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 doesn't wake up after the Lightning strikes his chest. It's too quick, and he can't siphon its blow. He falls, slowly dying. Slow enough to see his sister fighting Katara. Slow enough to see their battle unfold. When he finally succumbs the last thing he sees is Katara rushing over a second too late, trying futilely to save his life.
The only thing he hears are Azula's screams and cries, as she sits chained to the grate in a sobbing mess. When Zuko finally succumbs to his wounds he hears her cry.
When he wakes he hears a laugh, and it's the laugh of a child.

Summary
Scarred by the brutal Agni Kai in body and soul, Prince Zuko is not banished—but chosen. Agnis (my oc), the mortal incarnation of the Great Sun Spirit Agni, takes the broken boy under his wing, healing his wounds and teaching him the sacred truth of firebending. Under Agnis’ guidance, Zuko flourishes, his heart kindling with gratitude, then reverence… and finally, an all-consuming love for the man who became his father, his mentor, and—inescapably—the only light he craves to possess.
In other words, Zuko was meant to worship the sun—not to crave him in his bed.

Summary
After the battle at the Northern Water Tribe, Sokka is captured by Zhao.
It's not incredibly ideal, however, he reckoned he could escape if given the right motivation. Most of which is provided by his cellmate, Prince Zuko, the boy they've been fearing for months. The Fire Prince who has spent the last few months of Sokka's life miserable, trying to keep him, his sister and the all-powerful twelve year old boy alive. It's his rotten luck to be locked up with Zuko, he's only going to foil his plans wherever they go.
At least, that's what Sokka thought.
The thing about war is, the smoke rises so high, so thick, things aren't as clear as they once were. Sokka believed all Fire Nation was evil, that it was only capable to destroy. All he saw when he looked at the Fire Nation was the fire in their eyes. But what could possibly happen when he starts to feel the fire in the heart of one, golden-eyed boy, who is more than he appears?
Sokka's got a lot of learning to do, as does Zuko. Slowly, they're finding that as long as they're together, they might be able to take on anything.
