Summary
Book 2: Earth: After the Gaang escaped from Crown Princess Azula's clutches with the help of Prince Iroh, Dragon of the West, the team seeks out a town to recuperate. Toph talks to a mistreated captive at the market square. As the truth comes out, it becomes increasingly obvious that the maxim "It is said to keep your friends close, but your enemies closer" runs true. With Exiled Prince Zuko unwittingly taken in by the Avatar and his companions, his understanding of the war, and the ways people have been afflicted by it, change forever. But will he heed his mothers words, and remember who he truly is? A tale of a fall, and a hard won redemption.
Welcome to Part 2* of Metamorphosis of a Prince, follow us as Prince Zuko changes once more.
* for full enjoyment of all facets, read the first four chapters of this (Demise) first, and then the Prequel whenever. Or do whatever you feel like.
As the Prequel complementary backstory, reading it is NOT required to understand this story.
A fair warning for those interested, though, it is quite a bit darker than this in both description and content, read the trigger warnings and the introductory note there before you delve into it.Series

Summary
A take on the premise of what would have happened if Itachi had taken Sasuke with him after the Massacre, combined with a component of slavery existing in the Narutoverse:
Forcefully separated, Sasuke finds himself wishing back the time when he thought he'd hated Itachi, if it just meant to know if his brother was still alive. Being faced with slavery and having to interact with people all while keeping his identity secret, slipping up is all too easy. That he could possibly gain a friend or two out of this hasn't even crossed his mind.
Suspended from her job at the hospital, Sakura has to deal with an unusual mission. Despite not understanding why, she does as ordered and gets a slave situated in her home, just like the loyal shinobi she is. Keeping everyone at distance, she tries to live on, but with another person living in her apartment, it's only a matter of time until confrontation happens.

Summary
Zuko hatte nicht damit gerechnet, dass jemand ihn erkennen würde, der Abstecher ins Erd-Städtchen hätte bloss seine Vorräte auffüllen sollen. Doch das spielte jetzt keine Rolle mehr, nun hatten sie ihn, geschwächt und gefesselt… und sie verloren langsam ihre Hemmungen, ihm etwas anzutun.
Übersetzung von: A Prince's Fall

Summary
“Your lungs have collapsed. You can barely breathe on your own. Aang’s been keeping you alive with airbending.”
Oh. That explains a lot. Zuko can’t do anything but choke in response.
Thankfully, the Water Tribe boy isn’t looking for a response. “Not even four hours ago, Katara was the only thing keeping you from bleeding out on the pier. You’re probably just minutes away from being back where you were then.” He accentuates his point by gently applying more pressure to Zuko’s injury. Fucking ow. “You need them. If you want to stay alive, you don’t try anything. Okay?”
Shit.
. . .
When his ship explodes, Zuko isn't so lucky to get away unscathed. No amount of firebending can protect him from the solid steel the explosion launches everywhere. His ship is lodged in his chest, and he can't breathe. He must rely on the Avatar to do it for him.

Summary
When Harry finds an injured Snape on his doorstep and must hide him from the Dursleys, he has no idea that this very, very bad day will be the start of something good.
Harry and Snape are thrown together by annoying relatives, a series of strange dreams, and Voldemort's latest hunt for Harry, but their greatest challenge may well be surviving each other. This will be a long summer unless the two can find a way to work together. A slow-burn enemy-to-mentor story.
Alternate 6th summer (and part of the school year): post-OotP; ignores HBP and DH. No slash, no romance. NOW COMPLETE!

A wonderful story. I read it in one go over the course of three days.

Summary
The story took a different turn after the Siege of the North when Zuko was captured by the Water Tribe.
A lot of prisoner trope, found families, and not-adoptions... And Zuko having to deal with more trauma than in the canon

Bookmarker's Notes
I've had a ton of fun reading through this story. It may not be as polished, language-wise, due to the author not being a native speaker, but if you like exploring psychological aspects in connection to imprisonment, then this will be interesting for you. Though, pay attention to trigger warnings, especially in the first part. In the first read-through, I didn't even read it in order and still enjoyed it.
The different parts show a variety of imprisonment forms, different types of captors, and the aftermath of torture on mind and body.
What I appreciated especially, are the unique OC's and how they spice up the story.I've started to translate this series into German, with the goal to improve the quality of wording, at least in my native tongue. It's been fun so far.
