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
It had been three weeks since his injury on Agni Kai, two and a half weeks since the burn became infected, a week and a half since the infection healed, and a week since he woke up on the ship.
Zuko...wasn't sure how he should feel about this. He was banished.
Banished.
Or
Zuko is a mess and can't handle this well.
Or
In the order; Zuko has a bad day(s), meets a dragon hawk (spoiler:the dragon hawk adopts him), he tries to (literally) end his bad day(s), drinks tea with Iroh, gets hugged (emotionally), and wonders what to do about it because he's emotionally constipated. (Spoiler:He cries)

light a fire they can't put out by GuardianKarenTerrier

Summary
Iroh accepts, mournfully, that it's going to be a long, long time before Zuko ever feels safe again. If Zuko ever feels safe again. Because of that, because Iroh thinks he already knows the reason for his nephew's silence, he doesn't look closer at just how quiet Zuko has been since waking.
Iroh should have noticed.
He wonders, later, if this, too, is his fault. If something he said while his nephew was still drifting, barely aware of his surroundings, had struck deeper than he meant it to. If even something as simple as a well-meant shh, Zuko, shh had a hand in this.
If Iroh had somehow taken his original mistake and deepened it, rather than trying to make up for it.
(If this is the shape of the scar that Iroh left on his nephew).

Summary
When Zuko first joins, He wouldn't sit with them to eat. And then when he was forced, he barely ate anything. But it's okay because he has rations left over. At least that's what Zuko said, He said he had plenty but who knows how long they'll last? He gives sokka and Katara Some rations for when they eat but it's probably because he has plenty left right? wrong.
Zuko is stupid and doesn't want to say no to the Gaang so he just ends up passing out from not eating

Summary
Ursa fled with her first-born Son, after the Fire Lord raised his hand against them in an unimaginable act of cruelty, especially against Zuko, once more.
Hakoda didn't expect that he would drag a new member to his Crew out of the poor settlement in the North of the Fire Nation, instead of the supplies his ship needed.
Now it was up to him and his Crew, to ensure Zuko's survival.
------Aka, one more of those "Hakoda adopts Zuko" fics, with all the cruelty Zuko absolutely doesn't deserve
|chapter 1 and 2 are now improved, 3 and 4 will follow :)|

Summary
The war is over, but the scars remain. When Katara agrees to help rebuild the Fire Nation, it’s not out of compassion—it’s duty. Zuko has withdrawn since becoming Fire Lord, and now, they clash in new ways: politics, justice, and healing a broken nation. Tension grows—in glances, silences, arguments.
Then, an ancient tradition accidentally binds them in an unbreakable public engagement.
The scandal erupts. Aang breaks up with Katara. Sokka and Toph write, but she rarely answers. Isolated, Katara focuses on diplomacy—until she starts to see Zuko differently. And in an eclipse, trapped in a cave, Katara begins to understand just how much he's hiding—and how much she’s still running from herself.

Summary
Sokka of the Northern Water Tribe has a secret he's kept from everyone but his closest friends. The Moon Spirit, Tui, saved his life when he nearly drowned at three. Because of his status as Spirit envoy, his engagement to Princess Yue was inevitable. But he doesn't love her and, desperate to change his destiny, journeyed with Avatar Aang to escape his fate.
Zhao the "Moon Slayer" doesn't die during the invasion of the North Pole, and takes Sokka captive. It's his destiny, he insists.Fate has a twisted sense of humor - the last person Sokka wants to trust ends up saving him. He'll play nice with the Fire Nation prince only until he can find Aang and Katara again. Because even if Zuko is the lesser of two evils, they will never, ever, be more than temporary allies.

Summary
Zuko’s arms are locked tight around himself, shaking, breath snagging against Sokka’s chest. “Why are you being so nice to me?” he whispers, voice all frayed edges.
Sokka just kisses the corner of his mouth, soft like forgiveness. “Because I love you. And I like being nice to you.”
or, Zuko doesn’t know how to be touched without flinching, doesn’t know what to do with gentleness that asks for nothing back. But Sokka holds him like something sacred—cleans him up, keeps him warm, kisses the trembling out of his spine. Love doesn’t have to be earned here. Not anymore.

Summary
Just a year into his search for the Avatar, Prince Zuko is swept off his ship during a fierce storm. Heartsick and alone, he eventually makes his way to a certain forest in the Earth Kingdom. After defending himself from Fire Nation soldiers using his bending, Zuko is captured by Jet, who is delighted to have an ashmaker for a prisoner.
When Aang, Katara, and Sokka arrive, it's too late; Zuko is left with no name, no humanity, and no sanity.
This fic has been described as an "angst cake with sprinkles of humor and sweetness on top."

wear your heart on your sleeve (and your boyfriend on your torso) by SyciaraLynx

Summary
“For the record, I hate this.”
“Yeah, well, can’t say it is my first choice either, jerk.” Sokka stretches, trying to adjust to the odd weight of the extra layer over his tunic. “Your own stupid fault for yelling at the spirit spring, I told you it was asking for trouble.”
“I thought you meant a fight! Not this!” It is an odd sensation, the vibration against his whole torso as Zuko grumbles. “Please tell me you have an idea of how to change me back.”
Or: Zuko pisses off a spirit, and faces the consequences. Sokka finds the entire thing hilarious.

Summary
“That’s ridiculous,” the prince says, avoiding his eyes and blushing. “You’re ridiculous. What are you even doing?”
“Flirting with you. I thought that was obvious?”
The prince blushes harder. He really is quite sweet, like a little tigerdillo kitten trying to act fierce. Sokka may have to keep him.
Instead of trying to fight Zuko during the second episode, Sokka does the one thing he’s actually good at- He flirts.
Poor Zuko doesn’t stand a chance.

Summary
It's his final year of university and Sokka doesn't have the time to be distracted by the stranger living next door- by his startlingly gorgeous eyes and awkward conversation and the way he always seems to be hiding something- yet for some reason, Sokka can't bring himself to look away.
alternatively-
The balcony at Sokka's new apartment is way too close to his neighbors', and he notices far more than people give him credit for.
