whoever wrote on tiktok after the finale that “anna’s taking care of sarah whilst joel’s down there taking care of ellie”, i’m in ur walls tonight
request by anon: Fire siblings post war headcannons? (This means disregarding the comics cause I don't like them nor the way they treat mental illness and Azula)
note: finally, my first official atla request is out! I loved this one sm, and I can't wait to ignore the comics and actually give Azula a chance and not mock and villianize mental illness, as we should! I also tried to make this as open to all ships as possible, just to be sure!
I have about 9 others either ready to go or in progress, coming up the next days and weeks, but I'm still accepting new ones, so if you're interested in that there's a link at the bottom on this post!
I really am the biggest supporter of Azula getting some much needed therapy
but I also think she's resist it at first?
her treatment starts far away from Caldera, the palace and Zuko
with healers and therapists and lots of mediation
Zuko probably ends up pushing off therapy for a solid while after becoming Fire Lord, being way to busy
Good old Ambassador Sokka and Uncle Iroh ends up literally kidnapping him and sending him to therapy when they're scared he'll just collapse
Zuko puts off requesting to see Azula for a good while
he's really unsure and nervous about it all, which is fair
but it's not just that, with therapy, time and experiencing what real love and a sense of family feels like, he feels a lot of hurt and sympathy for his baby sister
he starts getting nightmares about the aftermath of the last Agni Kai, and after a couple of weeks where it happens every night, he finally reaches out
he's surprised when he's told she'll she him whenever he's ready
this can be me just projecting how I act after trauma and big episodes, but I can see her not wanting to talk at first?
they're just in the same room, learning to just exist together again
Zuko has a lot to talk about, anyways
mundane things from the palace, stories about Sokka in the Fire Nation, about Iroh and his shop, little, simple things
after a while he starts talking about more serious topics, as he sees it clearly peaks her interest a little more
he tells her about his life as a refugee in Ba Sing Se, he swears she almost smiles when he tells her about the wonderfully awkward date with Jin, and he talks about the crew on his ship, and how terrible went when he tried to befriend the Gaang
the first time she says something again is when Zuko has had a little breakdown and chopped of his hair when he looked in the mirror and thought he started to look like Ozai
it's uneven and he has weird little bangs, but she just looks at him for a few seconds, and calmly states that the long hair wasn't working for him, anyways
Zuko tries so hard to stay chill, and he kinda manages, but he totally cries a little when he leaves her room
after that the visits starts becoming more of a conversation, and while they thread lightly, they're also feeling a new sense of... familiarity, maybe?
the first time Azula visits the palace goes surprisingly well
at this point, Zuko has spent a lot of time talking to Sokka about Azula and their rehabilitations, and Sokka is trying hard to be there for Zuko and make this as easy as possible
Azula finds him a little annoying at first, and on time she gets really annoyed and jokes that he can chill, she's not gonna try to kill Zuko again
Sokka s horrified, but Zuko actually laughs
the first time Zuko hears Azula laugh without it being out of someone else pain, and for the first time since the war ended, is at one of Katara's little jabs at Zuko
(that's just how she shows him she cares, it's the same kind of bickering she does with Sokka)
Azula actually barks out a real laugh and Katara forgets to be weary and actually grins at her
it's weird and awkward but also kinda really beautiful
Zuko and Azula starts having tea once a week, no matter how busy they are, and they keep that tradition even as they get older
I have some many aunt Azula headcanons, and I've kinda talked about them before, but I just need to add a few sorry
she totally feels super awkward when she first meets her as a baby
the first time she holds her she just looks at her and is like... holy shit... a whole tiny person... in my arms.... help..?
but it turns out Azula quite likes toddlers, esp when they get to that age where they can talk, but have yet to develop a filter
she's crazy protective of her, and Zuko kinda just appreciates it
but she also loves teaching Izumi ways to mess with Zuko, so much
whenever Zuko complains about it, he stops and realizes he kinds wouldn't want it any other way
the older they get, the more they both love gossip lmao
middle aged fire siblings spilling tea while drinking tea?
why, yes of course
request info - buy me a ko-fi - Tumblr masterlist
Why isnt this ship more popular? I mean, they lived in the same house, literally raised a family together, zoey sacrificed her immortality to save aphmau and have i mentioned that they were ROOMMATES
Anyways, have this drawing of them together

(part one: katara)
Whenever they have the chance, Ellie and Joel get matching clothes, usually sweatshirts.
The best places to find new ones are remote gift shops that haven't been picked over yet, but they will take anything they can get their hands on, starting a small collection. It's not clear who had the idea first, but they both love it more than they're willing to admit for exactly the same reason - it makes them look like a family, and, more specifically, the package deal they are. They don't actively coordinate their outfits, but if one of them wears a shirt they both have, the other one races to change as soon as they see it.
Everyone else finds it fucking adorable, not that anyone except Tommy would actually be brave enough to say it to their faces, but the people in Jackson like Joel and Ellie more than they know; it's the way they look at each other, really, the bubble of fondness surrounding them wherever they go.
Identical shirts pose one problem though, mostly for Joel. When they're scattered around their house, left on the couch or in his bed, slung over a kitchen chair, it's hard to see what size it is. Ellie loves wearing Joel's shirts, glowing with something adorably childlike whenever she does, but Joel cannot wear hers, and he has gotten stuck in them while trying to pull them on in a hurry more than once.
He complains to Tommy about it (with the biggest fucking smile, and his brother cannot for the life of him take his annoyance seriously), but he still comes up with a solution. After collecting all of their matching shirts, he commandeers their living room and stitches their initials where the clothing tag should be (Ellie hates them, they're itchy, so she cut them off). His embroidery is great, he even makes sure to use the right color schemes, and numb fingertips are worth the crushing hug Ellie gives him afterwards.
(She still steals Joel's shirts, just because she can.)
