Summary
In the scorching expanse of the merciless Si Wong Desert, two enemies find their fates unexpectedly intertwined. Prince Zuko, having finally abandoned his futile hunt for the Avatar and severed ties with his uncle, wanders the wasteland with nothing but regrets and his stolen ostrich horse. When he discovers Katara collapsed and dying in the sand, he makes a choice that defies everything he's been: he saves her.
Now bound by a lie, the exiled prince and the waterbender must travel together to Ba Sing Se, navigating a fragile alliance built on shared loss, desperate necessity, and the slim hope that doing one right thing might matter in a world defined by war.
Updates every Sunday.

Summary
Zuko has died once before, that much, he’s sure.
But death was much less the end of his life—it was the end of hers.
And so, Zuko did what any other desperate, broken-hearted, lovesick fool would:
He went after her.
Will is a fickle thing;
Strong enough, it will win wars.
Blind enough, it will destroy the world.
Pure enough, however, it will wield the stars.[Written to First Last Time by Deeps.]

Summary
Captured by Azula, dying once by lightning, branded a traitor, living through hell, and sentenced to death, Zuko could not catch a break.
As his execution drew closer and he came to realize there was nowhere left for him to go back to after betraying his uncle, Fate decided he hadn't had enough and threw the last person he wanted to see in his last days at him...
Meanwhile, Sokka was struggling through his own grief after the North Pole when his patience with Aang ran out. He decided to take his own path, only for the universe to disagree with him almost immediatly, and he was dragged further than he ever wished to...
Like a flourishing seed, an encounter in the depths of a mountain sets in motion a new story, new events, and new adventures to explore...
This is the story of the banished Prince who became a traitor...
Way earlier than he was supposed to...
---------
An AU story where the banished prince joins the team earlier. It will mostly follow the canon plot, but with several changes, especially at the start. It's also more mature. Be warned that it contains violence, trauma, grief, and other heavy topics.Status: Daily Updated (for now)

Summary
A earth bending blow leaves Zuko with a shattered hand. A strike from Azula leaves his Uncle near death. Hunted by the Fire Nation and out of options, Zuko does the one thing his honor swore he’d never do, he surrenders to the Avatar. Feigning allegiance, Zuko utilizes his new connections as part of the long game to restore Iroh to the throne and to return himself to the comforts of royal life. It’s a flawless plan, right? Right?
A canon divergent slow burn. Diverges from Book 2: "The Chase"
