Summary
He gathered all his remaining strength and lept out of the wreck and onto the sand. He immediately started running for his life. The sand was warm and soft under his bare feet, usually an enjoyable sensation, but it made it hard to keep his footing and therefore his speed.
"Hey! That one's running away!", he heard one of the men scream and he saw in the corner of his eye that the two closest to him started their pursuit. He picked up his pace even more, although he could feel his lungs protesting. They were already tormented through the amounts of seawater he had swallowed while almost drowning and were not happy about the heavy exercise.
"Hey! Stop!", one of his followers screamed but Zuko didn't even think about it.
He could feel them closing in but he was almost at the treeline. If he made it just a little bit further he would be safe.OR
After the Agni Kai, Ozai decides to send Zuko out to the ocean to die and make his way there as miserable as possible. To Zukos luck, the ship hits ground and the wreck gets washed up to Earth Kingdom shores, where a ship of the Southern Watertribe fleet finds the injured teen. Under his false name Lee, they offer to take him to the next port.

Summary
Hakoda only meant to offer kindness to a boy who looked too alone. Zuko only meant to accept a single dinner, a small reprieve he told himself wouldn’t matter. Sokka only meant to do what his father asked him to do and ended up calling his enemy a friend.
What starts as awkward dinners and reluctant friendship edges closer to the truth Zuko has never dared to speak aloud, and when the truth refuses to stay hidden, Hakoda and Sokka are left to decide how far they’ll go for a boy who’s never been told he deserves to be loved.

Pushing past the limits(tripping on hallucinogenics) by The_Bees_Want_Arson

Summary
This was all Sokka’s fault. If he had just done his job none of this would have happened.
Or: Sokka sends Aang shopping in his place and he accidentally grabs the wrong bottle. One that just happens to contain a hallucinogenic, that Zuko happens to consume. So yes this was Sokka’s fault.

intentions of the fire by sour_orange

Summary
The water tribe siblings stand tall besides him, a stern look on their faces. They're dressed in black, no indication of their roots other than the small beads adorning their hair and the tan color of their skin.
“You're the Fire Prince, right?”.
His body clenches at the title. “Zuko”, he offers. “There's no fire prince”.
The girl’s face stiffens, but when the boy -Sokka, a memory from years ago resurfaces- speaks, his voice is softer. “Zuko”, he repeats the name, and it makes Zuko's fingers numbly tingle. He tells himself it's from the cold.
-Or, The Fire Nation loses the war before the Avatar’s return. Aang cannot restore balance without starting another one. Ergo, a blazing revolution.

No one gets to hurt my brother (except me) by Stuntdemon_6

Summary
It's not a secret that the Fire nation Prince and Princess don't get along. They've been at each others throats since they were toddlers, and it's almost always Azula that starts it. Everyone knows that Princess Azula doesn't like her brother. But maybe thats not the whole truth. The flames that sear Zuko's face in that awful Agni Kai spark a destructive anger in her heart, and suddenly she can't stand by while her father gets away with this level of cruelty.
---
My take on the "Azula kills Ozai" concept. -
Summary
Zuko is banished with no one and nothing and left for dead. Instead, he becomes a vigilante known as the blue spirit.

Summary
Hidden in the deepest darkest corner of the Palace, the imprisoned Prince Zuko serves out his punishment and waits - and waits to be pardoned and released by his father.
Not knowing that Fire Lord Ozai has already declared to the world that his son has died.
Until a strange group of kids invade the Royal Palace, and accidentally rescue the formerly dead Prince Zuko...
— their invasion had gone to shreds since the Fire Lord had disappeared, and now there was an unconscious maybe-probably-enemy lying by his feet.
"Oh great, NOW what??” Sokka flailed both of his hands towards the boy. "When I said we could loot some stuff from the Royal Palace, I didn’t mean THIS!!"
As usual, Katara ignored his extremely valid point.
"We need to hurry," she said, as if Sokka didn’t already know that, it was his plan, "- can you carry him, Sokka? We have to take him with us."

Wounded but still determined to help Aang learn fire bending Zuko follows the Gaang and tries to treat his leg himself. Unfortunately he doesn’t have any bandages and it gets infected. He hides it well and is determined to never reveal the extent of his injury. Until Toph confronts him that is.
Or
Toph notices something amiss, and jumps into action to save her new friend.
Set right after Aang and Zuko get back from learning from the dragons and right before Zuko and Sokka go to the Boiling Rock.

Summary
He knew what this was.
He’d expected this, they all had to some degree, though none had predicted it would happen as soon as a week after. None of them had prepared for it, leaving Zuko alone. Defenseless, one could argue.
But Zuko hadn’t lived this long for no reason, had clawed his way out of ashes and blood to sit upon this cursed throne, and he would defend it with his life, if that was what it took.
Or
Zuko faces his first assassination attempt as Fire Lord.

Summary
“Would someone be clear with what’s happening on my ship?” Hakoda demanded.
Hakoda had to move past the foresail before he saw what the others were talking about. Rather who, because there was very much a boy standing before the bowsprit, looking out on the water.

close, but no cigar (zuko's impressive collection of near death experiences) by starryeyedchar
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender

Summary
Zuko wakes up the first time it happens to the smell of burning flesh. He at first thinks it’s just a lingering memory, the vestiges of a nightmare he’s had many times, but then he hears the shouts and clanging of metal that accompanies it.
The telltale signs of a fight, right outside his door.
So of course he does the sensible thing and rushes toward the commotion without a second thought, still in his loose bedclothes and bleary-eyed from sleep. He practically falls out of the door, stumbling right into the middle of both the hall and the battle waging within it.
At this point, Zuko's no stranger to attempts on his life. He can handle it.
Or five times Zuko's friends save him from an assassination attempt, and one time they're almost too late.

Summary
There is a common misconception within the Fire Nation.
They say children born during a monsoon are weak firebenders.
In truth
It is when Agni is able to personally visit these children. He gifts them control over their inner flame.
The birth and life of Prince Zuko is hard, he was born during the supposed cursed monsoon, he started to firebend late.
He is told it is because he is weak when in reality.
Agni favors this little Drake.- Language:

Summary
Hakoda ends up a prisoner of Zhao on his ship mid Book 1 (circa the episode Bato of the Water Tribe) and ends up with an unlikely cellmate, Zuko. Zhao is an absolute vile creep towards Zuko, which sets off all of Hakoda's parental alarm bells. Zhao has his way with Zuko and Hakoda does his best to pick up the pieces.
Its me mashing together tropes I like : Zuko getting more parental figures, Zhao being a vile cockroach of a man, Hakoda in general.
I've seen similar plots with Zhao imprisoning Zuko and Sokka, and I've seen Hakoda and Zuko trapped together, but not the combination.-

Summary
“I heard of him!” An old man shouted from the crowd, “His own father burned and disowned him! He’s that banished prince!”
A woman’s voice whispered, “He said he’s with the Avatar? I don’t believe an ashmaker would ever…”
“Mama, is he here to hurt us?” a child asked their mother.
Blood rushed in Zuko’s good ear. His scar prickled.
This, he thought as he all but fled the scene, This is the price of being Zuko.
This is what I get for being me.

Summary
Assumed dead after his banishment, Zuko takes up The Blue Spirit mask. No one has seen his face in three years, and he won't let them. It's safer this way, being alone. After a Fire Nation general hires him to bring in Hakoda for questioning, he fails the job miserably and ends up a captive of the Water Tribe. When Sokka is employed by Iroh to track down Zuko and find out if he is still alive, The Blue Spirit claims that Zuko is in fact dead, and in a fit of panic, that he was the one who killed him.
