Zuko tried to protect the 41st division- they died anyways. But he will protect his crew. Even if it kills him. Or the Pirates chasing them.

Nobody knows what happened to the past Avatar, it's believed that he was never reborn and the cycle's broken. But after a hundred years, my brother and I meet a firebender named Zuko, the ancient banished Fire Prince and the missing Avatar for the past century. He has some attitude issues to solve along with mastering the four elements but... I believe Zuko can save the world.

Zuko dies at the hands of his sister. Somehow, he wakes up back on his ship, one year into his hunt for the Avatar. Determined to do all he can to end this war, he starts a rebellion against his own nation. But how useful will his knowledge of the future be if he's changing history at every step?

A slightly more realistic Zuko realizes what it means when Zhao tries to have him blown up and it changes his path completely. AU and possibly OOC for some characters.

One hundred years ago, Avatar Aang froze himself into an iceberg. The cycle continued on, with access to the Avatar State obstructed. Now, with Aang's release, Avatar Zuko may be able to end the war… if he ever accepts his destiny. (Story by Indigo)

Zuko knows from Azula's own mouth that Fire Lord Azulon ordered Ozai to sacrifice his first born son in order that Ozai might redeem himself in Azulon's eyes. He in fact expects his father to kill him, but something else happens instead. (AU spinning off my one-shot To Lose or to Gain.)

After being banished from the Fire Nation with no way to return, Zuko does the best he can to survive in hostile enemy territory, which leads him to some... questionable decisions. Caught trying to steal food from a noble Earth Kingdom family, his life takes a bizarre twist when they end up hiring him instead. His job? Watch over their blind daughter, Toph. (AU)

Mid-Season-One Zuko is held ransom by Chief Hakoda. Ozai's replies to the Water Tribe's demands are A-Plus Parenting. Hakoda is… deeply concerned, for this son that isn't his, and who might be safer among enemies than with his own father.

It's over. Aang defeated Ozai, and now they have to begin repairing the world after a hundred years of war. Representing the Fire Nation in this effort, the newly-crowned Fire Lord Iroh silently wishes that his son and nephew, both dead and gone, could have had the opportunity to experience a world after the war. Is it possible for his wish to partially come true? (TWs inside)

When Aang passes away unexpectedly, Katara finds herself comforted by fellow widow Zuko. As four years go by and there's still no sign of the new Avatar, Katara and Zuko take it upon themselves to find them. Will they be able to save the new Avatar from possible danger? Could this trip be their chance to find a second chance at love? AU/Zutara/Non-Cannon

What happens when Zuko gets adopted by the Gaang? Shenanigans

What if Sokka was female? Would her reactions be different? I'm sure they would. Let's take a look. I do not own any part of the Avatar! The Last Airbender universe. (Bad summary, Decided on a title finally)

Zuko dines in a restaurant and interferes with a difficult customer.

Adjusting to the city of walls and secrets isn't easy. Neither is working his first minimum wage job. Some problems include nightmares, cursed aprons, impatient customers, and definitely-not-dancing. Drabble/ficlet series of Zuko's time at Pao's tea shop and the moments in between. Rated T for Zuko's past trauma and the shady folks of the Lower Ring.

Used to be "Another Jinko Fic", I finally changed the title :) She was certain Lee was a firebender. A sensible girl from the earth kingdom would be scared. Why didn't she run? Why didn't this change her opinion of the boy standing next to her? ... This is a fic about what could have happened if Zuko didn't manage to shake off Jin at the fire light fountain.

Instead of Zuko, it is Azula that Firelord Azulon demands sacrificed. This single change shall ripple across the fate of the world; Ozai shall not be Firelord, Azula shall question everything she ever knew, and the world shall be very different when the Avatar returns.

"Show me," he would say. He would tap his foot impatiently at any hesitation, glaring up at you. You would try too hard to avoid looking at the scar splashed across his face. Freshly banished, Zuko makes his reluctant crew show him how things work on the ship (and in life?).

Katara forgetting to apologize to Sokka is the last straw. Sokka feels guilty and Zuko helps him.

Zuko has a terrible idea. Hakoda and the Gaang just want to help.

Are you confused about human children? Do you wonder where their other four feet went? Is your human child throwing himself into random danger? Is your other human child refusing to take a shower? Fear not! In this wikihow article, I will detail everything you need to be a good bison parents. Step 1: Don't be Ozai. Just. Don't. Please.

The Order of the White Dragon is a secret society of female non-benders, its main purpose is to protect the throne of the Fire Nation. Firelord Ozai ordered Zuko to govern Ba Sing Se, his intention is to get his son killed in battle. Mai is a member of the Order, she tries to keep Zuko alive despite being ordered by Azula to kill him. No Banishment AU. MAIKO. Updates monthly!

