Summary
Sixteen-year-old Zuko doesn’t have much left: no honor, no throne, and no hope—only the burning need to capture the Avatar. So when a powerful, older version of himself crashes into his training session out of nowhere, Zuko figures his luck is finally turning.
Except... It's not.
Fire Lord Zuko, moments after a fatal lightning strike during his battle with Azula, wakes up years in the past—face-to-face with the angry, banished prince he used to be. Time travel was definitely not part of the plan.

Summary
Fire Lord Azulon names Zuko as his successor.
This does not fit with Ozai's plans.
This does not fit with Iroh's plans.
This does not fit with Zuko's desperate finger hold of control over his life, which is quickly disintegrating around him. -

Avatar Zuko AU I made from spite by Avis_121
Fandom: Avatar: The Last Airbender (Cartoon 2005)
20 Dec 2025
Summary
A rewrite of Avatar; The Last Airbender.
Banished and burned, Prince Zuko of the Fire Nation is told the only way to return to his home, to restore his honour, was to find the Avatar.
Three years later, Zuko was training when he discovers something which shakes him to his core. That the Avatar was closer then he thought.
With this discovery what he must do as the Fire Nation Prince conflicts with his duty as the Avatar. It is said that blood runs thicker then water, but with his eyes closed he can't tell the difference.
___
This is a rewrite where Zuko is the Avatar, Aang still survives the genocide by running away and getting stuck in an iceberg, everything happens chronologically to the show (episodes are still in line with the show, no jumbling them around) and how things are different (somewhat)- Words:

All under the name Lee.
When the Avatar comes back from seemingly nowhere, Zuko must realize that hiding from his destiny was never going to stop him from finding his full potential.

Summary
"Tell me what’s happened, and I’ll handle it.”
“...Okay,” Zuko eventually rasps. “But only if you swear on something that matters that you won’t make fun of me.”
Azula scowls. “What are we, five? Fine, I swear it on all of my titles.”
“...Swear it on Father.”
“You little--” Azula has to stop and force herself to take a deep breath so she doesn’t accidentally singe off his remaining eyebrow.

Summary
After a successful Siege of Ba Sing Se Azula offers Zuko a way back, and in spite of his one redeemed brain cell Zuko takes it. Due to everyone's confusion it doesn't make him forget about the kindness he'd learned in the Earth Kingdom or alliance with the Gaang. For over three long years coming home was all he'd cared for... It's not how he'd expected happiness to feel like.
Sokka failed his friends, Aang might be dead, and he was on his way to the Fire Nation in an exclusive prison brig. From what he'd heard from Traitorous Asshole Zuko prison life was not fun. Well, shit.
or.
The final part of Zuko's redemption back at home sweet home with best dad™ and Azula trying to socialize him back to FN standards. Good old trope, of FN people loving half redeemed Zuko, who is a confused mess all the time.

Summary
The first time that Sokka sees his childhood nemesis after ten years of blissful separation, he makes out with him in front of his homophobic family. Zuko's proposal- that they fake a relationship for a summer of public events on Sokka's home island to mess with his father and grandfather- is absolutely ludicrous, and it definitely won't work. Not only is Sokka straight, but he and Zuko have hated each other for as long as he can remember.
Then Sokka realizes he can use it to his own advantage as well. It's just for the summer, right?
Zukka fake dating modern AU with a heavy sprinkle of trauma and healing!

Summary
“I asked around. There’s one Water Tribe prisoner here, and I’m pretty sure it’s your father.” Zuko flips his visor up, looking Sokka in the eyes as he continues. “But look, he’s been here for a while, Sokka. The Warden–”
“Where is he?” Sokka asks. “Where’s Dad?”---
This is a canon-divergent AU where Boiling Rock is worse. I took the Warden's "special prisoner" line and ran with it. I also wanted to explore what would have happened if Hakoda had been the one who'd been in Boiling Rock for a while rather than Suki, and what that might have changed.
Zuko is the type of person to go all-in when he commits to a goal, and that does not always go in his favor! Here we follow him, Sokka, and Hakoda through Boiling Rock and the aftermath.

Summary
The Gaang accepts Zuko's offer to take him as their prisoner. Though he is their captive, they have no intention of harming him. However, one thing that people need to survive is oxygen, which becomes quite a hard thing to acquire if you're trapped in an airtight space.
Or
Zuko nearly suffocates due to the Gaang's poor thinking skills.

Summary
Sokka saw Zuko’s gaze flicker down towards the blood stained hoodie and jeans that Sokka had on, eyes going wide and breaths quickening at the sight. “What - What happened?” he asked breathlessly, voice raspy and cracking.
A mixed rush of relief and several feelings Sokka couldn’t quite place washed over him upon hearing Zuko’s voice - even as panicky as it was - and he could feel his eyes burning as tears started to form. “You… Um…” Sokka hesitated, swallowing audibly and trying to discreetly wipe away the tears now rolling down his cheeks. “You… had a baby. In our bathroom,” he managed with a disbelieving laugh that came out as more of a sob.
“I had a baby,” Zuko repeated like he didn’t believe it. And honestly? If Sokka hadn’t seen the tiny infant still attached to Zuko, he wouldn’t have either. “I… Oh my God,” Zuko breathed unsteadily, eyes widening as he presumably remembered what all happened.
“Yeah,” Sokka said with another little, shaky laugh.
--OR--
Zuko and Sokka learn the hard way that HRT is not an effective form of birth control and struggle to deal with the aftermath of that - i.e. the baby that no one knew Zuko was pregnant with.

Summary
What if when Zuko was rejected by the Gaang in the Western Air Temple, Zuko didn't accidentally burn Toph when she found him? This is a slightly altered way of Zuko joining the group, and his struggle to both gain their trust and begin to feel he deserves it when he does. Book 3 seemed to fly through the emotions and character stuff, so here's my attempt to slow 'em down. (2024 update: on hiatus still but will be back when my muse makes its way back to ATLA!)
