The Fire Lord and the Orphan have an Impromptu Nap.

Zuko and Kurzu
From Ozai’s Vengeance
by Fandomme

Like many of my fellow Zutarans I have been inspired by Fandomme’s fiction. This was just a small detail in an epic tale. But the picture it created in my mind was so vivid I had to illustrate it. Fandomme’s Zuko is so absolutely irresistible.

I have been drawing many of her beautiful words …

From Chapter 11:

“Zuko spent the rest of the day quietly. He dismissed his secretaries to larger projects -- he had put off pressuring the Earth Kingdom to buy more Fire Nation-manufactured farm equipment, but the time for that was over now that Toph Bei Fong had taken up residence in his home for an extended period -- and wandered the palace instead. He took Kurzu with him after both men had an impromptu nap. The child liked being carried and was much lighter on Zuko's shoulders than either Toph or Azula had ever been. Zuko gave him the grand tour and let him crawl on antique furniture in the library while he brushed up on Agni Kai etiquette. He brought him to the kitchen and Kurzu ate the pieces of dumpling that Zuko tore open for him. He sensed the eyes of his staff on him, wary and bewildered, surprised at this man who accepted challenges from a long-dead lover's brother and carried a fussy refugee child like a talisman. Zuko brought Kurzu to the palace vault and the child's eyes danced as he generated lightning from his fingers and shot it down the dragon's gaping mouth, triggering the switch behind the intricate golden door so that it swung open with a mighty creak. Zuko recalled a time when he had watched Ozai do this very thing. It must have been at least twenty-five years ago. Until this moment, he had never remembered it.”

(The Prologue made me weep.)

Zuko is from Avatar: The Last Airbender … coming soon to a television near you. ... I hope we find out next weekend in NY!
