their unborn child. Tying a small yellow ribbon on it so others know to not mess with it.

“At least this village allows me here, so each year we can come back and see our child” Zuko hummed to you with his arms around you.

The rest of the day leading into night you and Zuko laid by the tree where your son's memory will live on. Just talking about what life would have been like if they were able to have their child. Eventually falling asleep by each other. Never hearing the soft steps of Iroh walking over to them with a blanket.

“I wish you guys would have to experience losing a child, but this will only bring you closer and teach you a life lesson. Please little one if you hear me, please protect your parents. Know that they love you tremendously and want to hold you more than anything in this whole world. Hmmm...your name is Kazuto fitting. I bet my nephew picked that out. Well I’m your great uncle Iroh or you can call me Grandpa if you want.”

If people were to walk by they'd think a crazy old man was talkng to a tree with two teens asleep by him. But, little did they know he could see the spirits and right now he was talking to the boy that never got to make it into the real world. After a few hours passed and the sun was rising.

“Well young one if you ever need to talk to me, just appear. But, best if I get your parents back to the dock and we keep on with our journey.”

Soon the group of three made it back to the boat and continued with their mission. Never forgetting the person they’ll have to leave behind for now.

A year later right after the encounter with General Zhao. A boat pulled back to the small village they came to last year. Only a group of people knew why.

“We’re close, baby. We’re doing this for you. Happy first Birthday our baby boy”

End of Flashback:

After explaining everything, the teacher paired everyone up.

Y/N and Zuko

Katara and Aang

Sokka, Suki, and Toph

After the school day ended the teacher called over you and Zuko. They apparently knew about what happened and told you guys if you didn’t feel comfortable doing it you didn’t need to. Surprisingly you both were on board with the project. Sharing the same thought “we can see now it would have been like if Kazuto was born.” The two week project was started.

“Hey Zuko let’s names them Kazuto”

“Agreed”

At first you and Zuko were so into it. Until nighttime.

Laying down on the bed with the fake baby in between them, a silent sob was heard.

“Why do I think I could do this, it feels like he’s right here with us. I miss him so much. Zuko, Zuko I don’t think I can do this anymore. I didn’t even last a day.”

“Honey I feel the same way, but it does feel nice to act as though this baby right here is Kazuto right now. He is three right now though and not a newborn”. Zuko let put a pained chuckle

These two week were going to be hard. Fortunately the whole gaang knew about what happened so they were a big help. By the end you knew if Kazuto was born we would have been a good mother, also Zuko. Today was the last day and you were already missing acting like a mother.

“Zuko after we’re done with school, let’s make Kazuto a new sibling. I’m ready to have a baby. We live in a healthy environment so it’ll be perfect” you whisper to Zuko while running your hands through his hair during lunch.

“I've been thinking the same thing, I've been wanting to try again, even though they’ll never replace our Kazuto.”

Fast forward four years…

“Izumi stop running down the halls. Would your big brother like to know you got hurt”

“No mommy, I’m sorry...anyways can we go visit him”

After agreeing with the small child. You guys arrived at the shrine that was built in the palace for Kazuto. Izumi was just chatting away to her brother about her day. It was just like he was right next to you. Little did you know he was sitting in front of you just listening to his baby sister while watching his mother content. A smile never leaving his face.

“I can’t wait to actually meet you guys. I always been watching over you like grandpa asked. So keep waiting and tell papa I love him too. I love you guys”.

As you were sitting with your daughter you heard a distance voice. One you've been hearing for years now, the voice of your son.

“I will Kazuto” your daughter hearing you say that and asking if you heard her brother also. You nodded making the young girl run away yelling ”I love you” back to her dear brother.

“I can’t wait”

Okay so now time for Spanish word of the day: primero (first)

Also some sad news didn’t make the soccer team...because of my injury that I have

Could I possibly get some Prince Zuko Headcanons with a Plus Sized Reader? Fluffy please?

