Summary
Zuko was always different from other people. Mother told him that was because he was unique and that he shouldn't feel bad for being himself. Father would say that Zuko was better than the other children and that it's stupid to want to be like his simple-minded peers. Azula who loved being treated as superior would laugh at him for being such a dumdum that he couldn't even appreciate being royalty.
But Zuko never asked to being different or special. He did not like being subjected under his Father's cold gaze or as the years went by Mother's fearful eyes. But like most things in his life, no one asked for Zuko's opinion, so he did what he did best and obeyed like the loyal son that he was. Never did he step out of line or spoke out of turn the only thought in his mind was to survive no matter what. Even if it meant that his hands got bloody, or he woke up in a cold sweat seeing blank eyes staring back at him. Zuko was the son of his father and the child of his nation, and he will obey even if it meant losing his humanity in the process.

Summary
The infamous war council goes differently; Zuko is not the one to speak up first, and although he is the one burned, fate has changed irrevocably.

Summary
"We're going to be alcoholics by the time we're thirty," Sokka sighed.
"You think we'll live to be thirty?" Zuko asked, honestly thrilled. Sokka had pretty good instincts. Perhaps Zuko should reevaluate his long term goals. He could start by having long term goals.
A more likely alternative was that Sokka was just a hopeless optimist. It just went to show, you never truly saw another man until you stood shoulder to shoulder against a fleet of war balloons intent on raining death upon the city you loved.
Zuko was just a normal guy with normal interests. He liked theatre, burglary, crotchety ostrich horses, watching the Blind Bandit crush her opponents in a glorious display of skill and violence... just your standard banished prince things. It wasn't his fault he kept stumbling into rebellions and uncovering long-buried secrets. Fine, maybe freeing the prisoners was on him, but he was completely innocent of all other treason. Zuko was his father's loyal son. He'd never betray his nation.
Or:
Uncle Iroh took a more creative approach to fostering Zuko's appreciation of other cultures. Now it's everyone's Problem.- Language:
