Summary
Since the end of Hundred Years War seven years ago, Fire Lord Zuko has been isolated in the Fire Palace, fending off assassinations and mending the Fire Nation and its burnt bridges, all while putting off the Fire Sages' demands that he take a wife. When Iroh finally finds him a match, he reluctantly agrees to the marriage, with the expectation of never speaking to her again and sending her off to Ember Island.
It proves to be more difficult than he expects though, when he realizes that his new wife is as stubborn as a dragon moose.

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.Series

Summary
After being burned by his father for refusing to fight him in an Agni Kai, thirteen-year-old Prince Zuko wants only two things: to restore his honor and re-earn his father's love, and to find some way to heal his face. So when a Fire Sage tells him there's a mystic spring deep under the castle that can grant him both things, he listens.
The next thing he knows, he wakes up in the middle of a city with foul air, technology beyond his wildest dreams, and lunatics on every corner. Shortly after he firebends to protect himself, a man dressed mostly in black catches him.
Who knew that being sent to another realm would be the best thing that ever happened to him?

Summary
Ozai stepped closer, his shadow falling over Zuko like a shroud. A large, unyielding hand settled on the back of Zuko’s neck, the fingers coiling into the roots of his dark hair. “Weakness must be purged, Zuko,” Ozai murmured, his voice closer now, a silken threat. “Disobedience, cleansed. You will remember the punishment your idiotcy caused.”
Fear, cold and sharp, pierced through Zuko’s chest. He knew what was coming. His eyes widened, fixing on the dark surface of the water, and his heart hammered a frantic rhythm against his ribs. He tried to pull away, a small, desperate whimper escaping him, but Ozai’s grip was unyielding.
Then, with a swift, brutal motion, his head was plunged beneath the water.

Summary
His thumb grazed the skin of her forearm, just below her elbow .
The shock was electric. It wasn't pain; it was simply feeling—a sensation so overwhelming it threatened to buckle his knees. The warmth, the softness of the skin, the simple, undeniable reality of another human being resting against him.
He hadn't been touched like this since he was a child, before the Agni Kai, before the scar. He had forgotten what it felt like to be near someone whose intent was not to harm, command, or manipulate.
His breath hitched again, shallow and tight.
Toph stirred then. Not in fear, but recognition. As an earthbender, she was attuned to vibrations, to the shifts in a person's core. She didn't need eyes to see the sudden, desperate tremor that ran the length of his arms.
"Hey, Sparky," she whispered, her voice low. "You good?"
The question was gentle, devoid of mockery. It was worse than an insult.

Summary
“Stop crying.”
Zuko tried; he clamped his teeth down on his tongue until he tasted copper. But the tears were beyond his control, a betrayal of his own body. They streamed down his face, a visible admission of his smallness.
The slap came without warning. It was sharp, instantaneous, and loud, cracking through the vast silence of the training hall. It spun Zuko’s head sideways, sending a white flash of pain through his skull.
He stumbled back, clutching his cheek. The pain was shocking, but the abruptness of the violence was worse.
“I told you to stop crying,” Ozai stated, towering over him. He lowered his voice, making the words intimate and horrifying. “Tears are a plea for pity. You will never beg for anything. You will never show me this weakness again. Do you understand, Prince Zuko?”
