Other Alternate Ending to ATLA leaving space for a post canon Zutara

What if

Zuko gets both Ty Lee and Mai out of prison. He keeps the Warden there as the Warden continues to be loyal to the old regime. Both Ty Lee and Mai are grateful to Zuko as friends.

Katara is helping Zuko with the robes and both Mai and Ty Lee appear happy to be free with Suki advising Zuko to finish getting ready.

Iroh stays in the Fire Nation and opens Jasmine Dragon 2 and all end in a group hug at the new tea shop. Ba Sing Se Jasmine Dragon is managed by Jin and maybe the remaining Freedom Fighters.

Sukka is the only ship we have at the end. We leave the ending open for Zutara and Taang to happen post war. This also could open a path to MaiLee, another ship I like.

Thoughts?

You shared this with me already (honored by you telling me, by the way), but YES. I love that.
