Avatar au: for whatever reason (Ursa takes off with Zuko to find somewhere safe, Iroh takes him around the world, he gets banished to the pole, etc) Zuko comes to hang out at the South Pole and becomes unlikely friends with the water kids. It obviously starts out rocky, but gets there eventually.
A while ago I was invited to contribute to the Form the Ashes ATLA fan Zine for @recovery-zine!
I got to illustrate this double spread! (which was terrifying, thank you)
Pretty sure this is where the thought "Jee survived the north" began to form for me! The theme was about the war ending, peace settling and people getting to come home and reunite with loved ones.
Zuko is still feeling weird about them remembering. Toph is feeling weird about experiencing a caring parental figure. And trying to come to terms with it being a grumpy teen who is now kind of part of their group. Both of them (but also everyone else) kind of misses how things were.
I saw someone make a post about no confirmation of Iroh meeting Izumi. We can't have that! So have this first meeting with Uncle and his Granddaughter.
