Summary
Sokka sat up and brushed the grass off of himself. He blinked once he got a good glimpse of the man in front of him, he was instantly taken aback by how attractive he was. The man’s fair skin and dark hair resembled that of Izumi’s, so there was no mistaking that he was her father, but what caught Sokka’s attention the most was the man’s eyes. Sokka has never seen eyes that were pure golden in his entire life, but looking in the man's eyes was like looking in two golden drops of sunlight. Maybe the sun came out after all, Sokka heard himself think.
or
A little parent au where Sokka panics and lies to Zuko telling him that Kya and Bumi are his children. Zuko finally made his first parent friend and wants to get to know him more (just as friends of course).-

Summary
Ozai had stood against the fire, light casting a halo behind a man who pranced around as a Spirit. Thirteen-year-old Zuko had looked up to him, like mortals looked up to the heavens. He had looked up, thinking that there would be mercy. He had hoped that this was all a dream, a sick nightmare, and that Father would cradle his face and wake him up. He had prayed -
And he had burned.
Or, Ember Island brings up old memories, a boy tells a story, and the Gaang finds out about Zuko's scar.

Summary
“You know, if you ever need more canvas space for your chalk art, my driveway is always open to you,” Sokka says to Izumi, glancing at Zuko, which— wow. He had almost forgotten how gorgeous Sokka’s eyes are. That, plus he is being sweet to his daughter? Zuko quickly covers up whatever cheesy expression is certainly on his face.
Izumi’s smile widens a little bit and she nods. Zuko manages to wish Sokka a good day at work and Sokka’s gaze on him lingers for a second before he thanks him and gets in his car.
So no, he doesn’t need Iroh’s help in setting him up with anyone. Because he has spent the last few months fantasizing about Sokka, and he is not ready to give that up nor to cue Iroh in and risk any interference.
(or, Zuko and Sokka are neighbors, Izumi is a sidewalk chalk enthusiast, and Iroh and Azula love pestering Zuko about his love life)

Summary
"Shoichi," Zuko says quietly, fighting to keep his voice steady. "What happened to Izumi?"
Shoichi is milk-pale. He shuffles on the spot, then opens his mouth. Zuko watches his lips move, hears the sound of his voice, and somehow does not fall apart.
"She was taken, my Lord," Shoichi says, and—
Every torch in the palace goes out.

Summary
"Suki," he says, muffled. "Suki, tell me to stop crushing on the hot single dad at work."
Suki doesn't look up from painting her nails. "Go out and bag yourself a DILF, babe."
Zuko's insistence that it's him and his kid against the world is being seriously tested by Izumi's new teacher.
Sokka's determination to ignore hot parents is waning more and more as he gets to know the single dad of the new kid.
Everyone else is just waiting for them both to get their acts together.

Summary
Aang knew grief like an old friend. In his youth, it had been painful to grapple with the idea that the Air Nomads were gone, that he was truly alone. He knew deep down that no matter what he did, that weight on his shoulders was so heavy it would follow him into his next life. Spirits help his successor.
But this time, it was different. This was new. The emptiness that often accompanied the pit in Aang’s stomach was replaced with something sickening. His body rejected the possibility of Bumi’s death like poison. It wasn’t real. He had to be alive.
OR: When he's 19, Bumi II gets hurt in the United Forces and his family is told he is missing in action. Aang and Katara try to be there for their son and Tenzin and Kya navigate the new dynamic as friends and family rally aorund them. We explore family dynamics, being biracial, trauma, and being okay with being not okay.
(includes cloud baby flashbacks!)

Summary
“Hello there!” The kid’s head shot up, their body freezing. Big eyes staring back at him. Well, one eye actually. The other one was still pulled fairly closed, the side of their face covered in a heck of a burn scar. How does a kid get a scar like that?
“Do you live close to here? If you don’t, it looks like rain, I don’t mind giving you a ride if-“ The kid had already run off. In the opposite direction. And into the woods.
Because a strange man in a minivan had pulled up and asked where they live and offered to give them a ride, stellar work there Hakoda.
At least the kid had some survival instincts.
Zuko needs a new dad, and Hakoda volunteers. A story spanning Zuko's old life, new life, and beyond

Summary
"You're sad," Toph said bluntly.
Aang titled his head sideways, smiling even if it hurt, "Don't be silly, I'm fine - "
"No, Aang. You're not. It's okay not to be fine, you know?" she shifted slightly, frowning, "It's okay to be sad."
Or, Aang, the Western Air Temple, and grief.

Summary
“Have you decided on a name?” Uncle says one day.
He furrows his brows and takes a moment to process the question. “I shouldn’t.”
“And why not Prince Zuko?”
“Her real family should name her.” Zuko says after a few moments. “Whoever they will be.”
Uncle looks at him with something Zuko can’t decipher. “You saved her, did you not? Both her life and her future. If anyone deserves that honor nephew, it is you.”
When Zuko encounters Aang and Katara in the Ba Sing Se catacombs, he makes a vastly different choice. What they don’t realize however, is that he's not just fighting for himself anymore.

Zuko as the Blue Spirit finds a woman out on the streets late at night, in labor with no one helping her. He takes her to a healer, and in a private moment she asks to see his face. He thinks she might die, so he lifts his mask enough to show his unscarred eye. Upon seeing the gold, she asks him to promise that he’ll make sure her child finds a good home, since many will hate her. Zuko is confused, but agrees. Later Zuko visits the healer as Li, claiming to be an acquaintance, and is told the woman died after giving birth and had no family or close friends in the city. Zuko is given the child to hold, and realizes that her eyes are gold. He also can feel the spark of firebending in her. He realizes that the mother asked him for help because she thought he was also a war child.
Zuko is very conflicted because he promised to help, but doesn’t think he has anything to offer. Once Uncle gets his upper ring tea shop, and he finally has the means to help her, he picker her up from the healer’s and takes her home. He’s still conflicted and tells himself he’s just looking after her until he can find a wealthy family to take her, but doesn’t actually look for one. After several weeks he finally admits that he’s going to keep her and names her Akira. During the process of fully becoming her parent, he thinks about his scar and is horrified at the thought of doing that to her. It solidifies in his mind that Ozai was a terrible father and he wants to be nothing like him. He also doesn’t want to get back to the fire nation as long as Akira would be unsafe there.Zuko still frees Appa after seeing the flyer, unable to remain uninvolved. When Azula invades, he foolishly decides to confront her to try to drive her out and away from Akira and ends up in the catacombs with Katara. After Uncle, Aang, and Toph come rescue them, he fights with them against Azula. Uncle is still captured while helping them escape, and Aang is still shot with lightning, but they stop at Zuko’s house to grab Akira on their way out. (Akira was left with their wet nurse while Uncle went to find Zuko). Zuko had told Katara about the baby, but the others are a bit nonplussed by her presence.
When they reach Hakoda’s fleet, Akira’s presence helps soften Zuko’s welcome and make him seem more trustworthy; so he’s only greeted with mild suspicion. -

Zuko wondered if he made the right choice. What would of happened had he took up Azula's offer. He couldn't imagine doing that, not without thinking that Akira would be alone.

Zuko's and Katara's conversation in the catacombs happens a little differently, and get to talk longer.(Inspired by The Sunbeam Chronicles by ninjawrites)
