Easier Said (And Other Lies) by Concerned_Brown_Bread

Summary
Ozai had stood against the fire, light casting a halo behind a man who pranced around as a Spirit. Thirteen-year-old Zuko had looked up to him, like mortals looked up to the heavens. He had looked up, thinking that there would be mercy. He had hoped that this was all a dream, a sick nightmare, and that Father would cradle his face and wake him up. He had prayed -
And he had burned.
Or, Ember Island brings up old memories, a boy tells a story, and the Gaang finds out about Zuko's scar.

Summary
Something’s wrong. Suddenly, it’s too much. For him, for her, and it's enough to make her feel scared. Toph reaches out to touch his hand, and he flinches. He’s always run hot, been a little flighty. But this—this is different.
Zuko says he’s fine.
He’s lying.
(Toph and Zuko talk about realizations and wishes.)

Summary
Sokka replayed the words in his head, surely he hadn’t heard that right. “I’m sorry, what did you just say?”
Iroh looked down, perhaps in shame, perhaps in sadness that even though his nephew had grown stronger and had finally learned to care about others and let them care for him, he still wouldn’t discuss that day. “Zuko has not told you the reason he was sent to find the Avatar in the first place.”
(or, Sokka finds out how Zuko got his scar)

Summary
And again, she couldn’t help but connect that story she heard when she was eight to this adversary. She couldn’t help but wonder what his face looked like or if he could see out of his scarred eye. And she was still confused over why he had joined his sister overthrow Ba Sing Se when he was supposed to be banished from his nation. She didn’t understand why he still fought for the Fire Nation’s side.
So when the infamous Angry Freak With a Ponytail showed up on their doorstep to, of all things, teach Aang firebending, Toph just thought ‘so, you came to your senses, Prince Ponytail?’
(or, Toph knows how Zuko got his scar)

Summary
Katara and Zuko have to hide in a cave following their encounter with Yon Rha. Comforting turns to cuddling, which turns to waking up on Appa's tail in each other's arms. Katara is shocked at how comfortable she is. Zuko is shocked that Katara doesn't hate him for it.
And it's the best night's sleep either of them has had in a while.
It doesn't mean anything though. It's not like it's going to ever happen again.
That's what they think until they realize how difficult it is to sleep without the other's presence.

Summary
Zuko idly mentions that he hasn’t seen Uncle in months-- and leaves out the fact that it’s slowly killing him inside-- and Aang suggests that he does what they’ve all been doing:
Make up an excuse.
Zuko is scandalized, because he’s the Firelord and he has to be responsible, but the more he thinks about it, the more he’s sure that he can manage to do great good for his people with a visit to Ba Sing Se. It’s not so much making up an excuse as it is knocking out two pigeon-hawks with one stone. Convenient for everyone.

Summary
“Okay,” she thought out loud. “Sokka, Ty Lee, and... Zuko.”
“Wait, no!” Katara whined. “I don’t wanna kill any of them!”
“I'm pretty sure you gotta kill me,” Sokka slurred. “The other stuff is gross.”
Katara nodded solemnly. “Yeah, I don’t think I could choose to be around your socks,” she agreed, causing the group to burst into another round of laughter.
“Okay, kill Sokka… marry Zuko... and sleep with Zuko.”
“You said Zuko twice,” Ty Lee told her.
“You’re dead too, I only like Zuko,” Katara teased. Ty Lee raised her glass to her, and giggled as Sokka snorted into his drink. “What?” she asked, looking between her brother and Ty Lee.
“Okay but like, can you even imagine momtara and dadko getting it on? Like, that’s my mom and dad,” Sokka snorted. “Gross!”
The group burst into laughter, as Katara narrowed her eyes.
“What the fuck is dadko?” Zuko asked. Aang turned to him, with the decency to look slightly abashed.
“That’s what we called you at Ember Island.” Aang explained. “Because Katara took over the role of team mom, and you were like our dad.”

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.)
