Summary
"Are you..." Zuko rasps out and the man instantly snaps his mouth shut - finally stopping his hysteric rambling with it. He must be surprised that Zuko is coherent enough to say anything at all and he leans forward to fully capture the rest of Zuko's slurred words. "... trying to hit on me while I'm bleeding out on your carpet?"
The man gives him a bewildered look. "... I have hardwood floors. That's a towel."
___Or: Zuko tries to find ways to deal with his fucked up life - like knitting, smoking, being an asshole in general, moonlighting as a vigilante - you know, regular stuff - he just never accounted for meeting Sokka.

Summary
The pain of the lightning scar kept him up at night.
Zuko lay in his bed, unable to go back to sleep. He has had yet another nightmare about Azula hitting him with lighting. And whenever his dream self got hurt, his physical body recoiled as if he had gotten hit again. He could feel the scarred tissue pulsing from pain.
The pain wasn't the only thing keeping him up.
It was what came with it. The memories. The look on Azula's face as she struck him. How delighted she was. Like turning on him was the obvious choice.Or
Zuko can't sleep at night and thinks about his relationship with Azula and how he wishes it could have been different. Zuko realizes Azula had really messed up Zuko's perception of sibling relationships.Or
Zuko hears Sokka refuse to do something Katara asked and thinks she'll react the same way as AzulaSeries

Summary
Besides the inflamed scar, this guy looked strangely… gorgeous. His lighter skin glowed almost etherealy in the Artic sun, and his golden eyes were pools of honey that Sokka found himself drowning in. It was so confusing, Sokka envisioned the banished Fire Nation prince to be a tall, old soldier with greying hair and a mildly xenophobic attitude. This guy and his little pointy metal boots completely stamped that vision out.
If only he wasn’t Fire Nation...Zuko took off his helmet -- he was already half-blind in one eye and the armor was doing everything but helping his vision. He then met eyes that redefined the color blue. Who was this boy standing in front of him with elaborate war paint and the sharpest jawline he had ever seen on a person his age? Who did this sun-kissed-skin, ocean-eyed, spiky-wolftailed vision of a man think he was?
If only he wasn’t water tribe...--
This is a rewrite of my fic "If Only." I'm finally getting around to it!

Summary
Eight hundred years ago, the beloved Crown Prince of the Air Kingdom became one of the few humans in history to ever master all four elements. After managing to save a small village from a powerful dark spirit, Aang eventually ascended to godhood at the age of 18. However, the prince’s good luck eventually ran out, and despite his power and reputation, he could not prevent his kingdom from eventually falling to ruin at the hands of the Fire Kingdom.
Now the only surviving member of his once-great kingdom, Aang is considered an outcast and laughingstock amongst the heavens for being the only god to have ever ascended to—and been banished from—the heavens twice. Despite having spent the last eight hundred years wandering the mortal world alone and powerless, Aang has still done his best to continue helping anyone who needs it for no payment in return.
When the former Crown Prince suddenly ascends for a third time, word spreads like wildfire throughout the three realms. In the Spirit Realm, the news reaches the ears of a powerful being—The Blue Spirit—who has long searched for the fallen god and will do whatever it takes to find him.

It was just one word.
“Father…” the rest of Izumi's sentence faded out of existence as a painful buzzing filled Zuko's head. she stopped talking and stared at him, concerned. “Are you okay?”
It was just one word, and it wasn’t like he hadn’t heard it a thousand times in a thousand different scenarios, but when she said it in that moment, her voice, it reminded him…

Summary
Watching Zuko sleep, Sokka was reminded of that one time at the North Pole, when the others insisted on bringing Zuko with them so that he didn't freeze to death. He was jus as helpless and vulnerable... only now, Zuko was much more than just the guy who kept trying to kill them. Ever since he joined their team, he’d done so much for them; he’d proved multiple times that he was not the same person anymore.
So now, Sokka did not at all feel uncomfortable in his presence. And he was really glad they hadn’t let him freeze to death.
——The night after the fight with Azula is definitely not easy for Zuko; not just because of the damage that the lightning did to him, but mostly due to the really dark memories that keep coming back and are now scarier than before. Thankfully, Zuko is not alone on that difficult night.

Summary
Zuko has never been so alone.
Injured, malnourished, and hated by those he just saved, he is forced to address his wounds - both physical and emotional - with no one, not even Uncle, around to distract him from the pain or the memories that keep coming in torrents. And long after the village is out of sight, Zuko can still feel their eyes on him. Their eyes... and his mother's.

Day 1: Tradition
“'I just don’t understand,' he sighed, and Katara turned sharply, “Why force a child out into the world like that?”
Katara’s eyes flashed, and at first, he thought he’d made her angry, but after a second, there shone in them a glimmer of understanding,"
______________________________________________
Katara and Zuko have a discussion about tradition, and Zuko doesn't realize just how traumatized he is. -
