Zuko x Reader

Ember Island

Both Aang and Zuko were practicing their firebending. Katara, Toph and I were watching from the sidelines. "Doesn't it seem kind of weird we're hiding from the Fire Lord in his own house?" Katara asked.

"They never come here anyways. At least I have no memory of ever coming here." I said, dusting off my clothes as I stood up.

"The las time we came here, our family was happy. And that was a long time ago. It's the last place anyone would think to look for us." Zuko said as he sat by a broken fountain.

"You guys are not going to believe this. There's a play about us!" Sokka and Suki walked in.

"We were just in town and found this poster." Suki said as Sokka showed the poster to us.

"How is that possible?" Katara asked.

"Listen to this, The boy in the iceberg is a new production from acclaimed playwright Puan Tin. He scoured the globe, gathering information on the Avatar. From the icy South Pole to the heart of Ba Sing Se. His sources include singing nomads, pirates, prisoners of war and a surprisingly knowledgeable merchant of cabbage." Sokka read off the poster.

"Brought to you by the critically acclaimed Ember Island Players." Suki read the last line.

"Ugh." We all looked at Zuko. "My mother used to take us to see them. They butchered 'Love Amongst the Dragons' every year." Zuko recalled a childhood memory.

"Sokka, do you think its a good idea for us to attend a play about ourselves?" Katara asked.

"Come on, a day at the theatre? This is the kind of wacky time-wasting nonsense I've been missing." Sokka smiled.

We went to the theatre, and got second floor box seats. The play started and I sat in the second row of seats with Sokka and Suki.

The theatre dimmed and the curtains rose. The first scene was Katara and Sokka, the day they found Aang.

"This is pathetic, my jokes are way funnier than this!" Sokka complained in a hushed whisper.

"I think they got you pegged." Toph laughed along to the jokes.

"I don't sound like that." Katara said with her arms crossed.

"This writer is a genius." Toph continued laughing, as did Suki and Sokka.

The actor who portrayed Aang stepped out from the 'iceberg,' "Is that a woman playing me?" Aang asked. "I don't do that. That's not what I'm like." Aang looked back at us, "And I'm not a woman!"

"They nailed you twinkle toes." Toph continued laughing.

"At least she's enjoying herself." I thought, as the next scene showed Iroh and Zuko.

"They make me look totally stiff and humorless." Zuko was the next to complain. 

"I think they're pretty spot on." Katara told him.

"How could you say that?" Zuko asked her. I watched as Zuko interacted with everyone.

"Your mom would be happy.." I thought watching as the others were definitely a lot more comfortable around him.

The scenes continued, from the Air Temple, King Bumi, the pirate incident, the blue spirit rescue, Jet, the Northern Water Tribe, Yue's death, Zhao's death. Then it was intermission. We all stepped out for fresh air. 

"This intermission is the best part of the play." Zuko complained as we all sat on the stairs.

"Apparently the playwright thinks I'm an idiot who tells bad jokes and only thinks about meat." Sokka said as he ate some jerky.
