    Summary

    Uncle Iroh- for some reason Zuko yet again failed to understand -refused to shoot lightning at his nephew. When further asked about it, he'd said something about it being for safety and health reasons (although it was still a bit unclear whose health he was referring to).

    Zuko had never been able to count on luck though. If he wanted to ensure he could get an upper hand against his family, he would have to go and look for one himself, like with pretty much everything else in his life.

    But perhaps people should really be careful of what they wish for. It might become true in the least expected ways.

    Or:
    Zuko gets cursed by the spirits and things go differently than expected, but also not much changes

    Summary

    Crown Prince Zuko discovers his bending when he is five and his sister is three, and she’s the first person he tells, juggling a flame while she admires its beauty. When he shows the rest of his family, his mother’s chopsticks clatter to the table, and when Zuko looks to his father, his eyes are wide with shock.

    His grandfather speaks first, the head of the table, and approval runs thick through his tone: “Well, look at that. A true prodigy, wouldn’t you agree, Ozai?”

    “Indeed,” he hums.

    //

    (Princess Azula won’t summon her first flame—a guttering, timid thing—until she’s seven.)

    //

    Or, in a world where Zuko is the prodigy and Azula is the one banished, destiny shifts accordingly.

    Summary

    Oh Merciful Agni, please no.
    Dreading the answer, Zuko bent forwards and shifted one of his whiskers to press against the Chief of the Sun Warriors forehead, projecting his question as much as he could.
    Which false Fire Lord is on the throne?
    Chimalli blinked, either at the question itself or the method of talking.
    “False Fire Lord Ozai. He ascended to the throne three years ago, at the passing of his father.”
    Zuko felt very cold, dread pooling in his chest, chilling his inner fire.

     

    or: Zuko and Gaang are sent back in time but they're not in the bodies of their younger selves, but in ones completely different then what they are used to.

    If not updated in a while, don't panic.
    I'm just slow
