I like it! Very nicely done indeed. I'm especially fond of the Toph part. It feels like something her parents would do. Thankfully, she'll have daddy!Iroh run to the rescue. :)

Going in my mems.

Oh my god, yes, yes. I lovelovelove Toph/Iroh gen like that, and you practically know it's canon. Those two are going to live together in the Earth Kingdom, being awesome, and generally taking the piss out of Zuzu ;)

Glad you liked, hun! How's things? :D :D

[azardarkstar]

That should be the sequel fic to this. Only not since it'd be pure comedy gold.

"Hey, Zuzu. Meet your new cousin/sister."

[albumsontheside]

"What---you can't---she's not my---and since when did you call me Zuzu?!"

[azardarkstar]

"I thought everyone called you Zuzu, Sparky."

*Insert Toph grin*

[albumsontheside]

"What---only Azula---and wait a moment, cousin or not, I am the Fire Lord and you will treat me as such!"

[azardarkstar]

*Uses earthbending*

"Ow! You didn't have to hit me there."

[albumsontheside]

"Well, you didn't have to destroy my throne room!"

[azardarkstar]

*Wait. I think you've lost me. She was the one to hit Zuko.*

"You should be glad, nephew, to have a new member of the family."

Grumbles. "I am. Just... I hoped for less violence in my future."

[albumsontheside]

*Earthbending. Floor. ;)*

"In any case, I'm hungry." Toph grumbles. "I want duck."

(Zuko doesn't eat duck. You totally know he still keeps pet turtleducks. THIS BE CANON.)

[azardarkstar]

*Is it really canon? It could be!*

Zuko: Dies a little inside.

Toph: Did it on purpose. Hops on his back and makes him carry her.

Servants: Discreet snickers.

Iroh: Beams.

Ursa (who has to be there since she and Iroh are my OTP for AtLA): Sighs and smiles.

Aang: Wondering if he can join the family since he obviously doesn't have one now.

[albumsontheside]

"Listen, Toph ... I'll happily provide you a meal, but duck---"

"Don't be silly, it's good for you! Aang likes it to, don't you, Aang?"

"Actually, Toph, I'm veg--"

[azardarkstar]

"Duck it is then."

Zuko and Aang: Exchange a glance. Know they must join forces to prevail.

Iroh and Ursa: Too busy imagining grandkids and weddings. Not necessarily in that order.

[albumsontheside]

"Toph, technically the Avatar outranks you, and court etiquette demands that I serve his preference in food."

"You mean ... berries and nuts?"

"Y-yes. That. Anything but duck."

Iroh and Ursa OTP :D

[azardarkstar]

"Damn."

*The End*

Iroh/Ursa is my OTP. I can stand just about everything. Except maybe Zutara. Though there are a few really good ones where I can live with it.

[albumsontheside]

*Oh, before they meet Mai?*

I hate Zutara and I have a soft spot for Aang/Toph and Sokka/Toph :) I OTP Zuko/Mai and Iroh/Ursa :D
