Summary
The water tribe siblings stand tall besides him, a stern look on their faces. They're dressed in black, no indication of their roots other than the small beads adorning their hair and the tan color of their skin.
“You're the Fire Prince, right?”.
His body clenches at the title. “Zuko”, he offers. “There's no fire prince”.
The girl’s face stiffens, but when the boy -Sokka, a memory from years ago resurfaces- speaks, his voice is softer. “Zuko”, he repeats the name, and it makes Zuko's fingers numbly tingle. He tells himself it's from the cold.
-Or, The Fire Nation loses the war before the Avatar’s return. Aang cannot restore balance without starting another one. Ergo, a blazing revolution.

agni has (not) abandoned him [rewrite] by iliwaren

Summary
He survived two-and-a-half years as General Fong’s training dummy, months as Zhao’s prisoner, and weeks as a captive aboard the Chief of the Southern Water Tribe’s ship, all the while refusing to let his father’s cold, firelit eyes be the last he saw of the man. There was no way these children would keep him from going home.
"Yes," Zuko lied. 'I’ll help you defeat my father."
Or: After three years of imprisonment, Zuko escapes, just in time to arrive at the climax of the Invasion of Ba Sing Se. From there, he travels with the Avatar's team - first as a political prisoner and then, maybe (and indignantly), as Aang's firebending teacher.
(Zuko wonders why Agni let him suffer in the cold for so many years only to make him the Avatar's mentor. Destiny is a cruel, complicated thing. It takes him a while to figure out his.)

Summary
As soon as Zuko heard the clang, his heart froze.
He had dropped the wrench.
The guards escorting him to the cooler paused. "What's this?" one of them asked in a condescending tone. "It looks like a wrench," the other responded, a smirk spreading across his face as he picked it up and weighed it in his palm.
"Planning to fix the cooler while you're in there?" the first guard sneered, holding open the heavy door.
Zuko didn't answer. He couldn't. His pulse was roaring in his ears, his heart pounding. Anything he said now could and would be used against him. "Search him, maybe he has more."Or

Summary
King Kuei reclaimed his kingdom from the hands of the Dai Li and is trying his hardest to take everything back under control.
But then, he discovers that he has a supposedly dead Prince Zuko in his custody. The Dai Li had kidnapped the eleven-year-old prince shortly after the Siege of Ba Sing Se has fallen. They attempted to ransom him back, but the newly crowned Fire Lord Ozai showed no interest. The child has been locked away within the Dai Li’s walls ever since.
Kuei is NOT okay with this.
He needs to scream. He will do that. But first he needs to get the boy out of that nightmare.--
Prisoner Zuko angst and Kuei (who I guess is ooc because he's no clueless and dumb) protective feels. -

Summary
“If you won’t accept me as a friend, maybe you’ll take me as a prisoner.” He held out his hands, ready to feel stone or metal closing around his wrists any second. He couldn’t bring himself to look any of them in the face, staring instead at the ground in front of him.
He didn’t see the water whip until it hit his face. “No, we won’t!”
Zuko fell backwards onto the stone floor. Before he had time to think about the hostile reaction and what to do next, he heard another voice, one he recognized in the back of his mind as the Water Tribe boy’s, say “Wait.”AU where the Gaang takes Zuko up on his offer to become their prisoner at the Western Air Temple.

Summary
Zuko formed a bond with an Earth Kingdom Colonel and trusted him enough to turn himself into their custody without putting up a fight. The deal he's offered is a lenient form of imprisonment with more freedom than he'd hoped for. But his only ally is sent on a mission and Zuko has to navigate the new, hostile reality on his own.
Or…
a) Zuko the Ultimate Prisoner… A product of my unhealthy liking for prisoner trope, all rules and power imbalance that comes with that. There’s a father figure that Zuko deserves and *fanfare* a cousin figure that Zuko also deserves.
b) It’s basically a spinoff of a part of my main fic in which the gaang hadn’t appeared in the town and Zuko went with HuongCAN WORK AS A SEPARATE STORY, so don't worry <3

Summary
An Alternate Universe where after the Agni Kai, Ozai has Zuko thrown into a dark cell, deep beneath the palace so Zuko can no longer be a disappointment to the Royal Family. The reason that Ozai cannot just get rid of Zuko is because Zuko and Mai were betrothed under a blessing of Agni. To have Zuko killed before the betrothal is completed by marriage would anger Agni. So Ozai waits and plots. He plans to make the ceremony as humiliating as possible for Zuko
Azula informs Mai that Ozai has decreed that Mai and Zuko's betrothal will be concluded. By Mai and Zuko marrying. This is a complete shock to Mai, Zuko has not been seen or heard from in over three years, ever since the fateful Agni Kai. Confused but knowing the risks of refusing, Mai is escorted by Azula and her mother to purchase a wedding dress.
Meanwhile, in a dark cell underneath the Palace, two guards have just finished giving Prince Zuko a beating on Firelord Ozai's orders. Now under orders, they move Zuko from the cell and unbeknownst to Zuko, take him to get ready for the wedding.
I like Mai and Zuko as a couple and I have wanted to try writing something about them for a while. Zuko is 17 in this and Mai is 16, FYI.

UNFINISHED AND ABANDONED
I'm stopping this in favor of another Zukka fic I'm in the midst of planning. After I get at least fifty thousand words written I'll start posting chapters for it. Thanks! See ya laterSeries
