Summary
The boy flew up the stairs, a flurry of black clothes against gray steel. His footfalls still fell like feathers on wood, he was glad he knew how to make his steps quiet. Otherwise his life would’ve been over right there, right then. The boy slid the door open, peeking no more than his eyes above, he looked around and quickly took note of the few unconscious men scattered around.
The boy scrambled into the tower, looking around in awe. He counted 3 unconscious men, one of said men possibly dead. Several bruises littered across each of them, one had a slice to his arm, another had his ankle at a weird angle, and the third had his arm twisted in such a way that it had begun to lose air. He tensed, screams could no longer be heard outside. In only moments the worst happened.

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
Ambassador Sokka really loves Zuko’s hair. And spending time with him. And making him blush with stupid jokes. He might just have to stay forever.

Summary
Curious about the title of this fanwork? I’m joining an effort to call on AO3 to fulfill commitments they have already made to address harassment and racist abuse on the archive. Read more, boost, and get involved here!
Zuko is a former rich kid, emphasis on the rich, and his best friend Aang suggested hiring one of the students he knows in passing to assemble Zuko's complicated furniture in his new house. Aang failed to mention said student was vey hot and exactly Zuko's type.

Summary
In the next few minutes Jet witnesses the tension in Zuko’s prone, shaking frame head towards a peak. It’s odd to see how his features go slack, the perennially sullen mask that Zuko’s had on ever since Jet met him finally falling away- not in relief but in surrender, like he can do nothing else but submit to the pain. Zuko's chest rises in jerky bursts, a shudder of starts and stops that’s frankly disturbing to watch.
Sokka reaches out to gently tousle the scruffy hair, but Zuko makes a sound that’s somewhere between a whimper and a grunt and shifts weakly to curl on his side, so Sokka lets his hand fall back instead.
It should be satisfying to watch an ashmaker suffer this much, but after all he's learnt tonight, what Jet feels is a lot less like vindication and a lot more like sympathy.

Summary
What is he if not a protector?
He's just Sokka.
He's sixteen years old and he's fought in and won a war, helped design revolutionary machines, protected the Avatar...
And yet, he feels so small. So insignificant.

Summary
Fact #1: It’s been a year, but Zuko’s life is still in boxes.
In the span of a year, everything has changed. Zuko's father will never hurt him again, but that doesn't mean that all the trauma and shame just disappear. He can see that his friends want to help, he can see that Uncle hurts inside when Zuko doesn't eat, but he hasn't figured out what else to do about it.
