    Summary

    Zuko and his pirate crew are helping out the Southern Water Tribe, since the Southern Raiders have been making appearances in their waters. (It might have something to do with Princess Azula's oath to find the Avatar, but who knows?) Zuko is forced to work with the annoyingly cute son of the Southern chief, and they stumble upon some strange kid in an iceberg while on a scouting mission. Now the former Prince of the Fire Nation is stuck on a global road trip on the back of some flying cow with his historian-dictated 'best friend', a Water Tribe girl who hates his guts, and an overpowered twelve-year-old. What could possibly go wrong?

    Summary

    After his banishment, Zuko's life expanded more than he ever thought it would. He found the truth: the truths about the war, the truths about people, and the truths about himself. Zuko was not raised to be a coward. He faced it head on, even if the truth changed every aspect about the way he thought.

    Summary

    The bath takes care of the sweat. Takes care of the burnt bits of skin and fat that still cling to his palm. Zuko scrubs his body until it’s raw, blushing red; he dunks his head under the hot water and stays there, staring up at the dark, vaulted ceiling of the washroom until his lungs run out of breath to use.
    The oil of honeysuckle and opium and cinnamon, sweet and sharp and earthy, does not wash the stench of scorched flesh out of his nose.

    Zuko falls asleep on the evening of his official coronation, when he’s twenty-one-years old and has finally reached his majority. Zuko wakes on the morning of the Agni Kai with his father, eight years earlier.
    This is annoying for several reasons, like the fact that the War is still ongoing, that he has zero friends, and that Ozai is not in jail.
    It’s time to scheme.

    Summary

    Sokka is a practical kind of guy. Reasonable. Science-minded. A connoisseur of facts. This makes traveling with the Avatar and his prodigy baby sister on a quest to save the world one wacky adventure at a time... a little stressful. He could do with a day off. But hey, they're his family now, and he's prepared to go through whatever he has to to keep them safe. He's less prepared to be saddled with the care of his worst enemy. Even if the kid is more quiet and adorably determined than scary when he stops being angry. Even if he's careful with his bending around them and sounds desperately sad whimpering in his sleep. Even if he only knows who they are sometimes, and the rest of the time he's shy and sweet and gentle in a completely not-Zuko kind of way. They're breaking this Spirit curse and sending him back. They are not keeping him. Sokka is putting his foot down, and not allowing anyone to get attached.
    -Or-
    The Gaang want to be rid of Zuko, return balance to the world, and stop the war. Zuko wants to drag the Avatar back to his abusive father, and continues to get in the way of returning balance. A 'helpful' Spirit sees a simple solution to these problems.

    Summary

    The Agni Kai happened 2 years earlier than in canon. After fighting for his life from his wounds, Zuko wakes up miles away from home with an impossible mission and a ragtag crew of the worst soldiers in the navy. He sees this and decides he doesn’t want to please a father that would do this to him, so he ignores his quest. Banished and without purpose, things aren’t looking good for the once prince of the Fire Nation. But hey, at least he has his uncle with him.

    *Basically, a story where Zuko realizes he’s been abused a lot earlier and says ‘Fuck you’ to Ozai and his quest. He decides that we wants to stop the war instead and he and his crew begin to fight the Fire Nation. When they find the Avatar, Zuko is overjoyed. The only problem is Aang is under the impression Zuko’s trying to capture him.

    Summary

    Though Ozai burned Zuko and planned to have him banish, things do not go as planned as the Fire Nation sees Zuko’s actions as great heroism and began to riot. Ozai had witnessed the devotion and protectiveness of his people to his son and he could see it as an advantage. Three years later, he allows Zuko to start his diplomatic voyage to the Earth Kingdom in hopes of bringing peace. But should anything happen to him… Will Ozai win the war and be rid of Zuko?

    Summary

    After more than three years of carefully playing along with their farce of a mission, the impossible happened: the Avatar returned. Now Zuko and his crew would be forced to participate in the hunt for the last airbender, but they had become uniquely skilled at committing treason unnoticed. Having to follow the kid around hardly meant that they needed to capture him.

