    Summary

    There is something deeply wrong with him. Zuko probably should have realised that a lot sooner. He had been burnt, disowned, and nearly killed. He had grasped onto a relationship that neither part wanted. He had fought bloody battles with his own damn mind for the last 5 years for goodness sake!

    And yet, what finally sends him sprawling into the realisation of it all, is a guy who scrambles into his uncle's tea shop one day. A guy with beautiful blue eyes for him to drown in, who can simply smile at him for his brain to grind to a halt.

    There just has to be something so deeply wrong with him for that.

    Summary

    Across the room, Jet's gathering up empty bowls — ahem,  hiding the evidence. He grins over his shoulder at Zuko. 

    "We didn't make a bad team, did we?" he says, sitting down crosslegged across from him. His dark eyes glitter in the light coming from the lanterns. 

    "No," Zuko says, looking down at his bowl. "We didn't." 

     

    (the fic where Zuko uses his big brain cells to prevent his uncle outing them as firebenders in an Earth Kingdom city; this has unforseen consequences. Not all of them are bad.)

    Summary

    Cultural Reciprocity (n.)
    The dynamic or material exchange of knowledge, values, and perspectives between two or more different cultures.

    “In the Southern Water Tribe,” Sokka begins in a scholarly tone—like he’s about to recite an oral history, “warriors wear wolf-tails, and keep the hair on the crown of their heads pulled back.”
    “Kids and bachelors keep the sides of their hair short. Since Bato witnessed my ice-dodging ceremony when I was sixteen, I’ve been considered an adult for a while now. Growing my hair out is symbolic of maturity,” And this is where Sokka breaks eye contact with Zuko for the first time, looking back down at the table and picking up his cup of tea (iced, which he insists is a Tribe thing but still makes Zuko cringe) to cradle between his wide palms. And then he opens his mouth, and in six words freezes Zuko’s heart and rattles him down to the core—
    “And of my intent to marry.”
    “Marry,” Zuko repeats dumbly.

    A/N: This fic spends a lot of time exploring the lore of the world of A:TLA, particularly its ties to real-world Asian and Indigenous cultures. It also happens to be a love story, too.

    Summary

    Banished by his own father, guilty of nothing more than wanting to help his people, humiliated and scarred, Zuko leaves his beloved nation and sets off to fulfill Ozai's wishes to find and capture the Avatar. Little does he know, however, that this supposedly gracious chance at redemption is nothing more than a very cruel lie, woven by the Fire Lord so that his son never returns home.

    Zuko finds out the hard way, a few weeks into his search, the true nature of his mission, when he overhears a conversation between his uncle Iroh and lieutenant Jee. Heartbroken and terrified, robbed of any remaining hope at ever seeing the Fire Nation again, forced to accept that there was never any chance of winning back his father's love, if he had it to begin with, the boy flees from the ship and gets caught up in a terrible storm.

    Expecting to drown in merciless waters of the ocean, Zuko is shocked to wake up on the riverbank in the middle of a very unfamiliar jungle. Tired, scared to death and still hurt, the thirteen-year-old can only curl up and wail in despair, awaiting his certain demise.

    That's when a new door appears in the corridor of the newly rebuilt Casita.

    It didn’t matter who he was offstage.
    Because all the audience had to know, was that onstage, Zuko was the Blue Spirit.

    Summary

    Zuko knelt before his father on the day of Ozai's coronation and said, "I am your loyal servant. I do not fear being burned."

    Zuko remembers, vividly, bowing before the court, bowing before his father, and wishing he could say something else. Something like, I will honor you, or respect you, or even obey you.

    He wishes there was some other way to prove loyalty, some other way to prove love.

    He wishes he could have said something true, but he has always, always feared being burned.

    Or

    After escaping the Boiling Rock, Zuko and Hakoda have a discussion about duty, loyalty, and love.

    Summary

    "It will," she says confidently. Yue gets it, she really does, but she also knows how easy it is to lie to yourself. How easy it is to convince yourself that you aren't talented and then internalize that to the point where you can't do anything involving said talent, and then it becomes all kinds of self fulfilling. It's why she hasn't looked at the emails about switching her degree. But she won't let Zuko fall down that same path because he's good at theater, she knows he is, and she won't let him stop doing it because his asshole of a father made him believe he couldn't.

    Or: Zuko and Yue are best friends and Zuko is in a musical

    However, a mini-vacation to a spirit library doesn't exactly go as planned, and soon the gaang are faced with one of the most inhospitable and dangerous stretches of desert in the world.

    It may even prove to be too much sun exposure for even Zuko. Maybe.

    Summary

    Zuko Sozin has been bounced from foster family to foster family since his father burned half his face off at age 13. He's never been with a family like this one, though. This one's got two dads, foster siblings who actually seem to want to get to know him, and a high school with a yearly musical.

    This one might just be for forever. But if Zuko's learned one thing in his life, it's not to hope for that kind of luck.

    Summary

    Zuko wasn't sure what to think about the tales of modern day figures living and flying in the Northen Air Temple. His people are... thorough. He doesn't want to let Aang down, but he finds it hard to believe that anyone not stuck in an iceberg had escaped the eradication.

    When he got to the temple, he hated being proven right. What's more, he hated seeing Earth Kingdom strangers destroying what little of Aang's heritage survived the attack of his people. But the day that the Fire Nation launches a second attack on this once idyllic temple, Zuko hates the most that he has to finally make a clear choice.

    He'd thought he'd made this choice already, thought he'd made it several times over, but the question remains when he'd least like it to: Is he willing to fight against his Nation?
