Remember Ember Island by sixtiescosmo

Summary
It's been 5 years since the war ended when Katara arrives in Caldera as the new ambassador of the Southern Water Tribe. Katara and Zuko haven't spent any real time together since his coronation, and neither of them knows how to act around the other.
It would be so easy just to consider themselves friends...if either of them had ever stopped thinking about what happened between them that one night on Ember Island.

Summary
Katara felt like she was waking up from a long slumber, one of those that grace you once in a lifetime, where your muscles feel stiff after lying motionless for a long time and yet your mind indulgently asks for some more time. This was funny considering she didn’t remember sleeping for more than 2 hours in day because while healing Aang. As her consciousness returned slowly, she heard a weird murmuring sound.
It was a man's voice, a very deep raspy voice which murmured, "Come back to us, Katara. Come back to me." And was he holding her hand in a gentle grip? She slowly opened her eyes, squinting at the sudden light and then..... It was all red.

Wind to Waves to Dust to Ashes by AbroMelon34105

Summary
100 years ago, Fire Lord Sozin lead the Fire Nation into war against the other three nations, completely wiping the Air Nomads off the map and turning his sights to the Water Tribes and the Earth Kingdom. The Avatar, the sole person responsible for the peace of the world, vanished around this time and hasn't been seen since, and many have begun to lose hope that he even still exists.
Aang was never the Avatar. His twin sister, Anya, was saved at birth because she was the Avatar's next incarnation. Now, a hundred years have passed and as the last Airbender, it's his jobs to teach the current Avatar airbending...whoever that may be.
For three years, Zuko has searched for the Avatar at the behest of his father, along with the promise to have his honor returned to him. Desperate, Zuko has put every once of his being into this search, and now his luck seems to be turning around. An airbender - the last in the entire world - has been sighted in the Southern Water Tribe, and Zuko just knows that he knows where the Avatar is - if the nomad isn't the Avatar himself.
Yet he keeps insisting he's not. So if he's not the Avatar, then who is? And what is going on with these damn dreams?

A Little Bit of Death by trickyster_3000

Summary
To Zuko, life is a stage and an important play is taking place in front of him. He believes that it is his destiny to keep the story on track no matter what and ensure everyone gets a happy ending. Things would be so much easier if the characters would stop dying, killing him, and/or ending up in some sort of catastrophic situation. It doesn't really matter, he will reset the stage as many times as it takes until everything is perfect.

NFWMB (Nothing fucks with my baby) by Readme4fun

14 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
The story takes place five years after the original events of ATLA.
What would happen if Aang breaks out of the iceberg five years later? How would the world look, and more importantly how would the characters change?
21 year old Zuko has been out at sea for the last six years, since his banishment. One day he sees a clear blue light near the South Pole. Naturally he investigates, not in the hopes of regaining his honour. That is something that he lost hope of long ago, instead he does it for the sake of his crew of misfits. Little does he know that the strange blue light is about to rock his fucking world upside down.
Disposition:
* Chapter 1-10 The prisoner
* Chapter 11-28 The chase
* Chapter 29-49 Ba Sing Se
* Chapter 50-60 The guardians
* Chapter 61-70 The fate of the world
(Later chapters are generally longer)Mind the tags! A lot of focus on the spirit world, the avatars and what’s needed to end a 100 year old war. Moreover it's centered around Zuko, Katara, Mai, Ty-Lee and Toph. Aang and Sokka are important, but not main characters.
Please note that this is a WIP, chapters are posted consistently every Saturday.

Summary
After being burned by his father for refusing to fight him in an Agni Kai, thirteen-year-old Prince Zuko wants only two things: to restore his honor and re-earn his father's love, and to find some way to heal his face. So when a Fire Sage tells him there's a mystic spring deep under the castle that can grant him both things, he listens.
The next thing he knows, he wakes up in the middle of a city with foul air, technology beyond his wildest dreams, and lunatics on every corner. Shortly after he firebends to protect himself, a man dressed mostly in black catches him.
Who knew that being sent to another realm would be the best thing that ever happened to him?

Summary
Yzako, blessed by a dying dragon whose spirit joined with hers the day she was born, has lived her entire life in chains.

When she finally meets the banished prince she's been sent to assassinate, though, she realizes that she might not be able to kill him after all.

Summary
“How many catowls do you have to see to think it’s strange? Before you’d notice something was wrong?”
It had taken Zuko all of two seconds to come up with his answer, a scowl on his face and fists clenched at his sides.
“One. Catowls aren’t native to the Fire Nation: only the Earth Kingdom.”
In the moment, Zuko was so sure and so strong-willed that it only made sense. But he was wrong.
The answer was three catowls. The first wouldn’t seem real. After all, he’d never seen it before, so it was probably a fluke. The second would be real, sure, but he’d assume that would be the first catowl, and would think that maybe it was migrating. The third catowl would finally tip him over the edge. Because catowls didn’t travel in threes.
There was only one eclipse. Somehow, he had lived three others in the last few days.
The question was, Why? What did the spirits want him to do?

Summary
Sokka was immediately filled with a sense of dread. He looked down at his wrist.
Two swords crossed over each other, surrounded by an intricate design of lilies. Red lilies.
Sokka gasped, rubbing at his mark in an attempt to wipe it off. It had to be some kind of mistake. There was no way his soulmark was red. It couldn't be.
//
Zuko took a few deep breaths, leaning against the post. He was simply imagining things. His tutors always said he had an overactive imagination. That's all it was.
Slowly, he lifted his arm into his eyesight again, looking closer this time.
Yeah. That was definitely a soulmark. And it was blue.

Summary
The Avatar has returned 100 years after he vanished, and although rumors claim he's nothing more than a 12-year-old boy who only knows airbending, the Fire Nation has prioritized hunting him down.

A month later, Lee arrived at Pohuai Fortress, and three years later, the blue spirit helped the Avatar escape from the same fortress.Series

Summary
As he approached, a few things happened at once:
The Northern Water Tribe ambassador tugged sharply on Katara’s wrist, scowling down at her.
Katara yanked her wrist free, snarling something under her breath up at her former dance partner.
And Fire Lord Zuko found a glass of some nondescript party beverage splashed unceremoniously in his face, completely soaking his upper body in the process.
~*~*~
Or, when the new Northern Water Tribe ambassador's flirting with Katara goes too far, Zuko tries to be a gentleman and help. Key word being tries.
Written belatedly for Zutara Month 2025: Day 10 - Jealousy.
