Summary
Zuko knows this is as much an attempt to keep him in line as it is a means of securing an alliance. If “alliance” is really the word that can be used; his betrothed’s presence in the Fire Nation is meant to keep the Water Tribes in line.
-
In a universe where Aang is still stuck in the iceberg and Zuko is never banished, Zuko stares down the reality of what it means to be arranged to marry someone who has every reason to hate you. -

Summary
It's well known that Avatar Aang went missing 100 years ago, but when the Fire Nation goes knocking on the Southern Water Tribes door (With fireballs and death) no Avatar turns up and a woman get taken from her home. This action is the first of many that started Ozai's downfall from the throne.
Years later, Sokka and Katara are the main ones running the village-- Hakoda had left three years ago and had yet to return-- that is until Fire Lord Ozai decides he needs to find a way to keep Zuko compliant and find a backdoor into the Northern Water Tribe, and who better than a bride from their sister tribe? Katara needs to learn a new way of life being betrothed to Prince Zuko, teaching herself water bending, and keeping her family safe while in unknown territory. Sokka needs to find a way to rally together the Earth Kingdom and find his father to stop this war, and Zuko needs to figure out why some things in the palace aren't adding up, Ozai be damned.

Summary
"You're lucky.....you get to die a hero." The yuyan archer laughed dryly, bitterly, coldly amused. He wasn't expecting to hear that raspy voice as it punctuated the chaotic quiet and the unsettling stillness as they both laid there, bleeding out on the earth as if they were simply two good friends stargazing together. "Before the rest of the world sees you....become a monster."
Sokka found no comfort in those words, or in the suffocating half gasp attempt he made to try and fill his remaining semi functional lung. He was tired. Tired of fighting. Tired of struggling. Tired of the archer's shit. He wanted to just die in peace, was that too much to ask?
-------
The universe has a funny way of answering Sokka's prayers. The sweet relief of death is snatched away from him as the Spirits find a far better use for the vengeful warrior, and set him on a path of love and tragedy. He wouldn't be so pissed about it all were it not for the fact he finally found something (or someone) to live for. -

Summary
Cold wind filled his aching lungs.
Ice left his lips on every shaky breath.
Zuko's heart drummed a panicked chorus in the frigid night. The air tore at his skin, digging it's icy claws into his face as he pushed his muscles to their limits. Blood thundered, pumping relentlessly in his veins. Each footstep felt like he was racing closer to his early grave, yet he could not stop. He could not refrain from this maddening pace or else death itself will catch him.
-----------
Zuko accidentally finds his way to an otherworldly realm where myths and ancient tales come to life in the form of wintery warriors that ride across a full moon sky carrying out a great and wild hunt. Unaware that he had stumbled into their world, he is caught by these large terrifying warriors and discovers the truth behind the old stories. Unexpectedly, while trying to find his way back to his own world, he falls in love with one particular warrior who saved him from a frozen death and claimed Zuko as his own.

Summary
The man stared for a long time. The smile he bore had been completely wiped clean as he studied the scarring. Zuko’s skin itched with anxiety at the odd attention he was given and shot a scowl at the warrior, startling him out of his thoughts. The man offered an apologetic yet awkward smile as he patted his chest and started to speak. It took Zuko a moment to realize that what was being said was a very horribly butchered attempt at Fire Nation formal language. A horrendous introduction.
“My name is Sokka, son of Chief Hakoda.” He introduced with what the savage may have thought was casual ease judging by the sideways smile and the warmth in his eyes. Then proceeded to ask, pointing at Zuko to get his meaning across. “Your name is Li, right?”
‘Okay so they don’t know who I am.’ Zuko didn’t let his sigh of relief show as he nodded slowly in confirmation.
Or
Zuko slips into the scouting party that is sent on a mission to gather intel on an Earth Kingdom encampment only to be ambushed by Water Tribe warriors and taken as a prisoner of war. Zuko finds himself masquerading as Private Li, the Fire Nation scout as he receives a one way trip to the South Pole.

Summary
Whenever Prince Zuko missed his mother he snuck out of the palace to visit a field of her favourite flowers. He wasn't all that pleased to find a dirty girl had chosen it as her sleeping spot. He wondered if she was still alive and nudged her shoulder with the tip of his shoes. One moment later her face was still half asleep, but her body stood perfectly alert in the middle a circle of black flowers, he didn't notice yet. His current focus lay on the thin ice daggers pointing at him, where he lay at her feet.