Yes! Love me some Zuko and I know he'd like a chubby s/o too

~~~~~~~~

• Rarely did he let anyone in but you were an exception.

• Something about you and the way you held your own had drawn him to you.

• You were a fighter but your soft and plump figure had him blushing and admiring you whenever he faced you.

• The day you broke though his tough exterior he had a rough day and took it out on everyone.

• Instead of pushing him away you tried even harder to get near him.

• You gave him some tough love pulled him by the ear and forced him to sit down and talk about what's wrong with his head in your pillowy lap.

• He looked away flustered trying to keep his eyes away from you.

• You only laughed softly and and played with his locks. He looked at you when when he heard you laugh and didnt know whether to kiss you or ask you what's so funny.

• You teased him about something only for him to respond back trying to keep his ground but getting tongue tied on his words and failing.

• He already forgets whats got him so worked up and it makes your heart swell.

• You lean in close kissing his cheek, he stops processing with blushing ears.

• Pulling you into a hug squeezing your soft form once then huffing in defeat as he holds you.

Hey, could I get a sfw & nsfw ATLA matchup✨?

I’m 18 y/o but look younger than my age (about 15/16 lol), am 5‘3, my pronouns are she/her and I’m straight

I‘m mixed (🇩🇪/🇰🇪)

My mbti type is ISFP, enneagram 6w5 and my zodiac sign is Capricorn

Personality wise I’d say I’m an introvert. I have a hard time opening up to people (especially in groups) and therefore come off as very quiet, moody, secretive and mysterious, because I observe the people around me before interacting. But when it comes to 1 to 1 conversations people I have an easier time showing my true colors and they see that I’m in fact a nice and to an extend nurturing person, who has a dry sense of humor and sees the best in others. I’m also the kind of person who is very good at reading people and notices things others don’t. My negative traits are that I’m sometimes too insecure, harsh and critical towards myself and that I’m ticklish af lol.

In my free time I love to sing and listen to music. Next to that I am an astrology fan and love talking about zodiacs from time to time. I also have a love for theatre.

My ideal love language from my s/o would be words of affirmations or quality time. For me I’d say that I would give my s/o a love language fitting to his personality. I wouldn’t want to step over his boundaries, be too clingy or annoy him. In general I would want to make sure that my s/o feels safe, supported and secure when he’s around me.

hii thanks for the request!

your ATLA match up is...ZUKO!!!

- Pretty similar to you, both Zuko & Mai are reserved and give off the same energy as you. Since Zuko is into the moody and mysterious Mai we thought why not pair you up with him! He would totally be into the fact that you keep your softer side for him and not for too many other people. Your sense of humor is also a plus point.

- Most people are too scared to go near Zuko and with your perception skills you can tell he is a good boi.

- In private he would totally tickle you till you cry. Mans is a bit of a sadist

- Zuko would lay down on your lap and listen to your singing <3

- Unfortunately he wouldn’t really understand astrology but he’ll still listen with a confused look on his face.

- He’d really appreciate boundaries mostly for when he goes off and does his own thing. But he’d make sure that when he returns he showers you with affection.

yours tickleishly,

Aang cheered as Zuko released him from training for the day. Zuko was deep in thought, wandering back towards the beach house. They arrived late in the afternoon yesterday, after Zuko suggested it. Hiding at his family beach house, where no one has truly stayed in years. After his field trip with Katara last week, everyone seemed more comfortable together. That is all, but ___. He sighed. “Hey Zuko, what’s on your mind?” Katara asked as he entered the yard where Katara was hanging laundry. Zuko glanced around a bit, making sure ___ wasn’t around. “I’m just still worried; about ___. Everyone has seemed to forgive me and trust me to a point. So why can’t I win her forgiveness and trust again?” “Well, you did a lot of things, for a lot of us, it was forgiving direct conflict we had with you in the past. Chasing us everywhere. But for her, you broke her heart. It’s not just friendship that needs to be healed and forgiven, it’s a loss of love too.” “But I never stopped loving her, maybe if I tell her, and explain. It’ll be easier for her to fully make a decision. Whether that’s accepting me back or at least being my friend.” “Maybe, she doesn’t know Mai was just an arranged marriage. There is a chance she could come to a decision faster, if she knows the whole truth. You’ve changed, but your heart hasn’t.” She gave him a hopeful smile and he just sighed, unsure of this plan. “She’s at the beach, I sent her to relax to make sure she’s not stressing herself or the child. She goes to the tide pools, and sits in the water, so she’s able to be alone as everyone else in the ocean or on the sand. Which is just how she’s liked it lately. But I don’t think she took lunch,” Katara grabbed some food and wrapped it up before giving it to Zuko. “Now you have a reason to go, without her getting too mad.” Zuko gave her a small smirk before heading down to his love.

