    Summary

    “The Spirits’ attention should be treated with caution.” Iroh informed him firmly. “You should do nothing to invite them, but if they have...noticed you, Nephew, you should do nothing to offend them. Treat them with respect, and treat them with suspicion. Even the kindest of Spirits may have an ulterior motive. To wear the face of a Spirit,” Uncle picked up his cup, again, with a small pause to emphasise his point, “it’s inviting trouble.”

     

    Zuko gulped.

     

     

    Or: Zuko steps foot in a shrine, a midsummer night before Aang wakes up; the events that follow will change the entire war. (It would take a lot for the Prince of Fire Nation to switch sides, but the Spirits are done waiting. Before Aang AU)

    Summary

    Zuko isn’t sent to capture the Avatar after his Agni Kai. Instead, his banishment is permanent. No exceptions. No opportunity to regain his honor. He’s unceremoniously dumped in the Earth Kingdom and left with nothing but a debilitating scar and an uncle who still claims he cares.

    An assassination attempt quickly proves that his father isn’t satisfied with just exiling him. He and Iroh decide to hide out in the remote town of Gaoling, one of the few places overlooked by the Fire Nation due to its strategic unimportance.

    Zuko’s pretty sure the Spirits hate him. Well, that’s fine. He hates them too.

    --

    In which Zuko gets a job in a tea shop, accidentally acquires some stolen swords, realizes his father was actually pretty horrible and meets a blind girl who’s too stubborn for her own good, not necessarily in that order.

    Summary

    “But you just said honor is about doing what’s right. You must have known that wasn’t right,” Sokka presses.

    There’s a long moment of silence. Then, “I knew it didn’t feel right. But I always told myself that if I knew the first thing about honor, I would still be home.”

    “I don’t understand."

    “I didn’t, either,” Zuko sighs.

     

    ~

     

    Of course Sokka has seen the scar. It’s kind of hard to miss.

    …It just hadn’t occurred to him that it meant anything.

    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

    They had spent hours and hours drilling and preparing the servers upon the importance of everything being perfect for the new fire lord. This was fine. Jin was good at her job. She could handle one fire lord.
    Expect that wasn't the fire lord. That was FUCKING LEE!

    Summary

    It doesn’t take long for the rumors to start.

    The Fire Nation prides itself on its civilization. It isn’t like the other, lesser, nations who throw their children away by sending them into war. Those uncultured and unfeeling savages who are destroying their own future faster than the Fire Nation can save them from themselves.

    Every Fire Nation child goes to school. They learn reading and writing, the illustrious history of their country, and what will be expected of them as proper, upstanding Fire Nation citizens. They are to be protected, because children are the future glory of the nation.

    The crown prince is thirteen when his father burns his face in front of an audience of hundreds.

    Summary

    Fire Prince Zuko is meditating with his eyes closed on the floor of the Western Air Temple, and no one is attacking him, or even trying to, and it’s weird. Sokka will admit that even if no one else will.

    Or,

    Sokka makes some discoveries after Zuko joins the Gaang. Perhaps the Fire Prince has more honor than anyone had realized.

    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.

    Summary

    The burns are deep. Aang frets over them as he keeps watch, the smallest flame cupped in his palms, too small to do any damage. Zuko assures him that this–this is not all that comes from fire.

    (Tries not to remember how exactly skin smells when it begins to burn, flake away.)

     

    Or: Zuko doesn't choose Azula during the Crystal Catacombs.

    Or or: His sacrifice and everything that comes after.

    Summary

    Zuko had been wandering the world Spirit cursed for years. It wasn't enough for the Spirits to refuse to let him stay dead, they were determined to make sure he kept on dying. Waking up to an already bloodied sword above him should have been no different to every other time. He never expected to stay. He wasn't prepared to care again. Yet he did and he would hold onto it as short lived as it may be.

    This is a rewrite of Perpetual by tealeyedbeing from Sho/Zuko's perspective because I'm unfairly obsessed.
