Summary
It had taken him years upon years to learn the lesson – all the important ones always did take Zuko too long to grasp – but he had finally learned to understand when he was unwanted, unneeded. So he left.
He had thought his destiny was intertwined with the Avatar's and the spirits had laughed at his foolishness. It was up to him to discover his own path, in the end.Or: Zuko left after saving Aang and his friends from Combustion Man because he knew he wasn't really wanted and sets off on his own to discover how to help the world recover from a century of war. He did not really intend to become a spirit-figure along the way.

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
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
“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***.”

Summary
After a century of war, Zuko knows peace isn’t built from treaties alone. It’s carved from guilt, blood, and the quiet terror of wondering if he’ll ever be more than his father’s son. As he joins Aang and the rest of the gang in Republic City, Zuko carries the weight of a nation’s sins on his shoulders and the fear that no matter how many homes he helps build, his scar will always define him.
Set against the fragile years after the war and the uncertain birth of Republic City, Zuko and Katara find themselves navigating love, loyalty, and leadership while the world struggles to heal. He wrestles with the burdens of the Fire Lord’s throne, fearful of binding Katara to a crown that could cage her. She seeks to support him without losing herself, even as grief, political tensions, and sacrifice test her strength.
It is during this period of change that they grow closer. Together, they face not only external threats to peace but also the internal battles of trust, vulnerability, and the fear of losing each other. Through moments of quiet tenderness and devastating honesty, they begin to realize that love is both a sanctuary and a crucible. One that shapes them into who they are meant to become.

Summary
“It would only be temporary,” Ikem assures.
He says it so casually, as though taking care of a child wouldn’t uproot Zuko’s life completely. As though it’s just a simple favor and not something that Zuko could fuck up in so many different ways.
or: sometimes a family is you, your boyfriend, and your long-lost half sister

Summary
Zuko suddenly felt his skin heat with white-hot rage. It was a miracle from Agni that flames did not instantly burst from his fingertips as he clutched the table before him, knuckles white. “Excuse me?! You dare place guards before my room, to keep my Fire Lady from exiting?!” He yelled, uncaring if anybody in the other room heard him lash out now. “You had better have a very, very good reason for this, Zhaoran.”
Zhaoran’s expression flickered, obviously offended when Zuko left out his title of High Sage, but at this moment Zuko did not care for respect. The fact that the elder was sitting here unburned was all the respect Zuko could offer through his anger.
“Fire Lord Zuko, today doesn’t just mark your fifth year of union with Fire Lady Katara, but it is also the Day of Black Sun.”