As he got closer, he could hear the water, and took a deep breath before coming out into the open. Her back was to him, feet in the water. As he approached, the noise of crunching sand giving him away. “Hey,” she said, her voice was barely a whisper. He didn’t expect her to talk to him. He stopped where he was, about 2 paces from her. Steadying his nerves before walking over and sitting down next to her, an arm length away. He placed the food in between them. He took off his sandals then put his feet in the tide pool with her. Zuko leaned back on his palms and stared up at the blue sky. “I brought you some food. Katara said you didn’t bring a lunch with you.” She looked at the cloth bag between them before picking it up and opening it. “Thank you for bringing it. You didn’t have to. I was going to go back up soon.” She brought a rice ball to her mouth and nibbled on it. “Well, I can walk back with you.” She didn’t reply, glanced at him briefly before setting her eyes back on the waves. “Can I talk to you?” His voice was gentle as he leaned forward a bit to be able to see her face more. “About what?” There was a small edge to her voice, but she sighed softly, her eyes seemed to waver, as she pondered. “Well, I want to tell you something. Because everyone seems to be okay with me now, besides you. And I know I hurt you more than anyone else. But I also haven’t talked to you at all, not personally or alone.” “Why does that matter?” She huffed then pulled her feet out of the water, he was worried she was going to leave, but exhaled in relief as she curled up in a ball, the best she could at least, with her belly in the way. “Because I love you and the life growing inside you, that has never changed, you know? I am responsible for it. I know there’s a high chance you’ll never forgive me.” He sat more toward, resting his elbows on his knees, looking at his hands. As he fixated on the lines and details of his hands, ___ turned to look at him a bit. “But I want to at least be your friend again. I can’t ask more of you, not after everything I’ve done. I understand if you don’t want me to be a part of the child’s life, at least not as a father. I would at least like to get to know them, see them occasionally, someday.” He sighed heavily, looking up at the horizon, he carried so much sorrow in his gaze, it caused her heart to swell painfully. “I want you to know, I love you. And I’ve never loved anyone but you, at least in that way. The woman you saw in the Fire Nation, she was engaged to me, but it was arranged by my father. I was too scared to decline the arrangement, scared to no longer be the perfect prince and son he wanted. I was a coward and it all turnout to be for not. I gave my father a piece of mind during the eclipse. I went to free Uncle, but he had already done so, by himself. “I then knew I needed to follow my new found destiny, to help the Avatar defeat my father and bring peace to the world. The joy I felt when you were still with him, was undeniable. I planned to find you, after teaching Aang. But you are here, and I’m so glad you are. Because now, I can be near you, even if you don’t want me to be, I can try to earn some forgiveness.” Zuko finally looked over at her. Her eyes were trained on the water, rippling from his movements. But the flow of emotion was there, she was taking in his words. He waited to see if she would say anything as her mouth opened a few times. He internalized his sigh, as to not discourage anything brewing in her. He took the pressure off her to say anything by looking at the water too.

