Summary
I'm horrible at summaries, but the gist is, I read a fanfiction where Sokka was the moon spirit instead of Yue and immediately started imagining what Zuko would look like as the Sun spirit. So, here it is!
~~~~~~~~~
Sokka doesn't believe in that wishy-washy spirit nonsense.
Zuko believes he's cursed.
When they meet, sparks fly. Literally. -

Summary
Zuko was almost killed the moment he was born. Ozai said he lacked the spark necessary of a fire-bender and almost cast him over the palace walls, only saved by Ursa’s powerful, motherly conviction. Pleading to give Zuko a chance. Agni, please, just one chance.
He wasted that chance at thirteen years old, during an Agni Kai, forever branded to be the banished son of Ozai. He was honourless, irredeemable, and yet still, somehow, he found his way. Zuko knows how it feels to be worthless, he knows how he it feels to desperately claw at that accusation and prove otherwise. This is why, with the Fire Nation's carcass resting on his shoulders, he knows he cannot buckle underneath the pressure. It is his responsibility, his duty to both his people and the world, to fulfil this role, for fear of his father's tyranny seeping back into the palace walls. He has a chance to do good here...and he cannot waste it.
.....The war is over and Zuko is the Firelord...Now what? How did we get from Zuko's coronation to republic city, and was the journey to peace easy? Spoiler, no..no it very much wasn't. Featuring: Decolonisation, the mystery of Zuko’s mother and the palace staff being chaotic (+gaang adventures)

Summary
He lets out his own sigh. "Ozai didn't deserve you."
He feels a dampness spread through his sash and he pulls Zuko away briefly. "Oh. I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking when I said that, I—"
Zuko shakes his head. "That’s not why I’m— ah—“ he wipes at his eyes. “We took everything from you. And I can never make it up to you. What my great-grandfather did to your people... It is my worst atrocity."

Summary
"The ashes of a phoenix must fall, for when it does it grows back far stronger and more beautiful than it had ever been."
She wishes she could hear her grandmother singing those words just one more time, the end of her little bedtime story, right before sleep was due. A time during the war, a time where she could go home, a time before the the Prince. A time where she could see her again. Phoenix's we're so beautiful, Katara had once thought to herself as a child, just as beautiful as the princess the bird in the song had carried away.
But no one ever talks about where those ashes fall, or were the Princess was taken.

In Our Bedroom After the War by Save_My_Dreams_Like_Wine
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender
10 Oct 2023
Tags
Summary
After the end of the 100 year war, Zuko doesn't sleep. Visions of the war, of his sister and father, all his failures, haunt him every time he closes his eyes. Instead, he walks the city, stares at his ceiling, does anything but sleep. This can only last so long.
When Sokka stops by on a diplomatic visit, he notices, and decides to do something about it.

Tags
Summary
Watching Zuko sleep, Sokka was reminded of that one time at the North Pole, when the others insisted on bringing Zuko with them so that he didn't freeze to death. He was jus as helpless and vulnerable... only now, Zuko was much more than just the guy who kept trying to kill them. Ever since he joined their team, he’d done so much for them; he’d proved multiple times that he was not the same person anymore.
So now, Sokka did not at all feel uncomfortable in his presence. And he was really glad they hadn’t let him freeze to death.
——The night after the fight with Azula is definitely not easy for Zuko; not just because of the damage that the lightning did to him, but mostly due to the really dark memories that keep coming back and are now scarier than before. Thankfully, Zuko is not alone on that difficult night.

Summary
Они никогда не отступали. Сражаться, идти вперёд, даже останавливаться — да, они могли это. Но не бежать, нет. И Зуко до белизны в глазах злило то, что другие народы этого не понимали. Неудивительно — ненависть и отчуждение проросли намного раньше, чем сотню лет назад. И им, чудом выжившим дезертирам, теперь менять мнение мира о Нации Огня.
