Summary
"Something deep inside of the former general broke then, something that looking after his nephew had slowly begun to knit whole in the time since his son’s death. And now before him lay the little boy he had watched grow up, who had looked up to his strong, brave cousin Lu Ten and fought with his sister, who had never been enough for his father while always striving so hard to be everything that the man told him he should be. Smoke trailed from a scorched hole in Zuko’s tunic, and his lips were blue, and he had no pulse."
AU of "The Chase," where Azula strikes Zuko with lightning instead of Iroh, with even direr consequences for the banished prince. Thankfully, Team Avatar is willing to set aside their differences to try to save their fallen enemy. No character death!

Summary
he doesn’t say watch out— he doesn’t give any warning. poised beneath the blade one moment is sokka, and the next zuko lies on the ground, unresponsive.
maybe, katara thinks, shakily, this was the goal after all.

Summary
Zuko wakes up the first time it happens to the smell of burning flesh. He at first thinks it’s just a lingering memory, the vestiges of a nightmare he’s had many times, but then he hears the shouts and clanging of metal that accompanies it.
The telltale signs of a fight, right outside his door.
So of course he does the sensible thing and rushes toward the commotion without a second thought, still in his loose bedclothes and bleary-eyed from sleep. He practically falls out of the door, stumbling right into the middle of both the hall and the battle waging within it.
At this point, Zuko's no stranger to attempts on his life. He can handle it.
Or five times Zuko's friends save him from an assassination attempt, and one time they're almost too late.

Summary
Somehow, he survives his first month on the throne, assassination attempts, and Agni Kais be damned. And then he survives the second.
By the start of the third, Zuko thinks, I might make it to seventeen.(Somewhere, the spirits are laughing at him.)

Summary
What if Zuko was the one struck by Azula's attack in The Chase? And what if instead of fire, it was lightning? A short exploration of what would have occurred between Zuko, Iroh, and the Gaang in that scenario. Hint -- the Gaang has a LOT of fun messing with him.
