Summary
Zuko was not a good shifter.
Azula could switch between her wolf and human skins between steps. Not Zuko, he needed several minutes before he even started the shift, and that was on a good day. If it had been Azula who Animal Control found in that alley, they would have walked away convinced that their eyes had played a trick on them. There had never been a dog there.
But Zuko's long transformation would have only revealed his kind to the world. Father may think he has no honor, but he wouldn't stoop so low as that. Even if that meant being dumped in animal shelter, trapped as much by the 24/7 security cameras as by the cage bars.
He had the worst luck.
-
"Come on guys!" Aang said as he lead his friends through the clamoring barks of the shelter. "I want to show you my favorite dog! He's a sweetheart."
Aang lead the pair to where a monstrous beast of a dog was growling with raspy barks loud enough to drown out the rest of the shelter. His bright white teeth contrasted against golden eyes and a bright red scar that stretched over the side of his face as he lunged against the cage door.
Sokka laughed nervously. "Did the word 'sweetheart' change meaning when I wasn't looking?" -

Summary
“That’s ridiculous,” the prince says, avoiding his eyes and blushing. “You’re ridiculous. What are you even doing?”
“Flirting with you. I thought that was obvious?”
The prince blushes harder. He really is quite sweet, like a little tigerdillo kitten trying to act fierce. Sokka may have to keep him.
Instead of trying to fight Zuko during the second episode, Sokka does the one thing he’s actually good at- He flirts.
Poor Zuko doesn’t stand a chance.

Summary
Book 2: Earth: After the Gaang escaped from Crown Princess Azula's clutches with the help of Prince Iroh, Dragon of the West, the team seeks out a town to recuperate. Toph talks to a mistreated captive at the market square. As the truth comes out, it becomes increasingly obvious that the maxim "It is said to keep your friends close, but your enemies closer" runs true. With Exiled Prince Zuko unwittingly taken in by the Avatar and his companions, his understanding of the war, and the ways people have been afflicted by it, change forever. But will he heed his mothers words, and remember who he truly is? A tale of a fall, and a hard won redemption.
Welcome to Part 2* of Metamorphosis of a Prince, follow us as Prince Zuko changes once more.
* for full enjoyment of all facets, read the first four chapters of this (Demise) first, and then the Prequel whenever. Or do whatever you feel like.
As the Prequel complementary backstory, reading it is NOT required to understand this story.
A fair warning for those interested, though, it is quite a bit darker than this in both description and content, read the trigger warnings and the introductory note there before you delve into it.Series

Summary
After the Agni Kai, Zuko is going to die from his injuries. Iroh begs for the spirits to intervene--and the Blue Spirit answers. It saves Zuko, but irrevocably binds them together, changing Zuko into something no longer quite as human. The Blue Spirit has its own motives, and under its guidance, Zuko grows disillusioned with the Fire Nation during his three-year exile.
When he finally discovers the Avatar, Zuko's mission isn't to capture him--it is to help him bring balance to the world. But he didn't plan on falling in love with him along the way.

Summary
The Gaang, Zuko, and Iroh have finally made it across the arid desert and to the great walled city of Ba Sing Se.
However, within the walls of the Earth Kingdom's largest city, things are not as idylic as they would appear, and they face challenges that they never considered.
In addition to secret police, fire nation drills, and worst of all, politics, they will run into friends and foes both old and new, including some faces that they never wanted to see again.
In the midst of all this, they will try to contact the King of the city, and hopefully find Appa.
Hopefully without adding to already tragic backstories (not likely).Series

Summary
This is the Avatar. The Avatar is a little boy, a child. Zuko knows intimately what Fire Lord Ozai does to those.
--
It is Zuko's purpose to capture the Avatar and bring him to the Fire Lord, it is what he has to do to regain his honour. It doesn't necessarily go to plan...

Summary
Zuko knows his father does not believe the Avatar is alive, he does not truly expect him to find them. He's being punished for his disrespect, for not living up to what his father demands. He might deserve it, but he won't spend his life looking for someone who hasn't existed in nearly one hundred years.
If he's going to be a disappointment, he may as well do what he pleases, and if that means joining a pirate crew, chasing some spirits and blowing up whatever Fire Navy harbors are on the way, so be it.
-or-
A few months after Zuko's banishment he finds himself on a pirate ship.

Sokka/Zuko is endgame, but it's the slowest of slow burns.
MCD is not either of them.
There are original characters, I promise they don’t suck — I’m also apprehensive about ocs in fanfic but hopefully you end up loving them as much as I do —

Lu Ten survives the blast.
Zuko presented at five and was promptly shoved off to the side and with his small curious questions rattle an injured Lu Ten who starts to doubt his role in the Fire Nation. During his time healing, and caring for Zuko his life unravels.
Omegas are not allowed to train, they do not fight, they don't have a say. This is why Zuko trained in secret every night until he's forced to run, but a run-in with a Water Tribe teen and a bald kid who claims to be the Avatar might not only save him in the end but the world.
