Summary
Set after the Boiling Rock, Sokka just wants to help Zuko however he can. This leads to a small argument with Katara, where Zuko tries to protect Sokka and Katara from Hakoda (Hakoda wasn't going to hurt them, but how would Zuko know that having had Ozai as his father). Sokka listens to Zuko explain his childhood, having made several guesses about how bad it was after seeing how Zuko reacted to Hakoda. Hurt/Comfort.

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.

Zuko had no words.
Well, that wasn’t technically true. He had exactly five, which would remain unspoken:
‘What the fuck is that?’

Summary
A dragon settles next to him. He’s a dark red, and it looks like there is fire unfolding on his skin. A dark scar of bright fire runs down one side, and a white one that looks like a shock of ice.
“Hi! Are you my spirit guide?” Aang asks. He’s pretty sure Appa’s his animal, but maybe he has another one in the spirit world. It’s not like anybody really tells him this stuff.
The dragon just growls.
Or: the siege at the north goes a bit differently. Everything else does too

Summary
“I told him about me,” he whispered, and felt Suki tense beside him, “I told him a while ago about being trans and…yeah.”
“Oh. Ok,” she said carefully, rubbing a hand under his shoulder blades, “How did he react?”
“Ok, I guess. He was really cool about it and listened to me explain how I feel about gender and what it’s like, but he had this…look on his face that I… couldn’t understand? I don’t know if he was secretly judging me or what but there was something he didn’t say, and I just kept thinking about it and over-thinking about it and once I realised I liked him I started worrying that he’s, like, freaked out or something. I don’t know. I’m just scared that if I’m not…manly enough, he won’t take me seriously anymore now that he knows. It’s weird. I haven’t worried about that since I was a kid and wanted my dad’s friends to call me by my real name but now…”
“Because he matters to you, Sokka. You want to know he respects you, all of you now that he knows the truth.” Her grip tightened, her voice becoming forceful and protective. “And he will if he’s a real friend, and especially if you’re meant to be something more.”

Summary
The cuffs fell in a loud "BAK" and a gasp followed through, the girl's arms falling by her side. Zuko rushed himself there as well, immediatly seeking to examine the burned hands. The figure flinched and hid her hands under her curled chest, moans taking the place of previous cries.
Or, the one where Zuko finally tries to sibling.

Summary
It has been said that when the time came, one day you would look into a mirror and see someone else. Not just anyone else, but your soulmate. Agni would show you your soulmate, your soulmate would see you too, and the two of you would be reunited. It was a beautiful, sacred affair, to find your other half in your lifetime. A time when you needed the other the most.
Zuko couldn't agree less. Zuko would greatly appreciate it if someone would explain to him why the idea of meeting his soulmate when he least expected it was supposed to be a good thing! It sounded like the worst thing that could ever happen to him! He didn't want to be 'known'. He didn't want to be 'found'. He didn't want to meet his soulmate period. End of discussion. No thank you, come back never. Go bother someone else.
There was just one problem Zuko hadn't considered. Why did Sokka have to be so handsome??

Summary
Zuko visits the south pole. On the surface, its a diplomatic visit (and partially, it is; he really has no time for pleasure cruises) but in reality, his friends take him penguin sledding (his council does not know about this part. Zuko may not have time to simply visit, but he does have time to elongate his stay. He is pretty sure they would not agree). There Zuko discovers a couple of otter penguins that have a small rock they treat like an egg. Obviously, that is pretty confusing . Zuko is confused. A talk about gayness, homophobia and cultural differences ensues.
