Summary
Agni has stood by as his children have used their gifts to burn the world, consumed with despair but reluctant to interfere. When the one who is meant to act as his intermediary in the mortal realm burns his own son in a shocking act of cruelty in front of a crowd who fail to step in, that is the final straw.
The Fire Nation descends into chaos at the sudden loss of firebending, & the war becomes bloodier still, as the troops fight on out of sheer desperation, terrified that a reckoning is now due.
And then Iroh, tending his injured nephew while trying to keep him safe from a vengeful father who blames him for this calamity, realises that Zuko's inner flame still burns...

The world was at war for a decade when the Fire Nation unexpectedly agreed to a peace treaty. The only thing solidifying the treaty is the Avatar’s hand in marriage to the Crown Prince of the Fire Nation.

Summary
The moment was here. He just had to seize it.
Uncle looked back at him slightly, then looked away.
Zuko couldn’t pretend that it didn't hurt.
He gritted his teeth, scrunching his face up.
He had to do this.
He had to.
He couldn’t not.
“...Uncle…”

Summary
Zuko splits his rage between himself and Iroh. He punches and pinches his thighs (it’s best in combination) in the privacy of the guest bedroom (not his. Never his, no matter how many times Iroh tells him he’s never ever going to leave him), and at dinner, he pokes and prods at Iroh until he finds the weak spots, and then digs his nails in. Eventually, his nails will catch on the spot, and he will peel back Iroh’s layers until he finds the man buried underneath, the man who is just like his father, just like everybody is.
(Is it everybody? Is it men? Is it fathers? Zuko’s not sure, but he knows that it’s Iroh.)
One day, he finds the spot.
or; zuko moves in with iroh after his father burns him. it's an adjustment.

Summary
"His eyebrows raised as he saw four figures dash into the yard to grab various articles of clothing. His eyebrows raised even further as he glimpsed the blue clothes of two of the figures, the green of another, and finally the yellow of the last. His eyes met the boy with the singed yellow outfit as he was pulling a school uniform off the clothesline and noticed his arrows. It was easy to conclude who the boy was,"

In which Lu Ten isn't dead, and conveniently notices the avatar isn't either. Considering the world thinks both of them are dead, it's really only logical that he helps the avatar finish the war. After all, he really wants to tell his father and his cousin that he's not as dead as they think he is. -

Summary
“Zuko wakes up, eyes glowing bright white underneath the bandages and wraps.
Uncle Iroh’s cup falls from his hand and cracks into fragile shards on the floor, spilling jasmine tea over his sandled feet. Iroh does not look down, does not look away from his nephew.
When Zuko throws up over the side of his cot, Uncle is there to hold his hair back.”
Well, good news is they’ve found the Avatar.
Bad news is, this changes everything.

Summary
“Zuko, how about you tell us a story?”
“I’d rather not” he deadpanned back “I’m not the best at storytelling”
“Aw c’mon, you cant be that bad!” Sokka was staring at him with what could only be described as kicked puppy-kitten eyes. Zuko rolled his eyes even as the rest of the group began to encourage him.
(Sometime after watching the play, the gaang are sitting around the firepit telling stories. The story of Zuko’s scar comes out, and tears are spilled)

Summary
Two years ago, Prince Lu Ten was lost at sea with his entire crew, with no body recovered or confirmation of life or death, the Fire Sages urged the royal family to choose a new successor to replace him in the line. Prince Zuko and Princess Azula are both of age to take the throne, but first they must complete a series of tests to prove they are prepared for this position, as every ruler in their family had to. They accomplished every test placed before them and completed every task, until they are faced with one final mission. Given six months to complete their quest, Azula is sent to handle civil unrest in a series of islands while Zuko is tasked to find and slay a great beast that has been terrorizing people across the nations for the last four decades. Every man to take up arms against it has failed.
Tasked with this seemingly impossible mission, he sets forth to track the beast down and end its reign of terror over the people once and for all. Though as he races against time in this journey, he discovers that the burdens of such a quest had led him to a fortuitous crossroads as he wars with his heart and his duty to his people.

Summary
– and Azula’s crackling bolt of lightning steadied, became still and straight, and was a beam of blue light thrusting from the horizon to the sky. The cold voltaic shock through his nerves was the sting of cold air damp with spray from the sea, the pressure of electrical charge the weight of armour on his shoulders, the harsh blue-white glow of lightning the grey-white-blue of sea and ice and sky.
…His scalp was cold.
Zuko doesn't know why he's suddenly back here again, here on his ship amongst the icebergs, with the Avatar's light stabbing into the sky. He's not even sure this is real. But if it is, he's going to do things better this time.
Of course, things go off the rails almost immediately.

Summary
‘…H-how am I still alive?’ Zuko thinks.
Sokka flinches back. Whoaaa, how in Spirits name did Zuko project his voice like that? Sokka didn’t even see him move his lips.
As if he can hear Sokka’s thoughts, Zuko turns his head to look directly at him, eyes bewildered.
And this is where Sokka realises something is very, very wrong.
Two minutes later: “No way!” Sokka shakes his head wildly, just as prince jerkbender across him curses. “I’m soul bonded- To him?! No way! That’s just spirit mumbo-jumbo!!!”
-or, through some freak Spirit accident involving Zhao, the Avatar, and the continuous joke that is both their existence, Sokka and Zuko have been soul-bonded and mentally linked. Neither of them are particularly happy with this.

[Podfic] The Taste of Tea by Dr_Fumbles_McStupid for QueenDollopHead
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender

Summary
[ He drinks the tea and tries not to look uncomfortable as Zhao moves closer and closer. He doesn't know how, but somehow every time he blinks the man is closer. He should say something, but what? He’s not actually doing anything wrong. (He should move closer; Zuko is his prince, and he should be hanging on his every word. It was perfectly reasonable.)
If Uncle were here, objecting would earn a stern look and a proverb on the nature of politeness and being receptive to your conversation partners.
Zuko says nothing.
Zhao is next to him now. He rests a hand on Zuko's thigh.
He wants to say something, but his head feels like it’s stuffed with cotton and his tongue won't work properly. ]Wherever Zuko goes, Zhao always seems to be there, smirking & offering him tea. He doesn't want the tea-that-is-not-just-tea. But he can't explain why to his uncle, or tell him that the very thought of tea makes him want to scream (in rage, not fear, because princes don't feel fear).

Summary
“Hey Zuko,” said Sokka absentmindedly as he tossed his boomerang into the air, “How did your ship get its name anyways? I’d have imagined that your angsty ass would have named it something like The Avatar Destroyer 1000 or something.”
“Well,” answered Zuko, “I don’t know actually. I think Uncle named it.”Sokka’s boomerang did as boomerangs do and flipped back to smack him in the back of the head. Zuko bit down a chuckle.
The story of Zuko’s ship, and the time immediately after the Agni Kai—featuring a worried, caring Uncle and high treason.
A lot of high treason.