An hour or so had passed, the silence between them was the first peace Zuko had felt in his entire time with the group. Zuko lied back in the sand, allowing himself to relax further. “You still love me?” She whispered, her voice sounded so broken, he bolted into an upright position. “I’ve never stopped.” She was still curled up, there was so much pain in her eyes, tears were threatening to fall from her leer at the water. Zuko was hesitant but he reached across the space between them to cup her cheek, running a thumb under her eye, tenderly. Slowly her eyes met his. “I’ve never stopped loving you. I never will. And if there is any chance, you might return my feelings again, I will wait for you.” She scoffed, looking away, his hand fell away but it was more directed to herself, she couldn’t make heads or tails of her emotions right now. Frustrated at this situation and herself, she sobbed softly. “No, no,” Zuko scooted closer to her and wrapped an arm around her shoulders. “Please don’t cry, I’m here.” She leaned into him, Zuko quickly adjusted himself. Pulling a leg out of the water and placing it behind her. Ignoring the sand that now clung to his foot. He pulled her tenderly into his chest, wrapping his arms around her securely. She wept into his chest, clinging to his shirt, Zuko rested his seared eye on top of her soft hair. Zuko ran his fingers through her hair gently, as she started to calm down. She let go of his shirt and took his hand, gently entwining his fingers with hers. Her breathing slowed down and his hand traveled down her back to rub it gently. “I’m sorry, for everything. I know it doesn’t fix anything, but I hope you know I’m serious and I’ll do anything to fix our relationship. I owe it to you, that and more.” “I forgive you. Trust took time. I was distant, because I couldn’t erase the feelings, I have for you. I thought you didn’t love me anymore, so I thought it was better. To be away from you, until I could bury my emotions better.” “I’m glad I was brave enough to come here today then.” “You’ve always been brave Zuko, you just need to push through.” “Somehow, my braveness faults around you, I worry I’ll say the wrong thing.” “Just be truthful and we’ll work through it, together.” ___ leaned up and kissed his cheek. He sighed in response from missing her touch for so long. “I have something for you then.” He sat back a bit, pushing her up as well, he quickly took out the necklace and offered it to her. “It’s yours, always has been. You can take it. If you want.” He looked into her eyes filled with uncertainty and hope as she eyed it. A blush formed on her face as she slowly touched it. “You kept it?” She looked up at him now. “I had to; it was all I had left of you. But now, if you’ll have me back, I want you to have it.” Zuko gave her soft and pleading eyes, waiting for an answer, her blush didn’t recede. But she turned her back to him, and slowly moved her hair out of the way. Zuko scrambled to secure it to her neck. When he was done, she let her hair fall and leaned back into him. Sneaking his arms under her, resting his clasped hands on top of her firm belly. They both breathed relief at the contact, Zuko smiled before resting his head on hers once again. “I love you, Zuko,” she whispered before turning in his arms and clinging to him. “I absolutely love you, ___, I always have and will.” He kissed her temple before relaxing into their embrace and closing his eyes. Feeling whole and tranquil once again.

___ was being teased by the group at the site of her necklace and Zuko’s protective arm around her. “Look, I get you’re all fond of making me flustered, but can you cut it out already.” She was exasperated by the jokes and teasing they were all doing. “I think it’s sweet,” Suki stated. “It’s good for the truth to be out, it’s good the child will have both of their parents around.” “Yes,” Zuko hugged ___ closer, resting his scarred flesh on top of her head gently. “Still, it’s odd to see you two so close,” Sokka fake gagged and Suki hit his arm. “It’s odd to think of you both as parents,” Aang admitted. "I can already tell Zuko is going to be wrapped around the child’s finger though.” They all laughed at this, even ___. “What’s that supposed to mean?” Zuko demanded. “Well,” Katara started, stifling her laugh a bit. “When the child is older and crying because mom has cut off the sweets. I can already see you sneaking behind ___’s back and giving into the sad eyes of your child.” Zuko couldn’t argue at the thought. If the child were to have her eyes, he would be weak to them. Hurt by any sad tears. “I’ll just have to punish and ground them both.” ___ laughed, and everyone joined her. Zuko was fuming a bit, ready to rebuttal but as her lips brushed his cheek in front of everyone. He simmered down with a warmth spreading across his face. His new friends, laughing even more.