AU. The course of the war changes drastically when Azula thaws the Avatar out of the ice prison waterbenders had kept him in for a hundred years. As Katara tries to help her brother regain his honor, Zuko commits to teaching the Avatar firebending. (eventual pairings)

Zuko and Katara both have their reasons for an arranged marriage. Love may be an idealistic expectation for their alliance, but with a little trust and more than a bit of luck, friendship might just be possible. And when you're facing down a spiraling web of conspiracies, you need all the friends you can get. Currently on hiatus.

This bit of silliness was inspired by the phrase 'trust someone as far as you can throw them'. In which Zuko associates friendship/trust/affection with literally throwing people around.

The banished prince of the Fire Nation spent the last five years searching the world for the Avatar with no success. In a last ditch effort to find the hidden Southern Water Tribe village, Zuko stumbled into the den of wolves. Now the threads of destiny tie together the prince of fire and the Avatar. Will Zuko choose the path of the wolves or will Ozai succeed in world domination?

It was a mission of revenge. There weren't supposed to be any survivors, but Chief Hakoda couldn't bring himself to kill the Fire Nation boy. Against his better judgment, he brought him home. A Zuko joins the Water Tribe story.

A rainstorm separates Katara from her friends and when she takes shelter in a nearby barn, she finds Zuko already inside. Zutara Week 2020: Day 3

Or ten things that Toph didn't understand about Zuko and one that explained them all. In the same world as The Blind Leading the Blind (Might be Better than This)

For years Zuko has struggled to learn firebending. The sages are convinced that he has the potential if only he tried hard enough to reach it. With his father's patience running out, Zuko discovers the reason behind his struggles may be more dangerous than he could have ever imagined. After all, secrets never stay secret for long. Airbender!Zuko AU

"Aang, I'm sorry. Believe me, I love you but not in that way. You're my best friend and I know it may not be the place in my heart you wanted to hold, but you will forever be one of the most important people in my life." Aang said nothing. The silence went on for a while, so long that Katara feared Aang would never speak. "Katara, is it because of him?" Aang asked, voice low.

Almost a decade after the hundred year war was finally won, Katara begins to put herself first. With her relationship with Aang behind her, her future seems more uncertain than ever, especially now they all find themselves at the fire nation for the foreseeable future. (Slowburn Zutara will they, won't they?) Please review, comment, message me, stay in touch!

As much as she hated him for keeping her trapped and locked away from the world, she still loved her father, and she will bring honor to her family's name, no matter what the cost. He lost his honor and if she thinks it's easy to find, he'll show her what it takes to be a real man with honor. Mulan!Toph x Zuko. Toko and other ships (minor).

Toph does not need anyone, certainly not the whiny Avatar or his bossy friend. Thank you very much, she's totally fine on her own. Zuko is sick of the Earth Kingdom and he just wants to go home. He really shouldn't stop when he witnesses some thugs threatening another stray kid, but he does. The chance encounter changes everything. S2 AU - crossposted from ao3

Azula is bored. Zuko is 'on holiday'. She decides to join him. (This is a wonderful idea for Azula, and a terrible idea for everyone else.) One-Shot series.

Katara stops by the Jasmine Dragon for some tea, not realizing who it is owned by. She uses it as an opportunity to interrogate the 'enemy', who ends up becoming her friends.

Based on balrogedemorgothe's story "Sir, This is My Emotional Support Turtleduck" Azula and Zuko do agree that they have to name their Emotional Support Turtleduck but they cannot find a fitting one until they get a little hint.

A stressed out Zuko gets an Emotional Support Turtleduck, which he end up sharing with Azula. The Council learns to live with it.

Where Zuko is female. This is her first meeting with the Avatar. That is it. That is the summary. Or, Zuko is female, this doesn't really change anything except that Aang decides if he ever needed someone on his team in a shouting competition he would pick her first.

Water Floating White Lotus, a former fire nation ship that was converted into a traveling tea shop. The shop is led by the rumored the Dragon of the West, (No knows if this is true or not… yet) and his nephew who wishes to forget the ever lasting war. Well, until a certain someone decided he'd be the perfect fire bending instructor. Au inspired by captainkirkk on Tumblr!

When joining the Gaang, Zuko thought he would be allying with a group of battle weary kids, not this. OR In which Zuko becomes the unofficial big brother of the group and shares custody with Katara.

What would the Avatar Universe have been like if the main characters' genders had been reversed? How would this have changed the characters we all know and love? "I'm Aann, and this Appa, my flying bison." "I'm Saka, and this is Katar, my flying brother." "That's why I will train you, Lady Zuka," Iroh announced. "Alright. We'll join you," she agreed. Part 2 coming soon!

