Summary
– and Azula’s crackling bolt of lightning steadied, became still and straight, and was a beam of blue light thrusting from the horizon to the sky. The cold voltaic shock through his nerves was the sting of cold air damp with spray from the sea, the pressure of electrical charge the weight of armour on his shoulders, the harsh blue-white glow of lightning the grey-white-blue of sea and ice and sky.
…His scalp was cold.
Zuko doesn't know why he's suddenly back here again, here on his ship amongst the icebergs, with the Avatar's light stabbing into the sky. He's not even sure this is real. But if it is, he's going to do things better this time.
Of course, things go off the rails almost immediately.

Burning Ashes To Dust (Like A Funeral Pyre) by Imaginealpha
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender
06 Jun 2022
Tags
Summary
The first lesson Zuko ever learns about firebending is that power comes from anger.
Firebenders can draw power from their pain. His whole life, Zuko is told to use his old haunts to succeed, swiping fire from the nicks in his fingers and bursting angry flames from his left eye. Azula’s cold fire comes from the scars littering her arms and the phantom stinging of her father’s backhands. Iroh, too, has little marks on forearms and hands, long faded but still burning like new when he bends them with intense fury. The nature of firebending is not so easily boiled down, though, and throughout his journey, Zuko tries hard to truly understand his pain and power in life.

Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender

Summary
Zuko has a long list of reparations to make as the Fire Lord, but there are a few he has to make as himself.
He’s much more nervous about those ones, unfortunately.

Summary
“Your dad,” Sokka starts, then swallows hard. “Your dad dueled you, burned half of your face off, and then banished you because you spoke when you shouldn’t have?”
Guilt festers and bubbles like black tar in Zuko’s chest. “I didn’t just speak. I questioned and insulted one of his highest-ranking generals—but the man was planning a massacre! He shouldn’t have—” Zuko clamps his mouth shut, his teeth clicking together, and swallows thickly. “I mean. I found the tactic he proposed very startling, but it wasn’t my place to question such things. I’m sure he had his reasons.”
“Tui and La what the absolute fuck,” Sokka whispers.
[Zuko gets imprisoned with Sokka and Katara during the winter solstice, and some very unfortunate things come to light. Alternatively: the gaang

Summary
On the day before Ba Sing Se falls, Katara decides two things: 1) not to stop for a cup of tea; 2) consequently, the fate of the world.
Behind the walls, Zuko loses sleep, runs errands, contemplates treason, and drinks a lot of hot leaf juice—not necessarily in that order.

Summary
The word for Avatar is the same in all four languages. Four syllables. Since Sozin’s comet, the Fire Nation has spelled it with three, erasing the character for “air,” but Zuko knows what he’s looking for. The trouble is finding it.
(A Zuko-centric exploration of a world in which all four nations speak, read, and write different languages, but the rest of canon remains unchanged. Consideration of the Zuko+Aang parallels and relationship more than any other, but definitely not romantic. Some pre-canon scenes and some "between scenes" that occur in the timeline of the show)

Summary
Zuko's soul marks have been regularly burned away since before he knew what they meant. He knows that he cannot be loyal to his father and his nation while also being loyal to a soul family, so he doesn't look for them. Unfortunately, that means that he doesn't know when he's found them.

Summary
For his first thirteen years, Zuko was raised in a palace. And yet somehow, it's the three years outside the Fire Nation that seem to count more – at least to the palace staff, who act like he's been raised by fox-wolves.
At first, this only annoys Zuko.
Until he begins to think that the Fire Nation needs more than a formerly-banished prince.
