I have so much more headcanon for Iroh the elder (I have spent far too much time figuring out the ins and outs of the Fire Nation Royal family from Sozin to Zuko) but I have fair amounts for Iroh the younger as well.
It used to be my headcanon before Bryke confirmed that he's Zuko's grandson, that he was the youngest of a huge family that bemused Mai and Zuko more than anything, and when Mai got pregnant with him at like, sixty, she stared up at the sky for a long long time wondering why menopause wasn't coming (please please please let it come). I still like to think Zuko and Mai had a lot of kids, and that Iroh is not the son of their oldest, the Firelord, because if he's that high up in the succession, he would be at home, preparing to become Firelord himself someday.