During the first few weeks of Zuko's banishment, Iroh pens a letter...which he never sends. Within said letter, he blames himself and Ozai for a variety of mistakes. And Iroh's biggest mistake? Doing nothing. Watching. Waiting. And he promises to never betray his beloved nephew again. Never again. [Oneshot]

Zuko is Fire Lord and Sokka is a returning guest to the Fire Nation Palace. When someone from Zuko's past shows up bearing grave news, Azula is their only lead. Together with Suki, the four of them set out on an adventure to save an egg (and maybe the world). Sokka and Zuko are best buddies, the Fire Siblings bring the drama. Druk is a lil' hothead.

When Azulon said Ozai should sacrifice his son he did not mean for Zuko to be killed.

Book 1. In which rescuing the Avatar from Pohuai Stronghold doesn't end so well. It's a tough life being a banished prince trying to get home, especially when the Avatar just wants to be your friend and keeps making everything confusing. Oh, and did Zuko mention he somehow healed the kid? Yeah, that happened.

As Zuko joins the Gaang, a new element is added to the mix. Everyone is affected differently, and it takes a while to smooth things out. Little canon-compliant moments set after The Western Air Temple to explore the changes in the group dynamics, from initial unease to friendship. It also explores how the different elements complement and affect each other.

Zuko finds his home on the open seas. (AU. Ozai never told Zuko to find the avatar and he spends his days at sea with Iroh and his crew)

Iroh II, a private in the United Forces, falls overboard, and is hauled up in the past, face to face with the banished Prince Zuko and his own namesake. The Crown Fire Prince struggles to get back to his own time, to find his family in these strangers, and to understand his history.

Set on Ember Island, several weeks away from the comet. The Gaang has a plan to win this war, but how will they work around a tragedy involving the Gaang's ability to bend? Zutara! Finally completed. Reviews always warmly welcomed :)

It was the kind of thing that happened in folktales: a cursed prince, a transformation that could not be broken. Except those princes usually became monstrous-looking creatures who needed true love's kiss to return to normal. They did not get stuck as a six-year-old boy depending on a bald runt and two Water Tribe siblings.

A different take on the Avatar: the Last Airbender story. During the 100 Year War, the Southern Water Tribe rises to power and Katara becomes Princess of the Water Empire, daughter of the cruel Emperor Hakoda. Prince Zuko, son of Fire Lord Ozai must infiltrate the Water Empire to help save the world from its corrupt rule. But things don't always go as planned. (Zutara)

When Azula bumps into Zuko for the first time in six years, it's in a prosperous teashop in Ba Sing Se. It's a bit disorienting because he's supposed to be dead. AU, oneshot.

Set after 'The Tales of Ba Sing Se': Zuko can't stop thinking about his date with Jin. The only problem is he has absolutely no idea how to deal with girls and dating with only his hopeless romantic of an uncle to guide him. Meanwhile, Jin is unsure about how to proceed, thinking that 'Lee' must be hung up on some other girl from before he came to the city as a refugee. ZukoxJin.

After Avatar Aang managed to break apart the Fire Nation invasion using the help from the Ocean spirit, Zuko and Uncle Iroh floated along side the remains of the once proud Navy force for three weeks. All is not well. Alternate Summary: Zuko gets a lot of hugs. The poor kid needs all those hugs

During his walk around Ba Sing Se Sokka spots Zuka, princess of the Fire Nation. Now what should he do? Run home and tell the others, or kiss her? Wait! KISS her? Where did that thought come from? Fem!Zuko Zukka Sokka/Zuko.

Piandao has a long history with the royal line - one of blood, and trust, and betrayal. And just when he believes he has been left in peace, along comes Princess Ursa, asking lessons for her son and bearing a Pai Sho tile...

In order to fully understand a man, you must first walk a mile in his shoes. Sokka and Zuko are going to find that out the hard way.

AU. Lu Ten survived the Siege of Ba Sing Se, and the Earth Kingdom fell. Iroh rules the Fire Nation, but his reign does not go unquestioned. Meanwhile, a new Avatar is found in the South... and Princess Azula's idea of a prank changes everything. Zutara.

Sequel to "Trusting the Enemy"; Zuko was right when he said that the Old Slaughterers weren't fit for being allies with Aang. Nobody could have foreseen what was about to happen, though. DISCONTINUED.

Katara has developed a new hobby. At the Western Air Temple she takes to stalking Zuko. Much silliness and shenanigans follow. In chapter 20: Katara and Zuko return home to the others. Katara hates the F word and she comes to a decision regarding Zuko.
