Summary
Ursa doesn't find out about Ozai's plan. Ozai goes through with it. Zuko is dead, Azulon is dead soon after, Ozai is Fire Lord with Ursa at his side.
Agni is not so happy to find his champion killed at age eleven.
So instead, he sends the boy off on a spirit quest to prove himself worthy of life once more.
But Raava's champion is not in contact, Oma's is too much, Shu's is in a bad position, Athe's is too, as is La's...
So, Agni sends the eleven-year-old spirit of Prince Zuko to the champion of Tui, Princess Yue, the moment that Avatar Aang reawakens. The problem? Zuko's a SPIRIT. And a child. And the only one who can see him is Yue.
Basically a "Ozai actually does kill Zuko but Agni is having none of it so when Aang returns he uses the boost in spirit magic to send Zuko's spirit to Yue. Yue takes this eleven-year-old-boy-that-only-she-can-see and decides 'yes this is my new emotional support firebender' and the two get closer and closer until the Gaang finally arrives in the Northern Water Tribe and shit hits the fan" AU. So, all-in-all, a Yue-Zuko-bonding adventure featuring confused bb! Zuko and will-kill-anyone-and-everyone-who-hurts-her-little-fire-ghost-boy! Yue

Summary
Long ago, Zuko had vowed to find the Avatar and restore his honor, to return home and earn his father's approval. Now… now he was doing just that, but not in the way he had originally intended. Now he was fighting alongside the Avatar and his friends, working to take down his father and restore honor not just to himself, but to his family and his people. He would fight alongside the Avatar against the Fire Nation until his dying breath.
But then something goes wrong. He gets captured. And the Fire Nation does not treat its prisoners kindly, especially traitors. And the commander who now has Zuko at his mercy does not like royalty, especially treasonous royalty. And now, it seems, the Fire Prince will finally pay penance for all of his wrongdoings.

Summary
During the theater production on Ember Island, Zuko finds out Jet is dead.
[“You were friends?” Katara squinted, like she was trying to imagine it but still coming out with a hazy picture.
“Sort of.”
He’d turned down being one of the Freedom Fights but he hadn’t managed to turn down Jet. Hadn’t said no when Jet had tugged him into an alleyway a few days later and they’d groped each other against the wall. Hadn’t refused a race across the rooftops to decide who got to come first that night. Hadn’t shied away when Jet found him at the teashop on break and Zuko went back on shift with dirty knees.
Thank the spirits his uncle didn’t pay attention to anything other than tea.]
