agni has (not) abandoned him [rewrite] by iliwaren

Summary
He survived two-and-a-half years as General Fong’s training dummy, months as Zhao’s prisoner, and weeks as a captive aboard the Chief of the Southern Water Tribe’s ship, all the while refusing to let his father’s cold, firelit eyes be the last he saw of the man. There was no way these children would keep him from going home.
"Yes," Zuko lied. 'I’ll help you defeat my father."
Or: After three years of imprisonment, Zuko escapes, just in time to arrive at the climax of the Invasion of Ba Sing Se. From there, he travels with the Avatar's team - first as a political prisoner and then, maybe (and indignantly), as Aang's firebending teacher.
(Zuko wonders why Agni let him suffer in the cold for so many years only to make him the Avatar's mentor. Destiny is a cruel, complicated thing. It takes him a while to figure out his.)

Summary
Toph does not need anyone, certainly not the whiny Avatar or his bossy friend. Thank you very much, she's totally fine on her own. Zuko is sick of the Earth Kingdom and he just wants to go home. He really shouldn't stop when he witnesses some thugs threatening another stray kid, but he does. The chance encounter changes everything.
S2 AU - where Toph and Zuko run into each other mid-Chase and end up going on a field trip together. (I upped the rating to T for some mild cussing - just to be on the safe side).

Summary
Combustion Man never finds the Western Air Temple, and the Gaang goes ahead with the plan to capture Zuko and hold him prisoner so he can’t hurt anyone. Now Zuko has to convince them he’s on their side without having any proof he doesn’t want the Avatar dead anymore, and preferably before Katara decides to kill him.
… If only he weren’t so bad at being good.

Summary
Hidden in the deepest darkest corner of the Palace, the imprisoned Prince Zuko serves out his punishment and waits - and waits to be pardoned and released by his father.
Not knowing that Fire Lord Ozai has already declared to the world that his son has died.
Until a strange group of kids invade the Royal Palace, and accidentally rescue the formerly dead Prince Zuko...
— their invasion had gone to shreds since the Fire Lord had disappeared, and now there was an unconscious maybe-probably-enemy lying by his feet.
"Oh great, NOW what??” Sokka flailed both of his hands towards the boy. "When I said we could loot some stuff from the Royal Palace, I didn’t mean THIS!!"
As usual, Katara ignored his extremely valid point.
"We need to hurry," she said, as if Sokka didn’t already know that, it was his plan, "- can you carry him, Sokka? We have to take him with us."
