Summary
he’s staring at his hands like he wants them to burn, like he and his hands are the cause of every atrocity to ever take root in this world. he stares at himself the same way in the mirror, she thinks.
but as his eyes flicker to the assassin slain on the ground, she realises his tears are not for his wounds— they are for the man he has just taken a life from. she realises, he has never had this type of blood on his hands before.

zuko learns how to ask for help, one word at a time).Series

Summary
For some unfathomable reason, it was almost impossible to get Zuko alone in the weeks after their first kiss.
So Sokka had invited Zuko to see a movie. And the completely oblivious, perfect, adorably stupid dunderhead had invited everyone else. Sokka really should have made it clearer.
By then, though, he was trapped.

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.

What if Zuko comes to the South Pole and notices the Avatar is not a 112 year old master of the four elements, but a child who immediately gives himself over to protect a village.
Aang, throwing sticks in people's brain gears since 2005.

Summary
“Fire benders do not burn themselves, prince Zuko”, Iroh said coldly. He tightened and tied the bandages around his leg.
Zuko’s knuckles were white from his violent grasp on the mattress underneath him. “I never claimed I was much of one. You agree with father on that one”.
-Zuko's recovery from the Agni Kai against his father isn't linear. His first months at sea as a banished prince are a challenge for both himself and Iroh.

Summary
Years after the war, the four nations had begun living in harmony again. With Zuko ruling the Fire Nation, the Kyoshi Warriors at his side, the world was healing. The Fire Nation found peace within it's own borders again, now that the focus was on her people and not the conquering of others. The people of the Fire Nation were happy.
Well, most of them anyway.
Foolish optimism, Suki thought, that everyone had the same idea of harmony, healing and happiness.Series

Foraging for food should have been simple and straightforward... except for the fact that Zuko has the worst luck.

Summary
“I think his royal highness needs to learn some manners,” the pirate captain sneered. “What say you, lads?”
The pirates roared their approval as they swarmed around where Zuko lay captured at their feet.
“Then gents,” the captain grinned, “let’s cool this fire brat’s temper down.”Or: a hunting trip goes awry when Zuko instead finds himself the target of a familiar pirate crew.

Summary
Zuko has never been so alone.
Injured, malnourished, and hated by those he just saved, he is forced to address his wounds - both physical and emotional - with no one, not even Uncle, around to distract him from the pain or the memories that keep coming in torrents. And long after the village is out of sight, Zuko can still feel their eyes on him. Their eyes... and his mother's.

Summary
'This is the second thing twenty-nine months postbellum has taught Zuko – nothing is ever over. Nothing, no one, is ever finished, complete, total, sown up or true blue. The Fire Nation will pay penance, forever. He will be unready, forever. They will both be boats on a current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
He spent much of his childhood on a boat, but. He is uncertain if he knows how to sail.'
(Twenty-nine months after his coronation, Zuko lays down in bed, and stays there.)
