Summary
The man stared for a long time. The smile he bore had been completely wiped clean as he studied the scarring. Zuko’s skin itched with anxiety at the odd attention he was given and shot a scowl at the warrior, startling him out of his thoughts. The man offered an apologetic yet awkward smile as he patted his chest and started to speak. It took Zuko a moment to realize that what was being said was a very horribly butchered attempt at Fire Nation formal language. A horrendous introduction.
“My name is Sokka, son of Chief Hakoda.” He introduced with what the savage may have thought was casual ease judging by the sideways smile and the warmth in his eyes. Then proceeded to ask, pointing at Zuko to get his meaning across. “Your name is Li, right?”
‘Okay so they don’t know who I am.’ Zuko didn’t let his sigh of relief show as he nodded slowly in confirmation.
Or
Zuko slips into the scouting party that is sent on a mission to gather intel on an Earth Kingdom encampment only to be ambushed by Water Tribe warriors and taken as a prisoner of war. Zuko finds himself masquerading as Private Li, the Fire Nation scout as he receives a one way trip to the South Pole.

Summary
Hakoda just wants to destroy the Fire Navy, is that so much to ask?
Apparently yes, as his second in command drags in a net containing one half drowned fire prince with a severe brain injury. He can't justify tossing him back like the crew wants, so he will just keep him prisoner until they make it to port and then he's the Earth Kingdom's problem.
(Does it count as imprisonment if he's allowed to run around the ship as he pleases?)Hakoda and the crew slowly adopt a brain damaged fire prince. Just another day at sea.

Summary
“I think he’s sick.” Bato says flatly. “So unless you want the next meeting to include the Fire Lord puking all over the budget scrolls, maybe see if he's okay?”
Hakoda glances up the hallway, like perhaps Katara will appear and take over dealing with the prickly teenager. Of course, his daughter is off treating injured refugees with the Avatar, and Bato is still staring at him expectantly, arms crossed.
“Fine,” He sighs, and he claps Bato on the cheek before heading into the room.
Or: Zuko falls ill not long after Ozai's defeat. Hakoda sits with him and learns some unpleasant truths about his childhood.

Summary
Zuko drew back his arm from Hakoda’s gentle hold. “An accident”, he jetted through his teeth, emphasizing each syllable. Then, his face softened. “And I’m sorry you had to see this. And for wasting your bandages”.
Hakoda felt hollow.-or, Hakoda's dad instincts kick in once he meets the Fire Nation Prince

Summary
A good number of months ago I made an adoption menu for Zuko. And I put every single person I thought could adopt Zuko on it. I sat on this for some time, planning to write my favorites, but then I decided to have some fun and told my Tumblr followers to choose a number and I will write a ficlet about Zuko being adopted by the person that number correlates with on the adoption menu.
And so we let the chaos begin.
(I am super tired because I have been doing these for hours now and so I will tag them when I wake up in the morning.)If you like one of these and want to use it, feel free to. I only ask that you gift it to me so I can see your take and link it to my Tumblr followers, like a proud dad showing off photos of his kids.

The Scars of Faded Flames by I_make_shit_up
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender (Cartoon 2005)
30 Sep 2025
Tags
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?-

Summary
Ursa isn't able to sway Ozai into keeping his son around, his disappointment at the perceived lack of Agni's blessing festers into a infanticidal rage at this slight against his pride. She has to set him adrift, for any slim chance that he would live by water instead of die by fire. She has no idea how right she is.

Summary
Sokka knew the Fire Nation was fucked up. Sokka knew Fire Lord Ozai was a shitty father. He didn't know his opinion about the imperialists could get worse. Until Zuko opened up, at least.

Summary
Perhaps if Aang tried hard enough, he could think of it as a new source of energy for the world, a new beacon of hope and as a sacrifice that would remind even the Fire Nation that love was selfless and unafraid.
Yue was lost now.
But, Aang supposed, they had gained Zuko.
Or, the story of how Sokka learns that perhaps love and hate are two sides of the same coin-----
(Book 2 has now been started! Check out chapter one of "My Love is Mine, All Mine"!)
