Summary
When Azula met her brother in Ba Sing Se & told him he could come home, he believed her, even though she had made this exact offer before. This time there was no loose-lipped Captain to give the game away, & he was brought back to the Fire Nation not as a hero, but in chains.
When he is dragged from his cell months later, he expects to be facing his execution, not his coronation.

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.

There Is No Fire Lord by OccasionalStorytelling for MuffinLance
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender
07 Sep 2020
Tags
Summary
This is an AU for MuffinLance's "zuko botches his escape attempt and spends the rest of the war in prison then has to be Fire Lord having never gotten his redemption arc" Towards the Sun. This is more of a "zuko botches his escape attempt and spends the rest of the war in prison, and then when he becomes Fire Lord they leave him in prison" kind of thing.
After committing treason, Zuko spends months in prison, and even after both his father and Azula go missing, the guards can't coax him out of his cell. And then the Avatar shows up. How's the Gaang supposed to talk to a Fire Lord who doesn't even believe he's the Fire Lord?

Summary
The boy flew up the stairs, a flurry of black clothes against gray steel. His footfalls still fell like feathers on wood, he was glad he knew how to make his steps quiet. Otherwise his life would’ve been over right there, right then. The boy slid the door open, peeking no more than his eyes above, he looked around and quickly took note of the few unconscious men scattered around.
The boy scrambled into the tower, looking around in awe. He counted 3 unconscious men, one of said men possibly dead. Several bruises littered across each of them, one had a slice to his arm, another had his ankle at a weird angle, and the third had his arm twisted in such a way that it had begun to lose air. He tensed, screams could no longer be heard outside. In only moments the worst happened.

Summary
Azula's eyes are clear and curious and pure. This child doesn’t have to turn into broken, unhinged teenager ready to strike down her own brother with lightning. She doesn’t have to grow up thinking herself unlovable.
"Let’s have each other's backs," she says, looking right into Azula's innocent eyes. "Always."
_______________
Or, a random woman dies and is reborn as Prince Zuko of the Fire Nation. She’s not happy about it, but no one’s asking for her opinion. So here she is, trying to figure out how to use her vague memories of the show to survive until Aang’s return, while also attempting to (manipulate) guide her affection-starved little sister toward a redemption arc. Gotta take that silver sandwich bite!

Something Entirely New by Vespera_The_Evening_Star
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender (Cartoon 2005)
13 Aug 2025
Tags
Summary
“I…. I’m sorry uncle. Just please-” His voice cracked on that word, oozing with emotion, “-leave me alone. I don’t want to be mad..”
The ‘at you’ part of the sentence hung in the air wordlessly and he closed his eyes letting his head hang. For a moment the air was still before it filled with the soft patters of Uncle leaving before it merged with the waves beating against the ship.
“He knows something troubles you.” Kyoshi said. He could feel her gaze boring into his flesh. He let himself slide down the door feeling drained.
OR
Zuko was born the avatar unbeknownst to the world and himself. But he knows there is something strange about him. Especially when some tall Green lady, in face paint follows him (How come no one seems to see her?)
Oh and probably when his mother freaked out about him bending water.
But everything fine.
Its perfectly fine.
He's just... something entirely new. :)

Summary
This is a continuation of my AU where Zuko is captured at the North Pole during the Siege of the North and sent to the Spirit World. He ended up in the Andor(TV) universe and in the Imperial Narkina V Prison facility. You do not need to read that one to understand this one, but it will probably help set the background for this story. And I apparently can't stop making references to it.
Head's up, Zuko might be a little Out Of Character for Book 2, but that is because he is already redeemed.
Also, Zuko's bad luck is pretty much the only constant in his life, and it will return with a vengeance at some point.
Also, I am Canadian, therefore you may notice some spelling differences from American English. Most common are honour and colour, but there may be more. If you spot it, that is all it is.

We’re From the Future, Not in Love by Dioranelle

Summary
She watches them suspiciously. Sokka and Zuko walk side by side—and then suddenly Sokka smiles slightly, leans toward Zuko and says something to him in a hushed tone—and then Zuko smiles back at him.
Their strange encounter in the clearing, how Sokka was willing to defend Zuko, the fact that they hugged...
Sweet Tui and La, Katara suddenly realizes. He’s not just infiltrating the group — he’s flirting. With Sokka.
Or: In which the years-long friendship between Ambassador Sokka and Fire Lord Zuko looks a lot like romance to 14-year-old Katara.
Alternatively: Five times Katara misunderstood Sokka and Zuko’s relationship, and one time the boys tried to clear things up.

For years, Zuko has wondered what could have been. What could have been had he not spoken up? Now though, he wonders what could come. Because either he lives, or the world dies. And what comes after?

He can only try, and do, and hope that it's enough.

Summary
“ Ursa was on her fourth cup of tea, but she refused to leave until she made up her mind about that boy. Maybe it was a mother’s intuition, but she couldn’t convince herself that this tea server wasn’t her Zuko.”
Ba Sing Se is the city of refuge.

Summary
After his banishment, Zuko's life expanded more than he ever thought it would. He found the truth: the truths about the war, the truths about people, and the truths about himself. Zuko was not raised to be a coward. He faced it head on, even if the truth changed every aspect about the way he thought.

Summary
"My brother was in the 41st Division."
---
What if Chit Sang knew what Zuko did, knew what the Prince had stood up for, and thanked him? And what if that lead to more secrets coming to light, unable to stay covered when the sun choose to shine down upon it?
Aka, my take on how the Chit Sang would reveal what Zuko stood for to the Gaang + Hakoda, and how it would be seen. I did this all while listening to "Things We Lost In The Fire" by Bastille on repeat. (I had to, at some point, make an obligatory Gaang finds out about the scar with added spice!)

Summary
"A perplexed look joined the hurt, anger, and confusion on his face. “What does that have to do with anything?” He demanded. His words still hurt, but it was obvious that the bite in them was a mask for how he was really feeling.
“I - I tried to heal you, but ... it - you weren’t injured - you didn’t bump your head. It wasn’t physical damage, it was...” Katara paused, incredibly uncomfortable. “... It was your memories. All your worst memories.” She paused again. “And I ... I saw them.”
Zuko could feel flames itching to escape from his palms. His fire was always strongest when he was emotional, and the news that Katara, his former enemy, and someone who he was desperately trying to earn the trust of, had witnessed all of his weakest, most damaging, traumatic moments - had seen him at his most vulnerable, most shameful, was an emotional slap in the face. He was thankful that his wrists were tied.
Instead of fire, he channeled his anger into a loud, biting, “WHAT?!” He tasted smoke in his mouth. A little fire did escape after all."
Katara thinks Zuko has a head injury and tries to heal him. In doing so, she has access to all of Zuko’s memories, and they aren’t happy.
