As I'm in need of some fun distraction, here's a meme I copied from [livejournal.com profile] fire_lord_azula .

Name a character and I'll tell you three (or more) facts about them from my own personal headcanon.

If I've ever mentioned a fandom, or wrote about one (even in a crossover) then it's fair game. :)

This headcanon is so very win!
Any chance of getting a post-series fic that features Gardening Zuko?

ETA: Oh God, this just came tumbling out of my brain…

At the Fire Nation capital’s 57th annual Fire Lady Ilah Memorial Flower Show, hundreds of rare, exotic and beautiful blooms are entered in the competition, which has dozens of categories.

In the Hybrid Rose category, the first-place winner is a gorgeous Panda Rose, submitted by a quiet and shy fellow named Lee who declines to be interviewed by the Daily Post.

Later, back at the palace, Mai gives Zuko a look she’s perfected over the last few years and asks, “What’s your problem? Your Panda Rose won first place.” (Secretly, she likes that rose best of all, because he told her once that it reminds him of her; difficult to grow and with deadly-sharp thorns, but beautiful in black and white with a subtle citrusy scent. But she knows too well that if she shows any real interest in his hobby, she’ll be hearing about soil preparation, watering schedules and other mind-numbing details for days on end.)

Zuko is still pouting. “But I was so proud of how my Eclipse Orchid turned out, and it didn’t even win honorable mention…”

Aaannnd now it’s spawned a crackfic drabble:

Over the years, Fire Lord Zuko had learned Earth King Kuei’s greatest weakness: scrolls of rare knowledge for his library. So after they both dismissed their aides from the chamber, he reached into the sleeves of his robes of office, pulled out and began laying on the table:

“A document describing the arrival of the first waterbending settlers in the Great Foggy Swamp.”

Kuei looked very interested.

“An eyewitness account of Avatar Yangchen’s childhood at the Eastern Air Temple.”

Kuei whimpered.

“And… the secret tips for growing my prize-winning Panda Roses.”

Kuei lunged for it, but Zuko slapped his hand away. “Ah-ah-ah, you know my price…”

“All right, all right, you can have Gaipan as a colony again!”

Um, sorry if I caused offense somehow by posting my own fic-snippets in your LJ. I just thought you'd be amused by the reaction caused by your headcanon idea bouncing off someone else's brain.

Oh no, I liked it very much. :) Sorry I didn't get back to you right away. I replied to some comments, meaning to take care of the rest of my internet duties later on. But then some friends rolled up and decided we must celebrate St. Patricks day late and... well, you know how it is. If it helps, you're not the only one who got ignored: the Avatar Mini Bang didn't get updated last night.

Anyway, I liked that ficlit. :D I've always had the thought of Zuko becoming his own person, yet shrewd and a little more polished in his older age (still with a temper though, because, you know, ZUKO.) Haha.
