This a very random thought, but I'm listening to the album of little shop of horrors and I just imagined Joe Walker singing "Dentist!" and now I want it
What do you imagine it would be like if Zuko was the Avatar while Aang was a normal boy?
While I find in theory the Avatar Zuko concepts really appealing, I’m struggling quite a bit to formulate cohesive headcanons about it.
Every time I think about, I always end up with terribly dark and angsty scenarios. I think if Zuko was the Avatar, it would manifest when he gets burnt by his father - just like Aang went in the Avatar state during the storm to protect him. He wouldn’t be able to control it, so he would cause a big destruction in the arena, giving more ammunition to the FN propaganda that the Avatar is an evil, destructive being.
Zuko would freak out from the destruction he caused and he would fall into complete despair over what he’s done, what he is (a freak, a No 1 enemy of his own country). He asks to be killed, but Ozai doesn’t want to hear about it. It’s the perfect opportunity; they have the Avatar, if they kill him; he’ll only be reborn.
At this point, Zuko gets imprisoned, like Aang was by Zhao - kept barely alive, cut off from all elements. He hallucinates, his past lives try to talk some sense into him, but he doesn’t want to listen to them. He gets very sick, and the doctors are sure that he will die if he’s not allowed to bend again.
Then Ozai comes up with an even more sinister plan; Zuko can only regain his honour, if he masters all the elements so he can go into the Avatar State on purpose to be killed in that state, ridding the Fire Nation and the world of the Avatar spirit for once and all. Zuko - desperate to please his father and prove his loyalty - agrees.
He sets out to the Air Temples, trying to master air-bending. Without a master, with all the scrolls destroyed, it’s a hopeless task. He lives there alone, meditating, arguing with his past lives who are angry at him and what he plans to do and refuse to help him. His only companion is a very persistent flying lemur. Then one day, unexpected visitors show up - two kids from the water tribe and the last airbender, who somehow survived a 100-year hibernation in ice and is now looking for his people.
Suddenly, Zuko has a viable path to learn air-bending. And so a journey begins.

Summary: “Wei Ying,” Lan Wangji says, voice slow and a pitch too quiet. A second later Wei Wuxian understands why. “I cannot hear.”
Or; Lan Wangji is cursed into internal isolation. Their ability to understand one another remains as unwavering as ever.
My comments: In which Lan Wangji wakes up deaf after a night hunt. And the next morning he’s deaf and blind. And the morning after that he’s deaf and blind and mute.
He and Wei Ying comfort each other a lot while still being terrified about what’s going on. The comfort is almost exclusively physical, of course, because Lwj is becoming more and more isolated in the shell of his body. But things get worse, and one morning he cannot feel it when Wei Ying tries to write a word on his hand….
