Zuko Headcanons - Tumblr Posts

hello hello hello!!! how are u? i saw u do hc for avatar and i (after fangirling a little) i was asking if u could some hc for zuko with a s/o that doesn't control any of the elements but belongs to the fire nation... idk if that makes sense, sorry if dont, if so maybe you could do some hc for him in a relationship in general, please, idk if i have explained myself well but hope i have & that u can do them!!! thank u!

Sorry that this one took so long. I was so happy to see a request from Avatar, and I couldn't wait to get to this one. I always knew that Zuko is a very complex character, but as I started thinking about this request on a deeper level, I realized it will be harder than I thought. Actually, it depends a lot on when you meet him on his life path.

But!! I love it, so don't worry, it felt so good to work on something... I don't know, heavier, I hope it makes sense! Every possibility is different and I feel like it would be hard for me to focus on every aspect of his character development, but I will just say this: the later you two meet, the greater the chance to break the ice. I would rather speak about him and you in a general way, but if you want something more specific, let me know!

So, here it is anon, I hope I did you justice! 💝

And, with this final request, my inbox is open again!!

Zuko relationship headcanons with a nonbender s/o

He is not an easy one to date. At least, at the beginning.

He is very self-conscious,  not just because of his scar, but his whole place in the universe. His childhood trauma left some huge holes in his heart, and he is not comfortable with himself, at all.

After he finally saw the bigger picture, the impact that the Fire Nation left on the whole world, it just made it worse for a while. He felt anger, guilt, and shame before he could make peace with himself.

So, on top of that, having a crush on someone can be incredibly difficult. For both you and him.

In the beginning, you have to be very patient with him. He needs time to notice his feelings and to even just think about the possibility to get into a relationship.

Zuko won't rush things. He needs to be 100% convinced about the fact that you two really click together or not. You need to earn his trust, and even after, he needs time to open up to you.

Just be by his side. Listen to him, ask his opinion on even just little nothings, he would appreciate it.

Early in the relationship, he is uncomfortable with PDA. He wants to touch you, of course, and he would love to feel your soft hands on his skin, but... He is awkward.

From time to time, he will reach out to you, of course, and after a while, he will more comfortable with it, but he won't be a huge fan of it. Holding hands, throwing his arm around your shoulders are absolutely fine tho.

And as he trusts you more and more every day, he becomes more affectionate. First, it happens mostly when it's just the two of you. He would lean closer to you when you sit down next to each other, then he would love to hold you, even if his close friends are nearby. Step by step, he will get used to it, and he will even love to touch you, wherever you two are.

The fact that from the Fire Nation as well, doesn't really change things for him. He feels a little closer to you, as you share the same culture, and you might be more familiar with the nature of your nation, and it makes things a little easier. There will be things that only you could understand about him clearly.

Being a nonbender is a similar situation. He doesn't think much about it, but he would be definitely more protective of you, especially if you don't possess any kind of fighting skill. And if you do, he would try his best to trust you with it, but he would always keep an eye on you, just in case.

He can be very hot-headed and moody, but he would be extra careful not to hurt you, or at least he would try his best. Most of the time, he is very gentle and caring. He would listen to you every time, doesn't matter if you are passionate or sad about something, he would be there for you.

I think Zuko is not really great with gifts, but he would always come up with something unique. With an advisor like Iroh or Katara, I would be surprised if he wouldn't.

He's very into classic romantic gestures, like dinner dates, picnics, giving you flowers occasionally, and in general, just go out and spend some time together.

OH MY!!! i loved your zuko + s/o hc so, i saw that your requests are open & i came by to ask some more of him, please skskskd how will it be if, at first, she didn't know how to fight but, with time, she started to train herself and become a great fighter buut she put herself on danger in one of the fights (she actually gets injured), how would zuko react? i need some angst, please. hope you can do them & that you're having a great day!!!

Well a little late but here we are!

Zuko when his s/o gets injured

So, he would support your training and learning how to defend yourself, but honestly

He didn't think about the fact that you would actually need to use this knowledge. Like, he would love the fact that you're not helpless and he doesn't have to worry over you all the time (he would totally do that anyway, but that's another topic), but he would try his best to avoid the possibility of you getting into a fight.

If you choose to let him train you, he would be a very strict and prudent master, much like he was with Aang.

And when it comes to that anyway, he is a wreck. You wouldn't see it at first, but he is so worried. It doesn't matter how many times you fight beside him before, he would always keep an eye on you, making sure you doing okay.

But this fight was different. He wanted to protect you, but the enemy outnumbered you. It was not THAT serious, he knew you two could beat them eventually, but it was not an easy one for sure.

He heard you scream, and he immediately turned his gaze to you, but you seemed alright, still fighting. So for a short time, he only focused on the enemies, and he managed to make them flee at least.

In a minute, he was by your side. You managed to smile at him, but that quickly faded as you felt a sharp pain in your left side. Zuko was horrified, and he instantly blamed himself.

