Summary
Nothing has been untouched; starvation, exploitation, and death at the hands of the Fire Nation. As the Southern Water Tribe’s benders are hunted to extinction, one is born beneath a full moon. Her first cries echo through the night: a waterbender.
The raid came fast—brutal, merciless. But Katara was spared. Hidden away in the Fire Nation palace, growing up in the shadow of her enemies. Forced to assimilate for survival, she clung to the only remnants of home, her mother’s necklace… and the light in a lonely boy’s golden eyes.
Zuko. The prince who made her laugh when nothing else could.
The Avatar returned, the war’s tides shifted, and Katara seized her chance to escape.
Joining Aang, she fights for the world’s freedom—while battling the ghosts of her past, including the boy who never wrote, the boy who stood on the wrong side when it mattered most.
He comes seeking redemption. And though she’s the only one who hasn’t forgiven him, those long-buried feelings—have never truly left her.
In the quiet moments between battles, they begin to surface again, soft and smoldering. And slowly, painfully, their hearts begin to remember what they once were… and thoughts of what they might become. -

war's rough, buddy by amateurwordbender

Summary
“Huh. Yeah, I think that’s exactly what I was trying to say. You’re pretty good at listening.”
It’s Zuko’s turn to laugh, but his version just sounds bitter. “Trust me, I’m not.”
The amount of self-loathing in those four short syllables is enough to make Sokka wince, but it doesn’t seem like his place to say anything. Zuko did do some pretty fucked up shit, after all. Maybe the self-loathing is warranted.
(after the events of The Phoenix King (S3E18), the two oldest members of the Gaang have a talk)
(and yes, Sokka learns about Zuko’s scar) -

Summary
The Avatar has returned 100 years after he vanished, and although rumors claim he's nothing more than a 12-year-old boy who only knows airbending, the Fire Nation has prioritized hunting him down.
In some parallel world, Prince Zuko would be part of that hunt, but in this one, he died at the tender age of 12 when, still recovering from the Agni Kai against his father, he was attacked and killed in his royal chamber.

Summary
Ozai had never been a loving father, not only to Zuko. He just didn’t have it in him to love. He desired power, so he respected Azula - needed her. He did not love her.
But that was exactly the difference between the two siblings, while Azula had been in the presence of indifference - a possible liking - Zuko wasn’t just subject to a lack of love. No, he faced hatred. Pure disdain.
But it was three years ago that Ozai first left a visible mark on the boy, leaving a scar for the world to see. Shaming him, hurting him and challenging him to death, at once. Publicly humiliating him in a duel meant as a display of respect between two matched opponents, rivals.
And since then, Ozai had grown in aggression, in his abuse.
That's why Zuko had to leave.
OR: In this universe, Zuko was never banished. Instead, he was subject to three more years of abuse, and it's this abuse that causes him to come to his senses, all on his own, and join the Avatar.

Summary
"Sorry for destroying the building you were in," she said off-handedly. Did she not recognize him? Couldn't she sense people's heartbeats to tell who they are? They'd fought before, so she should know it's him. Why was she being nice?
Zuko stayed silent.
"Real talkative, I see." Zuko blinked, was that supposed to be a joke?
Judging by her laugh, it was.
~~~
Or, Zuko, also known as Spirit, is the son of the Fire Lord, one of the worlds most feared villains, was supposed to be meeting at the rendezvous with his father and sister, not be buried under a collapsed building about to be kidnapped by a blind superhero, who is also a child.
