*Zuko never wanted to be a father.

Not for the lack of wanting children, but because he didn’t trust himself with them. The only fatherhood he’d been fluent in was a hand, a flame, and an ugly lesson scarred on his face.

Then he met you.

Your understanding with him made him want to give you the world, and he thought giving you one of his would be a way. So it was settled. You two had a kid.

But something in Zuko went feral on the journey with your first pregnancy. He couldn’t keep his hands off of you, nor ever wanted to leave your side. Something about you with his child in you made him obsessed.

Six years later, you now have five little firebending girls tearing through the palace. Your own mini fire nation.

For the most feared man in the four nations, it was quite adorable how he’d hold council with his daughters crowding him.

One night, while you were basically seconds away from falling into dreamland, Zuko walks in.

“I want another little one…”

It wasn’t just that he loved having mini versions of him and you, but he loved seeing you glow AND grow. He wanted the palace full of you and him.*
