Summary
Sokka is born in the dead of winter with a red dragon curling down the left side of his back.
Zuko is born in the sweltering heat of summer with a sword down his spine.
—
He doesn’t want to talk about it when their gazes turn on him. They make assumptions— is it someone he left behind in the Fire Nation? He looks away when he agrees with them.
Toph brushes past him when they all part ways. She says, “I know you’re lying.”

Summary
They gravitated towards Zuko whenever the temperature dipped even slightly. At night, he often woke to someone pulling their bedroll towards him, or slipping under his arm, or turning over in their sleep and colliding with his shoulder.
It alarmed him, at first. It had never been a good thing when someone woke him in the dead of the night.
It was strange, then, that he was on the run without Uncle, officially a traitor to his homeland, and for the first time since his mother left, he woke in the night sandwiched between bodies, feeling safe.
(Zuko becomes the group's heat-pack.)

- Zuko's complete and utter lack of a plan afterwards(Zuko's aim on the Day of Black Sun is a little off. Ozai gets struck by his own lightning. Azula grudgingly takes care of the rest.)

Summary
“It’s healing really well.” Katara tells him with a smile, before her lips quirk down into a frown. “Though it’ll still scar pretty bad.”
Zuko shrugs. “It’s ok. I doubt people will really focus on it anyway… the one on my face is a bit more prominent.”
Katara makes a face, like she’s not quite sure if she should laugh or frown, when Toph speaks up.
“You have a scar on your face?” Toph asks, sitting up so she’s sitting by his legs rather than lying on them.
Zuko blinks. He never quite forgets that Toph is blind, but the fact that she can’t see his scar never really occurred to him.
“Oh, yeah.” Zuko looks down at his lap. “My father burned like, half my face off before I was banished.” He says it a little too casually, probably not bitterly enough.
A crash next to him makes him look up, to see Katara's horrified expression, and a shattered bowl of water at her feet.
No one says anything for a long moment.
“Zuko… it- your dad?” Katara finally manages to gasp out. Zuko blinks at her, his brain moving slowly.
“You didn’t know?” He asks in genuine surprise.
“No.” Sokka wheezes.
Zuko blinks at him. “Oh.” Is all he can manage to say.

The Gaang leave Zuko and Toph in charge of dinner. Chaos ensues.
(inspired by @hollypunkers's post: kind of obsessed with the idea of the rest of the gaang leaving Toph and Zuko to watch over some cooking food and when they come back its burned and Katara starts fuming but Toph and Zuko are like “we’ve never stepped inside a kitchen in our lives and only have one eye between us, if anything it’s your fault”)

Summary
“We are not hugging the evil out of Zuko, Sokka.”
“No, I have an even better idea.” There's a lopsided grin playing across his features and a determined glint to his relentlessly blue eyes. It looks stupid to Katara. In retrospect, it really should have looked stupider. “What Zuko needs—” His voice becomes low and monotonous as the history lessons Gran-gran liked to dish out, and he whips a seal-walrus mustache from his pocket and plasters it onto his face with embarrassing levels of enthusiasm. “—is therapy.”
“Where the hell did you get that mustache, Sokka?”
—
(Or, the Gaang attempts to give Zuko therapy. Zuko just wishes Sokka would stop interrogating him with a mustache.)

One Who is Blinded by the Light of the Sun, Will be Lost to Wander in the Dark by Mleman1946
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender, Avatar: Legend of Korra

Summary
Life is a series of contradictions.
Of opposites.
Light and Dark.
Push and Pull.
Order and Chaos.
Who are you to take the balance, cast it aside, break it, shatter it, and banish it?
Who are you to play god?
Who are you to doom us?
Zuko fought against the Gaang when they tried to save Zuko from the blizzard in the North Pole. Finding himself lost in the tundra, Zuko fights with every breath before stumbling into a valley, hosting a massive, gnarled tree of dead roots in the center.
One month after the failed siege, from the frozen wastelands of the northern tundra, a new Avatar walks free. One who is of the dark rather than the light, of the push rather than the pull.
An Avatar of Chaos to combat that of Order.
Who are you, to take our balance and desecrate it?
A fool, one who has given the keys to their own downfall.
After all,
