Summary
“Come spar with me,” Sokka says, just like that. The sun is setting in the sky and Katara’s food is beginning to stir Momo from his nap, and a few feet away Zuko can see Suki attempting to teach Aang a very basic fighting stance while Toph laughs.
It still doesn’t explain why Sokka is still there, looking at Zuko like Zuko is the insane one for being doubtful. “Why?”
Sokka flails. “Why– because! Because I’m bored! Because I want to! Because– I don’t know, Zuko, why does anyone do anything?”
“You do realize you would lose, right?” He says instead of trying to parse through his reasons.
“Oh, I see how it is, you’re scared you’re gonna lose. That’s okay, I get it, I’d be too if I were you.”
It’s not that Zuko doesn’t know he’s being played, he knows, but the challenge is still out there, in the air, and he has never been good at standing down. Sokka’s got him there and he knows it and Zuko knows it and probably even Katara, wherever she is, knows it too. “Fine,” he snaps, “but don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
Sokka laughs. “Famous last words.”

or, between the Western Air Temple and Caldera City, they spar, learn how to be friends, and, well, fall in love.

Summary
There were a lot of things unexpected about Fire Lord Zuko’s reign; his kind heart, his benevolence, his love of the arts and the theatre especially, but the cats topped that list. The cats gravitated to the Fire Lord and no one knew how to react to that. He was like a magnet to them.
Or- the Royal Palace has a cat infestation and the cats really seems to love the Fire Lord. It's a mutual feeling.

Summary
There's darkness locked in every bud, and shadows bloom freely amidst despair. But sometimes, even creatures born in blackness learn to reach for the light of the sun; just as those conceived in brightness may cocoon themselves in ashes. Souls tangle like desperate weeds; they will grow into a garden or a stranglehold.

Summary
It isn’t unusual for the night shift of the palace staff to see their Fire Lord wandering the halls, a pair of guards trailing behind. It is unusual, however, to see someone wandering the halls with him.
Fire Lord Zuko runs into Ambassador Sokka on his way to the kitchens, and after helping him pilfer an early morning snack, invites Sokka to the turtleduck pond with him.
Or
Our beloved, resident, Awkward Turtle Duck doesn't realize he's falling in love.

Summary
“I just want you to know that I’m here for you,” she reasons, and it’s soft, and it’s gentle, and it’s almost desperate as her next words come out in one rushed plea, “Please know that I’m a friend.”
And Zuko wonders why this doesn’t comfort him at all.

Summary
For as long as Zuko can remember, he's had the flowers in his lungs. He's kept them secret from everyone but his closest family, which hasn't always been easy, but he's had no other choice--the flowers are a sign of weakness. His father was sure he wouldn't survive long, but he's made it to 16, and he's joined Team Avatar. However, old habits die hard--can he still keep the flowers secret from them now that he's living with them?
One day is particularly worse than the others. Zuko has a flare-up.
Important notes: it's complete! it has a HAPPY ending! nobody dies! I was trying to use the concept of "flowers for unrequited love" without getting bogged down in crying about being forever alone. I repeat: HAPPY ENDING

Summary
“‘Do ya ever, like, stop thinking?’
‘What?’ Zuko turned to look at her, his lips pulled into a firm scowl, ‘am I bothering you somehow?’
Toph chortled, ‘yeah a lil’ bit.’
‘Oh so you’re a mind reader now?’
‘No, your face says it all.’
He pulled back, hand raising to touch his face as if he could feel the annoyance on his face doing so.
‘You’re blind, do not play me for a fool.’ Zuko sneered and pulled his hand back from his face to cross his arms in front of his chest, looking more like a moody toddler than anything else.”
Zuko has a nightmare and Toph comforts him.

Summary
Zuko has these...things. They're pretty dumb, because he knows that his mom won't die if he doesn't flip the pillow five times. He knows the gang wont get attacked if he only steps two times before walking into the campfire.
He just...has to. He hates it. It makes him weak.
The gaang think something different though.

Summary
When Zuko was little, he was enamored by the sea. A place unlike any other he’d seen. One where sand and ocean met in harmony, a give and take in an endless, transcendental symphony— two opposites touching with no repulsion.

Summary
Most people said that soulmates were a wonderful thing.
It was a rare gift.
For Zuko, however, soulmate was just a hindrance. A shackle to his purpose, to his own destiny.
After all, was it convenient to be compassionate towards your own soulmate when he was nothing but a mere prize for you?

Summary
Zuko's path goes in a different direction than he'd ever expected, one that leads to redemption sooner than he thought.
He never does regain his honor from his father, but instead receives something else far more valuable.
Loyalty, from his whole nation and beyond, as he fights to protect them, even in exile.
