Summary
Zuko has been cursed. Maybe since birth, given how unlucky he was, but now well and truly, he was cursed: to become a turtleduck during full moons. But it can't stand in the way of his mission to regain his honour. He must find the Avatar, and perhaps being a turtleduck can give him the advantage he needs to capture him. He'll travel the seas, and to the ends of the world if he has to.
Meanwhile, Sokka and Katara have found the Avatar without trying. Now they're being chased by a guy with a bad haircut and horrible scar, as well as a curious duck. For some reason it really doesn't like Aang.

Summary
Zuko has been of marrying age for years now, but a part of him had been hoping that under his uncle’s progressive leadership, he would be spared the tradition of an arranged marriage. Judging by the increasingly concerned look on Iroh’s face, evidently Zuko is not so lucky.

Summary
In direct continuation of The Ties That Bind (stitched together with events from the past), Azula and Zuko's journeys are woven together.
Having been tasked with finding the Avatar and returning him to the Fire Nation once and for all, Azula will complete her mission by any means necessary. Even if it means dealing with her traitorous Uncle.
Having been separated from his Water Tribe family, Zuko will do his best to survive until he can make his way home. Even when his loyalties are tested to their limits, and his place in the world is unclear.
Will bonds be forged, strengthened, or fall apart when held together with Frayed Lines?Series

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
Zuko turns into a baby dragon by accident. Chaos ensues.
Sokka slowly stood, wary of the creature on his back. The Zuko on his back. He realized with a start that the little thing was trembling as it gripped onto him, heart beating erratically. When his friends started walking up to him, he could hear a hissing sound coming from right under his ear. Even if it wasn’t directed at him, it was still terrifying.
“Wow,” Aang exclaimed, continuing to step forward even at lizard-Zuko’s obvious protest. “He’s a baby dragon!”
Now that left Sokka in shock. “Dragon?”
“Yep! Dragon.” Aang slowly extended a finger towards dragon-Zuko, an enthralled grin on his face. Zuko was clearly offended (or terrified), and Sokka felt him shift around so only his head poked out of Sokka’s collar.
“Yeah, I don’t think he likes that,” Sokka said, lowering Aang’s hand.

Summary
The sea was calm, and there was no wind. No sound. Nothing, save for the steady hum of them ship’s engine. The banished prince stood at the rail, facing the water that parted for the ship as it moved, closer and closer to the Fire Nation. To his home. Relief, mixed with trepidation, battled in his mind. Had he really accomplished the impossible? Attaining what he had hunted for the last two years so tirelessly, now he could finally return.
No longer would the prince be known as the banished prince, or the shamed prince, or the traitor prince. Now he would be the legendary prince, the Firelord’s son. The prince who captured the Avatar.

Summary
**CAN BE READ AS STANDALONE..anything before is just silly little lore**
Zuko and Sokka got close...maybe in a way that was too close to Zuko. Whatever it was, Zuko is left to deal with the consequences of their noncommittal, idiotic choices after he starts getting sick.
Their whole lives, there has never been the sense of stability and permenance, and Zuko has never experienced raw, genuine love after Mai, arguably ever. So, with their relationship undefined and complicated, Zuko chooses to navigate this particular consequence on his own, but it's a lot harder and lonlier than he would have ever imagined.
Until it's not.

Or Sokka and Zuko are emotional messes that cannot communicate and somehow manage to procreate.Series

Summary
After the battle at the Northern Water Tribe, Sokka is captured by Zhao.
It's not incredibly ideal, however, he reckoned he could escape if given the right motivation. Most of which is provided by his cellmate, Prince Zuko, the boy they've been fearing for months. The Fire Prince who has spent the last few months of Sokka's life miserable, trying to keep him, his sister and the all-powerful twelve year old boy alive. It's his rotten luck to be locked up with Zuko, he's only going to foil his plans wherever they go.
At least, that's what Sokka thought.
The thing about war is, the smoke rises so high, so thick, things aren't as clear as they once were. Sokka believed all Fire Nation was evil, that it was only capable to destroy. All he saw when he looked at the Fire Nation was the fire in their eyes. But what could possibly happen when he starts to feel the fire in the heart of one, golden-eyed boy, who is more than he appears?
Sokka's got a lot of learning to do, as does Zuko. Slowly, they're finding that as long as they're together, they might be able to take on anything.

Summary
“These are feelings you might want, Katara,” he said, voice low, warm, dangerous in its honesty. “Please… don’t give up on them just yet.”
“And as for what’s wrong…” he paused, his gaze drifting for a moment before locking with mine again. “I needed you too,” he said quietly. “And I wasn’t enough for you.”
“Do you know how long I’ve waited to hear that?” he asked, voice barely a whisper. “How many nights I stayed awake thinking about that time we had… before you left?”
“Then why didn’t you come back?” he asked. “Why didn’t you come back to me, Katara?”

Summary
Zuko hadn’t been the best brother, but who could blame him? Running a country at eighteen was no easy task. He couldn’t be there for Azula the way he wanted to, but he did what he thought was best: admitting her to the finest mental hospital in the Fire Nation so she could finally get the help she needed.
So why did it seem like the more time she spent there, the worse she became?
As their search for their mother unfolds, Zuko begins to see just how deeply Azula’s illness runs and just how much worse he’s made it. And as the truth comes to light, everything he thought he knew about his family, and their past, starts to come undone.

All The Words You Don't Say by burglar_bird

Summary
Zuko rarely made noise. Even his voice echoed his loyalty to the quiet; brittle, raspy, reluctant to leave his mouth, even when he forced it through his teeth. People shied from him, off-put by his hoarse words and empty stare. His silence spoke for him. It said all the words he couldn’t voice until there was no need to open his mouth at all.
But when he meets the children in the desert, that begins to change.

Summary
“How can we trust you to teach Aang anything when you clearly can't control your flames?!”
Irritation flashes across Zuko’s face. He wants to say something, but Katara doesn't give him the chance.
“You burned Toph right after you announced that you were on our side! You burned down Kyoshi Island! Not to mention what you did to yourself–!”
Zuko raises his hand.
“Wait,” he says, frowning. “You think that my scar was caused by… some kind of training accident and that I did it to myself?”
Or: Katara has doubts about Aang's new firebending teacher. After all, Zuko’s fire has already hurt too many — including himself.
