Summary
Perhaps if Aang tried hard enough, he could think of it as a new source of energy for the world, a new beacon of hope and as a sacrifice that would remind even the Fire Nation that love was selfless and unafraid.
Yue was lost now.
But, Aang supposed, they had gained Zuko.
Or, the story of how Sokka learns that perhaps love and hate are two sides of the same coin-----
(Book 2 has now been started! Check out chapter one of "My Love is Mine, All Mine"!)

agni has (not) abandoned him [rewrite] by iliwaren
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender (Cartoon 2005)
10 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
He survived two-and-a-half years as General Fong’s training dummy, months as Zhao’s prisoner, and weeks as a captive aboard the Chief of the Southern Water Tribe’s ship, all the while refusing to let his father’s cold, firelit eyes be the last he saw of the man. There was no way these children would keep him from going home.
"Yes," Zuko lied. 'I’ll help you defeat my father."
Or: After three years of imprisonment, Zuko escapes, just in time to arrive at the climax of the Invasion of Ba Sing Se. From there, he travels with the Avatar's team - first as a political prisoner and then, maybe (and indignantly), as Aang's firebending teacher.
(Zuko wonders why Agni let him suffer in the cold for so many years only to make him the Avatar's mentor. Destiny is a cruel, complicated thing. It takes him a while to figure out his.)

Summary
(“You’re not sleeping,” Mai says softly.
“How’d you know?” Zuko asks.To be honest, he’s kind of gotten to the point where he’s surprised that anyone can perceive him outside of his necessary functions- he exists solely to sit in council meetings and shoulder the blame for genocides and famines and the suffering of one-hundred years. Doesn’t he?)
The war is over, but the fallout is just beginning. And where lightning strikes, thunder is bound to follow.

I Don't Think Badly of You (Well, Sometimes I Do) by team_avatars_eyebags
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender (Cartoon 2005)
15 Nov 2025
Tags
Summary
“I heard of him!” An old man shouted from the crowd, “His own father burned and disowned him! He’s that banished prince!”
A woman’s voice whispered, “He said he’s with the Avatar? I don’t believe an ashmaker would ever…”
“Mama, is he here to hurt us?” a child asked their mother.
Blood rushed in Zuko’s good ear. His scar prickled.
This, he thought as he all but fled the scene, This is the price of being Zuko.
This is what I get for being me.

Or, the one where Zuko has a truly awful time. Oh- I'm sorry, the one where Lee has a bad time. Lee. Right.

Summary
Assumed dead after his banishment, Zuko takes up The Blue Spirit mask. No one has seen his face in three years, and he won't let them. It's safer this way, being alone. After a Fire Nation general hires him to bring in Hakoda for questioning, he fails the job miserably and ends up a captive of the Water Tribe. When Sokka is employed by Iroh to track down Zuko and find out if he is still alive, The Blue Spirit claims that Zuko is in fact dead, and in a fit of panic, that he was the one who killed him.

Zuko deserves all the hugs!!!
1: Caught in a storm on Ember Island, the Gaang returns to Zuko's old family home, cold and wet. There, they make a welcome discovery about their fire bender companion.
2: “What’s wrong, nephew?”
Zuko bit his lip as the longing in his chest came rushing back. “I, uh, I can’t sleep. Will you…um, could you make some tea? Please?”---
Plagued by nightmares, Zuko seeks comfort in the form of his uncle's tea. He learns he's not the only one who is haunted by the ghosts of the past.
3: Toph knew she’d get a field trip eventually. She just had to bide her time and choose the right moment.
That moment came when—and how—she least expected it.

Summary
There was a hand on his back, softly rubbing a soothing pattern against his shoulders. Zuko flinched away from the touch as much as he could while his stomach rebelled. It wasn't enough and the hand stayed where it was.
It took a few minutes before he was able to stop dry heaving. When it was clear that nothing else was going to come up, Zuko rolled himself fully back onto the sleeping bag. His head hurt, it hurt a lot. Usually, his head felt fine after sleeping but today his brain felt expanded in his skull, pushing up against the inside and mashing all the squishy bits together.
He wanted to get up, wanted to get away from whoever was tucking him back into the warmth of his sleeping bag. He whined low in his throat as the hands nudged his arms into the bag, the sound leaving his throat with a rasp. His eyes weren't focusing on anything, which wasn't out of the norm for his left side, but his right eye was fine. He should be fine. He was fine.
(He wasn't fine.)
“Are you okay?” A deep voice asked.
(Zuko becomes a middle child, everyone is horrified by the new information that comes to light, and Hakoda wonders who he has to kill to make this scarred boy happy.

I am Unfinished, I've Got so Much Left to Learn by towardthesun
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender

Summary
It was inevitable that Ozai's fate would be brought up during their peace talks, but Zuko couldn't have imagined what the conversation would come to. He had hoped that Aang's choice to spare his father would have been enough, but it wasn't. In the face of opposition from all sides, and a lack of trust from his own nation, he only has one tactic he can use.
Telling the truth.
Many a fic has done it, but I'm going to do it as well, combined with some of my favorite headcanons, hopefully a bit of originality, and no understanding of how to properly title something.

Summary
"I should have been dead. But I have this crooked sort of luck”. His fingers trail the newly formed scars on the skin Katara closed up. He opens his mouth and continues, unprompted, “I hope you kill him”, head tilting towards Aang’s direction, eyes lowered.
“The Firelord?”.
He hums.
-Or, an ex-mercenary Zuko fakes his death and tries to survive the war as a traitor. The Gaang doesn't make it easy for him.

Summary
"His mom had given him a diary.
No, not a diary–– a journal, she had specified. He knows it’s a diary. Zuko thinks she only called it a journal because she thought that Zuko wouldn’t use it if she said otherwise. A diary is for feelings and angst, but a journal was for working through your problems without all that mushy, gushy stuff. It was for writing out simply what was in your head, nothing more, nothing less."
or, zuko through the years, struggling with himself and his sexuality.

Summary
For historical accuracy, the coup d’état was Suki and Hakoda’s idea, not Zuko’s.
Or: in which Zuko doesn’t escape the palace after the eclipse. After a few days, Ozai decides to send him to the Boiling Rock.
It doesn’t take Suki and Hakoda long to reach a conclusion: why limit themselves to escaping the Boiling Rock when they could stage a coup in the Fire Nation as well?

One Who is Blinded by the Light of the Sun, Will be Lost to Wander in the Dark by Mleman1946
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender, Avatar: Legend of Korra
02 Nov 2024

Summary
Life is a series of contradictions.
Of opposites.
Light and Dark.
Push and Pull.
Order and Chaos.
Who are you to take the balance, cast it aside, break it, shatter it, and banish it?
Who are you to play god?
Who are you to doom us?
Zuko fought against the Gaang when they tried to save Zuko from the blizzard in the North Pole. Finding himself lost in the tundra, Zuko fights with every breath before stumbling into a valley, hosting a massive, gnarled tree of dead roots in the center.
One month after the failed siege, from the frozen wastelands of the northern tundra, a new Avatar walks free. One who is of the dark rather than the light, of the push rather than the pull.
An Avatar of Chaos to combat that of Order.
Who are you, to take our balance and desecrate it?
A fool, one who has given the keys to their own downfall.
After all,
One Who is Blinded by the Light of the Sun, Will be Lost to Wander in the Dark.- Language:
