Summary
Sokka has been hated and abused his whole life for being a firebender, so when the Fire Nation comes to abduct him, it turns out to be a blessing. Everything changes when he meets Azula. Befriending the damaged princess, Sokka will learn that his new home is not nearly as perfect as it seems.
Meanwhile, Azula has never forgotten seeing her brother Zuko get murdered by their own father. Ever since, she has done everything she could to survive, even if she hates herself for who she's become. Befriending Sokka sets her on a new path, but will she continue to obey her father, or choose to make a stand against the war?
Everyone believes Zuko is dead. Little do they know he lives, trapped in a Fire Nation prison camp. There, he will discover the true cruelty of the war and suffer in ways he never imagined. When he finally returns to the Fire Nation palace, he will have to decide whether to enjoy happiness with the people he loves, or risk everything for a chance at stopping the hundred year war.
Sokka, Azula, and Zuko have all suffered terribly, but by finding strength in each other, they have a chance at ending the war and bringing peace to the world- if only they have the courage to try.

Summary
Sokka got separated from the rest of the Gaang in Gaipan, presumed dead but really just rotting on a prison ship. Zuko was banished to the 41st for his disrespect against his Father, floating around the military until he too was sent to jail for the worst crime of all: being liked more than the actual general.
There's only one thing these boys have in common: A little sister they would do anything for.
Is that enough to form a friendship for long enough to make it to the North Pole on foot, through the dangerous Whoop-up territory full of bandits and dark spirits?
Spoiler alert: No. But throw in a 40 of fire whisky and they can cobble together *something* resembling friendship.

Summary
At Driftmark Aemond loses his eye, but gains a dragon. While losing an eye sucks, Aemond doesn't really regret claiming Vhagar, only Vhagar isn't the only thing he has gained. The trauma and pain caused by the experience led Aemond to unlocking his hidden memories of a past life.
AKA Zuko reincarnates as Aemond and regains his memories at Driftmark, because I can't help but notice the similarities between these two and wonder how they ended up so different by the end of their respective series.

Summary
Zuko rarely made noise. Even his voice echoed his loyalty to the quiet; brittle, raspy, reluctant to leave his mouth, even when he forced it through his teeth. People shied from him, off-put by his hoarse words and empty stare. His silence spoke for him. It said all the words he couldn’t voice until there was no need to open his mouth at all.
But when he meets the children in the desert, that begins to change.

Summary
Zuko had been wandering the world Spirit cursed for years. It wasn't enough for the Spirits to refuse to let him stay dead, they were determined to make sure he kept on dying. Waking up to an already bloodied sword above him should have been no different to every other time. He never expected to stay. He wasn't prepared to care again. Yet he did and he would hold onto it as short lived as it may be.
This is a rewrite of Perpetual by tealeyedbeing from Sho/Zuko's perspective because I'm unfairly obsessed.

Summary
Three years ago, Katara made the mistake of healing Zuko’s eye in the crystal caves under Ba-Sing-Se. She thought that he had changed, that he truly was just a conflicted teenager that needed emotional support, like her.
When Aang finds Katara healing their enemy, Azula confronts them too. Aang is struck by Azula’s lightning and left in a coma, forcing Katara to flee and take refuge. Together, the gaang finds sanctuary with a group of rebels in the war, and take matters into their own hands until Aang wakes up.
Katara swears that she will never underestimate people’s cruelty again, and vows hatred to Zuko for his betrayal. Little did she know that he did change that day, and vowed to make her his.

Summary

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.
(Zuko is the Avatar. But… he wasn’t always…) -

Summary
Rather than discard his civility, it appeared that Fire Lord Zuko weaponized it. Jian felt his respect for the boy grow as he observed his response to Admiral Lei’s continual and blatant disrespect.
“What would you do if I asked you to bring your son here to learn a certain lesson?” The Fire Lord let curiosity coat his words, vague and distant as if he did not truly care for the admiral’s answer.
If the room had been tense before, it was nothing compared to how tense it turned after everyone registered the implications of those words.

Summary
Zuko saw the moment the ceiling caved in and the large rocks that would come falling down onto Katara.
He ran over and pushed them both away from the debris with a loud yelp from Katara.
It was at that moment that the ground beneath them disappeared.
For a second Zuko thought he’d pushed them both off the ledge as the sensation of falling reached him.
Only it faded as soon as it came and they hit the cold stone beneath them.
As she pushed him off her someone jumped past them and landed with a kick at their opponent.
Zuko didn’t recognize either of the people and when he looked around he noticed that he had no idea where they were.Or Zuko and Katara get thrown in the BNHA universe. As they try to get back, shenanigans ensue. Zutara slowburn.

Summary
“Ugh. They threw me in jail?” The kid craned his neck around to take in the other prisoners, blew some hair out of his face with a put upon huff, and gave an apologetic smile. “Hi guys! Lovely meeting you all. I would shake your hands and bow and all that, but…” He trailed off and jiggled the chains on his wrists.

What should have been a routine prison transport turns into chaos when a certain water tribe kid is captured. -