It was him who got distracted, he should have protected you, and even reconsider how you two got into a fight in the first place - he should have been able to find a way to avoid it, but he was too careless and he did a big mistake because of that.

And then he felt a growing fire inside him. He wanted to go after them so badly. To teach them a lesson that no one should hurt his s/o without consequences.

But you were wounded and you needed him, and he would never leave you like that, especially not in this state.

He took you somewhere safe and did everything he could. If Katara was nearby, he would beg her to heal you. And if that's not an option, he would try his best to recall what would his uncle do in this situation.

So, eventually, you got better, but he would still feel so much self hate for a long time.

Hi! Can you write zuko with his s/o headcanons?

Of course Anon! Thank you for your request!

For Zuko, finding a special someone he can trust and love, it's not really a quest to find anyone who would be willing to share their life with him. He needs someone he can connect to on a deeper level, this is one of those rare cases when he is more idealistic about something. He needs that special bond, something that's pure and real. That being said, he has a hard time finding that special someone.

Well, had, because finally, you are in his life now.

No matter how did you end up together, he took his time to get to know you, even if there was an obvious attraction between you two. He doesn't need to know every little detail about you before getting into the relationship ships, there's some stuff he would prefer to find out about you while you're dating. But he needs to know where you stand: what motivates you? What makes you happy? How well can you understand each other? Is it hard to talk to you? Will you accept him with his past?

Zuko knows relationships are not just fairytales, they had their challenges, and no one is perfect, including him, and he is not afraid to put effort into it if he thinks he found the one.

He will accept you as you are, but would be more than happy to help you grow and achieve your goals.

He is really supportive. He has his slight mood swings sometimes, and with that, it is not easy for him to be affectionate in every situation, but Zuko is not afraid to express his love to you. He does this with little gestures and touches, like helping you with your daily tasks and just giving you hugs and squeezing your hand when you need him.

He is not against PDA, but mostly he will just hold your hands around others, not just because he loves it, but he is a bit possessive and can be very jealous, so everyone needs to see that you are HIS s/o.

He gets really snappy and sassy when he is jealous, be patient with him and try to reassure him that you wouldn't just leave him for someone else, that will make calm him faster, and he will apologize for being snarky.

But other than that, he tries his best to not get into any arguments. He is very stubborn and devoted to his own ideas and beliefs, so there would be definitely some tension if you are very much different than him, but that doesn't mean it would be a deal-breaker. Zuko will do everything to get to know you better, and once he does, he will know exactly which buttons he should and shouldn't push.

But because of that, it can happen that he will keep his problems about the relationship for himself, trying to avoid conflict, and that's sometimes can cause some issues, be persistent but understanding if you might know that he is hiding something like that.

You need to remind him that he can open up to you and that you are there for him, no matter what.

When it's just the two of you, he is more affectionate and touchy.

Zuko loves cuddles, especially when you two are on a date or it's just the end of a long day. He doesn't mind the position: being the big or the small spoon, you sitting in his lap, laying down and putting his head onto your lap, or just sit between his leg while he embraces you from behind. He loves it all and would be just generally happy to have some physical contact with you.

His daily kisses are usually short pecks, or slow, long makeout sessions, and honestly, he prefers the latter. He likes taking his time and exploring your sweet spots with little touches here and there.

But he can very passionate, especially when he is jealous, or when you are teasing him enough~

If you communicate openly, and willing to put effort and care into the relationship, there's nothing that could stop you two. He will put his whole heart into it, and if you do the same, your love will last forever.

Can I have some emergency fluff with [HUG] +, Zuko plsss

A/N: I wasn't sure if you wanted an x reader or headcanons so I decided to do headcanons. I hope that's okay with you.

Zuko Hugging Headcanons:

The first time you and Zuko hugged, it was very awkward.

It was right after a battle with fire nation guards or with Zuko's sister Azula.

Zuko didn't know what he was doing when you hugged him.

Which by the way, you had to hug him because it was getting very awkward, and neither of you knew what to say to each other after the fight.

He had his arms up while you were hugging him and your face was in his chest.

You were hugging him like you didn't want to let him go.

Slowly after a few seconds, Zuko wrapped his arms around you with a smile on his face.

'This is nice,' Zuko thought.

You were just smiling in happiness.

It took a while for Zuko to get used to your hugs.

It slowly over time became a daily occurrence for you two to hug at least once per day, even after The Hundred-year-war was over.

Your hugs for Zuko were like comfort for him.

Your hugs were like one of Zuko's safe places to go to when he needed comfort, especially when he had a bad day.

Zuko doesn't know why, but your hugs always just made him feel better.

Every time Zuko hugs you, you just felt happy.

I don't know why but I can imagine Zuko hugging you out of nowhere and it surprises you.

Like he sneaks up behind you and picks you up and hugs you right out of nowhere.

And you just squeak or scream in surprise.

(I don't know why but I think it's adorable, cute, and funny all at the same time imagining that.)

Overall, you and Zuko just hugging each other is just so cute and so adorable.
