    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

    Zuko learns a little something when he gets thrown into a cell in the Boiling Rock.

    And he may have Issues with dads.

    Why the fuck did this have to be brought to his attention now?

     

     

    if this is redemption, why do i bother at all
    there’s nothing to mention, and nothing has changed
    still i’d rather be working at something, than praying for the rain
    so i wander on, till someone else is saved

    Summary

    It’s an old but well-known Fire Nation saying: The heart of a hearth is forever faithful.
    There’s a difference between running away from something at your back, and running toward something you see in the distance.

    Or: The lesson Ozai tries to teach and the lesson Zuko learns are two very different things.

    Also featuring Jet the bodyguard, who is done with absolutely everything ever.

    Summary

    Aang isn’t the Avatar. But… he used to be…

    But water doesn’t call to him, not in the way he knows it’s supposed to. And then, he is saved from Pohuai Stronghold by… an airbender?!

    This masked guy that saved him, rescuing him with two swords and a small bout of accidental airbending… is the Avatar. Not Aang. Not… not anymore.

    And he’s looking for a Master to teach him air.

    (Zuko is the Avatar. But… he wasn’t always…)

    Summary

    Sokka willed the courage to look directly at their new travelling companion

    “Who are you?”

    The masked man simply looked ahead into the night, basking in a silence loud enough that not even his breathing could be heard.

    He shrugged.

    Because that’s a question Zuko had been asking himself for a long time.

     

    - OR

    Instead of going after the Avatar, Zuko decided to fuck around as the blue spirit and make his dad’s life slightly more difficult out of spite.

    Maybe that includes joining the Avatar’s group as the Blue spirit

    blue spirit zuko au !

    Summary

    Five years ago Zuko had gone to bed on the second anniversary of his banishment, that night he woke up drowning at sea only to be saved by a bunch of weird pirates with a crazy shirtless firebending captain, a few weeks later they managed to turn the prince into a pirate. After many adventures and tragedies, the feared Firefang finally died on the shores of Laugh Tale paying back his debt to his old captain.

    But instead of dying he woke up back on his world a few years into the past, a man who has tasted the freedom of the sea can't go back to serving under a crazy lord so it was time for the elemental nations to lose a prince and gain a pirate.

    It was his turn to get a new crew to turn the world upside down.

    Summary

    “The Spirits’ attention should be treated with caution.” Iroh informed him firmly. “You should do nothing to invite them, but if they have...noticed you, Nephew, you should do nothing to offend them. Treat them with respect, and treat them with suspicion. Even the kindest of Spirits may have an ulterior motive. To wear the face of a Spirit,” Uncle picked up his cup, again, with a small pause to emphasise his point, “it’s inviting trouble.”

     

    Zuko gulped.

     

     

    Or: Zuko steps foot in a shrine, a midsummer night before Aang wakes up; the events that follow will change the entire war. (It would take a lot for the Prince of Fire Nation to switch sides, but the Spirits are done waiting. Before Aang AU)

    Aang is already stressed out, struggling with all the stress of needing to fight the Firelord, and he doesn't think it could get any worse. . .

    Until Roku comes to him in a dream one night to inform him he's pregnant.

    This was 100% not part of his plan.

      Bookmark Notes:

      its just beautiful. the way they describe zukos devotion and loyalty to his people is nothing short of heartbreaking. the way they describe how Zuko trusts and loves people broke me. jet and Zukos relationship was perfect. I just love this so much. plus the way they describe fire and burning and 𝘡𝘶𝘬𝘰'𝘴 𝘱𝘦𝘰𝘱𝘭𝘦- ahhhh its incredible. The themes of 𝘥𝘦𝘷𝘰𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 is just phenomenal.

    Summary

    “Welcome to Pao’s family tea shop, I’m Lee what can I get you?”

    “Chaos.”

    “Understandable. Sadly that’s not on the menu, would you settle for a cup of Jasmine tea?”

    “Sure.”

    The one in which Toph goes into Iroh's tea shop while in Ba Sing Se and befriends Zuko on accident.

    Summary

    Zuko would never be considered particularly aware of his own body. It had never been much of an issue, before.
    At least it hadn't until he found himself about to enter a heat with absolutely no supplies in an abandoned air temple surrounded by near strangers-turned-reluctant-allies.
    None of whom were omegas.
    Or even knew that he was one.
    Or even liked him, for that matter.
    This was going to be a nightmare.

    Summary

    What happens when you tell the two people who grew up in high-society households and have only one working eye together to cook?

    Inspired by the time I tried to make coffee at 5 in the morning and accidentally set my mother's strudel on fire.
