Summary
Zuko does what he’s always done; he keeps going. There isn’t much of a choice for someone who was lucky to be born — you really can’t do anything unless you’re prepared to do it against the odds. He’d gotten used fairly quickly. Even so, it was getting harder by the day to keep going. He’d always thought that sometime, in the end, it would pay off. There would come a time after the fight, grueling work rewarded by rest and recognition. An end, or at least a respite, or an upturn of some sort. He still clung desperately to that idea. Losing sight of it felt like death.
Or: An alternative timeline of events in which some things are just slightly different, the timing is slightly off, and in turn the characters make vastly different choices. The story diverges from canon halfway through season 2 and Zuko joins the Gaang early under different and far less heroic circumstances. Heed the tags and warnings.

Summary
Their sixth year has barely begun.
Zuko and Draco are best friends… And so are their fathers.
Both of whom loyally serve the Dark Lord as his Grand Banneret, with the full expectation of their son's to follow in their footsteps.
Something neither Slytherin wants, but accepts nonetheless, knowing they have no choice.
And then there's those two Witches.
Katara and Hermione.
Both captivating, brilliant, and completely out of reach.
Just as they've resigned themselves to watching from afar, a spark is ignited. A spark that threatens to burn everything they've carefully built to ash.
Because now, they're killers.

Summary
Sokka has been hated and abused his whole life for being a firebender, so when the Fire Nation comes to abduct him, it turns out to be a blessing. Everything changes when he meets Azula. Befriending the damaged princess, Sokka will learn that his new home is not nearly as perfect as it seems.
Meanwhile, Azula has never forgotten seeing her brother Zuko get murdered by their own father. Ever since, she has done everything she could to survive, even if she hates herself for who she's become. Befriending Sokka sets her on a new path, but will she continue to obey her father, or choose to make a stand against the war?
Everyone believes Zuko is dead. Little do they know he lives, trapped in a Fire Nation prison camp. There, he will discover the true cruelty of the war and suffer in ways he never imagined. When he finally returns to the Fire Nation palace, he will have to decide whether to enjoy happiness with the people he loves, or risk everything for a chance at stopping the hundred year war.
Sokka, Azula, and Zuko have all suffered terribly, but by finding strength in each other, they have a chance at ending the war and bringing peace to the world- if only they have the courage to try.

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. -

Summary
Several years have passed since Sokka moved to the Fire Nation. Now, he and Zuko are engaged, but there's hardly enough time to plan their wedding, let alone enjoy it. There's unrest across the Fire Nation that threatens to undo the years of peace that Zuko's worked hard to build. And it may also threaten his life.
Updates on Thursdays.

Summary
"And now! The moment you have all been waiting for! It is time to announce the tributes! Happy Hunger games! And maybe the odds be ever in your favour!”
Thousands of names, Katara thought desperately to herself, there are thousands of names in that bowl, it won’t be Sokka, it won't be Sokka.
“The district 11 male tribute will be…” Ming Ming paused to squint at the paper, “Sokka, son of Hakoda!”
“And now for the ladies...” Ming Ming said, but Katara barely hears her. Greif has already set in. Katara knows her brother, strong as he is, will not survive a Hunger Games, not against the terrifying fire-bending tributes from districts one, two and three. The odds are never in her family's favour.
This is proven true when Ming Ming announces that the female tribute from district 11 will be Katara.

Summary
"You think after everything I did to them, they'd even entertain the thought of accepting me into the team?"
"Of course. What are they gonna do? I wouldn't say we have lines of candidates for the role of Aang's firebending teacher," Toph chuckled and rested her chin on Zuko's right shoulder. He appreciated that. It was nice that someone remembered his deafness in his left ear the first time. "Besides, you're a chill guy. So what if you chased them a little. It happens! Everyone has their flaws, right?"
"… Yeah."
"Well, except me, of course."
"Yeah, whatever makes you happy," Zuko smirked, looking away.
Yes. Zuko had a chance. Definitely had one. The main thing was not to give up.
And, if possible, to ask girl's name.
OR: What if Zuko wouldn't burn Toph's feets?

Banished.

Summary
— Думаешь после всего, что я им сделал они вообще допустят мысль о том, чтобы принять меня в команду?
— Конечно. Куда они денутся. Не сказала бы, что у нас тут стоят очереди из кандидатов на роль учителя магии огня для Аанга, — хихикнула Тоф и уложила подбородок на правое плечо Зуко. Он это ценил. Приятно, что кто-то с первого раза запомнил его глухоту на левое ухо. — К тому же, ты крутой парень. Подумаешь, погонялся за ними немного. Бывает! У каждого есть свои свои недостатки, да?
— ... Ага.
— Ну кроме меня, конечно.
— Ага, как скажешь, — усмехнулся Зуко, отведя взгляд в сторону.
Да. У Зуко есть шанс. Определенно есть. Главное не сдаваться.
И, по возможности, узнать имя ночной гостьи.
Или: Зуко не сжигает ноги Тоф в ту самую ночь.

Summary
[“Uhm, I don’t know who you are,” Zuko grumbles into the phone, effectively cutting probably-drunk-guy off, “but this most definitely isn’t your sister.”
It’s quiet for a few moments and if not for the background noise on the other end of the line, Zuko would assume the stranger had hung up.
“Yeah,” the guy says at last, “you don’t sound like Katara at all.”
“Because I’m not,” Zuko mutters, not all too worried about sounding bitter or rude because it’s the middle of the night and most people would be pretty grumpy at being woken up by some probably drunk stranger.
“So who are you then?” the guy asks.
Zuko blinks a couple of times to himself. “Not your sister?”]
OR
Zuko's early morning starts even earlier when he's rudely woken up by a call from a drunk stranger. Turns out this drunk stranger is kind of endearing though.
