If I Could Do This Shit Again by guttermud for AlibiNonsense

Summary
At the end of the day, Prince Zuko—when he had arrived, delirious and vomiting and choking on air—had been just a kid.
A kid in the worst place, at the worst time, in the worst of hands, and had come out of it bitter and vengeful and afraid.

Burning Ashes To Dust (Like A Funeral Pyre) by Imaginealpha
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender
06 Jun 2022
Tags
Summary
The first lesson Zuko ever learns about firebending is that power comes from anger.
Firebenders can draw power from their pain. His whole life, Zuko is told to use his old haunts to succeed, swiping fire from the nicks in his fingers and bursting angry flames from his left eye. Azula’s cold fire comes from the scars littering her arms and the phantom stinging of her father’s backhands. Iroh, too, has little marks on forearms and hands, long faded but still burning like new when he bends them with intense fury. The nature of firebending is not so easily boiled down, though, and throughout his journey, Zuko tries hard to truly understand his pain and power in life.

Toph’s heart drops to her feet.
It’s Sparky.
He’s alone.
And he’s crying.

Summary
Sokka's always had more soulpains than anyone else he's known, and all he can do is hope the war ends soon.
"Things may well get worse for you both before they get better," Aunt Wu continues. "But your soulmate is coming closer, is chasing your fate together, and will find you soon enough."

Summary
“I thought it was just you, but damn, look at the other Todorokis!” Kaminari laments, sighing dramatically as he collapses backwards into the couch, “It’s not fair, you’re all too pretty!”
Shouto would normally keep what he’s about to say to himself, but something compels him to voice the dark humor that immediately flashes in his mind.
“Thank you. We’re designer.”
From the kitchen table, Izuku and Katsuki choke on their respective drinks, hacking and coughing as they desperately try not to suffocate at the sudden remark.
(OR, Shouto discovers dark humor is a helpful way to cope with his trauma)

Summary
Zuko was a child when he met Agni. Then, the spirits started coming to him. Eyes hidden in the hallways, voices pleading for help, for recognition, for remembrance.
Zuko could see Agni. He could see the broken remains of a Great Spirit and the empty smiles of amnesiac ghosts.
And they could see him in return.

Fairy GodBrother Dabi AU by SanctuaryRemix
Fandom: 僕のヒーローアカデミア | Boku no Hero Academia | My Hero Academia
30 Jun 2021
Summary
The world is full of what-ifs. So what if Touya had gone back to that house after he died? What if he had spoken to Shoto before he became Dabi?
What if he became something else? Say... a Fairy Godmother?Or
Dabi accidentally becomes Shoto's Fairy Godmother, Shoto's life goal is to become a Hero while committing as many crimes as he can, and the two of them have a multitude of fun antics fueled by spite, flavored candy canes, and lots of 3am McDonald's.
And some times they cry. :)
(if Endeavor can commit familial abuse, Shoto can commit arson, I don't make the rules....EXCEPT I DO and the rules say the Todoroki siblings can do whatever they want)- Words:

Summary
"I haven’t seen anyone else,” Izuku said quickly. “It’s just been us. Did we all get here at the same time? I just woke up and I was here.”
***
Some heroes have happy childhoods. Some don't. And preteens aren't known for keeping secrets, despite the desires of their older selves. Several heroes find their histories brought forward, and things may not be as they should - in the past or the present. How much can a child be saved, when their next six years have already occured?
(Aizawa would like a nap. He did not intend "problem children" to become even more apt, but when has he ever gotten what he wants?)

Summary
“Every child is a treasure,” the chief says quietly, one hand pressing Zuko’s forehead into his own shoulder as if Zuko is a lot younger than he really is. “I’m so sorry no one has ever told you that before.”
And with that Zuko is crying into the shoulder of a man he hardly knows. A man that has shown him more kindness in the few days they’ve known each other than his own father has in sixteen years.

Summary
“I think he’s sick.” Bato says flatly. “So unless you want the next meeting to include the Fire Lord puking all over the budget scrolls, maybe see if he's okay?”
Hakoda glances up the hallway, like perhaps Katara will appear and take over dealing with the prickly teenager. Of course, his daughter is off treating injured refugees with the Avatar, and Bato is still staring at him expectantly, arms crossed.
“Fine,” He sighs, and he claps Bato on the cheek before heading into the room.
Or: Zuko falls ill not long after Ozai's defeat. Hakoda sits with him and learns some unpleasant truths about his childhood.
