And Zuko begins to count silently.

Summary
Ozai had never been a loving father, not only to Zuko. He just didn’t have it in him to love. He desired power, so he respected Azula - needed her. He did not love her.
But that was exactly the difference between the two siblings, while Azula had been in the presence of indifference - a possible liking - Zuko wasn’t just subject to a lack of love. No, he faced hatred. Pure disdain.
But it was three years ago that Ozai first left a visible mark on the boy, leaving a scar for the world to see. Shaming him, hurting him and challenging him to death, at once. Publicly humiliating him in a duel meant as a display of respect between two matched opponents, rivals.
And since then, Ozai had grown in aggression, in his abuse.
That's why Zuko had to leave.
OR: In this universe, Zuko was never banished. Instead, he was subject to three more years of abuse, and it's this abuse that causes him to come to his senses, all on his own, and join the Avatar.

In his first class, he meets Sokka, who recruits him for an on-campus theatre club. This story follows Zuko as he prepares for the show at the end of the semester, while adjusting to his new life away from Ozai, dealing with ghosts of his past, and navigating new situations (like an ableist professor, an infinite number of group chats, his first real extracurricular activity, a possible love triangle, and the first election cycle in which he will be old enough to vote against his father) with the support of his uncle and his new friends.

Summary
"Sorry for destroying the building you were in," she said off-handedly. Did she not recognize him? Couldn't she sense people's heartbeats to tell who they are? They'd fought before, so she should know it's him. Why was she being nice?
Zuko stayed silent.
"Real talkative, I see." Zuko blinked, was that supposed to be a joke?
Judging by her laugh, it was.
~~~
Or, Zuko, also known as Spirit, is the son of the Fire Lord, one of the worlds most feared villains, was supposed to be meeting at the rendezvous with his father and sister, not be buried under a collapsed building about to be kidnapped by a blind superhero, who is also a child.
Or, or, Zuko & Toph field trip but with superheroes.
Or, or, or, I'm dressing up as a superhero for Halloween, that is my justification for doing this for whumptober (it will also be very whumpy).

But can they see the two spirits stalking the princess's every step?They find other stuff odd. Stuff the surrounding adults don't find odd, only horrible
or...The gaang slowly learns that not all the evil in this world came from the war.

Summary
100 years ago, Fire Lord Sozin lead the Fire Nation into war against the other three nations, completely wiping the Air Nomads off the map and turning his sights to the Water Tribes and the Earth Kingdom. The Avatar, the sole person responsible for the peace of the world, vanished around this time and hasn't been seen since, and many have begun to lose hope that he even still exists.
Aang was never the Avatar. His twin sister, Anya, was saved at birth because she was the Avatar's next incarnation. Now, a hundred years have passed and as the last Airbender, it's his jobs to teach the current Avatar airbending...whoever that may be.
For three years, Zuko has searched for the Avatar at the behest of his father, along with the promise to have his honor returned to him. Desperate, Zuko has put every once of his being into this search, and now his luck seems to be turning around. An airbender - the last in the entire world - has been sighted in the Southern Water Tribe, and Zuko just knows that he knows where the Avatar is - if the nomad isn't the Avatar himself.
Yet he keeps insisting he's not. So if he's not the Avatar, then who is? And what is going on with these damn dreams?

You gave up your life 14 years ago in order for your little sister to live, and have since been walking the world as the moon spirit. While a lonely fate, you consoled yourself with the notion Yue was happy and thriving back home.
Then you found the banished prince of the Fire Nation, who you've stuck to for the duration of his 3 long years at sea. While you didn't believe he'd find the Avatar, assuming the life cycle was broken a long time ago, you offered him protection.
That is, until a sudden shift in the energy of this world. Now, with hope restored, will you be able to persuade the stubborn boy, or will you choose to assist the young siblings of your sister tribe in their mission to guide Aang on his path to return peace?
And will this change offer you the chance to finally come back? -

“Let's say I'm done, but we'll still have to talk,” says Older Sokka. “We have a problem. More precisely, five problems. These are not members of the New Ozai Society, trying to kill you by disguising themselves as us. It's us. From the past.”
“Hey!” objects loudly younger Sokka. “What are you doing, future me?”
Or: on their way to the North Pole, Aang, Katara and Sokka are ambushed by Zuko and his uncle. Somehow, this leads to them visiting the future.
