Summary
Zuko saw the moment the ceiling caved in and the large rocks that would come falling down onto Katara.
He ran over and pushed them both away from the debris with a loud yelp from Katara.
It was at that moment that the ground beneath them disappeared.
For a second Zuko thought he’d pushed them both off the ledge as the sensation of falling reached him.
Only it faded as soon as it came and they hit the cold stone beneath them.
As she pushed him off her someone jumped past them and landed with a kick at their opponent.
Zuko didn’t recognize either of the people and when he looked around he noticed that he had no idea where they were.Or Zuko and Katara get thrown in the BNHA universe. As they try to get back, shenanigans ensue. Zutara slowburn.

Summary
Sokka got separated from the rest of the Gaang in Gaipan, presumed dead but really just rotting on a prison ship. Zuko was banished to the 41st for his disrespect against his Father, floating around the military until he too was sent to jail for the worst crime of all: being liked more than the actual general.
There's only one thing these boys have in common: A little sister they would do anything for.
Is that enough to form a friendship for long enough to make it to the North Pole on foot, through the dangerous Whoop-up territory full of bandits and dark spirits?
Spoiler alert: No. But throw in a 40 of fire whisky and they can cobble together *something* resembling friendship.

Summary
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
Azula, former Princess of the Fire Nation, left the Palace three years ago in order to build up an alliance and take her father down, once and for all. But the world is changing - the Avatar's arrival is both a blessing and a curse, and with him comes a risk she might not be willing to take. Meanwhile, in a Nation more fragmented than ever, Zuko will do everything to cut off his weakness and folllow Ozai's orders - but he doesn't know if he can kill Azula.
---
“It’s always a pleasure to watch destiny unfold."
Azula sighed, “Destiny will not win a war, Uncle. This is the result of all out hard work.”
“Ah, but just as we cannot control the skies and seas, sometimes we cannot control the path our lives take.”
“Tell me, Uncle. Do the tides control the ship, or do I?”
Uncle laughed, “Point made. Lead on, my niece, but be wary of incoming storms.”
For a moment, the world was still, and something tense settled on her shoulders. But she shook it off.
She had the Avatar, and soon she’d have the North.

How to survive in a fucked up family, a guideline by Zuko by Nuiciv

Summary
At Driftmark Aemond loses his eye, but gains a dragon. While losing an eye sucks, Aemond doesn't really regret claiming Vhagar, only Vhagar isn't the only thing he has gained. The trauma and pain caused by the experience led Aemond to unlocking his hidden memories of a past life.
AKA Zuko reincarnates as Aemond and regains his memories at Driftmark, because I can't help but notice the similarities between these two and wonder how they ended up so different by the end of their respective series.

Summary
Zuko took the lightning, and he almost paid the ultimate price.
If not for the amazing Waterbending master, who refuses to leave his side while he recovers.
The two support each other through all new trials and battles of a different nature. Some fights take a harder toll than others.
They find time to learn how to love, and figure out who they are outside of the war... all while navigating assassination attempts and threats from Ozai's supporters, and the consequences of the former fire lord still being alive.

Summary
Zuko has always believed in destiny. When he was a little kid, his mother used to tell him he was destined to greatness.

But when Zuko decides to join the Avatar in Ba Sing Se, him and Sokka will have to confront the fact that maybe that was just meant to be... destiny.

Summary
Sokka isn't sure of his place. He has to protect his sister, that's his job, but what can he really do? She's a bender, he's not. Now a member of the Avatar's group, he feels less useful than usual. What can he contribute? Nothing. He's not a bender, his plan's are often written off.

Summary
Zuko rarely made noise. Even his voice echoed his loyalty to the quiet; brittle, raspy, reluctant to leave his mouth, even when he forced it through his teeth. People shied from him, off-put by his hoarse words and empty stare. His silence spoke for him. It said all the words he couldn’t voice until there was no need to open his mouth at all.
But when he meets the children in the desert, that begins to change.

Summary
Zuko had been wandering the world Spirit cursed for years. It wasn't enough for the Spirits to refuse to let him stay dead, they were determined to make sure he kept on dying. Waking up to an already bloodied sword above him should have been no different to every other time. He never expected to stay. He wasn't prepared to care again. Yet he did and he would hold onto it as short lived as it may be.
This is a rewrite of Perpetual by tealeyedbeing from Sho/Zuko's perspective because I'm unfairly obsessed.

Summary
Three years ago, Katara made the mistake of healing Zuko’s eye in the crystal caves under Ba-Sing-Se. She thought that he had changed, that he truly was just a conflicted teenager that needed emotional support, like her.
When Aang finds Katara healing their enemy, Azula confronts them too. Aang is struck by Azula’s lightning and left in a coma, forcing Katara to flee and take refuge. Together, the gaang finds sanctuary with a group of rebels in the war, and take matters into their own hands until Aang wakes up.
Katara swears that she will never underestimate people’s cruelty again, and vows hatred to Zuko for his betrayal. Little did she know that he did change that day, and vowed to make her his.
