Post-Canon Fire Lord Zuko (and his staff) by RejectsCanon
Fandom: Avatar: The Last Airbender, Avatar: The Last Airbender (Cartoon 2005)
29 Aug 2024
Summary
A few people have asked if I would make a series for my Fire Lord Zuko fics so they’re easier to read, so here we are! The fics aren’t linear, or necessarily connected (though I do recycle original characters, and occasionally reference an event mentioned in another fic) but you don’t need to read all of them in order to understand one of them, so you’re free to read whichever ones you want. Enjoy!!

Operation: Get the Fire Lord a Boyfriend by RejectsCanon
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender
30 Jul 2020
Tags
Summary
Ever since Fire Lord Zuko had taken the throne, the Fire Nation had seemed to become a brand new nation.
No longer are people jumping at the chance to fight and burn in their anger. Instead, the people are choosing to burn with a different kind of passion; one fueled by care and love, no longer afraid to live their lives for themselves and not their nation.
A side effect of this new era of peace has been an upsurge of marriages and more public relationships.
It’s only natural that in this time of peace and love, the people want their Fire Lord to find love as well.
And thus, Operation: Get the Fire Lord a Boyfriend was born.
Or, 5 times the people of the Fire Nation tried to get Zuko and Sokka together, and 1 time they realized they already were.

Summary
"Zuko told me he's sixteen."
"Seventeen," Zuko corrected Sokka, his sudden interruption startling the others.
"Wait, what do you mean, seventeen?" Sokka asked, shock evident in his face. "I asked you last week how old you were, and you said sixteen." Zuko rolled his eyes, avoiding looking at any of them. "It was true last week." He huffed, scowling. "What? Zuko, you're not making any sense." Sokka complained, getting frustrated. Talking to Zuko was impossible. He either dumped his whole life story or talked in riddles! This time, he chose the latter option.
Aang suddenly spoke up then as he connected the dots. "Wait, we missed your birthday?" He asked, his voice small. "Why didn't you say anything?"Or
The Gaang realize Zuko's birthday had passed without their knowledge. -

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.

The Illusion of Borders by JonnyMarch
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender (Cartoon 2005)

Tags
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

Bookmark Notes:
An alternate second and third act for Illusion of Borders where Kanna gets found out and Katara reunites with Zuko. Gets stronger as it diverges from the plot of the other story

I Am Proud Of You, And All You Will Become by HarmlessHagoftheWoods

Summary
Collapsing back against the stone, the wind knocked out of his chest, Zuko lost sight of the fight as Azula lite the courtyard on fire. He could feel the heat beating down on him, but there was nothing he could do as the flames continued to needle at anything it could devour. The pulsing in his chest grew faster, faster, faster, faster, faster, faster…..
His heart stopped.
The heat left his body. He was cold, like the quiet embers of a long-smoldered flame. The Fire Nation courtyard was no longer burning around him; the courtyard wasn’t even there at this moment. He stood in a mist coated swamp, with towering overgrown trees bloating out the milky blue sky above. There was silence; a silence so deafening it brought a ringing to his ears. Zuko’s hand grasped the front of his tunic. The fabric was whole, and the skin underneath was unblemished, no sign of the lightning strike that had seared through his chest.
---
The lightning struck through Zuko's chest, a moment later he awoke in the Spirit world. Someone was waiting for usher him back where he belonged.

Where I Want to Be by through-the-stars-to-the-pavement (delicate_mageflower)
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender

Tags
Summary
"'The fog was where I wanted to be.'" Everything is different. The pitch of his voice, his posture. The auditorium goes silent. No one can take their eyes off of him.
…He's amazing.
Zuko had to perfect the art of acting as a child to survive the horrors of his homelife. When he got older, it was only natural to take his talent to the stage for entertainment and escape.
Enter Sokka, a craftsman and set designer with a giant heart who is haunted by plenty of ghosts of his own.
A tale of trauma, disability, family, creativity, and love.

Summary
Kazala smiled at Zuko and took a stance beside him.
“I’ll guard your left, my prince.” That was the side he was scarred on – his weak side, his vulnerable side.
“I don’t need your help,” he snapped.
“I know, my prince. I would like to give it to you anyway. We’ll protect each other.”
Or, I gave Zuko a friend during his banishment who just so happens to be a sword-wielding, firebending warrior woman.

Summary
Zuko shot upright, gasping and bringing his hands up defensively. “No, please,” he begged, clearly still half-asleep. One hand came up to touch his… his scar, Sokka realized, with a sinking feeling. Zuko flinched when his fingers brushed burned skin.
*
Sometimes Zuko still has nightmares.
