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.

the art of redirecting lightning by TheRainbowElectric

Summary
A realization that’s been lapping at the edges of Sokka’s mind all night finally crashes over him in a wave. “You really hate yourself,” he says slowly, as the cold understanding sinks in.
Zuko’s glare could melt glaciers. “You wouldn’t, if you’d done all the things I’ve done?” he says, which would be fair, except — it’s not just about the things Zuko’s done, is it? It’s also about the things he hasn’t. Zuko hates himself for things that are his fault, and things that aren’t. For who he is, and who he hasn’t managed to be.
And Sokka can see, with sudden, sharp clarity, that if he were to plot the strength of Zuko’s self-hatred alongside the strength of his bending over time, the two lines would hug in almost perfect sync. Which leaves Sokka with only one question: whether someone’s self-loathing could run so deep and unrelenting that it sustains their bending for the better part of a decade.
The night before going in search of Sun Warrior ruins, Zuko starts to doubt that hatred is the source of his bending after all. Sokka helps him figure out what it really is.

Summary
When a child is conditioned to believe that abuse is normal, anything slightly different is a crime, an abnormality. The child learns that every action has a hidden agenda, that kindness is a ploy to get the upper hand on them. They learn that any sign of weakness is a cause for punishment. They learn that fear will be their biggest enemy and will be the culprit for their death.
Zuko was lucky to be born, his father's disappointment.
Or;
A look into Zuko's childhood and the years following his banishment.

Summary
“His body was thrown roughly onto the deck with the force of the fire blast behind him. He scrambled to get to his feet but the culprit behind the firebending was already upon him — and it was Zhao.
The commander pounced on him and tried to pin him down. “Escaping with the Avatar?!” Zhao roared. “That’s low even for a traitorous bastard like you!”
“You gave me no choice!” Zuko snarled and wriggled out from underneath him, readying himself for a fight. Zhao grabbed at him but Zuko was too fast.”
Zhao captures the Gaang and Zuko and they get thrown in prison together. Zuko has to make some tough choices…

One Who is Blinded by the Light of the Sun, Will be Lost to Wander in the Dark by Mleman1946
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender, Avatar: Legend of Korra

Summary
Life is a series of contradictions.
Of opposites.
Light and Dark.
Push and Pull.
Order and Chaos.
Who are you to take the balance, cast it aside, break it, shatter it, and banish it?
Who are you to play god?
Who are you to doom us?
Zuko fought against the Gaang when they tried to save Zuko from the blizzard in the North Pole. Finding himself lost in the tundra, Zuko fights with every breath before stumbling into a valley, hosting a massive, gnarled tree of dead roots in the center.
One month after the failed siege, from the frozen wastelands of the northern tundra, a new Avatar walks free. One who is of the dark rather than the light, of the push rather than the pull.
An Avatar of Chaos to combat that of Order.
Who are you, to take our balance and desecrate it?
A fool, one who has given the keys to their own downfall.
After all,
