    Summary

    The first time Zuko watched his father bend lightning, Ozai had come to himself with a familiar smile, the one Zuko went on to fear.

    When Azula bent lightning for the first time, she returned to herself beaming, giggling at her hands in awe of what she had done.

    Zuko comes to himself screaming.

    Summary

    At first, Sokka dismisses it.

    He notices, they all do, that Katara feeds Zuko less. A lot less. He notices that Zuko’s portions are often burnt and lacking any care, so even the little bit he does get is barely salvageable.

    Sokka notices, but he doesn’t care.

    (In which Fire Benders need to eat twice as much because they create their own fire. Based off Chapter 17 of "The One Where Zuko's Hair Matches Sokka's and Other Tales")

    Summary

    “Your lungs have collapsed. You can barely breathe on your own. Aang’s been keeping you alive with airbending.”

    Oh. That explains a lot. Zuko can’t do anything but choke in response.

    Thankfully, the Water Tribe boy isn’t looking for a response. “Not even four hours ago, Katara was the only thing keeping you from bleeding out on the pier. You’re probably just minutes away from being back where you were then.” He accentuates his point by gently applying more pressure to Zuko’s injury. Fucking ow. “You need them. If you want to stay alive, you don’t try anything. Okay?”

    Shit.

    . . .

    When his ship explodes, Zuko isn't so lucky to get away unscathed. No amount of firebending can protect him from the solid steel the explosion launches everywhere. His ship is lodged in his chest, and he can't breathe. He must rely on the Avatar to do it for him.

    Summary

    Uncle is gone.

    Father says it casually, over dinner, the way another man might recount a minor inconvenience from his workday. Azula smirks, but the words just rattle around uselessly in Zuko’s head.

    “Forgive me, Father,” Zuko says as evenly as he can. “I’m afraid I don’t understand.”

    “I had Iroh executed.”

    Or: Zuko never joins the Gaang.

    Summary

    Ba Sing Se has fallen, and Prince Zuko accompanies his sister home with Iroh in chains. The Spirits are angry with him, sharing their displeasure at his choices as a vicious storm rages and swells around them, sending him off of the ship and into the roiling sea. Zuko drifts listlessly, barely clinging to hope that help will come and he'll be rescued. When another Fire Nation frigate comes into sight, he's filled with a fragile relief, only for it to come crashing down in terror when the soldiers aboard the ship turn out to be water tribesmen in disguise.

    Imprisoned by the same people he fought and betrayed in Ba Sing Se, Zuko comes to the cold realization that the one thing he was so close to finally obtaining will never happen. Giving into despair and missing Uncle Iroh, he is faced with the reality of his situation and his future survival, or lack thereof.

    (Based on Season 3, Episode 1 The Awakening,)

    WARNING:
    This story handles heavy topics including thoughts of suicide (by self inflicted starvation and neglecting injuries) and medical professionals (in this universe) trying to help in the limited ways they can. (hence the force feeding and non-consensual drug use tags).
