Summary
Zuko does what he’s always done; he keeps going. There isn’t much of a choice for someone who was lucky to be born — you really can’t do anything unless you’re prepared to do it against the odds. He’d gotten used fairly quickly. Even so, it was getting harder by the day to keep going. He’d always thought that sometime, in the end, it would pay off. There would come a time after the fight, grueling work rewarded by rest and recognition. An end, or at least a respite, or an upturn of some sort. He still clung desperately to that idea. Losing sight of it felt like death.
Or: An alternative timeline of events in which some things are just slightly different, the timing is slightly off, and in turn the characters make vastly different choices. The story diverges from canon halfway through season 2 and Zuko joins the Gaang early under different and far less heroic circumstances. Heed the tags and warnings.

Summary
Zuko first feels it when he's thirteen, fire engulfing his face. A nagging pull, beckoning him far away from this awful place.
Alternately, the sun spirit Agni gave Zuko life as an infant. It's time to repay that favor.

Summary
**Please don't let the MCD tag scare you away, there is no actual MCD, one of the main characters is presumed dead for over a year**
--
He eventually comes to stop in-front of their fountain, the one with the turtleducks, they had their first kiss in-front of this very fountain. "I need you here, you can't be dead, you can't leave me and our baby alone. She needs to know her father, she needs you!" He yells at the sky, hoping somehow Sokka will hear him. The moonlight shines down on him, he swears he can feel warmth coming from it.Uncle Iroh finds him there, it feels like an eternity later, bathed in moonlight, covered in tears and snot, clutching Sokka's ring in his hand, mumbling to himself between hiccuping cries.
Iroh crouches next to him, placing a gentle hand on Zuko's back, "I'm so sorry." He says, voice low and soft.
"Don't apologize to me, uncle, he's not d-d-dead. He cannot be dead, I would feel it i-if he was." Zuko cries.

(Mis)Adventures of Zuko and Toph by lets_support_frogs
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender
25 Apr 2021

Summary
Following the end of the war, the gaang splits up to continue their lives in times of peace. With everyone going their own ways and Toph the only one still at the Fire Nation place (as she didn't want to return home) becomes closer friends with Zuko during this time as she decides how to pass on the skill of metal bending. She refuses to leave him alone as she watches him sink into depression at the idea of being abandoned by everyone again. Considering they have one eye and two braincells that Zuko doesn't know how to use and Toph has never tired to use between them, their friendship causes mishaps as well as growth and support as they visit each other on various occasions usually resulting in Toph making a lot of enemies as she tries to drag the Fire Lord away from his duties. Then mix a solid amount of Zuko angst into that and here we go, this thing.
Zuko and Toph just vibe in this and have no thoughts head empty, they have the very close sibling dynamic, not dating.In which Zuko has far too much trauma and receives love and affection from his odd group of friends and a therapist because lets be honest, he needs one.

Summary
Political unrest is rife in the Southern Water Tribe. Katara hopes that Fire Lord Zuko's visit during the Glacier Spirits' Festival will be fruitful, but she seriously doubts it. In the middle of celebrations, the Glacier Spirits themselves wreak havoc on Wolf Cove, and even Aang can't seem to calm them down.
On the far East side of the South, things aren't much better. A dreadful famine has set over the village of Glacier Combe, and the Chief's daughter Yanagi ventures into the barren ice floats at the first sign of spring.
- Title from the song “Sedna” by Black Belt Eagle Scout :)-
