    Summary

    The first time Zuko watched his father bend lightning, Ozai had come to himself with a familiar smile, the one Zuko went on to fear.

    When Azula bent lightning for the first time, she returned to herself beaming, giggling at her hands in awe of what she had done.

    Zuko comes to himself screaming.

    Summary

    "We're going to be alcoholics by the time we're thirty," Sokka sighed.

    "You think we'll live to be thirty?" Zuko asked, honestly thrilled. Sokka had pretty good instincts. Perhaps Zuko should reevaluate his long term goals. He could start by having long term goals.

    A more likely alternative was that Sokka was just a hopeless optimist. It just went to show, you never truly saw another man until you stood shoulder to shoulder against a fleet of war balloons intent on raining death upon the city you loved.

     

    Zuko was just a normal guy with normal interests. He liked theatre, burglary, crotchety ostrich horses, watching the Blind Bandit crush her opponents in a glorious display of skill and violence... just your standard banished prince things. It wasn't his fault he kept stumbling into rebellions and uncovering long-buried secrets. Fine, maybe freeing the prisoners was on him, but he was completely innocent of all other treason. Zuko was his father's loyal son. He'd never betray his nation.

     

    Or:
    Uncle Iroh took a more creative approach to fostering Zuko's appreciation of other cultures. Now it's everyone's Problem.

    Summary

    Sokka had never been shy about his admiration for attractive people. He’d often flirted with girls, complimented guys on their brawn or their style. But for some reason, none of that ever seemed to compare to the strange, overwhelming pull he felt toward Zuko.

     

    “Damn it, Zuko,”
    “why do you have to be so... beautiful?”

     

    Or

     

    Sokka has a big fat crush on Zuko

    Summary

    Despite a misspent youth and the memorable stint as Fire Lord, Zuko’s end is peaceful, gentle, and kind. So much so that, upon reincarnating into an entirely unfamiliar world, he lets himself be cautiously optimistic. Never mind that his new parents are peculiar or that his grandparents are perpetually overworked; he’s healthy, cared for, and before long he acquires a baby sister. Rhaella is a chubby-cheeked, purple-eyed squiggle of delight who’s thrilled to spend time with him. On balance, Zuko decides, this second go-round is altogether less complicated than the first.

    Summary

    “I would like to learn how to make a betrothal necklace.”

    Hakoda nearly drops his fishing pole in surprise. Under normal circumstances, this would be a cause for celebration. He would take the lures out of Zuko’s hands and wrap him in a tight embrace. 

    But under normal circumstances, he would know which of his children Zuko wants to propose to.

    Summary

    Dear Sokka,

    You never fail to surprise me, you know that? And that is one of the things I appreciate about you—you and your reckless bravery.

    You’re also quite handsome. (Though I don’t mean to insinuate that I keep you around only for the view). The castle is boring without you.

    Sokka, I can’t stop thinking about it. You’re on my mind all the time and then at night I am victim to fantasies I can’t even escape in my dreams.

    Thinking of you,

    Zuko

    P.s. I’m sulking so much that everyone has had enough of me, including my uncle.

    Ambassador Sokka and Fire Lord Zuko exchange letters after a good-bye kiss opens the floodgates of unresolved sexual tension.

    Summary

    A few people have asked if I would make a series for my Fire Lord Zuko fics so they’re easier to read, so here we are! The fics aren’t linear, or necessarily connected (though I do recycle original characters, and occasionally reference an event mentioned in another fic) but you don’t need to read all of them in order to understand one of them, so you’re free to read whichever ones you want. Enjoy!!

    Summary

    Part of her wonders if she should thank him—if she could—but when she pulls away from her father and tries to make sense of the tangled words brewing in the back of her throat, Zuko is busy securing the balloon, dragging it off to the side and neatly folding the fabric back into the basket. The deep furrow of his brow and the tense set of his jaw gives her pause. His eyes are stormy and conflicted, so Katara bites her tongue, spins on her heel, and remembers a prince clad in black and red who spits fire and only knows how to take.

    Against all odds, in the moments between now and the end, Katara falls for Zuko.

    Summary

    High Sage Kenji blesses Fire Prince Zuko with the resilience of the reed, who bends in the wind and never breaks. When he is done, Fire Prince Ozai narrows his eyes, seemingly displeased by this blessing. But Kenji does not speak for himself; he is only a vessel. 

    -

    The newly-crowned Fire Lord Ozai offers his firstborn son to service in the temple.

    This turns out to be a catastrophic mistake.

    Summary

    “Have you ever thought about getting a new face?” Ursa asked.

    Zuko’s eyes snapped to her, “What?”

    “A new face,” Ursa said, and stared into his eyes. “A new life. One free of all the responsibilities that you never asked for.”

    Zuko watched her for a moment. Then he shook his head. “I’m sorry. I would have liked to grow up with you to guide me, but I am not that child anymore. I like my life now. I can’t turn my back on it.”

    “Oh, my boy." Ursa said. "I wasn’t asking permission.”

    Summary

    Hakoda kills a Southern Raider. This backfires spectacularly. Zuko is just trying to keep four kids from dying while not being a traitor to his nation. Toph is concerned. Sokka finds himself rethinking everything he had previously considered the norm.

    Or

    Kuei orders all of the Fire Nation out of Ba Sing Se after Azula fails her coup. This has wider ramifications than he thought.

    “Stop, stop, stop!” Sokka raises his voice. “What is it supposed to be? Is this... Zuko? But… but… he has hair!”

    Sokka turns to Zuko, looking at him in disbelief.

    “And you don't have hair!”
