Your baby!TyLuko is cute, especially when Zuko denies it ever existed.
I've like the idea that Zuko's interest in Mai is partly due to her complete resistance to indulge in bullshit. She's the anti-Azula that way, and returning to courtly life after three years in the real world would incline him towards finding somebody who just says what they mean (and doesn't preface the statement with a comment about aura colors).
There's actually a very nice fic called Sozin's Bay that explores baby!Maiko during the pre-Aang portion of Zuko's banishment. It's very restrained for a ship-centric fic and there's a sad, bittersweet vibe to the story. All the characters (including Mai and Zuko) are very upfront with the fact they'd never be able to carry on a substantive relationship, and that Mai would never be allowed to join him in exile.
>Anyway, I considered doing this meme, but then I realized that some people might take the Transformers shippings seriously.