Zuko was walking his beloved to her room. They hadn’t talked much about their rekindled passion, as they were teased the moment either of them showed affection to each other, over the past few days. As he thought on it, they haven't even shared a kiss to reseal everything. The thought of her lips, brought back every pleasant memory and as they reached her door. He had to force down the electrical feeling of the vivid daydream to speak to her properly. “Why do you look like you’re saying goodbye?” Her brow furrowed confused. Zuko caressed her cheek. “I wasn’t sure if you’d want me in your room. We just restarted, you’re so delicate to me right now, I can’t mess up again.” Suddenly he felt he understood her better now than he ever did before. How much did she hold back in the first few months of their relationship, in fear of pushing him away? How many times did she want to kiss him, but rejection stilled her? Is this how she felt has she dreamed of him, knowing she wasn’t pure for him? Although he hadn't been physical with Mai, he still kissed her, allowing her touches on his body. Scared to disappoint his father. Unwilling to break another heart without knowing how he wanted his future. But he knew now, his future was here with him. His love, his child, and one day, with his father defeated by the Avatar. He’d have his throne back and be able to give everything he wants to the two people who now had an occupancy in his heart. His thought flickered to so many things, but the look of heat across her cheeks halted everything. He leaned without thinking and pressed his rough lips against her pillowy ones. Her body immediately reacted, pulling him close, bowing her body into his, tangling her fingers into his now long hair. The current he had in his body quickly flared up, his erection pressing against her hip. Zuko’s head was spinning but her words from long ago struck him now. ‘Everything I did to you; you can do to me. Rub me, go down on me, be on top.’ And he wanted it, wanted to show her how desperately he missed her, to dominate her, give everything to her. His arms constricted around her, before shoving his tongue into her mouth, she fought him for dominance, as she always did. But she felt hotter in his arms more than ever before, he was no longer inexperienced, she had taught him. He guessed the pregnancy also messed with her hormones as she moaned into his mouth softly, before letting him take over. The pulse of winning sent a shudder through his body, causing his hips to grind against hers. His desire was strong, but a worry in his mind was stronger. Well two worries, he pulled away from her gently. “Let’s go in the room,” he ushered her into the room, leading her straight to the bed. He sat down then pulled her into his lap. He kissed the back of her neck, loving to see her shiver from his touches. He wrapped an arm around her upper torso, careful to avoid her baby bump, pulling her back to be flush with his chest. “I want to have you, like you said I could at one time.” She nodded, seeming to understand the conversation he was recalling. “Before I give into my desire, I just have to ask you two things. You have to promise not to laugh,” he whispered in the last sentence. “Okay, I promise,” she sighed wantonly, as he kissed her neck again. “First, I want to know, if being intimate with you can hurt the baby.” “Only if you add too much pressure to my stomach and squish them.” She sounded happy admitting this, like she was glad he cared so much. Enough to stop and ask, because he didn’t want to hurt their unborn child. “Secondly,” he licked and nipped at her neck, causing her to shudder. “I think we’ll need to stay a little quiet, if we want to avoid more teasing from our friends. But I want to give into my emotions, you have to let me know if I hurt you. Tell me to stop or slow down. I’ve missed you in so many ways, just let me know if I go too far. Don’t let my passion fog over my love for you. I don’t want to hurt either of you.” He rubbed his free hand on her stomach. “I’ll tell you if anything hurts,” her tone was so sincere, he knew it was a promise. With his worries out of the way, he moved a hand under her shirt and cupped her breast, giving it a firm squeeze. Trailing his nose along her neck and his lips whisper sweet nothings onto her skin, he was rewarded with a breathy sigh. Zuko was rigid and wanted relief, but wanted to make her happy first. Gently he guided her to stand up before kissing her, parting her lips, they moved in sync, lips slotting together in messy and needy kisses. Her warmth flooded him with love. He was a bit impatient to feel her skin after being apart for so long. Pesky articles of clothing were removed from both of them, Zuko’s hand couldn’t stop from roaming across her skin. All her imperfections, the new stretch marks from pregnancy, bumps, peach fuzz, and hair, nothing so superficially and unimportant could deter his love, his aspiration of her. Banished or no, her prince moved them to the bed and laid her down, laying down next to her. He broke their kiss for air, it stung his lungs but he couldn’t focus on that, his eyes devoured her form. His hand moved to her breast and squeezed it; she took a sharp intake of breath. “Are you okay?” He kissed her clavicle then the hollow of her throat. “Yes, my breasts