    Summary

    Zuko reaches out with trembling hands and tucks it behind Sokka’s ear.

    “A pretty flower for a pretty boy,” he whispers.

    Summary

    Uncle is gone.

    Father says it casually, over dinner, the way another man might recount a minor inconvenience from his workday. Azula smirks, but the words just rattle around uselessly in Zuko’s head.

    “Forgive me, Father,” Zuko says as evenly as he can. “I’m afraid I don’t understand.”

    “I had Iroh executed.”

    Or: Zuko never joins the Gaang.

    Summary

    The bath takes care of the sweat. Takes care of the burnt bits of skin and fat that still cling to his palm. Zuko scrubs his body until it’s raw, blushing red; he dunks his head under the hot water and stays there, staring up at the dark, vaulted ceiling of the washroom until his lungs run out of breath to use.
    The oil of honeysuckle and opium and cinnamon, sweet and sharp and earthy, does not wash the stench of scorched flesh out of his nose.

    Zuko falls asleep on the evening of his official coronation, when he’s twenty-one-years old and has finally reached his majority. Zuko wakes on the morning of the Agni Kai with his father, eight years earlier.
    This is annoying for several reasons, like the fact that the War is still ongoing, that he has zero friends, and that Ozai is not in jail.
    It’s time to scheme.

    Summary

    AU where Zuko realises early into his banishment that Ozai is an abusive bastard who sent him on a wild goose chase. Iroh turns their decommissioned warship into a floating tea shop, and Zuko settles down as a tea server onboard the Jasmine Dragon.

    And then, years later, the Avatar emerges from the iceberg.

    And then Aang decides that he wants Zuko, the first good firebender he’s met this century, to be his firebending teacher - even though Zuko wants nothing to do with him.

    Based on this tumblr post.

    Summary

    Li's scar is suddenly all Jet can think about. The scar, the scar, the old man’s hot hands warming his tea like he thought he could get away with firebending in the middle of a crowd.

    or: After getting to know Li on the ferry, Jet sees Mushi heat his tea. Instead of assuming Li is also a firebender, Jet assess the situation and comes to a rather different conclusion.
