Hindsight is Clear (Hindsight is Bitter). by GuildofScribes

Summary
As with most things in life, hindsight is the only clarity humans can get. Lieutenant Jee has more experience in this than he’d like.
Prince Zuko was a trial from Angi to either prove Jee a decent man, or drive him utterly insane.
It’s a pity that clarity doesn’t come when you need it, only ever when it’s all too late.

Summary
“Wait, why does Zuko need more food? Aren’t you, like, way buffer and bigger? Shouldn’t you need more energy?” Toph tilted her head in confusion. She wasn’t against it, Sparky definitely needed some pampering with how batshit terrified he always was, even she could admit that, but it was weird. Sparky’s tiny and agile, and Chit Sang is… Well, Toph can’t really see him, but she can feel him, and he’s huge.
Before Zuko could deny it again, Chit Sang turned to her, “He’s a growing boy.”
“So are Sokka and Aang,” Katara countered, shoulders squared.
“He’s a growing firebender boy,” He corrected, “He needs more energy to convert into fire. Energy comes mostly from food, and for firebenders, the sun. He’s only getting about…” Chit Sang squinted at Zuko’s bowl, now holding double the amount of food from before. “A fifth of what he needs.” He pointed at Sokka, “He should really be eating three or four times more than blue guy.”

Summary
Zuko just wants his family's approval. If that means marrying a woman and having children with her, well... Zuko is pretty gay, but he can make it work, right?
Sokka just wants his family's approval. If that means cramming himself into the box society has assigned to him, well... what's a few more years in the closet?
It's not love at first sight, but these idiots will figure it out eventually.
Probably.
Maybe.

Summary
At the end of the day, Prince Zuko—when he had arrived, delirious and vomiting and choking on air—had been just a kid.
A kid in the worst place, at the worst time, in the worst of hands, and had come out of it bitter and vengeful and afraid.

Summary
His body recognized the soft, warm welcome of Zuko’s room. Of his bed as they drank too much for their own good and bickered on about quite simply anything.
Sometimes it felt like he’d never leave. Like he’d never want to leave.
Sometimes it felt like Suki, like how he used to feel about Suki.Except Zuko isn’t Suki, and somehow it’s not quite the same. It’s an adjacent feeling he can’t and doesn’t quite want to name.
--
Or the lead up to Suki breaking up with Sokka and Sokka growing close to Zuko in between. Sokka being very confused and doing some ambiguously moral things in his guilt-ridden confusion.

Summary
“Hello there!” The kid’s head shot up, their body freezing. Big eyes staring back at him. Well, one eye actually. The other one was still pulled fairly closed, the side of their face covered in a heck of a burn scar. How does a kid get a scar like that?
“Do you live close to here? If you don’t, it looks like rain, I don’t mind giving you a ride if-“ The kid had already run off. In the opposite direction. And into the woods.
Because a strange man in a minivan had pulled up and asked where they live and offered to give them a ride, stellar work there Hakoda.
At least the kid had some survival instincts.
Zuko needs a new dad, and Hakoda volunteers. A story spanning Zuko's old life, new life, and beyond

Summary
"You're supposed to know. It's just this innate part of you, who you are (or aren't) attracted to. It's pretty damn obvious, even before you hit puberty. You know, long before you ever consciously think about it."
5 times Zuko thinks he's straight, and 1.5 times he knows he's gay.

Summary
“Zuko, how about you tell us a story?”
“I’d rather not” he deadpanned back “I’m not the best at storytelling”
“Aw c’mon, you cant be that bad!” Sokka was staring at him with what could only be described as kicked puppy-kitten eyes. Zuko rolled his eyes even as the rest of the group began to encourage him.
(Sometime after watching the play, the gaang are sitting around the firepit telling stories. The story of Zuko’s scar comes out, and tears are spilled)

Summary
"Scars are generally seen as a weakness. Especially for nobles. It’s unsightly.”
There’s a moment of dead silence in which almost all eyes turn to stare at the left side of his face. Zuko keeps his mouth firmly closed.
It’s Toph who breaks the tension. “Yeah, not to call your nation out or anything, Sparky, but you literally just said that you have a massive, blinding, and deafening scar on the side of your face. As the crown prince, that seems a little hypocritical of them.” Toph snarks.
AKA: An innocent comment about scars leads to Zuko spilling his Tragic Backstory, and the chaos that follows that particular revelation.
