Summary
Zuko knelt before his father on the day of Ozai's coronation and said, "I am your loyal servant. I do not fear being burned."
Zuko remembers, vividly, bowing before the court, bowing before his father, and wishing he could say something else. Something like, I will honor you, or respect you, or even obey you.
He wishes there was some other way to prove loyalty, some other way to prove love.
He wishes he could have said something true, but he has always, always feared being burned.
Or
After escaping the Boiling Rock, Zuko and Hakoda have a discussion about duty, loyalty, and love.

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
His father is a monster, Zuko realizes. But by the time he's come to that epiphany, it was too late.
But maybe Zuko is a monster, too. After all, he's hunted down a mere twelve-year-old boy across the globe, nearly burned an innocent Water Tribe village in the inferno of his rage, stole an ostrich-horse from a family that had only ever shown him and Uncle kindness. Remained complicit when Azula shot the Avatar with lightning, shot fire at the waterbender when she had offered to heal the mark of his banishment.
Turned his back on Uncle.
AU: Zuko doesn't join the Gaang

Summary
When Zuko was born, he was sick. He wasn't supposed to live. Everyone said it was Zuko's fate to die. Agni disagreed. Zuko was blessed with life. He lived, much to Ozai's dismay. When Zuko is banished, he does not look for The Avatar. He doesn't believe The Avatar is still out there. Then, while Zuko and Iroh are sailing around the South Pole, they see that brilliant light in the sky. Zuko knows, this is where his life changes.
Or: Zuko, blessed by the Sun Spirit, joins the Gaang early as they're being hunted by Azula.
