Summary
Sailing near the North Pole at the summer solstice, a few months after his banishment, Zuko finds his way to the Tree of Time in the Spirit World where Vaatu is imprisoned. Vaatu promises to help him find Raava's Avatar if Zuko frees him... which he can only do by merging his spirit with Vaatu's, becoming an Avatar of chaos. But before Vaatu will tell him where Raava is, he says, Zuko must learn to bend the other elements, to become a match for the other Avatar.

Timebending (discontinued) by Inferi (orphan_account)
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender, Avatar: Legend of Korra
02 May 2019
Tags
Summary
“When young Korra opened up that new portal, she had actually created an imbalance—small, but enough so that within the next few hundred years, the world will slowly begin to fall apart. There is more Spirit than mortal in the astral balance, and so, both are harmed.”
“There is a way to fix it before the universe tears itself in two, but it is with great cost.”
“I am so sorry, Zuko...the Spirits—no, we need someone who had existed before the imbalance, before Korra unknowingly ripped through the Spirit barrier, to go back and make it cease to happen in the first place. They would keep their memories, their skills...but their body, and their past world, will cease to exist, for the sake of keeping balance in the great Wheel of Time…”
“It has to be you, Zuko.”
***I AM NO LONGER WORKING ON THIS STORY*** sorry :c

Summary
“Zuko wakes up, eyes glowing bright white underneath the bandages and wraps.
Uncle Iroh’s cup falls from his hand and cracks into fragile shards on the floor, spilling jasmine tea over his sandled feet. Iroh does not look down, does not look away from his nephew.
When Zuko throws up over the side of his cot, Uncle is there to hold his hair back.”
Well, good news is they’ve found the Avatar.
Bad news is, this changes everything.

The Dragon of Tui Avenue by pumpkinpatchwrites
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender (Cartoon 2005)
10 Sep 2025

Summary
[“Here.” The boy holds out a cigarette for him. “You look like you need it.”
Sokka takes it with a grateful smile and is just about to get his lighter when the boy holds out his finger with a small flame flickering above it.
“Oh.” He brings the tip of his cigarette above the flame to light it. “Thanks.”
“No problem.” The boy jerks his head back towards the porch, a clear invitation for Sokka to join him, then he turns around and walks back to the bench. Sokka follows him without a word.]
OR
Sokka’s life slips into meaninglessness after Yue’s death. Nothing seems fun or exciting anymore, he mostly just allows himself to be dragged along with whatever his friends want to do in a desperate attempt to find something to hold onto, though it’s all mostly futile.
Then he meets Zuko, who’s moved into Yue’s old place. Zuko, who’s interesting and strange and kind. Who doesn’t judge Sokka even when he probably should. Who maybe gets it in a way no one else around him does.Bookmarked by iDontHaveACleverQuip (PonderingPrinces)

Appa and Momo Screwed the Timeline by Keetajet for blossomberries
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender
20 Oct 2022
Tags
Summary
”The balance is gone. Avatar Aang has died and the cycle is broken.” Old-man-Aang-without-the-arrows. Momo screeched, desperately trying to reach him before the dream forced him away and he woke up.
“The other bonds are gone. His bending masters and friends have also perished during this war.” Tall-and-fierce-face-painted-Aang murmured, looking resigned and less fierce.
Female-Aang-with-arrows flashed her blue shimmered gray eyes at the frantic Momo with a calm, shrewd look in her gaze that reminded Momo of Sokka, “Not all of the Avatar’s bond has perished.”

Summary
Zuko remembered the wind rushing between his fingers. No. That was impossible. He couldn't airbend—he was a firebender! Perhaps, perhaps—he had only heated the air, so that it just seemed like he had airbent.
But Zuko couldn't deny that feeling that had surfaced then...one of weightlessness...and of freedom.
He was an airbender.
But he was also a firebender.
So that meant... he was the Avat—
No. The Avatar was alive, an old man now, hidden within the walls of Ba Sing Se, the city's protector.
Unless he died, a voice hissed, like a dragon luring him to its den. Unless Avatar Huan died long ago.
Deep within the Southern Air Temple, Zuko unearths a long-buried secret: he can airbend. He is now at a crossroads. He can turn himself in to his father, securing victory for the Fire Nation—or face his destiny as the Avatar. But how can he learn all four elements when the Air Nomads are extinct?

Summary
They gravitated towards Zuko whenever the temperature dipped even slightly. At night, he often woke to someone pulling their bedroll towards him, or slipping under his arm, or turning over in their sleep and colliding with his shoulder.
It alarmed him, at first. It had never been a good thing when someone woke him in the dead of the night.
It was strange, then, that he was on the run without Uncle, officially a traitor to his homeland, and for the first time since his mother left, he woke in the night sandwiched between bodies, feeling safe.
(Zuko becomes the group's heat-pack.)

Iroh Knows Something (Jetko Week 2025) by Adirastts

Summary
Every night, he’d tuck his journal away under his sleeping mat. They both knew it was there, but it was Zuko’s way of silently saying “don’t read this.”
So… might that imply that it was okay if it was left out? Staring Iroh down as Zuko was away doing Agni knows what, with the only sounds of life being cricket mice and Iroh’s breathing, it lured him in to take a look.

Jet finally spoke up. “From the moment I saw your scar, I knew who you were.”
Neither of them moved, unnerving silence allowing Jet to continue.
“Your secret is safe with me, Zuko.”

Summary
Rubbing his hands over his face, Aang fell against Appa to take comfort in his fluff. “And it’s been a hundred years? That’s- I can’t believe- Wait, then why have you been looking for me, uh, for the Avatar?”
This was a pivotal moment and it needed to be handled with finesse, care, and the truth if there was any hope of Aang agreeing to work with him. Yes, Zuko could do this.
Aang wakes up from the ice and the story starts as we all know it. But instead of a Fire Nation cruiser crashing into Katara and Sokka's village, a small sailing boat lands on their shore. How will Hui the Yangchen Scholar change the coming events?

Summary
When Zuko was ten, a random palace servant assassinated Fire Lord Azulon. Three years later, Fire Lord Ozai banished him for speaking out of turn, and his mother scorned Ozai by going with him. Three months later, his mother bled to death in a dark alley while Zuko held her hands. Armed with only a pair of swords and a mask, Zuko struggled to survive on his own. By sixteen, he had seen enough of the Earth Kingdom to have doubts about the war, but it was completely out of his hands. He knew he was never going home.
Now the Avatar has returned, along with a sliver of hope for the banished prince. For the first time in three years, Zuko has a choice to make about what he wants out of the war and what kind of person he wants to be. There's one thing that he knows for sure: one way or another, Avatar Aang is Zuko's only chance to have a family and make a difference in the world.

Summary
“Why are you talking to me? I’m being an asshole on purpose, you know.”
“I don’t think anyone is capable of overlooking how much of an asshole you are, rest assured.” Dave begins walking. Karkat follows beside him. “It’s not complicated, man. I just saw this grumpy ass troll going to school in Houston fucking Texas – it was like seeing mothman at the local mall.”
“…. What?”
“You know. Texas. Notorious for being the brightest and hottest fucking oven in the south. It’s not exactly the zion of troll paradise. It is the zion of evangelism, though. Most people don’t give a shit about trolls these days, but if anyone still did they’d definitely live here. Or, like, Kentucky, probably.”
“… What the fuck is mothman?”
—
AU where troll refugees are sent to Earth to escape the turmoil of a species undergoing social reform. Karkat is one of said refugees and, tragically, that means he has to deal with human high school, which is only marginally better than being killed on his home planet.