are sensitive, because of hormones.” “Just tell me to stop or ease up,” he gently took a pert bud into his mouth, sucking on it. She gasped softly as goosebumps tingled all over her body, her gasp quickly fell into a soft moan as he massaged the other breast. His bangs brushed over her skin, making her shiver then giggle. “Your hair is so much longer than when we were in Ba Sing Se. It tickles,” she ran her fingers through his hair. Her breath caught in her throat as his fingers traced her folds, looking for her bundle of nerves. His hands were trembling the more he touched her, but wasn’t able to find her clit. He groaned softly against her skin, giving up slightly before pressing two fingers into her sex. She shivered at the sensation and bit her lip, to contain a moan. Her walls were warm and pulsing as his slender and nimble fingers moved in and out of her. Small hums and whimpers came from the female as he pumped his fingers faster. He sat back, watching her move and whine, eyes closed, teeth gripping her bottom lip, trying to muffle her sounds. His eyes dragged across her skin, watching her heavy breathing affect her chest. Zuko pressed a soft kiss to her temple before curling his fingers inside her, curious as to what it would do to her, his curiosity satisfied as she moaned his name. Zuko’s thumb then found her little button and pressed down on it before rubbing it. Her hips bucked involuntarily at his actions, giving him more whimpers. Zuko whispered in her ear, grunting as her hand rubbed his hard dick that was rutting against her hip. “I love you, I missed you. You're so beautiful, thank you for choosing me.” He nipped at her earlobe before traveling kisses down her neck, pushing up her necklace a bit. Her moans became hard pants as his fingers continued their assault, soft sighs of pleasure. Zuko bit her neck and sucked on it harshly, wanting to leave a mark where the necklace could cover it later. He pulled back, a soft smile touched his features at her new mark and the heat that was plastered across her features. “Gorgeous,” he murmured before slowly removing his hand from her, mentally noting the disappointing whimper that followed, he glanced at the slickness across his fingers, the strands of secretion webbed in-between his appendages. Inquisitive he placed his fingers in his mouth, to taste her. He noticed her look away, with a flush took place of her heated look. “Did I do something wrong?” “No,” she whispered before looking at him. “I was just wondering if you thought I tasted okay.” He grinned, “would you like to taste?” His smug attitude quickly disappeared as she opened her mouth. Inflammation now flushed him as he put his fingers inside her once again and curling his fingers. She panted softly, from the brief pleasure before he placed his fingers in her mouth. He registered the smug look at crossed her eyes now. She closed around his fingers, pulling them deeper into her mouth, lapping at them. He moaned, remembering the feel of her mouth on his dick, his member wept at the vivid memory. “You dirty cheat,” he growled. He wanted to dominate her, the moment he tried, she turned it around on him. Making him leak some cum, she was so heinous. “You've gotta try harder than that if you want to make me speechless.” She gave him a devious smirk, knowing he wouldn't turn down that challenge. Zuko kissed her fiercely, trying to calm his blush and thoughts. He wasn’t as experienced as her, but he had been dreaming of all the things he wanted to do to her in his absence. He got a pleasant hum from her as he deepened their kiss, entwining their muscles and pushing for dominance. The breathing he was doing through his nose was inadequate at best, so he pulled away, to stare into her soft eyes, noticing her lust and smug glazing on top of her pools of emotion. He was determined to wipe that smug emotion from her eyes, with his resolve he sat up away from her. Although he fumbled a bit, trying to not add pressure on top of her, he nestled between her legs, his face inches away from her heat. His courage wavered a bit, as he couldn’t see her face, nor did he know what he was doing. He exhaled, blowing unintentionally on her folds, causing her to shiver. Positioning his fingers as her sex once again, at this angle was fascinating to him. He could feel and see how wet he made her. He moved and scissor his digits inside of her, he brushed the outside of her folds with his thumbs, looking for her clit. He quickly shoved his fingers in her deeper and pressed his tongue against her button. She thrust her hips a bit, trying to get more, he gave it to her. Sucking on her nub caused her to moan, but it cut off, he assumed it was to try to not make more noise. Zuko moved a bit to adjust her thighs into his shoulder, getting closer, a better