    Summary

    Welcome to your new double sided cassette tape. There are two stories available.

    SIDE A: There is Sokka and there is Zuko. They are sleeping together but they are not yet lovers. They’re figuring out the “yet” part.

    SIDE B: To save Zuko’s life Sokka makes a deal with the devil. He isn’t sure what this makes him now, besides stronger and more dangerous. He’s not sure if he gets to keep Zuko.

    At some point there is a monster, but I won’t tell you who and I won’t tell you when. There is also sex and good friends and any combination of the two.

    (Sorry if this tape skips out of order. It does that sometimes.)

    Summary


    They have lost...

     

    Zuko won't break...

     

    No matter how much he was tortured; no matter how much he was beaten, starved, humiliated, and forced to watch his loved ones burn and die. He won't, he won't, he won't.

     


    He won't!

     

    ...Until he did...

     

    ...

    Ozai and Azula won, and what was left of the world was burned to ashes...

    But when Zuko woke up ten years in the past with the ability to change his fate; he promised to win this war and end Ozai's reign once and for all.

    ...But first...

    He was going to hunt down everyone who robbed him of his mate and child...

    Summary

    After the events of War Crimes, Sokka and Zuko have escaped Zhao’s warship and are fleeing across the Earth Kingdom. As well as unfamiliar terrain, they have to navigate their shared trauma, work out where they fit into the war, and their place in each others lives.

    Sokka is aware that being friends with the enemy is going to bring complications, but he probably should have guessed that being friends with Zuko in particular, was going to be a bit like dunking your head repeatedly into a bucket of angry Fire Ferrets.

    Katara is also grappling with the confusion of befriending an enemy, something that doesn’t prove as difficult as she had expected with the bond of shared, furious grief bridging old wounds. (Learning a new way to look at her bending doesn't hurt either)

    Azula, struggling with the Fire Lord’s mistrust, encounters a few nasty surprises and has to make some difficult decisions. Luckily, she is a great deal better at making sensible choices than her brother.

    Her father may have made a slight tactical error.

    Summary

    Zuko tries.

    Agni, he tries. Uncle wants so desperately for him to do the right thing, and he wants to, he does, he does, he does- 

    So when the Water Tribe girl looks at him with wild eyes, begging for help, and Azula raises one eyebrow with a sneer, Zuko chooses. 

    Azula’s scream of anger when he blasts a fireball in her direction is almost worth the twenty Dai Li agents that immediately surround him.

    (or: Zuko is taken prisoner by Azula in the catacombs. Turns out, being kept miles away from the sun isn't so great for your bending.)

    Summary

    Zuko realizes his destiny much earlier. As in, as soon as he wakes up in the palace after his Agni Kai and is told he is banished. Unfortunately, he's never been a patient one. So he storms right up to Ozai and tells him what he's going to do. And gets locked up for over three years. Then, one day, he's being pulled out and told he's the new Fire Lord.

    A "Zuko never meets the Gaang and suddenly becomes Fire Lord after three years of literal torture" AU. In which the Gaang doesn't know what to think of the new Fire Lord who happens to be the missing nephew of Aang's firebending teacher, Iroh constantly has a headache, and, sure, maybe the world hates the Fire Nation, but the Fire Nation LOVES Zuko, and he can work with that.

    Summary

    With the arrival of Princess Azula, Toph Beifong, and Master Piandao to the Fire Nation, Fire Lord Zuko, barely staying afloat as is, finds himself thrown directly into the very thing he's been avoiding: the fallout of the Hundred-Year War. As faces old and new emerge from the shadows, some friend and other foe, Zuko struggles to help both his nation and the world while grappling with exactly what it means to do what is right.

    Summary

    A series of one-shots exploring small moment within the Avatar series that may or may not have happened, focusing on the detail that Zuko may once have been trained to be an assassin. And I just can't stop writing him that way.

    Filled with plenty of angst, questionable family relatives and Zuko feels!

    Summary

    After the battle at the Northern Water Tribe, Sokka is captured by Zhao.

    It's not incredibly ideal, however, he reckoned he could escape if given the right motivation. Most of which is provided by his cellmate, Prince Zuko, the boy they've been fearing for months. The Fire Prince who has spent the last few months of Sokka's life miserable, trying to keep him, his sister and the all-powerful twelve year old boy alive. It's his rotten luck to be locked up with Zuko, he's only going to foil his plans wherever they go.

    At least, that's what Sokka thought.

    The thing about war is, the smoke rises so high, so thick, things aren't as clear as they once were. Sokka believed all Fire Nation was evil, that it was only capable to destroy. All he saw when he looked at the Fire Nation was the fire in their eyes. But what could possibly happen when he starts to feel the fire in the heart of one, golden-eyed boy, who is more than he appears?

    Sokka's got a lot of learning to do, as does Zuko. Slowly, they're finding that as long as they're together, they might be able to take on anything.

    Summary

    “It should be me wearing that crown, not you. You, you pathetic you. 3 years spend bumbling around on a fool’s errand while I actually studied under our father’s tutelage!”

     

    Erratic, he thinks as her flyways singe at the ends and golden hue burns into yellow embers. Zuko can feel the guards looking to him for direction. Armor shuffling nervously and gloved hands tightening around their spears.

    Still – she is in the cage, and they are not.

    She’s roamed closer now to the iron bars, nearly nose to nose with Zuko. He’s close enough to see the smattering of red on her cheek from crying.

    It reminds him of when she was a toddler. A little girl with ruddy red cheeks and shiny gold eyes sniffling as Zuko frantically tried to placate her awful tears.

    Is he allowed the bitter lump of tears in his throat? He sees how far from grace she’s fallen and can’t help but mourn.

     

    “I’ll be back tomorrow.”

    Summary

    When Azula challenged Zuko to an Agni Kai on the day of Sozin’s Comet, she set in motion a succession by right of challenge. The Agni Kai left Azula defeated, and Zuko claimed his ascendency.

    With Zuko on the mend, the Fire Nation prepares for his formal coronation.

    But a faction of careful observers approach with a problem: before Azula was defeated, she left Zuko mortally wounded, unable to complete the Agni Kai. The bending master who actually defeated Azula, the true Fire Lord by right of challenge…was Katara of the Southern Water Tribe.

He is able to help Zuko settle into his new life as well.
