Summary
Hunter has very few memories of his childhood, but the few he does have he guards with enough fervor to rival that of the Bat Queen’s protectiveness over her palismen.
He remembers his uncle’s fond touches and gentle smiles as he played at the foot of his throne, still too young to walk without stumbling every few steps. He remembers the burning gold of talons being shucked aside as he tucked him into bed, telling him tales of the human realm where the oceans do not boil, where monsters do not lie underfoot to gobble up young witches, where magic was merely a slight of hand and a farce of tricks and gentle foolishness.
He too remembers with less fondness the sight of pale flesh turning an oozing green and muddy sludge as it cracked artfully crafted marble floors. Remembers the searing hot pain of it slicing through his cheek, his ear, his arms and legs. The barking orders to do better, to not disappoint, to follow the will of the Titan.
But, he knows that Belos loves him.
---
Basically, a what if belos did love hunter oneshot and how complicated it would make their relationship -

bato acquires a son (and other things he Did Not ask for) by Jour
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender
03 May 2021
Tags
Summary
Bato, confirmed bachelor, heartthrob of the Southern Water Tribe (self-proclaimed), and prankster extraordinaire, lives an easygoing life of freedom.
He is perfectly happy with this setup. He does not want responsibilities. He does not want children. In fact, under no circumstance does he ever, ever want to be a father.
Sadly for him his best friend is Hakoda, who is determined to make his life as difficult as possible.
Asshole.
Bato’s journey through fatherhood as Zuko’s dad, one painstaking step at a time. Including (but not limited to) taking baths, fending off boys, and dealing with the misfortune of being friends with Hakoda.

Summary
There's an owl. It's not a cat-owl or a badger-owl or even an owl-deer. It's an owl, it's huge, and it's not pleased to see them.
"Humans. What are you doing in my library?"
Zhao bows deeply to it. "Honoured spirit, I am a humble seeker of knowledge. I had heard of the wonders of your library and wished to see it for myself."
What follows is the most nauseating combination of flattery and lies Zuko has heard for a long time. Not that Zuko has the right to accuse an honourable Fire Nation citizen of lying. And he should want the spirit to believe Zhao. Right?
Right. Anyway. Something something knowledge for the sake of knowledge. Honoring the spirits that keep our sailors safe and bear us where we need to go.
"And your companion?" the owl asks. Wan Shi Tong, whose name literally means the guy who knows everything. And he can't hear what utter moosebullshit Zhao is spouting? Really?
"Him?" Zhao says. He pats Zuko's shoulder, and Zuko grits his teeth. "He's my assistant. A bit simple, but he can follow orders. I'll ensure he doesn't trouble you."
Or,
Zuko goes to the library. He ends up staying for three years.

Summary
For ten years Zuko couldn't manage to summon a single flame. It wasn't until he accidentally bent air that he realised why; airbenders can't bend fire. And Zuko was an airbender.
or
zuko uses his airbending to pretend to firebend and his new personal connection to the airbender genocide kicks zuko off on a big fat field trip of self discovery where he realises that fire isn't the only element he can fake bend, competes in earthbending tournaments with toph, joins the freedom fighters, becomes a kyoshi warrior and joins the gaang

Summary
AU where Zuko realises early into his banishment that Ozai is an abusive bastard who sent him on a wild goose chase. Iroh turns their decommissioned warship into a floating tea shop, and Zuko settles down as a tea server onboard the Jasmine Dragon.
And then, years later, the Avatar emerges from the iceberg.
And then Aang decides that he wants Zuko, the first good firebender he’s met this century, to be his firebending teacher - even though Zuko wants nothing to do with him.
Based on this tumblr post.
(Please note: This fic is technically unfinished/abandoned, but contains end notes with my original plans to wrap-up the fic)

Summary
AU: Canon Divergence from 2x8 "The Chase" where Azula chooses to shoot Zuko and makes her escape instead of going for Iroh. Also she decides to use lightning, because hey if she kills Zuko then maybe Iroh will be too fucked up to fight. Listen it made sense in her head okay, how was she supposed to know that her brother's a stubborn cockroach, that the Avatar's compassion was literally boundless, that he was traveling with a waterbending healer skilled enough to save him?
AKA: A Life Changing Field Trip but it's like half of book 2 and Zuko's incredibly injured and also Iroh is there
ABANDONED.

Another Dark Prince (Working Title) by stix
Fandoms: Tales of Arcadia (Cartoons), Trollhunters - Daniel Kraus & Guillermo del Toro
06 Dec 2020
Tags
Summary
Gunmar has been out of the Darklands for quite some time. The idea of the world potentially at his hands is oh, so close, but the rest of his army is still trapped. He can’t do anything but to remain unknown to those who know of him, as he is aided to try to get his powers from the Darklands. The ones involved are either alongside his plan, against it, or innocently oblivious.
But after an accident caused by the Skullcrusher himself, everything changes. And it starts with a small, bright-eyed boy named Jim.
In other words: everyone’s allegiances are questioned when the boy is entailed, and Gunmar has two sons now.
(in other other words, the Dark Son AU! as an attempted fic)

Summary
The future turns out to be much worse than anyone expected. The fight against the Illuminati turns into war, and while victory might be in sight, the cost may be too much to bare.
Samael finds him and offers Rin a solution: go back in time and do whatever he can to make sure this, never comes to pass.
Rin doesn't hesitate, but he probably should have made a plan beforehand. It'll be fine. Don't worry about.

Summary
"Da-ge,” Nie Huaisang says in good cheer. “Why don’t I handle this? Isn’t it time I start helping around the sect more?”
“You can help by practicing your saber for more than one hour a week,” Nie Mingjue retorts on impulse, but considers the offer carefully. Huaisang is smart and insightful. Maybe he is just better suited for the sort of chaos that can’t be solved by throwing a saber at it.
“Alright,” Nie Mingjue concedes. “If you have some ideas, go ahead. If you need help with anything…”
“It’s alright Da-ge, I’ll make this work.”
(In which Nie Huaisang takes charge of the Nie sect. Things get worse more than they get better...)
