How bout instead of Zuko betraying the gaang and his uncle, he frees them and gets imprisoned in the Boiling Rock.

But he recognizes those icy blue eyes that made his inner omega shiver.

Summary
Now that Zuko knew what hunger was, he could see it everywhere. It was the combustion happening silently in leaves, grass, the heat on the back of his hands, the menace at the heart of the sun. Hunger was fire, eternal consumption. He had never understood his bending so well as he understood it now.
Or, for that matter, his father.
Zhao tortures Zuko. Song and Iroh try to make him whole. Dark-chocolate angst with a peanut-butter center.
Or: Zuko survives an eating disorder.

Summary
He lets out his own sigh. "Ozai didn't deserve you."
He feels a dampness spread through his sash and he pulls Zuko away briefly. "Oh. I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking when I said that, I—"
Zuko shakes his head. "That’s not why I’m— ah—“ he wipes at his eyes. “We took everything from you. And I can never make it up to you. What my great-grandfather did to your people... It is my worst atrocity."
~*~
Zuko and Aang are traveling to the fire nation for a visit. In the middle of one of the hottest nights yet, Aang wakes Zuko from a dream, and they have a heart-to-heart of sorts.

Zuko hated roommates.
But he's got a fucking hot one.
So he confides in social media for the time being, getting to know Katara's brother, Sokka, as they urge each other on to try to get to know each other's roommates.

Summary
He made him hollow you see. Empty inside, with button eyes and a stitched up smile. And when he’s had enough, he knows where he’ll go. He’ll be unstitched and pulled apart limb by limb. So that he can be made anew into whatever needs doing next. He can be as strong, and as beautiful and as fierce as he needs him to be. After all, he is his father's loyal son.
So even as he trips down stairs and falls out of trees. He assures that father loves him.
He HAS to. He whispers late at night in his dreams and his body burns.
- an au where Zuko covers for Ozai again and again not realising that Toph can hear his heart.

The One Where Zuko Is Hurt A Lot Until He Isn't by Mel0n_L0rd
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender
03 Apr 2022
Tags
Summary
He’s had to deal with the taunting his entire life, but with the mutilation of his face it had become inescapable. He thought it would finally be over now that he’d joined forces with the Avatar and his friends. Because, they were the good guys after all, weren’t they?
After his presentation at the age of 12, people, mostly alphas, would flirt with him just enough to get him interested, then laugh in his face for thinking they were ever being serious. It was humiliating and degrading, and most days he was convinced he wasn’t even an omega anymore. Like his disfigurement made him some kind of hybrid gender that had no place in the world.
AKA Boiling Rock A/B/O AU
Give it a read if you're interested!

Maybe the string of fate is a hair tie by liefstevicky
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender
09 Apr 2023
Tags
Summary
Sokka was concentrating on beating the shit out of his dummy as Zuko did a few warm-up stretches and finally started to practice a few easy movements with his swords. After a while, Zuko almost forgot that Sokka was even there and thus, he was startled as he spoke.
“D’you maybe want a hair tie?”
Zuko almost lost balance and stumbled over his own feet. Great, he could wield not only one but two swords but his coordination had to fail him when a cute boy talked to him? Apparently so.
“Oh yeah, that would be great.”, he answered and took the hair tie from Sokkas's outstretched hand.
“Thanks.”
“Any time dude!”, Sokka smiled, and God, Zuko felt his heart clench in his chest.
Or the one where Zuko works at the Jasmin Dragon and meets Sokka at Piandao's Dojo. They talk, they spar and for some reason, Zuko never seems to have a hair tie. (But Sokka helps out, don't worry)
