Summary
For ten years Zuko couldn't manage to summon a single flame. It wasn't until he accidentally bent air that he realised why; airbenders can't bend fire. And Zuko was an airbender.
or
zuko uses his airbending to pretend to firebend and his new personal connection to the airbender genocide kicks zuko off on a big fat field trip of self discovery where he realises that fire isn't the only element he can fake bend, competes in earthbending tournaments with toph, joins the freedom fighters, becomes a kyoshi warrior and joins the gaang

I Get To Love You (It's The Best Thing That I'll Ever Do) by writinggoblin
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender

Summary
“The Avatar’s resurfaced."
“That’s impossible.” Zuko frowned, “The Avatar is dead. Definitely, completely dead. No one has seen an Avatar in almost a hundred years.”
“Correction: no one had seen the Avatar in almost a hundred years until he appeared in some nothing village in the South Pole three months ago."
OR
When The Avatar resurfaces, Zuko is in Ba Sing Se taking care of his younger sister Kiyi. He doesn't plan on having anything to do with the Avatar or the War. Apparently, the Universe has other ideas. Then again, when has it ever cared what Zuko thought?

Summary
Zuko never got to complete his redemption arc. When he confronted his father on the day of the eclipse, he never walked away from the fight.
Alternatively:
Ozai killed his son before he could run away and join the avatar, mixed with my favorite SoulmateAU where the gaang is one big soul family.- Language:

Summary
After convincing Wan Shi Tong to allow them to explore the Library, the Gaang stumbles into the Spirit's Librarian, who happens to be an awkward, scarred, very-passionate-about-knowledge teenager.
-OR-
After Zuko gets banished, he ends up in Wan Shi Tong's Library. Wan Shi Tong, respectfully, says "fuck it" and claims him - sorry, *adopts. Now, Zuko spends his days in the Library, indulging his inner theatre kid and learning about anything he can. Then, three years later, the Gaang drops in.

Summary
Prince Zuko is born with eyes of pure gold, the surest sign of a strong inner flame.
Prince Zuko is born unlucky. He has no fire to speak of. No spark of potential.

Summary
Zuko realizes his destiny much earlier. As in, as soon as he wakes up in the palace after his Agni Kai and is told he is banished. Unfortunately, he's never been a patient one. So he storms right up to Ozai and tells him what he's going to do. And gets locked up for over three years. Then, one day, he's being pulled out and told he's the new Fire Lord.
A "Zuko never meets the Gaang and suddenly becomes Fire Lord after three years of literal torture" AU. In which the Gaang doesn't know what to think of the new Fire Lord who happens to be the missing nephew of Aang's firebending teacher, Iroh constantly has a headache, and, sure, maybe the world hates the Fire Nation, but the Fire Nation LOVES Zuko, and he can work with that.

Summary
Unrelated fanfictions (unless stated otherwise) about the characters' reactions to their stories, be it a book character or a movie character. If I find it interesting and I want to write about it because nobody else will provide me with anything I truly like, then it's going to be here!
If you're into this kind of thing, I guess... I hope I wrote about something you like/I wrote things you agree with and appreciate :)

Some people are born with soulmarks. Zuko has them, but his grandfather burned them off because they "make you weak."
Team Avatar has a few things to say about that.

It’s not a field trip, but at least it’s something by FanGirlFrom2012

Summary
I saw this post that said Zuko sleeps on his scar side to hear better. Here’s a fic about that.
Bon appetit.

Summary
A collection of Zuko-centric one-shots that can be read independently with the exception of the ‘Flares’ series.
Fics mostly contain angst, hurt/comfort, whump, some humor, and of course the generic “The gaang finds out how Zuko got his scar”

