    Summary

    His father is a monster, Zuko realizes. But by the time he's come to that epiphany, it was too late.

    But maybe Zuko is a monster, too. After all, he's hunted down a mere twelve-year-old boy across the globe, nearly burned an innocent Water Tribe village in the inferno of his rage, stole an ostrich-horse from a family that had only ever shown him and Uncle kindness. Remained complicit when Azula shot the Avatar with lightning, shot fire at the waterbender when she had offered to heal the mark of his banishment.

    Turned his back on Uncle.

    AU: Zuko doesn't join the Gaang
