    Summary

    Duty before love: its a simple mantra that Zuko tries to live by after the war. But its also one that is unfair, cruel almost when what he wants, and what he assumes need to be are so at odds with each other.

    Summary

    Having run into her insufferable ex at a charity event, Katara does what she needs to do: she grabs the person closest to her and presents them as her date. Little did she know that the person she thoughtlessly chose was Zuko Agni. Of Agni Enterprises. You know, the precarious heir to it all?

    ~

    She spoke from the corner of her mouth, hissing, “Whoever you are, please pretend to be my date right now. My ex is coming, and if I face him alone, I might kill him.”

    “Excuse me?”

    “Didn’t you hear me?” She whispered furiously, turning to finally look at whoever she’d grabbed. “I said –” she cut off, words hitching in her throat as she clocked just who exactly she had demanded false affection from. Her eyes hesitated over his left eye; small, red, and filmed over, surrounded by shiny mottled skin, before they took in the whole of his face.

    Zuko Agni, heir to Agni Enterprises, organizer of this event, the man who had mysteriously disappeared from the public eye conspicuously at thirteen, only to return a decade later, permanently disfigured in some incident purported to have involved a lighter, gasoline, and teenage rebellion. Right in front of her. Coat sleeve crushed between her fingers.

    Oh, shit.

    Summary

    Years after the war ended, everyone has gone their separate ways. A call for help comes from the South Pole and involves spirits, which means the whole GAang agrees to go. Katara, who has spent the last year being truly alone for the first time in her life, jumps at the opportunity to see everyone again. Especially when Katara assumes that they'll be stuck indoors the first day with an approaching storm on the horizon.

    But nothing ever goes as planned.

    Katara and Zuko end up further in the snowfields when the storm hits and have to make a shelter. But it's tight quarters and a long time since they've been close.

    Summary

    “Here it comes-” Doctor Li dived to get one of the buckets she kept for sick patients before Zuko puked yellow camellias, the flower of longing, down Iroh’s front. “Lord Iroh!”

    Uncle gave a hearty laugh which made Zuko feel guilty for getting crunched up petals and a sprinkle of blood on his robes. “It’s okay! I got used to this when Lu Ten had his first crush!” Zuko buried his head in his hands and wanted to die a quick, painful death.

    Zuko doesn’t want to tell Katara how he truly feels about her, but after contracting a disease that makes him puke flowers every time she makes his heart skip a beat, he may not have a choice in the matter.

    Summary

    "Rin deserted the army under the reign of Fire Lord Ozai. She’d seen shit. But being alerted that an assassin had breached the front gate, then discovering that the Fire Lord was missing? That was terrifying.

    Finding said Fire Lord three hours later eating fire flakes with his feet dangling over the edge of a five-story building was just...Rin wasn’t even sure what to make of that."

    Zuko is a little shit, and his blue spirit skills are going to drive his head of security up a wall. Literally.

    Summary

    For a hundred years, war and devastation consumed the world. Aang was one of only people left to remember that it ever used to be different. To remember that there was a time when sixteen year old boys weren’t dressed in armor and sent to commit acts of violence, and twelve year old kids weren’t meant to stop them. To remember having friends in the Fire Nation. To remembers walking through Caldera City with Kuzon, choking on Fire Flakes, and watching street performers.

    So now that Zuko was here asking for redemption...well, being friends sounded better than being enemies.

    Maybe their friendship was destined to be. Maybe together they could bring back some of what was lost.

    (AKA, After Zuko joins the Gaang, Aang gets to know him and they become friends).

    Summary

    He freezes when Jason's eyes snap up, and he stumbles back, widening the gap between them. Bruce doesn't try to approach him again, his heart in his throat.

    "You're not my dad." Jason mumbles, and Bruce watches as the boy's pupils shrink, and he looks horrified at something Bruce can't see. He's staring right at him, but for some reason, it feels as though Jason is looking through him.

    The words sting like acid, and Bruce ignores the crushing of his lungs, "I… okay. Okay Jason."

    "No, no, Bruce." Jason sounds frantic, and he pulls at his hair, "You're not my dad. You're different."

    (Bruce is late to patrol, Jason freaks out. And finally, they talk — better late than never, after all.)

    Summary

    It’s been a slow process, learning to recognise the different masks his fear can wear, and now, somehow, it’s crept up on him all over again without him seeing it coming.

    Which is how Zuko finds himself sat in a stuffy meeting room with a bunch of stuffy councillors, completely distracted from their stuffy talk by the way his heart is pounding.

    It just—

    It all happened so suddenly.

     

    Zuko is no stranger to fear, but the kind he feels with Katara is something completely new.
