Summary

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
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. -

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
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.

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.
