Summary
Part of the Instinctual Verse, please read that first.
It had been weeks since Sokka had freed Zuko from Jet's clutches, and Zuko... he still can't make a spark. He's spent every available moment in the sun, and while his chi is growing stronger, he can do no more than manipulate an existing flame. He's trying not to let on how... concerned he is, but since Sokka maintains that he's a 'terrible liar', he doesn't think it's particularly effective.
He knows that going to the Fire Days festival was probably a bad idea, after all there is a whole wall of wanted posters featuring them right outside the city wall. But honestly, if Zuko never made a bad decision, he'd never do anything, and he wants a taste of home so badly.
What's the worse that could happen?

Summary
One of the members of Zuko's council uses a saying that's derogatory to Air Nomads. While in a meeting discussing the celebration of an Air Nomad holiday. In front of the last Air Nomad.
Needless to say, Zuko is furious, and in no uncertain terms informs the councillor that his services are no longer necessary, with a hint of righteous Aanger. Because. It was anger. On Aang's behalf.
Sokka would've laughed.Aang is simultaneously hurt by what the councillor said and filled with the warm feeling of an older sibling looking out for him.
Roku? Roku recognises the look on Zuko's face. It's a look he's seen dozens of times, on someone else's face. On his daughter's face.
Iroh's the only one who notices Aang's normally grey eyes, just for a moment, flashing the same shade of gold as Zuko's.

Summary
Hakoda looks over at the fire nation military plans scattered across his table, turning to watch the prince of said nation sitting calmly in the chair across from him. He asks the only other question that he needs to know.
"Why?"
Zuko takes in a soft breath as he contemplates his words. In truth, he's been contemplating how to answer this question ever since he decided to turn his back on the only home he's ever known.
"Because my father is-.. a bad person. But I... am not."
It's taken Zuko a long time to be able to say those words and actually believe them.
---------Zuko gets a chance to do things right. He does not intend to waste that chance this time.

Summary
Ekko gaped as he stared at his environment. Blinking blearily, he stood up and traced the drawings on the stone walls. The old mines. Janna’s temple. How the hell did he get there?
Oh no. He groaned. Not again.
Or:
AU Ekko’s body gets constantly hijacked by other Ekkos thrown across parallel universes. -

Summary
Time slows. Four seconds. Ekko shouts. Something is wrong. There’s no time to think. Heimerdinger jumps out of the singularity, and, in his place–
Powder takes the leap.
In another timeline, Piltover tries to rebuild. No Hexgate, no fancy Hextech, nothing. Vi is familiar with this: raw labor, strength as its own language, sweat dripping between her shoulder blades. No, she thinks. There is no time to mourn.
A tale of two sisters. Even worlds apart, they'll still always find each other.

Zuko never got to complete his redemption arc. When he confronted his father on the day of the eclipse, he never walked away from the fight.
Alternatively:
Ozai killed his son before he could run away and join the avatar, mixed with my favorite SoulmateAU where the gaang is one big soul family. -

Summary
Hakoda just wants to destroy the Fire Navy, is that so much to ask?
Apparently yes, as his second in command drags in a net containing one half drowned fire prince with a severe brain injury. He can't justify tossing him back like the crew wants, so he will just keep him prisoner until they make it to port and then he's the Earth Kingdom's problem.
(Does it count as imprisonment if he's allowed to run around the ship as he pleases?)Hakoda and the crew slowly adopt a brain damaged fire prince. Just another day at sea.
