Summary
His father traces his scar one last time, then leans back, his long silk sleeves brushing against the filthy straw. “Would you like to come out of this cell, Zuko? Your room at the palace is waiting for you. You can take a bath. Have a fine dinner. Put on clean clothes. There is a meeting of the ministers tomorrow afternoon, and I would be so glad if my heir would attend.”
Maybe the executioner really is waiting, and this is all a trap.
But, maybe not.
Zuko has always been a survivor.
And he has been in this cell long enough to know that no one is coming for him.
OR:
The reign of Fire Lord Zuko lasted for three years before his father’s coup.
That was two years ago, and now Ozai is ready to let Zuko out of prison. After all, a Fire Lord needs his heir – assuming that heir has learned his lesson.

Summary
(rewrite.)
As the only female High Elf of your family, you are sent on a diplomatic mission into the Underdark. But diplomacy becomes a dark and twisted maze as you are forced into the toxic Drow matriarchy, in which men are only slaves, and the only laws to be followed are the whims of the Dark Queen.
Or, you participate in a horribly twisted culture in order to free sex slaves. And maybe marry one or a few of them.

Summary
Zuko does not notice when the Water Tribe girl first stirs. She is staring at his face — his scar — but strangely it is only when he faces her head-on that she is afraid.
She is the first person who ever flinches at his right side instead of his left.
He begins his interrogation at once. Uncle has dozed off, thankfully. If he knew she was awake, he would slow things down by offering tea. Still, Zuko is not a total barbarian. He thrusts the lukewarm tea in the girl’s direction. She looks around wildly, no doubt disoriented by her surroundings and Zuko presses his advantage.
“Where is the Avatar?”
A canon-divergent tale: Katara must protect the newly-found Avatar from a Fire Nation Prince, although he is not quite who she expected. But Katara has plenty of secrets of her own...

Summary
He comes at night, on the eve of a storm that will last for seven years. She cannot know it then; only when the veil of perpetual blizzard seals the south from the rest of the world and she is a sea away in the belly of the empire will Katara understand her fate.
“I need your help.”