angle. Once again, his inquiring nature struck, and while fingering her. He dragged his tongue all along her opening, curling his tongue and fingers inside her at the same time. Her thighs tighten around his head, moving his hand to put firm pressure on one of her thighs, to push it away a bit. He repeated his motion from before, kept the one thigh back, but her hands gripped in his hair now. Her breathing labored at his continued motions; her walls pulsed more as she started to arch off the bed. Zuko pulled away, happily hearing her disappointed whine again. His body was tense above her, he almost glared into her lust-dazed eyes before aligning the tip of his dick with her entrance. He moaned as he pushed into her tight core and savored the moan of his name as he did. Although being inside of her felt like home, he didn’t know how long he could hold himself above her without squishing her. He pulled out of her, another whimper. “Zuko,” she hissed. She felt like he was teasing her, she’d been close to climax with him eating her out. The pleasure she had with him finally inside her was so intensely short-lived. “Can you flip over onto your hand and knees? Like how we used to do our quick sessions standing?” She looked into his worried eyes that traveled to her stomach. She carefully moved onto her knees then rested her weight onto her forearms. Her butt up, back arched and sloped down, the sight alone of her dripping pussy, made Zuko groan. He moved onto his knees and noticed he lined up perfectly with her in this position. Rubbing the tip of his cock at her sex, probing her gently and pushing the helmet of his dick in her. She gave him a whiny moan, the sound begged for more. It seemed natural to put his hands on her hips, but as her walls quivered around the head of his length. He arched over her a bit, kissing her back gently before slamming her hips back into her, fully sheathing himself inside her. He watched her grip the sheets as she moaned quietly, the heat and grip of her walls caused him to straighten his back. His breath came out in a huff as he slowly dragged himself in and out of her, relishing the feeling. Although she was whimpering, the speed of his actions being slow didn’t seem to register in his euphoric state. With a pant of her own she pushed back on him, with a bit more urgency, he grunted and steadied her hips with his hands stopping her. After taking a drawn-out breath he started to snap his hips into hers. The quick motion causing her to moan a bit loud at first, before she bit her lip and hid her face into the mattress. Small whimpers and moans poured from them both as the bed started to creak louder and louder, accompanying the sounds of their skin slapping together, and the wet slosh of her cunt. Zuko’s hands wandered her back as it tensed and relaxed with his pelvis thundering into her. He leaned forward a bit, to move his hands where he wanted them. Groping one breast the other traveled down to her more sensitive button. Rubbing slow and tight circles around her clit, she clenched around him, causing him to pant hard to cover up at moan before grunting. He wanted to slow to experience this vice more, but he knew she wanted release, and all he wanted was to please her. So, he hunched over more to kiss her back again while driving his hips to go deeper and faster. She moaned out as she started to reach a breaking point, her coil tightened at this new angle. A bit worried to alert the others around them, Zuko covered her mouth with his hand that was on her breast. She whimpered against his palm; the vibrations of her voice made him shiver. As he focused more on her sounds, he noticed he was close to release, closing his eyes he grunted to try and shove her over the edge first. He started to rub her clit faster. This seemed to finish her build-up as she moaned his name against his hand. The rush of her walls spasming around him caused him to whine out her name. His hands moved back to her hips, to aid himself in moving her hips faster and in sync with his. She cried softly as her orgasm finished and now, she was sensitive to his brutal tendency. He strangled his moan, trying to stay silent as his seed rushed out, filling her and relieving him, as her walls continued to cling and pull him in. Panting softly Zuko, slowly pulled out of her, albeit a bit unwanted, leaving her body was almost painful. He pulled on some pants and bundled her up in a blanket before carrying her to a bath. It was out of the room; he didn't like the idea of someone else seeing her body. He stared into her eyes, so full of love and care. Her eyes were glossed over with a dazed lust. “Let’s get cleaned up and go to sleep,” he whispered before kissing her forehead. “I love you, my prince,” she giggled a bit. “Thank you for doing so, my princess.”
