Summary
Their soulmarks should not make sense together.
A peaceful airbender with too much power, a sarcastic warrior with a sharp mind, an emotional waterbender with a savior complex, a suppressed earthbending terror with authority issues, and a confused firebender who’s 90% trauma, 10% honor.
Their soulmarks really should not make sense together.
The spirits beg to differ. And now five people – who never even should have met – are tangled together by fate, ink, and the complicated mess of becoming who they’re meant to be.
Alternatively:
Let's take a closer look at some key points in the Gaang’s journey and inspect it through a different lense. Them being soulmates doesn't really change much… until it does. -

Summary
When Zuko first joins, He wouldn't sit with them to eat. And then when he was forced, he barely ate anything. But it's okay because he has rations left over. At least that's what Zuko said, He said he had plenty but who knows how long they'll last? He gives sokka and Katara Some rations for when they eat but it's probably because he has plenty left right? wrong.
Zuko is stupid and doesn't want to say no to the Gaang so he just ends up passing out from not eating

Summary
"Just make sure not to walk on any ice!”
“I’ve learned my lesson there,” Zuko grumbles. She kicks at a snowy hill as they walk by, watching the frozen powder fly. “These boots are really impressive, by the way. I can’t feel the cold at all.”
“They’re made from the fur of tiger-seals,” Sokka tells her proudly. There is something extremely gratifying about the foreign Princess’s appreciation for their craft, Katara has to admit. “They won’t make you invincible, though. It’s important to pay attention to your body’s signals when you’re far from the village. There’s no glory in dying to the freeze.”
He sounds a lot like their father. Princess Zuko looks intrigued.

Summary
Since the end of Hundred Years War seven years ago, Fire Lord Zuko has been isolated in the Fire Palace, fending off assassinations and mending the Fire Nation and its burnt bridges, all while putting off the Fire Sages' demands that he take a wife. When Iroh finally finds him a match, he reluctantly agrees to the marriage, with the expectation of never speaking to her again and sending her off to Ember Island.
It proves to be more difficult than he expects though, when he realizes that his new wife is as stubborn as a dragon moose.

Summary
Zuko tried to avoid the portrait hallway since it always brought back unpleasant memories. There was a specific reason he was here today, though. He was minutes away from having his new portrait painted. This one would be only of him, Iroh, and Mai - since she was his girlfriend. He didn't know how he felt about that.
Or
Zuko has to pose for a family portrait, but the portrait ends up being completely different than how he imagined it. -

The Scars of Faded Flames by I_make_shit_up

Summary
Zuko doesn't know what would have happened if he'd stayed. Maybe his father would have humiliated him further maybe he would have changed his mind (unlikely), but whatever choice he would have made Zuko made it for him. A person can only take so much before they break after all and waking up alone and in pain was the final straw for the 13 year old boy. He's lucky he ended up where he did.
3 years after the Agni Kai that left him blind and deaf on the left side of his face Zuko lives as the adopted nephew of a small town's healer. The villagers have long stopped caring about the fire dancing over his finger tips since he's proved he only uses it to brew their medicine.
Lee has no desire to be dragged back into his father's war, but what can he do when he's the only firebender in the Earth Kingdom that the avatar he was once tasked with hunting down can hope to learn from? -

Summary

Excerpt:
“when this is all over, I’m tracking down whoever put that dumb ugly thing on his face, and making them a war hero!” -

Summary
Sakari loves being a part of the Northern Water Tribe, but it’s not without its faults. Namely, women not being allowed to waterbend. She finds it particularly frustrating given how vulnerable Sakari feels her little family is. With her Dad having disappeared out at war 7 years ago, it’s just been her, Gramps, and her mother, Sesi, ever since. And she loves them to bits but sometimes it terrifies her. She still remembers clear as day how it felt to almost lose them too. She’s not going to risk it. So, one night, she packs her bags and heads to Agna Qel’a disguised as a boy to learn waterbending.
When the Avatar and his friends arrive with the Fire Nation not far behind, her life takes an even bigger turn.
Or, the Mulan AU that has been stewing in my brain for literal years.

Summary
"Um, Zuko?" Aang turned around to face his friend. The Fire Lord only hummed in acknowledgment, still engrossed in his task of searching through Azula's drawers.
"If you gave something to Azula since you think she hates you, what would she have done with it?" Aang asked, carefully picking his words. That caused Zuko's attention to shift from his search to Aang. "Burn it, probably. Why?" He was staring at him with a puzzled expression.
"Then why does she have a whole box in here titled Zuzu's letters?" Aang asked, finally turning around and showing Zuko the box.
