agni has (not) abandoned him [rewrite] by iliwaren
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender (Cartoon 2005)
10 Sep 2025

Summary
He survived two-and-a-half years as General Fong’s training dummy, months as Zhao’s prisoner, and weeks as a captive aboard the Chief of the Southern Water Tribe’s ship, all the while refusing to let his father’s cold, firelit eyes be the last he saw of the man. There was no way these children would keep him from going home.
"Yes," Zuko lied. 'I’ll help you defeat my father."
Or: After three years of imprisonment, Zuko escapes, just in time to arrive at the climax of the Invasion of Ba Sing Se. From there, he travels with the Avatar's team - first as a political prisoner and then, maybe (and indignantly), as Aang's firebending teacher.
(Zuko wonders why Agni let him suffer in the cold for so many years only to make him the Avatar's mentor. Destiny is a cruel, complicated thing. It takes him a while to figure out his.)

Summary
Zuko was lucky to be born. Azula wasn't.
Or,
For as long as he could remember, Zuko was the only child. And yet there she is, his stillborn sister, sharing his body, bending his fire with a skill he could never dream of, and refusing to be ignored. The court whispers. Father insists there can only be one. But Zuko isn't even sure it's a battle he wants to fight.____________
Or,
What if Azula was born dead, but spirit shenanigans happened, and with time it becomes apparent that she and Zuko are sharing his body. If it's even really spirit shenanigans and not just Zuko going crazy, that is. -

Summary
Sokka is a practical kind of guy. Reasonable. Science-minded. A connoisseur of facts. This makes traveling with the Avatar and his prodigy baby sister on a quest to save the world one wacky adventure at a time... a little stressful. He could do with a day off. But hey, they're his family now, and he's prepared to go through whatever he has to to keep them safe. He's less prepared to be saddled with the care of his worst enemy. Even if the kid is more quiet and adorably determined than scary when he stops being angry. Even if he's careful with his bending around them and sounds desperately sad whimpering in his sleep. Even if he only knows who they are sometimes, and the rest of the time he's shy and sweet and gentle in a completely not-Zuko kind of way. They're breaking this Spirit curse and sending him back. They are not keeping him. Sokka is putting his foot down, and not allowing anyone to get attached.
-Or-
The Gaang want to be rid of Zuko, return balance to the world, and stop the war. Zuko wants to drag the Avatar back to his abusive father, and continues to get in the way of returning balance. A 'helpful' Spirit sees a simple solution to these problems.Series

Past and Future Running Free by Lady_of_War_and_Heartache

Summary
Zuko doesn’t know exactly how he got here.
But when a Spirit grabs you by the arm, dances a waltz with you, reveals your past and future to the Avatar, and shows you getting shot with lightning, you don't ask questions. You just get on the flying bison and embrace a new destiny in an attempt to save yourself and your estranged sister from the monster haunting your home.
Especially when there are only two known lightningbenders left in the world, and the Spirit revealed that both of them are traitors waiting for their chance to strike.
Or: the author has let the Epic brainworms get to them, and Zuko is the one who has to deal with it.
Featuring: Zuko trading his non-existent impulse control for some new friends, an over-protective Gaang who is very okay with that decision, a baffled Azula who isn't exactly going to say no to the older brother that wants to clear a path for her to take the throne, and a confused Iroh who just wants to know what he did to get slotted into the same category as Ozai.

This fic is about eri, while the fight between deku and overhaul. Angi saw what is happening and pity eri, that she might not survive, not realising that he 'accidentally' raised his hands and send eri into the avatar world (avatar and the last airbender world).

Summary
100 years ago, Fire Lord Sozin lead the Fire Nation into war against the other three nations, completely wiping the Air Nomads off the map and turning his sights to the Water Tribes and the Earth Kingdom. The Avatar, the sole person responsible for the peace of the world, vanished around this time and hasn't been seen since, and many have begun to lose hope that he even still exists.
Aang was never the Avatar. His twin sister, Anya, was saved at birth because she was the Avatar's next incarnation. Now, a hundred years have passed and as the last Airbender, it's his jobs to teach the current Avatar airbending...whoever that may be.
For three years, Zuko has searched for the Avatar at the behest of his father, along with the promise to have his honor returned to him. Desperate, Zuko has put every once of his being into this search, and now his luck seems to be turning around. An airbender - the last in the entire world - has been sighted in the Southern Water Tribe, and Zuko just knows that he knows where the Avatar is - if the nomad isn't the Avatar himself.
Yet he keeps insisting he's not. So if he's not the Avatar, then who is? And what is going on with these damn dreams?

Summary
Sokka might be aware that it’s a lot to ask Zuko. To trust him. Because he owns Zuko. Because being collared means something entirely different for them. Because… because they had too little time. Because they have to prepare and plan for a war. Still, Sokka will do everything he can to earn Zuko’s trust. If there’s some attraction and love on the way… Well, it's a very welcome side effect.
Reading part 1st - Hi, Zuko here! - is really recommended.

Summary
The boiling rock surely is a wonderful episode, and I thought it would be interesting to see it in these settings. Especially since suddenly there are two adult men with the Gaang and Zuko has the amount of issues that should be illegal. Fortunately he also has friends.
This is set in the “Collared” universe, I recommend reading the first part so there won’t be any confusion, but it’s not obligatory.Series

Summary
Zuko had just told the Gaang how he got his scar, but Katara wants to ask him something else as well.
Or
Katara wonders why Zuko aligned himself with Azula in Ba Sing Se.
(This technically does take place right after my other fic 'Story of the scar', but in all honesty, if you want to read this without reading that, all the context you need is that Zuko told them about the scar and they fell alseep afterwards)Series
