Summary
“Sokka,” Fire Lord Zuko speaks up. “Are you done talking to them? Because if so-”
“Let's say I'm done, but we'll still have to talk,” says Older Sokka. “We have a problem. More precisely, five problems. These are not members of the New Ozai Society, trying to kill you by disguising themselves as us. It's us. From the past.”
“Hey!” objects loudly younger Sokka. “What are you doing, future me?”
Or: on their way to the North Pole, Aang, Katara and Sokka are ambushed by Zuko and his uncle. Somehow, this leads to them visiting the future.

All hail Fire Lord Zuko, trained assassin and winner of the political coup to take control of the Fire Nation.

Summary
"We're going to be alcoholics by the time we're thirty," Sokka sighed.
"You think we'll live to be thirty?" Zuko asked, honestly thrilled. Sokka had pretty good instincts. Perhaps Zuko should reevaluate his long term goals. He could start by having long term goals.
A more likely alternative was that Sokka was just a hopeless optimist. It just went to show, you never truly saw another man until you stood shoulder to shoulder against a fleet of war balloons intent on raining death upon the city you loved.
Zuko was just a normal guy with normal interests. He liked theatre, burglary, crotchety ostrich horses, watching the Blind Bandit crush her opponents in a glorious display of skill and violence... just your standard banished prince things. It wasn't his fault he kept stumbling into rebellions and uncovering long-buried secrets. Fine, maybe freeing the prisoners was on him, but he was completely innocent of all other treason. Zuko was his father's loyal son. He'd never betray his nation.
Or:
Uncle Iroh took a more creative approach to fostering Zuko's appreciation of other cultures. Now it's everyone's Problem.- Language:

Summary
“Blessed Spirit, we thank you for the gift of this child’s life. We are forever in your debt.” The whole village is kneeling now, even the tiniest toddlers flopped down on their stomachs doing their best approximation of a bow. “Please, won’t you give us a name to call you? We would like to properly express our gratitude.”
Oh.
Well shit.
(Where Zuko saves a little Earth Kingdom girl from drowning, the villagers think he's a Spirit, build him a shrine, and long story short, a fake story about the Blue Spirit who dances with dragons suddenly becomes very real.)

Summary
[“Here.” The boy holds out a cigarette for him. “You look like you need it.”
Sokka takes it with a grateful smile and is just about to get his lighter when the boy holds out his finger with a small flame flickering above it.
“Oh.” He brings the tip of his cigarette above the flame to light it. “Thanks.”
“No problem.” The boy jerks his head back towards the porch, a clear invitation for Sokka to join him, then he turns around and walks back to the bench. Sokka follows him without a word.]
OR
Sokka’s life slips into meaninglessness after Yue’s death. Nothing seems fun or exciting anymore, he mostly just allows himself to be dragged along with whatever his friends want to do in a desperate attempt to find something to hold onto, though it’s all mostly futile.
Then he meets Zuko, who’s moved into Yue’s old place. Zuko, who’s interesting and strange and kind. Who doesn’t judge Sokka even when he probably should. Who maybe gets it in a way no one else around him does.Bookmarked by every_day_im_shuffling_papers

Summary
The first time that Sokka sees his childhood nemesis after ten years of blissful separation, he makes out with him in front of his homophobic family. Zuko's proposal- that they fake a relationship for a summer of public events on Sokka's home island to mess with his father and grandfather- is absolutely ludicrous, and it definitely won't work. Not only is Sokka straight, but he and Zuko have hated each other for as long as he can remember.
Then Sokka realizes he can use it to his own advantage as well. It's just for the summer, right?
Zukka fake dating modern AU with a heavy sprinkle of trauma and healing!

Summary
On the day before Ba Sing Se falls, Katara decides two things: 1) not to stop for a cup of tea; 2) consequently, the fate of the world.
Behind the walls, Zuko loses sleep, runs errands, contemplates treason, and drinks a lot of hot leaf juice—not necessarily in that order.

Summary
The bath takes care of the sweat. Takes care of the burnt bits of skin and fat that still cling to his palm. Zuko scrubs his body until it’s raw, blushing red; he dunks his head under the hot water and stays there, staring up at the dark, vaulted ceiling of the washroom until his lungs run out of breath to use.
The oil of honeysuckle and opium and cinnamon, sweet and sharp and earthy, does not wash the stench of scorched flesh out of his nose.Zuko falls asleep on the evening of his official coronation, when he’s twenty-one-years old and has finally reached his majority. Zuko wakes on the morning of the Agni Kai with his father, eight years earlier.
This is annoying for several reasons, like the fact that the War is still ongoing, that he has zero friends, and that Ozai is not in jail.
It’s time to scheme.Series

Summary
The burns are deep. Aang frets over them as he keeps watch, the smallest flame cupped in his palms, too small to do any damage. Zuko assures him that this–this is not all that comes from fire.
(Tries not to remember how exactly skin smells when it begins to burn, flake away.)
Or: Zuko doesn't choose Azula during the Crystal Catacombs.
Or or: His sacrifice and everything that comes after.

Summary
“…How?” Jayce asks brusquely at last, putting all of his weariness and resentment in one single word, and both the question and the tone give Viktor a moment of pause.
“...What do you mean?” inquires Viktor casually, in the same airy inflection he has used so far, but Jayce has already spotted the familiar spark of intrigue in his eyes, a fundamental part of his humanity that Viktor still hasn’t managed to put aside.
“You want us to be partners again, yet you’re the one that walked away first.” bites back Jayce harshly, instinctively using the hurt hidden in his heart like a sharp blade, and a brief flare of satisfaction warms him up when he sees Viktor’s eyes widen slightly, an unexpected sign of weakness that Jayce latches on like a hook on supple flesh. “If you want us to do this, then we have to be equals. I have my reservations on your plans for the future, and I want you to consider them.”
(Inside the Council's chamber, Jayce decides to take a chance on Viktor. It doesn't change everything, but just enough to save them both.)

The boy looks up with hazel eyes. There is a look in his eyes that only a son could have for his mother. A desire to make her proud. “My name is Jayce of the House Talis. My father is Edmund Talis. I’ve come to claim my birthright as heir to my House.”
And through his stumbling words, his mother thinks- yes. You will make me proud.
(Or: Jayce and Ximena Talis never make it out of the snowstorm together. Jayce and Viktor meet, decades before they should, as two children of Zaun. This changes everything.)
