Zuko has been burned and banished, and must not return to the Fire Nation without the Avatar. However, the spirits of Fire Lord Sozin and Avatar Roku have a very different mission for him: put the trapped spirits of the Air Nomads to rest, and join the Avatar in bringing balance to the world. Is this truly his destiny, or merely a nightmare brought on by fever and infection? And if it's real, how can one teenage boy possibly succeed in such a daunting task?

Summary
He lets out his own sigh. "Ozai didn't deserve you."
He feels a dampness spread through his sash and he pulls Zuko away briefly. "Oh. I'm sorry, I wasn't thinking when I said that, I—"
Zuko shakes his head. "That’s not why I’m— ah—“ he wipes at his eyes. “We took everything from you. And I can never make it up to you. What my great-grandfather did to your people... It is my worst atrocity."

Summary
Zuko is hanging on after years of repeated Attempts on his life, he is still alive. His Uncle's frequent shipments of teas are the one constant he can rely on. They are the one thing that keeps him grounded, feeling safe in his palace and loved.
He has not seen his friends in the few years he has been on the throne. It's because he has been on the throne wrangling the serpent pit that is the Fire Nation court and global politics, that he has not seen his friends.
And now his tea tastes bitter.

Summary
Zuko realizes his destiny much earlier. As in, as soon as he wakes up in the palace after his Agni Kai and is told he is banished. Unfortunately, he's never been a patient one. So he storms right up to Ozai and tells him what he's going to do. And gets locked up for over three years. Then, one day, he's being pulled out and told he's the new Fire Lord.
A "Zuko never meets the Gaang and suddenly becomes Fire Lord after three years of literal torture" AU. In which the Gaang doesn't know what to think of the new Fire Lord who happens to be the missing nephew of Aang's firebending teacher, Iroh constantly has a headache, and, sure, maybe the world hates the Fire Nation, but the Fire Nation LOVES Zuko, and he can work with that.

Summary
Мужчина одаривает его неуверенной улыбкой.
Он молод, внезапно понимает Зуко. Не просто миниатюрный. Его ровесник, или, может быть, даже моложе.
— Сокка, — представляется он. — У меня нет кусачек. Так что, я думаю, мне придется ее размотать. Это будет полный отстой. Извини.
— ...Что?
— Колючая проволока? — говорит Сокка, снова хмуря брови. — Я не могу разрезать ее, но, думаю, смогу размотать. Она не выглядит слишком запутанной.
— Я… — голос Зуко замирает. — Ты знаешь…
— Я знаю, для чего это нужно, — рот Сокки сжат в мрачную линию. — И поверь мне, если ты начнешь разбрасываться огнем? У нас будут проблемы. Но…Что-то в выражении его лица дает трещину, и внезапно он выглядит измученным.
— Я не собираюсь просто бросать тебя в таком состоянии. Ты этого не заслуживаешь. Никто… никто этого не заслуживает.
Зуко не отвечает. Есть много людей, думает он, которые не согласились бы с этим.

Summary
The end of the 100-year war is uncharted territory. The Fire Nation has been defeated but peace seems like a far-off dream complicated by the need for reparations, rebuilding, and four nations divided by lack of trust. Ozai has fallen but his beating heart has infuriated leaders across the other nations. Trials for war crimes are common ground and, many agree, a reasonable place to start.
; or the gang tries to find peace and heal in a postwar world.
(This is me dealing with writer's block and projecting any creative energy into a brand new story I don't have time for. Apologises for slow, if any, updates! Also, I'm sorry for typos or tenses going from past to present, I do not care enough to proofread this.)
