Summary
(The Chase the Neon Throne series.)
When Zuko was ten, a random palace servant assassinated Fire Lord Azulon. Three years later, Fire Lord Ozai banished him for speaking out of turn, and his mother scorned Ozai by going with him. Three months later, his mother bled to death in a dark alley while Zuko held her hands. Armed with only a pair of swords and a mask, Zuko struggled to survive on his own. By sixteen, he had seen enough of the Earth Kingdom to have doubts about the war, but it was completely out of his hands. He knew he was never going home.
Now the Avatar has returned, along with a sliver of hope for the banished prince. For the first time in three years, Zuko has a choice to make about what he wants out of the war and what kind of person he wants to be. There's one thing that he knows for sure: one way or another, Avatar Aang is Zuko's only chance to have a family and make a difference in the world.

Summary
Just a few years after he is recognized as Balbadd’s third prince, a young Alibaba is kidnapped by sea pirates. Through a series of "rescues" (by both pirates and passing merchants), he somehow lands his way into Sindria, the place he’s always wanted to visit...
Except, he has to go back home now.
But how could anyone ever accept to bring him back, when he is a child with nothing to his name and no proof of his identity? He will just have to work until he has enough money, hiding any trace of his true identity by darkening his hair with black soot and ink… or maybe a lucky encounter with Sindria’s King will help. If only Alibaba knew what the king looked like…At least, there’s this purple-haired fellow who’s friendly enough with him...

Summary
Eugene was raised in a world of fire and blood.
He barely remembers a time before the lights went out, the Blackout, that plunged humanity into a chaotic realm of violence and desperation. It's been ten years since the end of the world, the birth of a graveyard that wasn't kind to those too weak to take care of themselves- and it is there that Eugene finds a kid, abandoned to the wasteland and desperately trying to return home.
Varian's unassuming, easy prey in the hard-knock world Eugene's come to call home, so it's with begrudging acceptance he agrees to help the kid out. Not everything is as simple as he'd believe, however, and Varian hosts a few secrets of his own. In order to survive, they'll have to learn to trust one another- though trust is a rare commodity in a world like theirs.
No one man is an island after all.

“The brain functions with electrical impulses, millions of currents that tell the body what to do and what to say. It’s very delicate, but with enough practice the most skilled firebenders can hone in on those impulses,” he paused, and Zuko felt his hand twitch of its own accord, “and control them.”
"It feels weird," Zuko said, noticing the strange numbness setting over the parts of his body that were moving without his permission.
"You will get used to it soon.”

“Oh, And Then There Were None!” Edrisa guessed, bouncing on her feet.
“Clue,” suggested Dani.

Summary
Zuko had never excelled at anything. Azula was a prodigy. Uncle always knew what to say. And Father... Father was strong, iron-like. But Zuko had only ever been good at surviving. Putting one foot in front of the other in a grim show of stubborn determination, gritting his teeth and bearing it. Survival was all he had ever been taught. He knew how to do it. So when he was kidnapped by the Southern Water Tribe, he expected to fight as he always had. He didn’t expect to be taught instead how to live.
In a warring land, the Water Tribe forgave the enemy in an act of defiance. For this, he was torn from them, and this time, his wounds won't heal so easily.
Forced back into nothing but survival, the last person Zuko expected to see was Hakoda's son. Hakoda was a promise of safety. The relentless blue of Sokka’s eyes was a promise of happiness. Zuko could have both if he just reached out his hands, but he found them clutching into fists. After all, he’d been burned one too many times.
But hey, at least between Hakoda and Sokka, Zuko could appreciate the family resemblance of pure, asinine stubbornness.
