Summary
“I can’t bear to look at you.”
Zuko kept his gaze on the floor. His back was dripping blood. His arm was twisted in the wrong direction. He could feel something in his chest crack every time he breathed.
He couldn’t even feel it. It was nothing compared to this. To these words.
“Where did I go wrong with you? Why did you have to be born so weak? So stupid?”
Or,
Zuko has never been treated well. But he always thought that maybe his mother might remember she’s supposed to love him.
She doesn’t.
(formally titled mother, eat me again (this time i’ll make you proud))

Summary
Zuko thinks the Avatar's collection of misfits is behaving weirdly. They're constantly acting like they know something he doesn't, like they know him when they definitely shouldn't, and they're constantly trying to get him to join them! Which he would never do!
(For some reason, Sokka, Katara, and Aang have memories of growing old, and all the steps it took to get there, but have no idea what triggered it other than breaking Aang out of the iceberg. Naturally, they want things to be better, but teenage Zuko, still in his angry yelling phase? Adorable. They can work with this.)

Summary
“Sokka,” Fire Lord Zuko speaks up. “Are you done talking to them? Because if so-”
“Let's say I'm done, but we'll still have to talk,” says Older Sokka. “We have a problem. More precisely, five problems. These are not members of the New Ozai Society, trying to kill you by disguising themselves as us. It's us. From the past.”
“Hey!” objects loudly younger Sokka. “What are you doing, future me?”
Or: on their way to the North Pole, Aang, Katara and Sokka are ambushed by Zuko and his uncle. Somehow, this leads to them visiting the future.

Summary
“So who is Zuko, really?” Toph asks. “I thought he was just a regular Firebender who didn't like you very much. I didn't know his sister was favored by the Fire Lord.”
“His sister is definitely favored by the Fire Lord,” Sokka says irritably. “She was his guard during the Eclipse. And she's incredibly loyal, just like Zuko is. That is, was.”
“No wonder, with that name,” Katara mutters. “What else would you expect from siblings named after the Fire Prince and Princess?”
In which everything stays the same, apart from the fact that the Gaang doesn’t realize their local firebender is actually Prince Zuko until coronation day.

Summary
Sokka couldn't abandon his father when the invasion failed. It was his plan after all, his failure. If the ship was sinking Sokka would go down with it. He needed to prove himself. Katara is a wreck. She can't lose Sokka too, she just can't. With the invasion failing and the unwanted addition of a certain prince, Katara feels hopeless. Zuko desperately wants to prove he can be trusted. He knows trust is something you earn and he'll do whatever it takes. Understanding Sokka's choice to stay behind, Zuko knows just how to earn that trust.
What if Sokka was captured alongside Hakoda and the others on the day of black sun?

Summary
Zuko doesn't wake up after the Lightning strikes his chest. It's too quick, and he can't siphon its blow. He falls, slowly dying. Slow enough to see his sister fighting Katara. Slow enough to see their battle unfold. When he finally succumbs the last thing he sees is Katara rushing over a second too late, trying futilely to save his life.
The only thing he hears are Azula's screams and cries, as she sits chained to the grate in a sobbing mess. When Zuko finally succumbs to his wounds he hears her cry.
When he wakes he hears a laugh, and it's the laugh of a child.

Summary
What? Zuko’s mind swam. He was banished? The avatar…but the avatar was gone? He hadn’t been seen in one hundred years.
“Your uncle tried to accompany you, but the Fire Lord has decreed that he is too useful to the nation as a General and has reinstated his position. He has not been allowed to see you.” The voice sounded hurried and urgent. “They are not allowing me to come on the journey and tend to your injury either.”
Zuko was injured. His father had burned his face. He was banished, he was injured, and he was close to death. But Zuko was sure of at least one thing: He would survive. He had to. He was going to capture the Avatar and regain his honour. This was his last thought before he slipped into unconsciousness. A promise to himself and his nation.
When Zuko loses the Agni Kai he is branded as a traitor to his nation and banished. The Fire Lord decrees general Iroh too valuable to be allowed to accompany his disgraced nephew. He is abandoned instead - left to fend for himself in a fire nation colony.Series

Summary
For a moment he focused on what seemed to be the truth. Zuko was once again seven years old. He was no longer thirty nor was he Fire Lord, so he had to do away with that mindset. Zuko was seven and had just excelled at his first ever Firebending lessons. Azula was five and still unsure of her role in the universe, his Mother was still with him, Ozai was plotting to take the throne, and Aang was twelve and frozen in a block of ice.
Zuko has been Fire Lord for over twenty years when he falls into the past. Quickly realizing he is a combatant in the battle for Azula's soul, he also comes to understand that ---as her older brother--- he has the chance to be the only player in the game.

Summary
An AU where the four nations speak different languages:
The plan had been simple...
Step 1. Break the Avatar out of the Pohuai Stronghold.
Step 2. Drag the Avatar back to his ship.
Step 3. Sail home.
Step 4. Present the Avatar to his father and have his honor restored.Nowhere in the plan had Zuko accounted for becoming injured and the Avatar dragging him back to their camp. It certainly hadn't accounted for them taking him prisoner. Nor had it accounted for the added complication of Avatar's companions not having the decency to learn the Common Dialect. Only the Avatar understands him and communication in the group is a tangled mess.
Because when you don't speak the same language, how can you find a Common Ground?
