    Fanning The Flames by

    Summary

    Left behind at the Misty Palms Oasis, Katara waits days for Aang, Sokka, and Toph to return. But when bounty hunters close in, her only chance at escape comes from the last people she ever thought she could trust: Zuko and Iroh.

    Now traveling under false names, bound by a fake marriage, and with no room for mistakes, Katara finds herself on the road to Ba Sing Se. What begins as mutual distrust slowly turns into eating side by side, sleeping even closer, and something far more dangerous: comfort. She thinks it will end once they reach the city, but in a place crowded with millions of refugees, and stuck in the Lower Ring, she doesn’t have much hope of finding the others. With no leads and nowhere else to go, she resolves to wait for her friends to find her.

    But in their cramped apartment, days turn into weeks, and Zuko and Katara begin to settle into something that almost feels like domestic bliss. It isn’t real. Or at least, it isn’t meant to be. But the longer they stay, the harder it becomes to remember where the act ends and something real begins.

    Summary

    Something is off.

    Katara first notices it after Zuko’s arrival at the temple, after delivering her harsh warning and storming off from his room. For days, the feeling of wrongness persists. And then a spar with Zuko makes it obvious that her problems are only just beginning.

    (Or: Katara and Zuko trigger each other's presentations and neither of them have a clue what is happening).

    Summary

    In the palace, Zuko was the banished prince. A disgrace to the Fire Lord and Fire Nation, honorless and cowardly. But beyond those walls, to the people themselves, Zuko was their hope. Hope that this war would end soon, that their futures would be more than ash and war. His eyes and fire, bright as the sun itself, were the symbols of the new era.

    The citizens of the Fire Nation had always loved Zuko more than they feared Ozai.

    ~*~

    Zuko is banished and realizes that his father is a liar, they aren't bringing prosperity to the world. They're destroying it and everything that makes it beautiful. He spends years playing his part, secretly working with the rebels while "searching" for the avatar. He never expected to actually find him, but when it comes down to it Zuko knows what choice he'll make.

    After all, a little treason was good for the soul.

    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

    For a moment he focused on what seemed to be the truth. Zuko was once again seven years old. He was no longer thirty nor was he Fire Lord, so he had to do away with that mindset. Zuko was seven and had just excelled at his first ever Firebending lessons. Azula was five and still unsure of her role in the universe, his Mother was still with him, Ozai was plotting to take the throne, and Aang was twelve and frozen in a block of ice.

    Zuko has been Fire Lord for over twenty years when he falls into the past. Quickly realizing he is a combatant in the battle for Azula's soul, he also comes to understand that ---as her older brother--- he has the chance to be the only player in the game.

    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.”

    Summary

    He survived two-and-a-half years as General Fong’s training dummy, months as Zhao’s prisoner, and weeks as a captive aboard the Chief of the Southern Water Tribe’s ship, all the while refusing to let his father’s cold, firelit eyes be the last he saw of the man. There was no way these children would keep him from going home.

    "Yes," Zuko lied. 'I’ll help you defeat my father."

    Or: After three years of imprisonment, Zuko escapes, just in time to arrive at the climax of the Invasion of Ba Sing Se. From there, he travels with the Avatar's team - first as a political prisoner and then, maybe (and indignantly), as Aang's firebending teacher.

    (Zuko wonders why Agni let him suffer in the cold for so many years only to make him the Avatar's mentor. Destiny is a cruel, complicated thing. It takes him a while to figure out his.)

    Summary

    After being burned by his father for refusing to fight him in an Agni Kai, thirteen-year-old Prince Zuko wants only two things: to restore his honor and re-earn his father's love, and to find some way to heal his face. So when a Fire Sage tells him there's a mystic spring deep under the castle that can grant him both things, he listens.

    The next thing he knows, he wakes up in the middle of a city with foul air, technology beyond his wildest dreams, and lunatics on every corner. Shortly after he firebends to protect himself, a man dressed mostly in black catches him.

    Who knew that being sent to another realm would be the best thing that ever happened to him?
