there's a whole story between azula/zuko + kiyi that needs to be discovered!!!!!!!!! y'all are sleeping on them!!!!!! write fics please!!!!!!! hear me out!!!!!!
zuko's new, perfect little sister calling him the same nickname his hateful, insane sister does. kiyi being able to firebend when she's still a child, just like azula was.
kiyi has no idea about the weight of the nickname. she just wanted a cute name for her new big brother. zuko needed to make a decision when he first heard her calling him that. should he tell her not to say it again or simply let her? and he chooses to let her use the nickname. the nickname azula came up with and used all their lives. sometimes to humiliate him, sometimes as a proof of her affection.
does kiyi fill the void azula left behind? he wants to believe she does. she is sweet, kind and pure in ways azula could never be. she gives zuko the chance to be the loving big brother he never got to be.
on top of everything, zuko now has a new father figure besides uncle iroh. with ozai defeated, our fire siblings are effectively fatherless. until they find their mother and discover she has remarried. while ikem is warm and welcoming to zuko, azula remains on the run, watching from afar as zuko replaces their old family. now, is it her turn to be erased? will he pretend his malicious little sister never existed, just like he tries to pretend ozai never did? and all the while, azula has no idea that zuko still secretly visits their father in his cell from time to time.
if azula ever decides to return to the palace, where will she fit in? it seems her spot is already taken by kiyi. what would azula think and feel? does she still have a place in zuko's life? could she create a new spot in his heart?
and if azula&zuko become a couple somehow (thus azula creating a new space for herself), how will it affect his dynamic with his new family?
i just can't stop thinking about this. and yes, i reread smoke and shadow + the spirit temple comic
You could try to write it yourself you know.
but that's too much work
