    Summary

    The Avatar has returned 100 years after he vanished, and although rumors claim he's nothing more than a 12-year-old boy who only knows airbending, the Fire Nation has prioritized hunting him down.
    In some parallel world, Prince Zuko would be part of that hunt, but in this one, he died at the tender age of 12 when, still recovering from the Agni Kai against his father, he was attacked and killed in his royal chamber. A month later, Lee arrived at Pohuai Fortress, and three years later, the blue spirit helped the Avatar escape from the same fortress.

    What if the life-changing Agni Kai had happened a few years later?
    What if Zuko and Azula were actually close and loving siblings?
    What if everyone was three years older than what was expected when the Avatar would return?
    What if Zuko had a change of heart earlier on?

    Summary

    The Avatar and his friends offer Zuko freedom. Freedom from General Bujing. From the forced servitude of slavery. From the empty nothingness that had consumed his life.

    He takes it even though he knows there has to be a cost (everything, even a life, has a cost).

    And while he slowly accepts that the offer was made with no strings attached, his newfound freedom will not allow him to escape the fact that because of him Uncle Iroh is dead. And after months of suppression... so too is his firebending.

    Summary

    "Scars are generally seen as a weakness. Especially for nobles. It’s unsightly.”

    There’s a moment of dead silence in which almost all eyes turn to stare at the left side of his face. Zuko keeps his mouth firmly closed.

    It’s Toph who breaks the tension. “Yeah, not to call your nation out or anything, Sparky, but you literally just said that you have a massive, blinding, and deafening scar on the side of your face. As the crown prince, that seems a little hypocritical of them.” Toph snarks.

    AKA: An innocent comment about scars leads to Zuko spilling his Tragic Backstory, and the chaos that follows that particular revelation.

    Summary

    “I think he’s sick.” Bato says flatly. “So unless you want the next meeting to include the Fire Lord puking all over the budget scrolls, maybe see if he's okay?”

    Hakoda glances up the hallway, like perhaps Katara will appear and take over dealing with the prickly teenager. Of course, his daughter is off treating injured refugees with the Avatar, and Bato is still staring at him expectantly, arms crossed.

    “Fine,” He sighs, and he claps Bato on the cheek before heading into the room.

    Or: Zuko falls ill not long after Ozai's defeat. Hakoda sits with him and learns some unpleasant truths about his childhood.
