    Summary

    Oh Merciful Agni, please no.
    Dreading the answer, Zuko bent forwards and shifted one of his whiskers to press against the Chief of the Sun Warriors forehead, projecting his question as much as he could.
    Which false Fire Lord is on the throne?
    Chimalli blinked, either at the question itself or the method of talking.
    “False Fire Lord Ozai. He ascended to the throne three years ago, at the passing of his father.”
    Zuko felt very cold, dread pooling in his chest, chilling his inner fire.

     

    or: Zuko and Gaang are sent back in time but they're not in the bodies of their younger selves, but in ones competently different then what they are used to.

    If not updated in a while, don't panic.

    Tags
    Summary

    When La demands justice for Tui's favored mortal, Agni proposes a compromise and spirits become more active in the world of man.

    Or...

    Fire Lord Zuko finds himself entangled in the spirits' schemes. He has been stripped of everything -- including his name -- except for the golden flame that adorns his head and the throne from which he guides his country. He... has a lot he needs to process, and even more to do.

    agni has (not) abandoned him [rewrite] by

    Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender (Cartoon 2005)  

    10 Oct 2025

    Tags
    Summary

    He survived two-and-a-half years as General Fong’s training dummy, months as Zhao’s prisoner, and weeks as a captive aboard the Chief of the Southern Water Tribe’s ship, all the while refusing to let his father’s cold, firelit eyes be the last he saw of the man. There was no way these children would keep him from going home.

    "Yes," Zuko lied. 'I’ll help you defeat my father."

    Or: After three years of imprisonment, Zuko escapes, just in time to arrive at the climax of the Invasion of Ba Sing Se. From there, he travels with the Avatar's team - first as a political prisoner and then, maybe (and indignantly), as Aang's firebending teacher.

    (Zuko wonders why Agni let him suffer in the cold for so many years only to make him the Avatar's mentor. Destiny is a cruel, complicated thing. It takes him a while to figure out his.)

    11 Oct 2025

    Tags
    Summary

    As he approached, a few things happened at once:

    The Northern Water Tribe ambassador tugged sharply on Katara’s wrist, scowling down at her.

    Katara yanked her wrist free, snarling something under her breath up at her former dance partner.

    And Fire Lord Zuko found a glass of some nondescript party beverage splashed unceremoniously in his face, completely soaking his upper body in the process.

    ~*~*~

    Or, when the new Northern Water Tribe ambassador's flirting with Katara goes too far, Zuko tries to be a gentleman and help. Key word being tries.

    Summary

    "We're going to be alcoholics by the time we're thirty," Sokka sighed.

    "You think we'll live to be thirty?" Zuko asked, honestly thrilled. Sokka had pretty good instincts. Perhaps Zuko should reevaluate his long term goals. He could start by having long term goals.

    A more likely alternative was that Sokka was just a hopeless optimist. It just went to show, you never truly saw another man until you stood shoulder to shoulder against a fleet of war balloons intent on raining death upon the city you loved.

     

    Zuko was just a normal guy with normal interests. He liked theatre, burglary, crotchety ostrich horses, watching the Blind Bandit crush her opponents in a glorious display of skill and violence... just your standard banished prince things. It wasn't his fault he kept stumbling into rebellions and uncovering long-buried secrets. Fine, maybe freeing the prisoners was on him, but he was completely innocent of all other treason. Zuko was his father's loyal son. He'd never betray his nation.

     

    Or:
    Uncle Iroh took a more creative approach to fostering Zuko's appreciation of other cultures. Now it's everyone's Problem.

    Summary

    Since the end of Hundred Years War seven years ago, Fire Lord Zuko has been isolated in the Fire Palace, fending off assassinations and mending the Fire Nation and its burnt bridges, all while putting off the Fire Sages' demands that he take a wife. When Iroh finally finds him a match, he reluctantly agrees to the marriage, with the expectation of never speaking to her again and sending her off to Ember Island.

    It proves to be more difficult than he expects though, when he realizes that his new wife is as stubborn as a dragon moose.

    Summary

    To Zuko, life is a stage and an important play is taking place in front of him. He believes that it is his destiny to keep the story on track no matter what and ensure everyone gets a happy ending. Things would be so much easier if the characters would stop dying, killing him, and/or ending up in some sort of catastrophic situation. It doesn't really matter, he will reset the stage as many times as it takes until everything is perfect.

    Summary

    Zuko had been here before. Exactly five times today.

    It always plays out exactly the same, he wakes up to his uncle singing a song about Ba Sing Se, he sees the beam of light. He barges into the village. He gets hit with a boomerang after beating up the Water Tribe’s poor excuse for a soldier.. though after the third attempt, Zuko had started to dodge that. The Avatar appears, sacrifices himself, then escapes.

    He goes to sleep, and then it begins again the second he woke up.
