headcanon that aang and zuko get called to the sun warrior civilisation “immediately because it’s an EMERGENCY.”
and so they’re both freaking out because what happened and it’s actually because the dragon egg zuko touched has hatched.
and because it’s a baby, the very first baby in like thousands of years, everyones extremely wary and aang has to babysit zuko because zuko wants to fucking hold it.
and so they’re celebrating and the baby bonds with zuko and the sun warriors are like “you are forever bonded.”
and aang freaks out and has an ethical crisis because zuko + baby dragon = disaster and he can’t just take the baby from its parents like it has to grow up in the wild and help rebuild the dragon population (aang knows this all too well).
but he can’t just ignore what the sun warriors say so zuko takes it back to the fire nation.
and so aang leaves for republic city but zuko now insists on being addressed as “firelord zuko, mother of dragons.” and no one can stop him.
so when aang visits the fire nation again they introduce aangs arrival like “firelord zuko, mother of dragons, the avatar has arrived.”
and aang just faints right there.
and then again when he finds out druk has his own throne and goes with zuko to meetings and shoots fire at politicians who are mean to zuko.
the politicians know not to mess with the baby anymore.
and by baby they mean zuko.
