Summary
"Zuko, how many times do I have to repeat it?" came his mother's strict voice, "You are never to use your bending outside the Ember Island residence. Especially not at the palace."
He grudgingly stifled the flames.
"Why do I have to hide it? Zuli doesn't."
Ursa sighed.
"No matter how much Ozai belittles you for the lack of abilities, you are forbidden to reveal them. Do you understand?"
An adult take on the ATLA Universe.

How To Be Broke For Dummies by sillylittlerobot

Summary
On Zuko's eighteenth birthday he finally does it.
He packs up everything and leaves his childhood home behind, away from his abusive father to forge his own path in life. He leaves behind his fancy muscle car, his room the size of a small apartment, and cuts off every last tie he has to Ozai; including his financial ties.
Before he starts college, Zuko realizes that he has no idea how to not have money. That money doesn't just magically spawn in his wallet anymore. He needs someone to teach him how to be poor. Because what, exactly, is student loan debt?
"Katara I thought you said we were having a struggle meal."
"We are!"
"That's not a meal, that's just a tortilla with butter."
Modern day A/U in which Katara teaches Zuko how to be a successful broke college kid.

Summary
Zuko loathes the man up on the Fire Lord's throne. Who burned him and looked down upon him. Whatever happens, he will not end up like him. He refuses to become a mad man, a horrible tyrant that Ozai is, and despises how he had driven his mother away due to paranoia and obsessiveness. Zuko won't become the person his mother feared him to be.
But then... Katara arrives. His precious, lovely soulmate. An enemy of their kingdom, a girl who comes from a dying tribe. Someone who he's willing to burn the world for just as his father had done countless times for Ursa.
He prays for his mother's forgiveness, even if that won't do as much good. They're the same after all.
Zuko's his father's child.

Summary
Sokka was immediately filled with a sense of dread. He looked down at his wrist.
Two swords crossed over each other, surrounded by an intricate design of lilies. Red lilies.
Sokka gasped, rubbing at his mark in an attempt to wipe it off. It had to be some kind of mistake. There was no way his soulmark was red. It couldn't be.
//
Zuko took a few deep breaths, leaning against the post. He was simply imagining things. His tutors always said he had an overactive imagination. That's all it was.
Slowly, he lifted his arm into his eyesight again, looking closer this time.
Yeah. That was definitely a soulmark. And it was blue.

Summary
After years imprisoned, Princess Azula vanishes into the Forgetful Valley. Fire Lord Zuko sends Suki and the Kyoshi Warriors to bring her back, dead or alive.
Two years of fruitless searching leave Suki haunted by failure, her determination curdling into obsession. When Zuko pulls her from the mission and sends her to Ember Island under the guise of rest, she finds herself adrift. Then she meets Natsumi, a stranger far removed from the war, beautiful and steady in ways Suki no longer feels she deserves.
But the world has not forgotten Azula. Aang begins to dream, danger stirs, and at the center of it all lies the missing princess, waiting to be found.

Tides of a New Moon by TheMistyBlackCloud

Summary
Avatar Aang is found by the Fire Nation's circus and captured. Acrobat, Ty Lee, interferes and frees him, marking a start of a new journey for them both. Aside from being a survivor of a horrible genocide and his small, though harrowing captivity time with the Fire Nation, leaving terrible scars on the young Avatar, he was already in love with her at first sight. Alternatively Prince Zuko's life is more complicated, not only having to chase them, but on a journey with Katara of the Southern Water Tribe. Their past scars loom over them, past trauma and mutual loss leading to conflicting emotions of all type, that eventually flourishes into a unfamiliar road for both as well. The tone of this is going to be a darker, gritter, more serious, one of the Avatar's universe. (AU)

Summary
“Actually, I have a question,” Toph said to Katara, “if you like him that much, why did you object to having him in the camp?”
Katara looked at her confused. “What do you mean? I invited him when we planned this trip and you agreed.”_________
When a seemingly impossible romance stuns the group, Sokka suspects something darker is at play. Reality is cracking at the edges, and the truth might be stranger than anyone imagined.
Canon Universe/Crack Utopia with a hefty dose of character growth and therapy for everyone in need, featuring Zuko on a motorcycle, Katara drinking coffee at 4AM and Sokka getting arrested for plundering the cookie jar. Ozai was and stays an asshole.

Summary
Every week Sokka picked his sister up after her late shift. Then he met another guy doing the same thing.
The other guy was Zuko, and Sokka thought he was cute.

Entre las sombras del fuego by AlexJiwon

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.

Twilight Ember (Burning From Within) by Anonymous

Summary
Zuko was lucky to be born. Azula wasn't.
Or,
For as long as he could remember, Zuko was the only child. And yet there she is, his stillborn sister, sharing his body, bending his fire with a skill he could never dream of, and refusing to be ignored. The court whispers. Father insists there can only be one. But Zuko isn't even sure it's a battle he wants to fight.____________
Or,
What if Azula was born dead, but spirit shenanigans happened, and with time it becomes apparent that she and Zuko are sharing his body. If it's even really spirit shenanigans and not just Zuko going crazy, that is. -
Something Entirely New by Vespera_The_Evening_Star

Summary
“I…. I’m sorry uncle. Just please-” His voice cracked on that word, oozing with emotion, “-leave me alone. I don’t want to be mad..”
The ‘at you’ part of the sentence hung in the air wordlessly and he closed his eyes letting his head hang. For a moment the air was still before it filled with the soft patters of Uncle leaving before it merged with the waves beating against the ship.
“He knows something troubles you.” Kyoshi said. He could feel her gaze boring into his flesh. He let himself slide down the door feeling drained.
OR
Zuko was born the avatar unbeknownst to the world and himself. But he knows there is something strange about him. Especially when some tall Green lady, in face paint follows him (How come no one seems to see her?)
Oh and probably when his mother freaked out about him bending water.
But everything fine.
Its perfectly fine.
He's just... something entirely new. :)

Burn This City, Burn This City Down by linkspooky

Summary
“Don’t you feel a little bit sorry for her? You know the princess’s story, she was betrayed by her friends and family and lost her mind."
“So what? Does being betrayed really hurt that much? Things like that happen in Caldera every day.”
The capital of the Fire Nation -
Caldera City.
In this city there’s a saying, that a man has a false heart in his mouth for the world to see, another in his breast to show to his special friends and family, and the real one, the true one, the secret one which is never known to anyone except himself alone, but sometimes that hidden truth may turn out to be another lie. The imperial city is a city full of political games - an unrivaled amusement park.
“People betray people. These things… they happen all over this city.”
—
or:
Months after Azula disappeared during the search for her and Zuko's mother, she suddenly reappears before the Fire Nation imperial court surprisingly sane and with a surprise announcement: she's engaged and will marry on her eighteenth birthday. With no direct heir for the throne besides his sister Zuko is forced to welcome her into his court. In a post war fire nation Zuko is desperate to figure out if Azula is on his side.
