Summary
Sokka isn't sure of his place. He has to protect his sister, that's his job, but what can he really do? She's a bender, he's not. Now a member of the Avatar's group, he feels less useful than usual. What can he contribute? Nothing. He's not a bender, his plan's are often written off.
Coincidentally, there's a certain enemy who also wants all the stress and responsibility to end.
And coincidentally, they come to the same conclusion: perhaps they'd fair better away from it all.

Summary
Hey everyone!
Thank you for checking out my story :)This is a duel pov of both katara and Zuko
the story will just be a realistic what book 4 could have be like If Zuko and katara would’ve ended up together after .The entire gang will be included but it will mostly be around Zuko and katara in the span of the years after the war.
I will try to keep the characters as true to themselves as I can because my favourite part about Katara is her way of being and attitude .
And Zuko is going to grow some balls and be a man .plus I own nothing .
and English is not my first language but I’m trying to so be nice .
I will be uploading once a week , this story will be M for mature themes.Enjoy ;)

Summary
Fire, Earth, Water and Air.
The way they were sorted was stupid. Personality tests to access which house you'd fit in the most and then boom you share a common room with those people. He'd been put into Fire and everyone jokingly calls their common room and dorms the fire nation. Each dorm has a name and Zuko got Caldera.
The Earth kids were normally stubborn and into nature everyone called their area of the school the Earth kingdom. Some of the dorms were shared between the Fire and Earth kids people joked they were fire nation colonies.
The Water group was full of people who had big dreams and good grades but each year they were getting less and less. It was kinda sad really. Kids coming in each year were 11 years old meant to be happy and full of hope and all the other bullshit Zuko would've laughed at when he was 11.
The Air kids had the old towers of the school and everyone joked they looked like temples and so the Air kids had Air temples. Being sorted into the Air group was a nice way of calling them autistic. Lots of the kids had special nerdy interests but were the most bubbly and yet serious people Zuko has ever met.

A slightly more realistic Zuko realizes what it means when Zhao tries to have him blown up and it changes his path completely. AU and possibly OOC for some characters.

Summary
What if Sokka took up a power that he did not understand? What would it cost? And what would his family do to save him?
What if Azula had been shown another way? If someone had helped her, could she find her own redemption?
Underlying theme: The dereliction of duty and the consequences thereof, and that if you hold to your convictions and are resolved in your duty you will find salvation.
This takes place in the universe in which Aang did not use Sokka's jerky as fire stater in episode three, and the butterfly effect is strong indeed.
Constructive Criticism welcomed.

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
In one perfect moment Azula had achieved everything she had ever wanted. She had taken Ba Sing Se, ended the Hundred Year War, killed the Avatar, and convinced Zuko to return home to take his place as their father's heir.
Now, she had finally proven herself to be more than her mistakes, more than the weakness that her father had always been able to see at the core of her. Now, her father would finally have to respect and reward her, now she could finally have Ty Lee.
And in an instant, it had all come crashing down. Zhao had come back from the dead and, acting on her father's orders, stripped her of her command. Ty Lee's mother had stolen her away to secure a marriage to a man she hardly knew, and worse yet, Ty Lee had gone willingly, no longer able to bear seeing the person Azula had become.
Both heartbroken and distraught Azula and Ty Lee must now return home to the Fire Nation to face their destinies...but destiny has a way of turning out in unexpected ways.
Or
The final part of my very long TyZula redemption arch series.

Summary
Justice is slower than fire. And it burns colder.
In a post-war Fire Nation clinging to old power in new clothes, a widow demands justice for her husband’s death. Her accusation? Lord Ryoku—noble, untouchable, the face of everything Zuko’s court pretends is past.
But the court is still a battlefield. The nobles close ranks. The law twists. Truth drowns in procedure. And Zuko stands at the center, the crown heavier than ever, forced to decide whether justice is something the Fire Nation can afford—or something it cannot survive.
A political thriller in five parts. No bending battles. No easy victories. Just law, legacy, and the slow, suffocating weight of leadership.
Sometimes the only thing that burns faster than lies... is silence.

Summary
Sixteen-year-old Zuko doesn’t have much left: no honor, no throne, and no hope—only the burning need to capture the Avatar. So when a powerful, older version of himself crashes into his training session out of nowhere, Zuko figures his luck is finally turning.
Except... It's not.
Fire Lord Zuko, moments after a fatal lightning strike during his battle with Azula, wakes up years in the past—face-to-face with the angry, banished prince he used to be. Time travel was definitely not part of the plan.

Summary
Kanasu always knew this day would come. As the daughter of two countries at war, she was never truly safe in the Fire Nation. Her dad had tried to protect her, but when she’s finally discovered, she is forced to flee the home that refused to claim her.
Just when it feels like even the ocean is against her too, she is saved by the prince of the very nation she‘s running from.
She fights him at every turn, challenging his beliefs and patience. But as days pass, the lines between captor and captive blur. The tides are shifting, and for the first time in his life, Zuko wonders if he'll burn in the flames of rage or let the water pull him somewhere new.

The Fire Lord and His Sun Spirit Husband by zuzuduck

Summary
Scarred by the brutal Agni Kai in body and soul, Prince Zuko is not banished—but chosen. Agnis (my oc), the mortal incarnation of the Great Sun Spirit Agni, takes the broken boy under his wing, healing his wounds and teaching him the sacred truth of firebending. Under Agnis’ guidance, Zuko flourishes, his heart kindling with gratitude, then reverence… and finally, an all-consuming love for the man who became his master, his friend, and—inescapably—the only light he craves to possess.
In other words, Zuko was meant to worship the sun—not to crave him in his bed.

Summary
This story is an alternate continuation of my completed work We Can’t Choose Us.
Chapters 1–16 are exactly the same as in that version, so if you’ve already read them, you can start right here.
But if you’re new to the story, I recommend starting from the beginning for the full emotional context.
📖 You can read Chapters 1–16 here:
https://archiveofourown.org/works/62580298/chapters/160180546In this version, I changed one decision, and it led to a very different ending.
Because so many of you asked for it. Because so many of you believed they deserved more.Series

Katara strikes a deal with a Spirit to help find out his unfinished business after he saves her from a demon. Easy, right? Only, Zuko isn't sure what his unfinished business is. Zuko's not even sure how he became a spirit. The longer that they get to know each other, the more Katara is uncertain if she can handle finding out.

Summary
Nearly a year after the end of the Hundred Year War, Sakari and Zuko are settling into life in the Fire Nation Palace. At least, as much as two people navigating a secret relationship while taking on extensive political duties and staving off the occasional assassination attempt can ‘settle in’. But they’re handling it.
However, when a sudden influx of attacks occurs, it becomes clear that there is a darker force rising against Zuko. Sakari is determined to put an end to it and will stop at nothing to ensure Zuko is safe, but little does she know an old foe is plotting her demise.

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. -
