Summary
Firebenders’ skin doesn’t burn easily. Fire Lord Ozai knows this.
When Crown Prince Zuko kneels before him with tears streaming down his face, the Fire Lord understands that it will take a considerable amount of effort to brand him.
It would be shameful for a crown prince to bear the mark of a coward, after all. A banished prince, on the other hand...
Well, if he survives long enough for it to scar, that is. Ozai is indifferent to either outcome.
// UPDATE MARCH 2023: i will have a new chapter out eventually!! this fic is not abandoned!!! <3

Through a Dragon's Eye by WaluigiOfficial
Fandom: Avatar: The Last Airbender (Cartoon 2005)
17 Dec 2024
Summary
What does it mean to be the heir to a throne bathed in the blood and ash of the rest of the world? What does it mean, especially when you know you aren't capable? Zuko knows he isn't good like the rest of them. They are good naturally, seeing evil and knowing it's wrong. Zuko, on the other hand, has struggled with that for so long, that taking a throne? Ruling? Especially over a Nation of War Criminals. He'd really rather not.
But he doesn't really have a choice, does he? His destiny is set in stone.
That is...if he allows it to be so.

Summary
Council meetings were always the hardest to sit through.
And Sokka tried-- he tried so hard to help and be the best he could for Zuko, for the council, but no matter what he did, they would never respect him.
Or, Sokka has Tourette's and some of the other councillors think Sokka is getting special treatment since he's the Fire Lord's boyfriend. He overhears a (rather rude) conversation about himself and feels dejected, useless, and defeated.
Suki and Zuko refuse to let him believe that, though.

Summary
But he bit his tongue; he knew better, although he and Sokka had been together for five years, it was still too dangerous for both of them to be themselves in the Fire Nation until he was able to get the law overturned.

Summary
Zuko and the Gaang take a quick trip to town to gather the supplies they desperately need. Get in, shop, get out. Easy right? Except, of course, if you're really bad at laying low - or at not showing people your super secret air-bending tattoos.
Great. It seems like this time it's Zuko's turn to carry the braincell, and prevent Aang from being taken to the Fire Nation's newest cult leader.Alternatively:

Summary
“Sokka…” She sighs. “What do you remember?”
He shrugs nonchalantly. “Some assholes attacked us and I took an arrow to the shoulder. Zuko hid us out in a cave. I assume at some point we were rescued. That or I’m dead and this is a not very interesting version of the spirit realm.”
Katara smooths his hair back like mom used to, and he’s struck suddenly by how grown up she is. They’ve both become adults since their world-saving adventures with the avatar, but it’s easy to forget that his little sister isn’t so little anymore.
“You were bleeding out, and we weren’t expecting you back for a while, so… Zuko used firebending to cauterize the wound. It saved your life, but he’s not taking it well.” She looks away from him and Sokka is silently grateful. He doesn’t want her to see the blood drain from his face at her words.

Or what happens when Zuko is forced to use his bending in the one way he swore he never would.

We Wouldn’t Dare Surrender by them_fatale_11

Summary
Six months have passed since Zuko’s coronation, and he and Katara are both hard at work charting the course for a new, tenuous era of peace. The pressure on Zuko, the new young Fire Lord, and Katara, a Waterbender in the heart of the Fire Nation, is incredible. The Hundred Years’ War casts long shadows, old friends and old enemies are at the door, and Zuko and Katara have to rediscover who they are -and what they mean to each other- in their new reality.
OR
a post-canon romp where both our babes have PTSD and we’re gonna have a lot of feelings about that.

Summary
Crown Prince Zuko discovers his bending when he is five and his sister is three, and she’s the first person he tells, juggling a flame while she admires its beauty. When he shows the rest of his family, his mother’s chopsticks clatter to the table, and when Zuko looks to his father, his eyes are wide with shock.
His grandfather speaks first, the head of the table, and approval runs thick through his tone: “Well, look at that. A true prodigy, wouldn’t you agree, Ozai?”
“Indeed,” he hums.
//
(Princess Azula won’t summon her first flame—a guttering, timid thing—until she’s seven.)
//
Or, in a world where Zuko is the prodigy and Azula is the one banished, destiny shifts accordingly.
