    Summary

    “Oh no,” says Aang, in the same tone he tends to reserve for tiny, squishy big-eyed animals. “He’s a baby.”

    Zuko glowers, deeply, in a way that Sokka suspects he means to be more threatening than it is. “I am not!”

    …Sure, kiddo. Sure.

    or: a decade and a half after the war’s end, Fire Lord Zuko gets turned back into a sixteen-year-old, with no memory of anything that’s happened since he and his Uncle arrived as refugees to Ba Sing Se, and a severe lack of trust in anything that moves. Unfortunately for him, the Gaang are determined to re-bond with their de-aged friend, and they refuse to let a feral teenager go un-parented the second time around — no matter how many times he tries to fight them about it.

    Summary

    For as long as he can remember, Zuko knew he would have no say in who he would marry. Anyone familiar with basic royal customs would realize it as well. Marriage wasn’t a luxury or some grand display of love; marriage was for convenience and a power move if done correctly. It meant nothing to Zuko. He was raised with the knowledge that he would one day be sent off to live with a stranger for the sake of his nation, and it didn’t matter if he ended up happy or not. His happiness didn't matter.

    All this to say, when his father tells him that he is to marry a stranger from the Southern Water Tribe and use their marriage as an opportunity to spy on the enemy, Zuko knows he has no choice. It's just...he didn't expect this stranger to be so kind to him.
