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.
(Please note: This fic is technically unfinished/abandoned, but contains end notes with my original plans to wrap-up the fic)

Summary
Zuko realizes his destiny much earlier. As in, as soon as he wakes up in the palace after his Agni Kai and is told he is banished. Unfortunately, he's never been a patient one. So he storms right up to Ozai and tells him what he's going to do. And gets locked up for over three years. Then, one day, he's being pulled out and told he's the new Fire Lord.
A "Zuko never meets the Gaang and suddenly becomes Fire Lord after three years of literal torture" AU. In which the Gaang doesn't know what to think of the new Fire Lord who happens to be the missing nephew of Aang's firebending teacher, Iroh constantly has a headache, and, sure, maybe the world hates the Fire Nation, but the Fire Nation LOVES Zuko, and he can work with that.

Summary
Prompt: “Izuku is one of the best Support students I’ve had this year. Heck, my entire teaching career. His Quirk analyses are top-notch. And yet I can’t help but feel his talents are wasted here. I know he’s Quirkless, but he’s got the talent and the intellect to make it as a hero. And yet he doesn’t seem to be interested! True, he’ll need tons of training and more than a little support gear, but if anyone could be a Quirkless hero, he could. The Hero Course doesn’t know what it’s missing out on... Hey, Toshinori, how come you look so pale all of a sudden?”
Or: Izuku has the talent and the intellect to be the first Quirkless pro hero, and everyone at UA knows it. Unfortunately, his desire to become a hero has long since been buried thanks to the words of his childhood friend and childhood hero.Series

Summary
Dust still swirls in plumes around them, and he can still feel the shifting of debris as it settles. He sees his friends in only outlines, but their movements are clearly panicked and he still can’t really think but it scares him. His head hurts. His thoughts are like drifting clouds.
Edward wished the lightheartedness could have lasted, but it never did. He always found a way to smother it.-or-
Edward will never let somebody get hurt when it could be him instead. Roy Mustang just wants to keep the kid from killing himself before he's even a teenager.

Summary
'I don't do well in the cold, okay?'
There aren't any words to describe the all-encompassing feeling of dread that washes over him, then. Guilt sits slimy in the spaces between his molars and leaves an acrid trail down his throat, pooling heavily in the deepest pits of his stomach.
Roy Mustang stood against evil, but it seemed that it didn't protect him from being evil himself. No, it most certainly did not make him good.-or-
Roy has a bad day, so when Edward is protesting attending a mission in the north, he assumes it to be petulance. An argument ensues, Roy says things he shouldn't, and subsequently he ends up scrambling to keep Edward from freezing to death by the Drachman border.
