Summary
Zuko had scrubbed the smell of sex and blood of himself, but that didn’t stop it from clinging to the inside of his nose. Could the others smell it? Could they taste his shame in the back of their throats too?
Irrationally, Zuko wanted to crawl inside himself. Peel those watching eyes off him; don’t look at me! They knew, somehow. They could see it on him. Some kind of tell, some stain he couldn’t see or wash away.
What if they all knew? Laughing behind his back at what he’d given up just for a fraction of a chance to get his honor back.
What honor? Any scrap he’d had left after the Agni Kai was lost the moment he spread his legs for Zhao.
They could all see it, couldn’t they?
Zuko wondered if he could ever be rid of the things Zhao did to him.
Zuko deals with the aftermath.
He goes about it the same way he deals with every other shitty thing in his life: with gritted teeth, stubborn pride, and a whole lot of yelling.Series

Hindsight is Clear (Hindsight is Bitter). by GuildofScribes
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender (Cartoon 2005)
03 Sep 2025
Tags
Summary
As with most things in life, hindsight is the only clarity humans can get. Lieutenant Jee has more experience in this than he’d like.
Prince Zuko was a trial from Angi to either prove Jee a decent man, or drive him utterly insane.
It’s a pity that clarity doesn’t come when you need it, only ever when it’s all too late.

Summary
Zuko was a child when he met Agni. Then, the spirits started coming to him. Eyes hidden in the hallways, voices pleading for help, for recognition, for remembrance.
Zuko could see Agni. He could see the broken remains of a Great Spirit and the empty smiles of amnesiac ghosts.
And they could see him in return.

Summary
Sixteen-year-old Zuko doesn’t have much left: no honor, no throne, and no hope—only the burning need to capture the Avatar. So when a powerful, older version of himself crashes into his training session out of nowhere, Zuko figures his luck is finally turning.
Except... It's not.
Fire Lord Zuko, moments after a fatal lightning strike during his battle with Azula, wakes up years in the past—face-to-face with the angry, banished prince he used to be. Time travel was definitely not part of the plan.

Summary
Rubbing his hands over his face, Aang fell against Appa to take comfort in his fluff. “And it’s been a hundred years? That’s- I can’t believe- Wait, then why have you been looking for me, uh, for the Avatar?”
This was a pivotal moment and it needed to be handled with finesse, care, and the truth if there was any hope of Aang agreeing to work with him. Yes, Zuko could do this.
Aang wakes up from the ice and the story starts as we all know it. But instead of a Fire Nation cruiser crashing into Katara and Sokka's village, a small sailing boat lands on their shore. How will Hui the Yangchen Scholar change the coming events?

Summary
(Zuko/OC • Slow Burn • Action & Romance • Canon Divergence)
They didn’t speak as the last flicker of the palace vanished from view, the silence heavier than the smoke in the air.
"There’s no turning back now," Zari breathed.
"Good," Zuko answered, eyes fixed on the horizon. "I’m not looking back."
Zari was born the Fire Scion, destined to serve the Fire Nation’s conquest. She watched Prince Zuko’s exile from the stands and spent three long years apart from the boy she could never forget. When he returns a hero, both are forced to play roles they no longer believe in- but the Day of Black Sun changes everything.
Together, they’ll abandon the palace, join the Avatar, and risk everything to end the war.

Summary
To Zuko, life is a stage and an important play is taking place in front of him. He believes that it is his destiny to keep the story on track no matter what and ensure everyone gets a happy ending. Things would be so much easier if the characters would stop dying, killing him, and/or ending up in some sort of catastrophic situation. It doesn't really matter, he will reset the stage as many times as it takes until everything is perfect.
