Summary
A collection of Zuko-centric one-shots that can be read independently with the exception of the ‘Flares’ series.
Fics mostly contain angst, hurt/comfort, whump, some humor, and of course the generic “The gaang finds out how Zuko got his scar”

Summary
“We are not hugging the evil out of Zuko, Sokka.”
“No, I have an even better idea.” There's a lopsided grin playing across his features and a determined glint to his relentlessly blue eyes. It looks stupid to Katara. In retrospect, it really should have looked stupider. “What Zuko needs—” His voice becomes low and monotonous as the history lessons Gran-gran liked to dish out, and he whips a seal-walrus mustache from his pocket and plasters it onto his face with embarrassing levels of enthusiasm. “—is therapy.”
“Where the hell did you get that mustache, Sokka?”
—
(Or, the Gaang attempts to give Zuko therapy. Zuko just wishes Sokka would stop interrogating him with a mustache.)

Summary
There was a hand on his back, softly rubbing a soothing pattern against his shoulders. Zuko flinched away from the touch as much as he could while his stomach rebelled. It wasn't enough and the hand stayed where it was.
It took a few minutes before he was able to stop dry heaving. When it was clear that nothing else was going to come up, Zuko rolled himself fully back onto the sleeping bag. His head hurt, it hurt a lot. Usually, his head felt fine after sleeping but today his brain felt expanded in his skull, pushing up against the inside and mashing all the squishy bits together.
He wanted to get up, wanted to get away from whoever was tucking him back into the warmth of his sleeping bag. He whined low in his throat as the hands nudged his arms into the bag, the sound leaving his throat with a rasp. His eyes weren't focusing on anything, which wasn't out of the norm for his left side, but his right eye was fine. He should be fine. He was fine.
(He wasn't fine.)
“Are you okay?” A deep voice asked.
(Zuko becomes a middle child, everyone is horrified by the new information that comes to light, and Hakoda wonders who he has to kill to make this scarred boy happy.

Summary
Zuko couldn't force himself to stop trembling.
Ever since he and Sokka had broken into the prison and freed some of its prisoners, Sokka and Katara's father Hakoda included, Zuko couldn't stop shaking.
At this point, he knew that a breakdown was imminent.
(Part one of Zuko-centric angst/hurt/comfort fic)
Edit: 03/01/2024
I made some major changes and updates to this while I was rereading it to prepare for writing the next work in this series (Yes yes I know, after almost two years I am picking this back up)Series

Summary
The boy flew up the stairs, a flurry of black clothes against gray steel. His footfalls still fell like feathers on wood, he was glad he knew how to make his steps quiet. Otherwise his life would’ve been over right there, right then. The boy slid the door open, peeking no more than his eyes above, he looked around and quickly took note of the few unconscious men scattered around.
The boy scrambled into the tower, looking around in awe. He counted 3 unconscious men, one of said men possibly dead. Several bruises littered across each of them, one had a slice to his arm, another had his ankle at a weird angle, and the third had his arm twisted in such a way that it had begun to lose air. He tensed, screams could no longer be heard outside. In only moments the worst happened.

Summary
Zuko could swear he recognized Chit Sang from somewhere. He was 100% certain he had seen the man before the Boiling Rock. But for some reason, he couldn't place him anywhere.
Chit Sang was faced with a very similar dilemma. He was fairly certain he was staring at the Crown Prince.

Elemental school or some shit by Firelord_Lee_Fromtheteashop

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.

Summary
So, Sokka’s brilliant brain tried to piece together more of the clues that defined their resident walking mystery:
1: Zuko seems really… strange. Right now. Emotionally speaking. Kinda like Sokka after the eclipse where his invasion plan was thwarted and a lot of good people got taken prisoner and they ultimately failed to stop the Fire Lord
2: Zuko’s a good warrior. With lots of experience, and not just in bouts. Like as if he had a commission, before, as an officer. Besides the whole "yelling boat guy" position he seemed to have when he hunted Aang
3: Katara once mentioned that Zuko mentioned that his scar was the mark of a banished prince. Maybe "banishment" in the Fire Nation is different than at the South Pole, but it still seemed like a bad thing that was a consequence of a different bad thing
4: Zuko’s done some objectively bad things
5: Zuko gets nightmares. Bad ones
Sokka's brain wasn’t really liking the look of the puzzle.
[or where the Gaang try to piece together the clues about Zuko, stop the Fire Lord, and save the world. "Try" being the operative word. Tweens and teens are not known for their observational skills]

Summary
“So, to put this together,” Toph says to Aang in a highly-measured tone that she didn’t know she even had the capacity for. “You were sparring, you had Zuko on the ground, and you held flames close to his, you know, scarred face?”
