Summary
Shit. What would Uncle Iroh say? No -- he can figure this out himself, he’s the firelord, for Agni’s sake, he can’t rely on his uncle forever.
He’s hidden his feelings for this long, surely he can control them for two and a half more days, right? Just long enough to visit the Southern Water Tribe, see some of his friends, and then return to his firelord duties before the winter months truly begin. This will be easy. There’s absolutely no reason to panic.

Summary
He took a deep breath, exhaling his doubts. Small steps first. He was accepted— well, maybe not accepted, but he was allowed into the group. That was something, at least. Maybe if he gave it time, things would get better. He could work his way up from prisoner to... ally, maybe. Acquaintance. That sounded doable enough.

Summary
Its the end of the world. Or at least it feels like it. With the failure on the day of Black Sun, and the threat of Sozin's Comet looming over their heads, how could it feel like anything else? but what better time to fall in love than the end of the world? or how I started reading Zukka fics and couldn't get this song out of my head

Summary
Downstairs, he could hear the loud, cheerful voices of the Duke and Teo, of the Water Tribe siblings laughing together, of Toph yelling at Aang or Haru. If he went down now and stepped into their space, silence would follow him in. “You are the enemy!” Katara’s eyes would scream. “You live because I let you!”
The thought didn’t hurt Zuko, exactly- he hardly knew them, after all- but it made him cautious. He had no doubt that if he toed out of line so much as an inch, if he pushed their hospitality just a little too far, he would be mincemeat. Zuko wondered just what counted as too far. He imagined Katara lunging for his throat if he let Aang get burnt, if he forgot one of his chores, if he looked at Sokka or Toph wrong. He imagined himself letting her because she deserved to get her revenge. He thought it would simply be a matter of time.
Zuko didn’t push it.

Torch To the Throne, Or: The Traitor Prince Radicalizes in More Ways than One. by WormfansOnly

Summary
The room was lined with his father’s advisors, ministers, generals-all clambering to get in the good graces of their new Fire Lord.
These people had never worked a hard day in their life. None of the hands he shook felt calloused to the handles of tools, roughened by hours laboring in kitchens or factories or fields. None of these fools knew the desperation of living in the lower ring of Ba Sing Se or how it felt to go without food for days on the road.
Gods, how could he let these shams, these clowns determine the fate of normal folks when they knew nothing but cushioned lives? Zuko had been mulling the thought over too long, but it finally crystallized, sharp and sure in his mind. Sokka had said it, one night when they lay on Ember island’s black sands, his eyes bright with possibility and fixed on the future.He was going to let his people run his Nation.
(It turns out Zuko is gay for Socialism AND Sokka)
