Summary
For a hundred years, war and devastation consumed the world. Aang was one of only people left to remember that it ever used to be different. To remember that there was a time when sixteen year old boys weren’t dressed in armor and sent to commit acts of violence, and twelve year old kids weren’t meant to stop them. To remember having friends in the Fire Nation. To remembers walking through Caldera City with Kuzon, choking on Fire Flakes, and watching street performers.
So now that Zuko was here asking for redemption...well, being friends sounded better than being enemies.
Maybe their friendship was destined to be. Maybe together they could bring back some of what was lost.
(AKA, After Zuko joins the Gaang, Aang gets to know him and they become friends).

After Avatar Aang and Master Katara's "wild child," Bumi, gets into trouble again at school, he's sent to live with Fire Lord Zuko, Fire Lady Mai, and Crown Princess Izumi at their beach house on Ember Island for a while.

Summary
Summary: After the fight in the catacombs of Ba Sing Se, Zuko finally restores his honor by bringing a severely injured Avatar home to his father. A treasonous decision awakens his connection to his past life self: Kuzon. With Kuzon at his side, Zuko plunges headfirst into rescuing Aang from Ozai's clutches, into making amends for his mistakes, and into rebirthing as the Blue Spirit instead of masquerading in its mask.

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.

In which Zuko is the prodigy instead of Azula!
And this is the BEST roleswap fic I’ve ever read, like…omg. Redeems BOTH of them in a way that feels so full and natural. A must-read 💞

Summary
“I don’t care,” Aang pronounced suddenly, “about Azula or how she found us. I care,” he turned around and the anger in his normally passive grey eyes bored into Zuko, “that Zuko almost died for no reason at all.”
Aang takes issue with Zuko's obvious lack of regard for his own safety.
