Summary
Zuko was abandoned by his father as a newborn and banished to the sea on an old wooden boat with little to no hope of surviving.
But as the waves grow and little zuko falls in, the sea stills and the spirits of Tui and La bless their newest child and bring him to the south pole where Zuko grows up as Kataras brother.But as the war progesses and the Fire nation has nearly all the other nations and all benders captivated and under its iron fist rule, the ones that remain start whispering of a place mysteriously protected by spirits as more and more fire nation ships dissappear without a trace.

Summary
Rescued from the sea, a scarred and silent Zuko clings to Hakoda, fearing the hostile Water Tribe crew’s fists and glares. Too scared to eat, he flinches at every kindness, haunted by betrayal. As Hakoda’s warmth battles the crew’s distrust, small gestures hint at acceptance—but can Zuko overcome his terror before it breaks 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? -

Summary
Ozai has never loved anyone, and even if he had in the past, he has forgotten it. But Ozai had always demanded loyalty, and although Azula carried out his every command, he had no doubt that his daughter would betray him if it benefited her. But there was one person who had given him his undying loyalty since day one. The person who he had burned and sent away. And now he has a feeling he never had before: shame.
And dammed he be if he’ll let his position as Zuko’s father be stolen by some water tribe chief. A position he didn’t deserve, but now wanted to have.

Summary
Ursa fled with her first-born Son, after the Fire Lord raised his hand against them in an unimaginable act of cruelty, especially against Zuko, once more.

Now it was up to him and his Crew, to ensure Zuko's survival.
------Aka, one more of those "Hakoda adopts Zuko" fics, with all the cruelty Zuko absolutely doesn't deserve

Summary
The boy flew up the stairs, a flurry of black clothes against gray steel. His footfalls still fell like feathers on wood, he was glad he knew how to make his steps quiet. Otherwise his life would’ve been over right there, right then. The boy slid the door open, peeking no more than his eyes above, he looked around and quickly took note of the few unconscious men scattered around.
The boy scrambled into the tower, looking around in awe. He counted 3 unconscious men, one of said men possibly dead. Several bruises littered across each of them, one had a slice to his arm, another had his ankle at a weird angle, and the third had his arm twisted in such a way that it had begun to lose air. He tensed, screams could no longer be heard outside. In only moments the worst happened.

Вождь Хакода утримує Зуко з метою викупу. Відповіді Озая на вимоги Племені Води свідчать про виховання на всі дванадцять балів. І Хакода… глибоко занепокоєний цим не його сином, і тим, що він в більшій безпеці серед ворогів, аніж з власним батьком.

Summary
"Azula’s answering grin is bitter and horrible and broken as she leans in close to Aang’s face and says, ‘Listen Avatar, I can either join your group, or I’ll do something unspeakably horrible to your friends. Your choice.’”
OR: After Zhao’s failed siege, Zuko and Iroh are captured. A few weeks later, Ozai receives a ransom from the Northern Water Tribe signed in Zuko’s blood. Unfortunately for the Firelord, Zuko’s safety is all Azula cares about.
OR: Unfortunately for Sokka, that means the Gaang has not one, but two unstable, broken fire siblings to deal with. Y’know. Once they break Zuko out of prison. Because this is not a situation that calls for torture (probably. HE'S still on the fence about it, screw Aang and Katara and their stupid morals and how much he agrees with them)
