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

Summary
AU where Zuko realises early into his banishment that Ozai is an abusive bastard who sent him on a wild goose chase. Iroh turns their decommissioned warship into a floating tea shop, and Zuko settles down as a tea server onboard the Jasmine Dragon.
And then, years later, the Avatar emerges from the iceberg.
And then Aang decides that he wants Zuko, the first good firebender he’s met this century, to be his firebending teacher - even though Zuko wants nothing to do with him.
Based on this tumblr post.

Post-Canon Fire Lord Zuko (and his staff) by RejectsCanon
Fandom Avatar: The Last Airbender, Avatar: The Last Airbender (Cartoon 2005)
29 Aug 2024
Summary
A few people have asked if I would make a series for my Fire Lord Zuko fics so they’re easier to read, so here we are! The fics aren’t linear, or necessarily connected (though I do recycle original characters, and occasionally reference an event mentioned in another fic) but you don’t need to read all of them in order to understand one of them, so you’re free to read whichever ones you want. Enjoy!!

Bookmarker's Notes
I think this was one of the first BHNA fics I read that really got me into the series a few years ago. The characterization and plot is the beautifully written and everything flows so well together to make a very satisfying ending. I will definitely be back to reread.

Summary
Sam rescues Tommy from the prison, and no one knows he's died. Everything is too loud, too bright, too much. He is bombarded with sensory information, struggling to process it after the nothingness of the Afterlife. It take him three days to leave his house. He's been gone for two weeks, and he hopes that someone has noticed, but on a trip to the hotel he halts as he sees another hotel beside it. And there in the doorway, with matching rings on their fingers and laughing without a care in the world, are Ranboo and Tubbo.
Tommy's been forgotten.
But over the next few weeks, Niki and Jack seek him out. Sometimes individually, sometimes together, but Tommy is always delighted to see them no matter what they do. Who cares about the murder attempts? They're seeking him out! They want to spend time with him, clearly. Tommy misses them; they were friends before New L'Manberg, and he's happy to have them back as friends again.
Or,
I really love guilty villains lol and so Tommy befriends Jack and Niki even as they continually try and kill him until they start questioning their choices. (And Tommy knows about it but what's a little pain when he gets friends in exchange?)

Summary
The royal family of Antarctic empire isn’t exactly close.
Emperor Philza is always occupied; Tommy hasn’t seen Techno in months, and even if Wilbur is here, their relationship can be described to be strained at best.
The royal family doesn’t need to be close, however, it only needs to be balanced, like the pillars holding the country above their heads – as long as they are strong and steady, the Empire will be too. It’s the principle that held Tommy’s back straight and his shoulders broad through the years of hardships and trials of errors; through yet another formal meeting where his father’s gaze would look past him and where his brother’s words would be filled with poison that makes the deepest parts of his soul ache.
At that time, Tommy couldn't know that his family would find a replacement for him in the face of a commoner boy named Ranboo.
~🦋~
Tommy's family has replaced him. It's only fair that he gets to do the same.
