I wish you would write a fic where Jargala meets Viper's family (Mamba, etc.) Unlike Jargala's family, at least some know exactly who she is and what she does.
Ooh! I'm actually kinda hyped about this idea. It might have to see ao3 at some point.
So I'm thinking it would be a little earlier in the timeline, when Jargala is still running her cactus dust empire in Ba Sing Se. Viper has been taking increasingly long, increasingly frequent trips up there negotiating rates and distribution on behalf of the Triple Threats (one of these suspiciously coinciding with winter solstice holidays). Cobra and Mamba were not born yesterday, they knew their youngest brother had a woman out there. What they did not know was that it was the distributor he was fucking. And then he shows up for Mamba's summer kickback in Zaofu with the scion of the Omo daofei family.
The entire way from Ba Sing Se to Zaofu, Jargala is asking if there's anything she should be prepared for (because she knows families and there must be something). And in classic youngest son fashion, Viper is like, "No, you're fine. It's just my brothers, they'll love you," completely unbothered by all the complex dynamics at play.
They get to Zaofu a day or two before the Republic City delegation and that first night over post-dinner drinks Mamba, Jasmine, and Suyin give Jargala the raw, unfiltered truth and crash course on how to survive their crotchety older siblings.
Tell me the fic you wish I would write, and I'll give you a summary!
