Summary
“How many catowls do you have to see to think it’s strange? Before you’d notice something was wrong?”
It had taken Zuko all of two seconds to come up with his answer, a scowl on his face and fists clenched at his sides.
“One. Catowls aren’t native to the Fire Nation: only the Earth Kingdom.”
In the moment, Zuko was so sure and so strong-willed that it only made sense. But he was wrong.
The answer was three catowls. The first wouldn’t seem real. After all, he’d never seen it before, so it was probably a fluke. The second would be real, sure, but he’d assume that would be the first catowl, and would think that maybe it was migrating. The third catowl would finally tip him over the edge. Because catowls didn’t travel in threes.
There was only one eclipse. Somehow, he had lived three others in the last few days.
The question was, Why? What did the spirits want him to do?

Summary
After convincing Wan Shi Tong to allow them to explore the Library, the Gaang stumbles into the Spirit's Librarian, who happens to be an awkward, scarred, very-passionate-about-knowledge teenager.
-OR-
After Zuko gets banished, he ends up in Wan Shi Tong's Library. Wan Shi Tong, respectfully, says "fuck it" and claims him - sorry, *adopts. Now, Zuko spends his days in the Library, indulging his inner theatre kid and learning about anything he can. Then, three years later, the Gaang drops in.

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.
Freedom of Association: The author is Christian and American conservative. Readers are free to be whatever they please.

Summary
(Zuko/OC • Slow Burn • Action & Romance • Canon Divergence)
They didn’t speak as the last flicker of the palace vanished from view, the silence heavier than the smoke in the air.
"There’s no turning back now," Zari breathed.
"Good," Zuko answered, eyes fixed on the horizon. "I’m not looking back."
Zari was born the Fire Scion, destined to serve the Fire Nation’s conquest. She watched Prince Zuko’s exile from the stands and spent three long years apart from the boy she could never forget. When he returns a hero, both are forced to play roles they no longer believe in- but the Day of Black Sun changes everything.
Together, they’ll abandon the palace, join the Avatar, and risk everything to end the war.

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
"So you take the knife to the wall instead. You carve and carve until a coin of light appears and you get to look in, at last, on happiness. The eye staring back from the other side—waiting." — Ocean Vuong, Torso of Air
***
When Mai gets a call in the dead of the night from Zuko's uncle about how Zuko hasn't come home since the end of the school day and their breakup, her mind doesn't automatically assume kidnapping. She doesn't think anyone could be capable of making Zuko disappear.
But then she finds Zuko's shoe hidden in a dirty curb, and she wishes for once that she was wrong.

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.)
(CURRENT UPDATE SCHEDULE IS ROUGHLY EVERY 2-3 WEEKS)

Avatar Zuko x Aang

Summary
“My god,” Zuko whispers, awed and desperately attempting to figure out why anyone would ever do that, under any circumstances, ever. Maybe he’s being blackmailed? “He’s so stupid.”
Mai hums in agreement. Zuko turns to look at her, trying to gauge her reaction.
Zuko sees it: the moment she realizes. The corner of her mouth quirks upwards in what anyone else would think was a slight smirk but Zuko knew was her ridiculously amused face. “Hey,” she says, “isn’t that your soulmark?”
***
soulmate prompt from palattes-and-prompts on tumblr: “Oh my god they’re so stupid.” “Hey their soulmark kind of looks like yours.” “Oh f***.”
