After an 'incident' during the first day of his sixth year at Hogwarts, Severus Snape is sent to the Avatar world, where he is forced to team up with the Gaang (Aang, Katara, and Sokka) to survive and find a way home, while being forced into a war that is not his own and journeying down a path of self-discovery, making him question everything he has ever known.

Summary
Sokka had somehow managed to go over half a semester without having to email Professor Zhao personally. And this one time he had to email him, he somehow got the wrong email.
Or,
Sokka keeps accidentally emailing some guy named Zuko. Oh, and there's also the matter of trying to ask out Lee, the cute barista at the Jasmine Dragon.

HDJABDF THIS WAS AMAZING OMG
I normally hate miscommunication tropes but the actual miscommunication part of this was so short and the rest of it was so funny that I just had a great time all the way through. Imagining Zhao as some asshole professor dealing with Sokka's emails has me cackling.

Summary
– and Azula’s crackling bolt of lightning steadied, became still and straight, and was a beam of blue light thrusting from the horizon to the sky. The cold voltaic shock through his nerves was the sting of cold air damp with spray from the sea, the pressure of electrical charge the weight of armour on his shoulders, the harsh blue-white glow of lightning the grey-white-blue of sea and ice and sky.
…His scalp was cold.
Zuko doesn't know why he's suddenly back here again, here on his ship amongst the icebergs, with the Avatar's light stabbing into the sky. He's not even sure this is real. But if it is, he's going to do things better this time.
Of course, things go off the rails almost immediately.

Summary
It's not a surprise that as the only daughter of a wealthy merchant family, Toph Beifong would someday be offered up on the altar of matrimony. For more wealth, for a noble title, for the good of the family. She'd just planned to run away first. And she definitely didn't expect this mess.

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…

Summary
The firehawk landed with the grace of its species, claws pricking Zuko’s arm where it perched, despite the thick fabric of his sleeves.
Maybe, his father had realized Zuko was needed at home and was cutting his search short before it could truly begin, allowing Zuko to return and regain the honor he’d lost in that fateful Agni Kai.
Zuko couldn’t help the hope that welled inside him, as he leaned against the railing and unfurled the scroll with trembling fingers.
It was -
It was a casualty report, with nearly two hundred names listed. Zuko stared down at the page, uncomprehending as he read the artfully penned characters, scanning the paper for something, anything to explain what he was looking at.

agni has (not) abandoned him [rewrite] by iliwaren
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender (Cartoon 2005)
10 Sep 2025
Tags
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
The death of the moon spirit has upset the balance, sending ripples through the spirit world that have caused something very dangerous to come through the veil between worlds.
That's what the world sees, what Zuko sees is a lost child that clearly doesn't know what they're doing

Summary
Just a year into his search for the Avatar, Prince Zuko is swept off his ship during a fierce storm. Heartsick and alone, he eventually makes his way to a certain forest in the Earth Kingdom. After defending himself from Fire Nation soldiers using his bending, Zuko is captured by Jet, who is delighted to have an ashmaker for a prisoner.
When Aang, Katara, and Sokka arrive, it's too late; Zuko is left with no name, no humanity, and no sanity.
This fic has been described as an "angst cake with sprinkles of humor and sweetness on top."

Summary
The attack on the Northern Water Tribe goes differently, Aang and the ocean spirit don’t destroy the entire Fire Nation fleet, only most of them.
Zhao escapes, taking Sokka and a few other Water Tribe men as prisoners. Knowing Sokka is traveling with the Avatar he gets sent to Zhao’s “special prison camp” that is hidden near the Earth Kingdom colonies.
Sokka gets a taste of the real war, not the war that he thinks he knows from traveling with the Avatar. While Zhao’s prisoner, he struggles to survive the inhuman conditions. Alone and thought to be dead, he feels himself slowly losing hope.
Seeing a familiar face brings back his hope, even if that face is the scarred Prince of the Fire Nation.
Sokka and Zuko come together to survive and end up depending on each other for a lot more than they ever thought possible.

Summary
Part of the Instinctual Verse, please read those first!
Zuko is glad that he had started getting his bending back before they hit the frigid North Pole, but it turns out that the Northern Water Tribe doesn't feel the same way.
They hadn't even gotten close to the city yet and he was half frozen in a block of ice, freezing and bound as his captors ignore Katara, Aang, and Sokka's protests. He really should have known something like this would happen, but as usual he'd underestimated his luck and now he had to come up with a way to convince the Northern Chief to allow a firebender to walk free in his village.
He HAD to, because he wasn't going to let himself become a prisoner. Not again.

Summary
Perhaps if Aang tried hard enough, he could think of it as a new source of energy for the world, a new beacon of hope and as a sacrifice that would remind even the Fire Nation that love was selfless and unafraid.
Yue was lost now.
But, Aang supposed, they had gained Zuko.
Or, the story of how Sokka learns that perhaps love and hate are two sides of the same coin-----
