Summary
After being burned by his father for refusing to fight him in an Agni Kai, thirteen-year-old Prince Zuko wants only two things: to restore his honor and re-earn his father's love, and to find some way to heal his face. So when a Fire Sage tells him there's a mystic spring deep under the castle that can grant him both things, he listens.
The next thing he knows, he wakes up in the middle of a city with foul air, technology beyond his wildest dreams, and lunatics on every corner. Shortly after he firebends to protect himself, a man dressed mostly in black catches him.
Who knew that being sent to another realm would be the best thing that ever happened to him?

Summary
The Avatar has returned 100 years after he vanished, and although rumors claim he's nothing more than a 12-year-old boy who only knows airbending, the Fire Nation has prioritized hunting him down.
In some parallel world, Prince Zuko would be part of that hunt, but in this one, he died at the tender age of 12 when, still recovering from the Agni Kai against his father, he was attacked and killed in his royal chamber. A month later, Lee arrived at Pohuai Fortress, and three years later, the blue spirit helped the Avatar escape from the same fortress.Series

Summary
Avatar Aang is found by the Fire Nation's circus and captured. Acrobat, Ty Lee, interferes and frees him, marking a start of a new journey for them both. Aside from being a survivor of a horrible genocide and his small, though harrowing captivity time with the Fire Nation, leaving terrible scars on the young Avatar, he was already in love with her at first sight. Alternatively Prince Zuko's life is more complicated, not only having to chase them, but on a journey with Katara of the Southern Water Tribe. Their past scars loom over them, past trauma and mutual loss leading to conflicting emotions of all type, that eventually flourishes into a unfamiliar road for both as well. The tone of this is going to be a darker, gritter, more serious, one of the Avatar's universe. (AU)

Summary
The heat was unbearable, sweat ran down Zuko's face and under his mask. His scar hurt, as it always did when he was near fire.
Suddenly, a scream rang out. High-pitched, panicked, desperate. A life, somewhere in there, in danger.
Zuko turned his head. "There's someone else in there! We have to do something!" he shouted over the roar of the flames.
His colleague Jet grabbed him by the arm. "Zuko, it's too late! We can't go back in there—the smoke will kill us!".
"How can you say that?!" he snapped angry.
Jet pointed at the inferno, his eyes wide: "Look at the fire! If you go in there, you'll never come out!".
Zuko breathed heavily but his gaze was determined. "Then so be it. I'm going."
"Zuko, NO!" several voices shouted at once as he started to run.
The flames lashed out at him like a living monster. The heat pressed against his ski. This is madness. But there's someone in there. And if he gives up now, they'll die.

Summary
Fire Lord Azulon names Zuko as his successor.
This does not fit with Ozai's plans.
This does not fit with Iroh's plans.
This does not fit with Zuko's desperate finger hold of control over his life, which is quickly disintegrating around him. -

Summary
Zuko doesn't know what would have happened if he'd stayed. Maybe his father would have humiliated him further maybe he would have changed his mind (unlikely), but whatever choice he would have made Zuko made it for him. A person can only take so much before they break after all and waking up alone and in pain was the final straw for the 13 year old boy. He's lucky he ended up where he did.
3 years after the Agni Kai that left him blind and deaf on the left side of his face Zuko lives as the adopted nephew of a small town's healer. The villagers have long stopped caring about the fire dancing over his finger tips since he's proved he only uses it to brew their medicine.
Lee has no desire to be dragged back into his father's war, but what can he do when he's the only firebender in the Earth Kingdom that the avatar he was once tasked with hunting down can hope to learn from? -

Sokka has been hated and abused his whole life for being a firebender, so when the Fire Nation comes to abduct him, it turns out to be a blessing. Everything changes when he meets Azula. Befriending the damaged princess, Sokka will learn that his new home is not nearly as perfect as it seems.
Meanwhile, Azula has never forgotten seeing her brother Zuko get murdered by their own father. Ever since, she has done everything she could to survive, even if she hates herself for who she's become. Befriending Sokka sets her on a new path, but will she continue to obey her father, or choose to make a stand against the war?
Everyone believes Zuko is dead. Little do they know he lives, trapped in a Fire Nation prison camp. There, he will discover the true cruelty of the war and suffer in ways he never imagined. When he finally returns to the Fire Nation palace, he will have to decide whether to enjoy happiness with the people he loves, or risk everything for a chance at stopping the hundred year war.
Sokka, Azula, and Zuko have all suffered terribly, but by finding strength in each other, they have a chance at ending the war and bringing peace to the world- if only they have the courage to try.

Summary
“I heard of him!” An old man shouted from the crowd, “His own father burned and disowned him! He’s that banished prince!”
A woman’s voice whispered, “He said he’s with the Avatar? I don’t believe an ashmaker would ever…”
“Mama, is he here to hurt us?” a child asked their mother.
Blood rushed in Zuko’s good ear. His scar prickled.
This, he thought as he all but fled the scene, This is the price of being Zuko.
This is what I get for being me.

Summary
Azula never imagined that her own limits could crumble so easily. Before, days or even weeks could go by without Zuko crossing her thoughts, but since his recent gender presentation, an unknown and pressing need for contact grew in her chest. It wasn’t just a simple physical longing for him, but a need for attention that slowly consumed her.
The toxic urgency for contact increased with each passing day. Azula wanted to see him, she missed the satisfaction of annoying him, of humiliating him, of reminding him that his existence was a game of power and convenience under their father’s shadow. Who would ever want to love him? Why would anyone? He was nobody, and he never would be.

Summary
Azula jamás imaginó que sus propios límites podrían desmoronarse con tanta facilidad. Antes, días o incluso semanas podían pasar sin que Zuko cruzara sus pensamientos, pero desde su reciente presentación de género, una necesidad desconocida y apremiante de contacto crecía en su pecho. No era solo un simple anhelo físico hacia él, sino una necesidad de atención que la consumía lentamente.
La tóxica urgencia de contacto aumentaba con cada día que pasaba. Azula deseaba verlo, extrañaba la satisfacción de molestarlo, de humillarlo, de recordarle que su existencia era un juego de poder y conveniencia bajo la sombra de su padre. ¿Quién querría amarlo? ¿Por qué alguien lo haría? Él no era nadie, y nunca lo sería.

Summary
Azula's eyes are clear and curious and pure. This child doesn’t have to turn into broken, unhinged teenager ready to strike down her own brother with lightning. She doesn’t have to grow up thinking herself unlovable.
"Let’s have each other's backs," she says, looking right into Azula's innocent eyes. "Always."
_______________
Or, a random woman dies and is reborn as Prince Zuko of the Fire Nation. She’s not happy about it, but no one’s asking for her opinion. So here she is, trying to figure out how to use her vague memories of the show to survive until Aang’s return, while also attempting to (manipulate) guide her affection-starved little sister toward a redemption arc. Gotta take that silver sandwich bite!
