Summary
Aang isn’t the Avatar. But… he used to be…
But water doesn’t call to him, not in the way he knows it’s supposed to. And then, he is saved from Pohuai Stronghold by… an airbender?!
This masked guy that saved him, rescuing him with two swords and a small bout of accidental airbending… is the Avatar. Not Aang. Not… not anymore.
And he’s looking for a Master to teach him air.

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
Zuko's first impression of Sokka, the son of the rival force's Chief, is that he is reckless, loud, brash, and unfailingly honest. He's nothing like any of the members of court that Zuko has met before. Zuko... likes it more than he should.
Sokka's first impression of Crown Prince Zuko is that he's cold, calculating, and moves through his own court like it's a battlefield full of enemies instead of allies. Sokka is unwillingly intrigued.
OR: Political romance with no bending, love found between peace talks and assassination attempts.

Summary
Sokka had to stop taunting cute guys. It was so tempting with people like the Rose Petal from that tea shop, people who fumed at the smallest provocation, blushed at the smallest compliment. Sokka had annoyed him, he knew, and he actually felt guilty about it. He realized he could see… more in that man, realized aimless flirting wasn’t what he wanted.

Summary
When Zuko is twelve, he banished from his home. His mother left, his grieving uncle disappeared, his cousin died, his sister hated him, and his father had tried to kill him. He has nothing to stay for, not that he has a choice.
With nothing but a crew he can call his own, dao blades, a fresh scar on his face, and his mother's old Love Amongst The Dragons mask, he leaves the Fire Nation and sets out to travel the nations. Realizing his forefathers' and his father's cruel ways and the destruction they set to the world, he vows to end the war himself and gain his honor, not the one his father stripped of him, but the one he had never earned.

Summary
Banished by his own father, guilty of nothing more than wanting to help his people, humiliated and scarred, Zuko leaves his beloved nation and sets off to fulfill Ozai's wishes to find and capture the Avatar. Little does he know, however, that this supposedly gracious chance at redemption is nothing more than a very cruel lie, woven by the Fire Lord so that his son never returns home.
Zuko finds out the hard way, a few weeks into his search, the true nature of his mission, when he overhears a conversation between his uncle Iroh and lieutenant Jee. Heartbroken and terrified, robbed of any remaining hope at ever seeing the Fire Nation again, forced to accept that there was never any chance of winning back his father's love, if he had it to begin with, the boy flees from the ship and gets caught up in a terrible storm.
Expecting to drown in merciless waters of the ocean, Zuko is shocked to wake up on the riverbank in the middle of a very unfamiliar jungle. Tired, scared to death and still hurt, the thirteen-year-old can only curl up and wail in despair, awaiting his certain demise.
That's when a new door appears in the corridor of the newly rebuilt Casita.

Summary
Sokka did not expect to find an Airbender while fishing with his sister. He did not expect a Fire Nation ship to crash into their village, demanding the Avatar—who just so happened to be the aforementioned Airbender. And he did not expect a hot, sword-wielding, wise-cracking Firebender to not only help them hijack the ship, but then declare that he would be the Avatar’s teacher.
But when did anything ever go the way Sokka expected it to?
(OR: Within minutes of its formation, the Gaang encounters a Zuko who has long since begun working against Ozai. This has consequences for just about everyone.)

Summary
He gathered all his remaining strength and lept out of the wreck and onto the sand. He immediately started running for his life. The sand was warm and soft under his bare feet, usually an enjoyable sensation, but it made it hard to keep his footing and therefore his speed.
"Hey! That one's running away!", he heard one of the men scream and he saw in the corner of his eye that the two closest to him started their pursuit. He picked up his pace even more, although he could feel his lungs protesting. They were already tormented through the amounts of seawater he had swallowed while almost drowning and were not happy about the heavy exercise.
"Hey! Stop!", one of his followers screamed but Zuko didn't even think about it.
He could feel them closing in but he was almost at the treeline. If he made it just a little bit further he would be safe.OR
After the Agni Kai, Ozai decides to send Zuko out to the ocean to die and make his way there as miserable as possible. To Zukos luck, the ship hits ground and the wreck gets washed up to Earth Kingdom shores, where a ship of the Southern Watertribe fleet finds the injured teen. Under his false name Lee, they offer to take him to the next port.

Summary
Мужчина одаривает его неуверенной улыбкой.
Он молод, внезапно понимает Зуко. Не просто миниатюрный. Его ровесник, или, может быть, даже моложе.
— Сокка, — представляется он. — У меня нет кусачек. Так что, я думаю, мне придется ее размотать. Это будет полный отстой. Извини.
— ...Что?
— Колючая проволока? — говорит Сокка, снова хмуря брови. — Я не могу разрезать ее, но, думаю, смогу размотать. Она не выглядит слишком запутанной.
— Я… — голос Зуко замирает. — Ты знаешь…
— Я знаю, для чего это нужно, — рот Сокки сжат в мрачную линию. — И поверь мне, если ты начнешь разбрасываться огнем? У нас будут проблемы. Но…Что-то в выражении его лица дает трещину, и внезапно он выглядит измученным.
— Я не собираюсь просто бросать тебя в таком состоянии. Ты этого не заслуживаешь. Никто… никто этого не заслуживает.
Зуко не отвечает. Есть много людей, думает он, которые не согласились бы с этим.

Summary
An agonizing pain had seared through his skull as he dragged himself forward. His claws were replaced by the helpless pudgy fingers of a human's. His legs didn't move the way his own did as he crawled to his knees.
Faintly, he could still feel the swishing weight of his tail and the raw exposed nerve in his broken horn to the open air. This lanky form was unfit for anything Zuko was accustomed to as he forced himself to wobble to his feet, searching blindly through the rolling fog that filled the tower.
Distantly, he heard the screams of startled people as they cried out.
"It's avatar Roku!"
Zuko cocked his head, twisting around as his gaze swiveled in search of the Avatar. His right eye widened when he spotted his imposing figure standing in the doorway of the temple tower. A blue light pulsed off of him that radiated immense spirit energy.
"Roku?" Zuko croaked miserably, this human voice was uncomfortable in his fragile throat. It felt raw and smoky as he breathed the syllables past his lips. Sparks licked off his tongue as he grimaced and hissed his displeasure at the sound of more shrill human screams.

Summary
Zuko and the Gaang take a quick trip to town to gather the supplies they desperately need. Get in, shop, get out. Easy right? Except, of course, if you're really bad at laying low - or at not showing people your super secret air-bending tattoos.
Great. It seems like this time it's Zuko's turn to carry the braincell, and prevent Aang from being taken to the Fire Nation's newest cult leader.Alternatively:

Summary
Zuko and Azula are the best of friends. They're siblings, after all. They'll stick together and protect each other, no matter what.
After Zuko's banishment, he is assigned to a small squadron in the Earth Kingdom rather than being sent to hunt down the Avatar. Things rapidly go wrong from here. as things tend to do. Zuko gets thrown into a myriad of situations, and through it all, will he still retain that loyalty he once felt toward his nation? Or will he start to see nothing but enemies, as so many people in the other nations do?
Basically I found a lot of plot ideas I liked so I put them in the Plot Washing Machine (TM), threw Zuko in there too, and put it on spin. The Southern Water Tribe Warriors show up, the Freedom Fighters show up, June and Nyla show up, royalty from multiple nations show up, the Gaang shows up, Toph Beifong herself shows up. There is... a lot of "showing up".
