    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

    "Fire Lord Zuko," Yue acknowledges, bowing at the waist. She does it in the Fire Nation style, as perfect as any Caldera-born noble.

    "Chieftess Yue," Zuko returns, and someone scoffs. He turns his head sharply, but everyone in his delegation is silent, so it must have come from Yue's own council. Yue's smile doesn't falter.

     

    (Or: two teenage monarchs, sitting in a council room, five feet apart 'cause they're not trained for this.)

    Summary

    Prince Zuko is born with eyes of pure gold, the surest sign of a strong inner flame.

    Prince Zuko is born unlucky. He has no fire to speak of. No spark of potential.

    (Until swords start bending to his will.)

    Summary

    Some people are born with soulmarks. Zuko has them, but his grandfather burned them off because they "make you weak."

    Team Avatar has a few things to say about that.
