Summary
Sokka has been hated and abused his whole life for being a firebender, so when the Fire Nation comes to abduct him, it turns out to be a blessing. Everything changes when he meets Azula. Befriending the damaged princess, Sokka will learn that his new home is not nearly as perfect as it seems.
Meanwhile, Azula has never forgotten seeing her brother Zuko get murdered by their own father. Ever since, she has done everything she could to survive, even if she hates herself for who she's become. Befriending Sokka sets her on a new path, but will she continue to obey her father, or choose to make a stand against the war?
Everyone believes Zuko is dead. Little do they know he lives, trapped in a Fire Nation prison camp. There, he will discover the true cruelty of the war and suffer in ways he never imagined. When he finally returns to the Fire Nation palace, he will have to decide whether to enjoy happiness with the people he loves, or risk everything for a chance at stopping the hundred year war.
Sokka, Azula, and Zuko have all suffered terribly, but by finding strength in each other, they have a chance at ending the war and bringing peace to the world- if only they have the courage to try.

Summary
Zuko had scrubbed the smell of sex and blood of himself, but that didn’t stop it from clinging to the inside of his nose. Could the others smell it? Could they taste his shame in the back of their throats too?
Irrationally, Zuko wanted to crawl inside himself. Peel those watching eyes off him; don’t look at me! They knew, somehow. They could see it on him. Some kind of tell, some stain he couldn’t see or wash away.
What if they all knew? Laughing behind his back at what he’d given up just for a fraction of a chance to get his honor back.
What honor? Any scrap he’d had left after the Agni Kai was lost the moment he spread his legs for Zhao.
They could all see it, couldn’t they?
Zuko wondered if he could ever be rid of the things Zhao did to him.
Zuko deals with the aftermath.
He goes about it the same way he deals with every other shitty thing in his life: with gritted teeth, stubborn pride, and a whole lot of yelling.Series

Summary
Druk knew the moment that Zuko held his egg, that they were meant to be together in this life.
He felt the Fire Prince's inner fire inside of him, working in time with his heartbeat, already in unison with his own, despite not yet being hatched.
Zuko was his, and he would keep him safe, no matter what.Series

A Little Too Optimistic by RoseRide01

Summary
Years after the war, the four nations had begun living in harmony again. With Zuko ruling the Fire Nation, the Kyoshi Warriors at his side, the world was healing. The Fire Nation found peace within it's own borders again, now that the focus was on her people and not the conquering of others. The people of the Fire Nation were happy.
Well, most of them anyway.
Foolish optimism, Suki thought, that everyone had the same idea of harmony, healing and happiness.Series

Summary
Nearly a year after the end of the Hundred Year War, Sakari and Zuko are settling into life in the Fire Nation Palace. At least, as much as two people navigating a secret relationship while taking on extensive political duties and staving off the occasional assassination attempt can ‘settle in’. But they’re handling it.
However, when a sudden influx of attacks occurs, it becomes clear that there is a darker force rising against Zuko. Sakari is determined to put an end to it and will stop at nothing to ensure Zuko is safe, but little does she know an old foe is plotting her demise.