    “He got away again,” they’d groan like particularly exhausted participants of a spirit tale. “We’ll get him next time.” And really, the Fire Lord had written Zuko off as a failure years ago. He wouldn’t be surprised that Zuko was failing at this too.

    It wasn’t like anyone else was doing a better job.

    Summary

    Naya woke up after a puzzling dream, only to find herself in an unfamiliar place, with wounds all over her body. In an attempt to escape she found more questions than answers; out of place faces, odd looking buildings, machine seemingly straight out of a made up society - nothing made sense, and worst of all, she had no idea where her friends were. When the chief of police, Lin Beifong, personally chases her down Naya takes it upon herself to set things straight - however, when the Avatar shows up along with faces both unknown and nostalgically familiar she will be forced to face a harsh truth.

    Summary

    Azulon meets his son’s glare head on. “This sacrifice is not only for Agni, but for our people. Morale is gone, it is time for us in the palace to place our lot with peasants. Bender or not the prince must die, for a god, and for the people.”

    Understanding seems to come to Ursa and Ozai at the same time. Horror crosses Ursa’s face and she reaches for her husband's sleeve digging labor broken nails into the silk.

    “Ozai, we cannot lie to a god.”

    Ozai shakes her off, “A god that let his chosen people suffer. Father is right, we are at war, the loss of a son will show our people how we tried and lost as much as them.”

    Ursa shakes her head, chest heaving, “We cannot lie to a god.”

    “I don’t care about a god.” Ozai leans down to look his wife in the eyes, touches her face like she is something that held value and now sits on the shelf of an antique store. “Let the people’s anger be on the god when our efforts fail.”

    “If he does not bend,” Azulon muses, bringing the baby back to the cradle in his arms, “then he does not bend, but that mustn't escape the palace walls.”

    Azulon hands Ozai his son and Zuko wails like he has been set ablaze.

    Or, Zuko was born to save the Fire Nation.

    Summary

    Teru inhales and tries to school his face into something resembling respect.

    He’s pretty sure he doesn’t succeed.

    “General,” he begins, voice as neutral as possible. “I don’t presume to understand your intentions, but was there any necessity to pit a fifteen year old boy against a navy captain?”

    Summary

    Zuko was banished for daring to have compassion. He was branded a traitor and cast aside for daring to care for his people, for the people of the Fire Nation who had no choice but to fight the war his ancestors had started, and that was not a lesson he would ever forget.

    His father intended to teach him respect. Instead, he taught him the merits of treason. And wasn’t it convenient that the men and women aboard the Wanyi were virtually all demoted to the ship for insubordination and/or failure to follow orders?

    Zuko knew exactly what he was risking by speaking up in that war room, and if his father thought that banishment would keep him from rescuing the 41st Division, then he was sorely mistaken. Come to think of it, this had one of Azula’s poorly presented gifts written all over it. “You care about them enough to fight an Agni Kai over them?” she’d ask him with a scoff. “Then go fight to save them instead, you dumb-dumb.”

    -

    Dragons were fiercely protective of their hoard, and Zuko? Zuko had claimed the citizens of the Fire Nation as his before he was capable of producing a single flame.

    Summary

    Finally, it’s his turn - he hesitates a moment before he sets his boot down on familiar territory. On the same dock, he realizes, that the Wani had sailed from four years ago. Jee can’t help but let out a breath he hadn’t realized he’d been holding. The seven of them share a long, silent moment amidst the hustle and bustle, before Teruko speaks. Her voice comes out soft and quiet, as if a lifelong prayer has just been answered.

    “We’re home.”

    ------

    After four long, hard years, the crew of the Wani finally comes home - and meets the prince who had led them on a journey of a lifetime, across a glimmering sea.

    Summary

    Father keeps on telling Zuko that he's acting without honor, but a lot of the time he won't explain what exactly Zuko is doing wrong, and what he should do to be more honorable. So, Zuko decides to do some research and ask around about how he should behave honorably.

    Or: the servants of the Fire Lord's palace develop a soft spot for Zuko, Zuko confuses everyone around him with his particular brand of shout-y, aggressive politeness, and somehow Zuko accidentally ends up leading a revolution.