Avatar: Protector of Peace (Voltron X ATLA crossover) by Lava_Serpant
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender (Cartoon 2005), Voltron: Legendary Defender
04 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
A lot has happened since Katara and Sokka found Aang in the ice. Back in the Earth Kingdom to find an Earth bending teacher for Aang they’re confident that they can face anything in the way without anyone else unless it’s Aang’s teacher.
But when Aang has a vision of a mysterious man with feline creatures in a swamp and found him for real Aang suddenly and quickly forget how kidnapping is illegal.
~
What Lance and Keith is doing is definitely illegal. They should know, they made the rules, but coming across a planet with alien life that looks and acts exactly like humans who were they to resist the temptation to blending in with an undiscovered alien civilisation? How were they supposed to know this world had magic people who could move elements with their mind? And what the heck was the Avatar?
AKA Lance gets kidnapped by some kids and decides magical powers/destined saviours or not they need adult supervision.
AKA Keith gets stuck with a ansgsty prince, a tea loving uncle, goes through hell trying to find lance, make sure they don’t die, and resist the urge to commit manslaughter or homicide.
He succeeds at most of that stuff.

A Little Bit of Death by trickyster_3000
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender (Cartoon 2005)
03 Oct 2025
Tags
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.

Sokka Steals a Dragon From the Freedom Fighters by Pooka_Huldra
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender (Cartoon 2005)
22 Feb 2025
Tags
Summary
Just a year into his search for the Avatar, Prince Zuko is swept off his ship during a fierce storm. Heartsick and alone, he eventually makes his way to a certain forest in the Earth Kingdom. After defending himself from Fire Nation soldiers using his bending, Zuko is captured by Jet, who is delighted to have an ashmaker for a prisoner.
When Aang, Katara, and Sokka arrive, it's too late; Zuko is left with no name, no humanity, and no sanity.
This fic has been described as an "angst cake with sprinkles of humor and sweetness on top."

With Honor of My Own Making by MoonageDay_dream
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender (Cartoon 2005)
08 Oct 2025
Tags
Summary
The gang is adjusting to life in Ba Sing Se when an unsuspected discovery lands them in custody of a surprisingly well-mannered Zuko (though his temper is a nasty thing). Exiled, powerless, and with a ridiculously large bounty on his head, Zuko has to decide how he's going to let the rest of his life play out. Trust grows gradually through trial and error, through war and laughter, and maybe just maybe through a belonging Zuko never imagined he'd feel again.
"If I am lost, light my path.
If I falter, temper my spirit.
Let my flame burn steady, not wild.
Let my fire bring warmth, not destruction.
Let me walk in balance, with honor of my own making."

Summary
“We are not hugging the evil out of Zuko, Sokka.”
“No, I have an even better idea.” There's a lopsided grin playing across his features and a determined glint to his relentlessly blue eyes. It looks stupid to Katara. In retrospect, it really should have looked stupider. “What Zuko needs—” His voice becomes low and monotonous as the history lessons Gran-gran liked to dish out, and he whips a seal-walrus mustache from his pocket and plasters it onto his face with embarrassing levels of enthusiasm. “—is therapy.”
“Where the hell did you get that mustache, Sokka?”
—
(Or, the Gaang attempts to give Zuko therapy. Zuko just wishes Sokka would stop interrogating him with a mustache.)

Summary
What if Zuko was the one struck by Azula's attack in The Chase? And what if instead of fire, it was lightning? A short exploration of what would have occurred between Zuko, Iroh, and the Gaang in that scenario. Hint -- the Gaang has a LOT of fun messing with him.
-
Tags
Summary
“How can we trust you to teach Aang anything when you clearly can't control your flames?!”
Irritation flashes across Zuko’s face. He wants to say something, but Katara doesn't give him the chance.
“You burned Toph right after you announced that you were on our side! You burned down Kyoshi Island! Not to mention what you did to yourself–!”
Zuko raises his hand.
“Wait,” he says, frowning. “You think that my scar was caused by… some kind of training accident and that I did it to myself?”
Or: Katara has doubts about Aang's new firebending teacher. After all, Zuko’s fire has already hurt too many — including himself.

Summary
When Zuko was born, he was sick. He wasn't supposed to live. Everyone said it was Zuko's fate to die. Agni disagreed. Zuko was blessed with life. He lived, much to Ozai's dismay. When Zuko is banished, he does not look for The Avatar. He doesn't believe The Avatar is still out there. Then, while Zuko and Iroh are sailing around the South Pole, they see that brilliant light in the sky. Zuko knows, this is where his life changes.
Or: Zuko, blessed by the Sun Spirit, joins the Gaang early as they're being hunted by Azula.
