Summary
It's not that he forgot to tell them; Zuko simply thought everyone knew about how he got his scar. It's not something he likes to talk about, but he would have done it for them. He should have, given how they're reacting now.
The Gaang finds out about Zuko's scar, but not from the man himself.

Summary
Aang had been navigating the world using a map that was over a hundred years old, a map that didn't even have the Fire Nation colonies marked on them, due to the Air Nomad's refusal to recognize the Fire Nation's governance over them.
Zuko discovers this and nearly combusts.

Team Avatar has a few things to say about that.

Summary
a series of events in which zuko learns to open up about his scar, all thanks to aang and his kind, albeit childish, ways.
“Hey, Aang,” Zuko started, setting the ledger down. “When’s the last time you’ve practiced your firebending?”
By the glint in Aang’s eyes, he knew exactly what Zuko meant.

Summary
Zuko's soul marks have been regularly burned away since before he knew what they meant. He knows that he cannot be loyal to his father and his nation while also being loyal to a soul family, so he doesn't look for them. Unfortunately, that means that he doesn't know when he's found them.

Summary
“Yeah, hi,” she says, and it’s—that’s her. There’s no way that isn’t her. “I’m—I’m looking for Evan Buckley?”
Downstairs, he hears Hen begin to reply, something like “Can I ask why?” but his mind is going in circles; It can’t be her, please let it be her as he scrambles to drop the knife and tears himself away from the kitchen island, barely managing to stop himself from tripping over his own feet as he sprints. Bobby makes some kind of surprised noise behind him, a few guys turn to stare at him from the couches, but he makes it to the railing, grabbing onto the bars with his hands shaking. He looks down, past the trucks, to the wide space by the entrance, and-
“Maddie?”
Or: Maddie shows up at the firehouse instead of Buck's flat, looking for her little brother. He's just glad she came back.

Summary
"Scars are generally seen as a weakness. Especially for nobles. It’s unsightly.”
There’s a moment of dead silence in which almost all eyes turn to stare at the left side of his face. Zuko keeps his mouth firmly closed.
It’s Toph who breaks the tension. “Yeah, not to call your nation out or anything, Sparky, but you literally just said that you have a massive, blinding, and deafening scar on the side of your face. As the crown prince, that seems a little hypocritical of them.” Toph snarks.
AKA: An innocent comment about scars leads to Zuko spilling his Tragic Backstory, and the chaos that follows that particular revelation.

Summary
“Maybe when this is all over,” said Aang, “Sokka and Katara’s dad can be your new dad, too."
Toph said, “I don’t think that’s how dads work, Twinkletoes.”
But despite himself, Zuko was smiling back at Aang. “Sure,” he said. “That might be nice.”
----
The Gaang finds out about Zuko's scar. It's not exactly shocking - at this point, they've made some assumptions already - but any dad who would hurt their child doesn't deserve to be a dad. Sokka decides to remedy this for Zuko.

The Sun will Rise Again (With the Two of us as Friends) by Spidergirl1809
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender

Summary
For a hundred years, war and devastation consumed the world. Aang was one of only people left to remember that it ever used to be different. To remember that there was a time when sixteen year old boys weren’t dressed in armor and sent to commit acts of violence, and twelve year old kids weren’t meant to stop them. To remember having friends in the Fire Nation. To remembers walking through Caldera City with Kuzon, choking on Fire Flakes, and watching street performers.
So now that Zuko was here asking for redemption...well, being friends sounded better than being enemies.
Maybe their friendship was destined to be. Maybe together they could bring back some of what was lost.
(AKA, After Zuko joins the Gaang, Aang gets to know him and they become friends).

Summary
Set after the Boiling Rock, Sokka just wants to help Zuko however he can. This leads to a small argument with Katara, where Zuko tries to protect Sokka and Katara from Hakoda (Hakoda wasn't going to hurt them, but how would Zuko know that having had Ozai as his father). Sokka listens to Zuko explain his childhood, having made several guesses about how bad it was after seeing how Zuko reacted to Hakoda. Hurt/Comfort.

Summary
When Zuko is six years old, he drowns in a lake.
He comes back to life, but not quite the same as he was before.
Or: Zuko is Kuzon’s reincarnation. Remembering the world before the Hundred Year War, he realizes that something has went very wrong with the Fire Nation much earlier than in canon.
Some things remain the same. Some don't.
