    Summary

    High Sage Kenji blesses Fire Prince Zuko with the resilience of the reed, who bends in the wind and never breaks. When he is done, Fire Prince Ozai narrows his eyes, seemingly displeased by this blessing. But Kenji does not speak for himself; he is only a vessel. 

    -

    The newly-crowned Fire Lord Ozai offers his firstborn son to service in the temple.

    This turns out to be a catastrophic mistake.

    Summary

    Zuko had hated himself the moment he presented. He hated what being an omega represented, and he'd do anything to hide it. Unfortunately, Zuko has never really had luck on his side, had he?

    Summary

    After that fateful Agni Kai, Ozai makes a different call. Branded as a traitor and banished to a prison camp, Zuko learns how cruel the Fire Nation can be to its citizens. Three years, a water tribe raid, and an unexpected meeting with a gang of over-enthusiastic idealistic children puts Zuko back in the spotlight. The revolution is coming and it wants another poster boy, but Zuko is not willing to lend his face to the cause.

    Summary

    Zuko loved his Father, like kindling loves the fire.

    Ozai just wished he would die already.

    (Or: Zuko’s father meant for him to die at the Agni Kai, but the spirits have a different plan, one that Hakoda didn’t recall signing up for.)

    Summary

    Uncle Iroh- for some reason Zuko yet again failed to understand -refused to shoot lightning at his nephew. When further asked about it, he'd said something about it being for safety and health reasons (although it was still a bit unclear whose health he was referring to).

    Zuko had never been able to count on luck though. If he wanted to ensure he could get an upper hand against his family, he would have to go and look for one himself, like with pretty much everything else in his life.

    But perhaps people should really be careful of what they wish for. It might become true in the least expected ways.

    Or:
    Zuko gets cursed by the spirits and things go differently than expected, but also not much changes
