    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)

    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)

    Summary

    Firebenders’ skin doesn’t burn easily. Fire Lord Ozai knows this.

    When Crown Prince Zuko kneels before him with tears streaming down his face, the Fire Lord understands that it will take a considerable amount of effort to brand him.

    It would be shameful for a crown prince to bear the mark of a coward, after all. A banished prince, on the other hand...

    Well, if he survives long enough for it to scar, that is. Ozai is indifferent to either outcome.

    Summary

    Two instances where Zuko and Sokka take care of each other in difficult situations.

    Chapters 1 and 2 - Zuko takes care of Sokka
    Chapters 3 and 4 - Sokka takes care of Zuko

    Midwest Bi Disaster Zukka, but can definitely be read as a stand-alone as long as you know the two are in a relationship and just want to read about some love and care. :)

    Summary

    Prince Zuko is sent on an (unwilling) world tour. His first stop is the Southern Water Tribe, where he plans to play diplomat for a few weeks, see a little bit of the charming (if cold) village where the Avatar was currently learning to waterbend, and learn how to hunt penguin seals. He doesn’t quite expect the chief’s daughter to catch him first. Explicit Smut, Mentions of Trauma, Mental Illness, and All the Feels. You’re welcome. For Zutara Mini Bang 2021.
    .
    .
    He can’t think about the disaster that led him here, not when he’s thanking every spirit in existence that fate had led him right into Katara’s bed. He thinks of the Fire Lord—his busy-body, interfering, utterly beloved Uncle—who’d thoughtfully suggested one afternoon that the future Fire Lord—Zuko, of course—should really see the world before becoming the leader of the most powerful nation on it. Then Katara is peeling off his trousers and the Fire Nation is the last thing on his mind.

    Push and pull, fire and water.

    The sun bathing the side of a mountain in shadow.

    Prince Zuko has abandoned the Great War with a group of Masters too old to fight any longer, but outside the abandoned Ba Sing Se, it wages on. When he is cursed by a demon consumed by hate, he undertakes a journey to save his life. He must determine whether to live in the shadows or step into the light — and rely on those he’s only just met to save the world and right the evils of the Fire Nation.

    Summary

     “What about their baby?  They had a son, didn't they? "

     The smile faded from the princess's face, “Yeah, they had a baby.  Chi You, the dragon warrior.  "

     

     “He unified the Fire Nation!  He was the first Fire Lord! "

     "It was a pitiful life."

     Zuko tilted his head.  What did that have to do with it?  Seeing his confusion, she hugged him, “He wasn't human enough to be with humans, but not divine enough to be with him, his father.  "

     "But he was a hero!"

     “Heroes don't always live happily.   - she told him sadly - They burn quickly. "

    Summary

    Prince Zuko - the grouchy teenager who has had poor parenting and just needs a new hobby and friends who will wrap him in a fluffy blanket like a sushi roll and take care of him. He is a grumpy cat and we love him.

    Summary

    Zuko doesn’t show up for class that morning.

    If it were Haru, or Teo, or Jet-especially if it were Jet-Sokka wouldn’t bat an eye. But Zuko’s father is fastidious about everything. Grades, appearance, attendance; Zuko is lacking in none of them.

    So there’s no reason for him to not be in homeroom, or Calculus, or Honors English IV.

    -

    Modern AU where Zuko and Sokka have been dating for nearly a year when Zuko's father gives him his scar.

    Summary

    There's an owl. It's not a cat-owl or a badger-owl or even an owl-deer.  It's an owl, it's huge, and it's not pleased to see them.

    "Humans. What are you doing in my library?"

    Zhao bows deeply to it. "Honoured spirit, I am a humble seeker of knowledge. I had heard of the wonders of your library and wished to see it for myself."

    What follows is the most nauseating combination of flattery and lies Zuko has heard for a long time. Not that Zuko has the right to accuse an honourable Fire Nation citizen of lying. And he should want the spirit to believe Zhao. Right?

    Right. Anyway. Something something knowledge for the sake of knowledge. Honoring the spirits that keep our sailors safe and bear us where we need to go.

    "And your companion?" the owl asks. Wan Shi Tong, whose name literally means the guy who knows everything. And he can't hear what utter moosebullshit Zhao is spouting? Really?

    "Him?" Zhao says. He pats Zuko's shoulder, and Zuko grits his teeth. "He's my assistant.  A bit simple, but he can follow orders. I'll ensure he doesn't trouble you."

    Or,

    Zuko goes to the library. He ends up staying for three years.

    Summary

    During one of Zuko's middle-of-the-night palace wanderings, he accidentally stumbled upon a secret passage that leads to a cell containing one very much alive Lu Ten.

    That was two weeks ago. Iroh and Zuko are delighted, and Sokka is delighted that they're delighted.
    Only problem is? Sokka and Lu Ten do not get along.
    At all.

    ... Until an assassination attempt comes a little too close to success, leaving Zuko badly injured.

    It turns out Sokka and Lu Ten get along pretty well when they're going on a roadtrip across the Fire Nation to hunt down the person who almost killed their precious turtleduck.
