Summary
"We're going to be alcoholics by the time we're thirty," Sokka sighed.
"You think we'll live to be thirty?" Zuko asked, honestly thrilled. Sokka had pretty good instincts. Perhaps Zuko should reevaluate his long term goals. He could start by having long term goals.
A more likely alternative was that Sokka was just a hopeless optimist. It just went to show, you never truly saw another man until you stood shoulder to shoulder against a fleet of war balloons intent on raining death upon the city you loved.
Zuko was just a normal guy with normal interests. He liked theatre, burglary, crotchety ostrich horses, watching the Blind Bandit crush her opponents in a glorious display of skill and violence... just your standard banished prince things. It wasn't his fault he kept stumbling into rebellions and uncovering long-buried secrets. Fine, maybe freeing the prisoners was on him, but he was completely innocent of all other treason. Zuko was his father's loyal son. He'd never betray his nation.
Or:
Uncle Iroh took a more creative approach to fostering Zuko's appreciation of other cultures. Now it's everyone's Problem.- Language:

Summary
Ninety-six years after the last appearance of Sozin’s Comet, a freshly burned and banished thirteen-year-old Prince Zuko discovers a strange boy frozen in an iceberg.
When Zhao interferes with Zuko's plans to deliver the Avatar to his father, Aang helps Zuko and Iroh escape. They take refuge from the Fire Navy in the abandoned Air Temples, where the young Avatar searches for any remnants of his people that he can find. Along the way, Aang teaches an indoctrinated Zuko about the true nature of the Air Nomads, and the Fire Prince must come to terms with the fact that everything he has been taught was a lie, while the Dragon of the West must face the sins of his past.
Eventually, Aang and Zuko become close friends, and Zuko begins to feel things he has never felt for anyone before. However, Zhao will not give up easily, and will do whatever it takes to capture the Avatar and his traitor accomplices.
(A retelling of AtLA exploring the friendship and eventual romance that could have developed between Aang and Zuko if the circumstances of their meeting had been different.)

Summary
Zuko hears someone up on the deck shout, "Captain! I think the actual Firelord came!"
Zuko doesn't hear a response, but soon two people are leaning over the side of the ship.
One of them is the captain, looking very shocked. "I'm not letting you board!" he calls down, and then looks nervous.
The other person is Toph. She looks delighted. "Zuko!" Toph calls, shouting at the empty ocean about twenty meters to Zuko's right. "I knew you'd come for me. Get me off this thing!"

Summary
An alternate world where Iroh leads a coup against Ozai on the eclipse and wins the throne for Zuko. The southern water tribe hadn't sent men to fight in thirty years, instead protecting their home, laying traps, using guerilla tactics so the fire nation gave up fighting them.
Sokka and Katara found Aang, but being frozen in ice for a hundred years has ramifications and for almost four years the tribe focuses on healing the avatar.
Zuko is advised for continued peace to have an arranged marriage outside the fire nation. The best option is a the child of the chief of the southern tribe. Katara is in love with Aang and is heartbroken, but will do her duty for her people. Sokka finds a loophole that they can carefully and craftily exploit.
Aka they lie. They lie so hard and Sokka becomes the one betrothed to Fire Lord Zuko. He is sure there will be no consequences to the plan. Certainly not going to fall in love with the man he is lying to. At all. Nope indeedy, no love on the menu. Dang it.

Summary
Azula never imagined that her own limits could crumble so easily. Before, days or even weeks could go by without Zuko crossing her thoughts, but since his recent gender presentation, an unknown and pressing need for contact grew in her chest. It wasn’t just a simple physical longing for him, but a need for attention that slowly consumed her.
The toxic urgency for contact increased with each passing day. Azula wanted to see him, she missed the satisfaction of annoying him, of humiliating him, of reminding him that his existence was a game of power and convenience under their father’s shadow. Who would ever want to love him? Why would anyone? He was nobody, and he never would be.

Summary
Crown Prince Zuko discovers his bending when he is five and his sister is three, and she’s the first person he tells, juggling a flame while she admires its beauty. When he shows the rest of his family, his mother’s chopsticks clatter to the table, and when Zuko looks to his father, his eyes are wide with shock.
His grandfather speaks first, the head of the table, and approval runs thick through his tone: “Well, look at that. A true prodigy, wouldn’t you agree, Ozai?”
“Indeed,” he hums.
//
(Princess Azula won’t summon her first flame—a guttering, timid thing—until she’s seven.)
//
Or, in a world where Zuko is the prodigy and Azula is the one banished, destiny shifts accordingly.

Summary
Aang is born female. It doesn't change all that much, until it does. What twelve-year-old girl wouldn't instantly develop a crush on the masked dual-sword-wielding bad boy who busted her out of Avatar jail?
Zuko's dignity suffers.
A story in which Aang accidentally humanizes herself to Zuko far earlier than her canon counterpart by the simple virtue of being a girl with an awkward crush. Well, Aang is the one with the crush. The awkward part is mostly Zuko.

Summary
Ongoing— happily ever after AU Zucest fic.
Deciding to place his sister on house-arrest just down the hallway had sounded like a good idea at first. Ten years following the war, widowed, lonely, and raising a son by himself, Firelord Zuko finds his days blending together... what would be so bad about bringing Azula back from the monastery to darken his doorway? What's the worst she could do to him?
Bored, frustrated, and resentful, Azula spends her days plotting revenge. How dare her brother keep her like a caged bird!? She had every intention of paying him back lash for lash, that is, until one day, when she hears that a matchmaker has been hired to find a new bride for the Firelord. Flipping through a stack of portraits of beautiful women to be considered for Zuko, Azula finds herself experiencing a feeling she thought she had buried a long time ago.
Jealousy.

Summary
Zuko never held a pivotal position in the royal family. He was just the son of Fire Lord Azulon’s secondborn, and brother of Azula, the prodigy. To most, he was nothing more than some entitled guy they had to tolerate, so insignificant that nobody really protested when a Water Tribe bride was deemed suitable for him.
Yet he soon finds himself kneeling behind his father at the Coronation Plaza, draped in funeral robes for the second time that month while the nation hails their new Fire Lord. Now, as the unwanted heir with a foreign wife, he must navigate the deadly politics of the Fire Nation court to survive.
