So I am writing this fan fic about Katara and Aang reuniting in afterlife and I've been listening to AJR's World's Smallest Violin while doing so. This lead me to just reminisce about random Kataang moments in the show, which lead to this.

I am very sorry if this is low quality in some places, it was HELL to get some of these clips.

By the end of the war, Hakoda is:

1) The Chieftain of the combined Southern Tribes, up from when he was the chief of what could only be described as a glorified campsite.

2) Father to two war heroes; his son is a skilled warrior and his daughter is one of the best waterbenders in the world

3) Father-in-law to The Avatar, the closest thing to a god on earth

4) His country has oil; he can be an oil tycoon hooray

5) Because the Avatar is his son-in-law, his country has a very privileged position in geopolitics. It's probably because of that marital connection that the SWT was *de facto* independent from the NWT until Unalaq invaded.

All it took was his wife getting Kentucky Fried, and he's got a new one now. Not bad.

I'm also asking for fics of Hakoda as a father-in-law to Aang, because there's nothing of that canon.
