Could you do some headcannons for Toph and Zuko being like brother and sister please!

attackfish:

Do you mean this AU where they actually are brother and sister?: [Link]

I also have this one, where Toph is the Fire Princess instead of Azula: [Link] Wow I have a lot of five headcanon AUs.

Anyway, I’m going with the one where Zuko is a Bei Fong.

1. Zuko, Iroh, and Jet all end up on the same ferry into Ba Sing Se.  Zuko is completely at loose ends, because he’s supposed to be hunting his sister and bringing her home, but he just can’t bring himself to do that to her, and he can’t go home without her, and he has never been anything but the Bei Fong heir.  Without a nephew to teach and keep out of trouble, he’s spiraling into a bit of a depression at the site of the place where his son died.  He’s there to offer his services to the Earth King in the fight against his brother, but sometimes it’s hard to hold onto that purpose.  Jet is… Jet.

Anyway, Iroh meets Zuko when he’s passing around the food he stole with the freedom fighters, and he feels it’s his duty to provide a better influence for this kid before he gets arrested.  This is how Zuko comes to be standing next to him when Iroh does his heating the tea thing.  Zuko freaks.  Iroh clamps his hand around the boy’s mouth, tells him who he is, and his plan, and Zuko  decides to follow him to keep his eyes on him, since after all he doesn’t have anything else to do except try to keep tabs on his sister.

Iroh very quickly rethinks his plan after finding out about the Dai Li, and this is how he and Zuko end up running a tea shop together while they wait for the comet and plan to help defend the city.

2. Because there is no Prince Zuko to rescue Aang after Zhao captures him, it falls to Iroh, who has been spending his time on the front for the past two years, since court was so unpleasant with Ozai as Firelord.  By the way, Zhao tries to have a rivalry with him, but Iroh just finds him amusing.

3. It’s Sokka that Azula strikes at in the abandoned village before making her getaway, something Iroh tells Zuko all about.  Zuko just wants him to get back to talking about the time he talked to his sister.  More Toph, less Water Tribe dude.

4. Toph has so many mixed feelings about her brother the secret rebel who hooked up with the renegade Dragon of the West.  On one hand, yay!  Her brother is awesome, and she loves him, on the other hand, she already has mixed feelings about the way he used to help her, and also help their parents control her, and she doesn’t know what to do with him, and also it;s kind of her fault he had to leave home, and hey Zuko, you may be a lavabender, but I can metalbend.  I invented it.  So nyah.  She’s feeling a lot of things about him at once.

5. There was this really cool Kyoshi Warrior with a bunch of knives who came in for tea, and Zuko served her, and he almost spilled tea on her, but she came back, and then she saw Iroh and didn’t come back after that, and it turns out she wasn’t a Kyoshi Warrior after all, and Zuko’s pissed off at that, because he’s pretty sure she was spying on him.  Not because he thought she was really cool and wanted to kiss her.  No.
