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)
(Ongoing Russian translation now available!)

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
Out of everything Zuko couldn’t change about his life, he was glad he at least had the ability to make a difference in the lives of others.
He didn’t consider it crime fighting or being a hero. In truth, he tried to avoid putting a real label on it at all. He simply wore a mask, put on a dark suit, and he went around at night making sure people weren’t getting taken advantage of.
Or something like that.The Blue Spirit comes across a guy getting abducted, but before he can do anything about it, the guy... rescues himself?

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.

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
Azula jamás imaginó que sus propios límites podrían desmoronarse con tanta facilidad. Antes, días o incluso semanas podían pasar sin que Zuko cruzara sus pensamientos, pero desde su reciente presentación de género, una necesidad desconocida y apremiante de contacto crecía en su pecho. No era solo un simple anhelo físico hacia él, sino una necesidad de atención que la consumía lentamente.
La tóxica urgencia de contacto aumentaba con cada día que pasaba. Azula deseaba verlo, extrañaba la satisfacción de molestarlo, de humillarlo, de recordarle que su existencia era un juego de poder y conveniencia bajo la sombra de su padre. ¿Quién querría amarlo? ¿Por qué alguien lo haría? Él no era nadie, y nunca lo sería.

"What if it happened to you on a different day?
On a bridge where there wasn't a rail in the way?
Or a neighborhood street where the little kids play?
Or the Angeles Crest in the snow or the rain?
What if you weren't alone? There were kids in the car
What if you were remote? No one knows where you are
If you changed anything, would you not have survived?
You're alive, you're alive, you're alive"or
