Summary
What if Ozai’s rage didn’t stay in the war room?
A world where during the childhood abuse they faced Zuko and Azula always stayed together, until that fateful day. Instead of banishing Zuko, Ozai sent him to Boiling Rock, but on his way there a prison escape took place. Now living among the Southern Watertribe warriors, Zuko finally feels safe- well almost. Azula, left behind with only a warning to keep her head down and the belief her brother’s dead, gets careless. Lucky her, Ozai still needs an heir. Until he has one, he needs her alive and what better fate than searching for a myth.
Aged up characters (kinda), war takes place over years not a few months.
!!WARNING SEMI-GRAPHIC CHILD ABUSE AND STUDLE IMPLIED SEXUAL ABUSE!!

Summary
The crew of the Wani—formerly the 41st Division, now the exiled Prince’s reluctant escort, watches in sullen formation. Their uniforms are still crisp where the ash has been brushed off. Prince Zuko has always lived in the shadow of flame—scarred by it, shaped by it, and expected to wield it without hesitation. Yet the sea and war are merciless, and when danger strikes, he’s forced to become something else. Because loyalty isn’t sparked by fear; it’s forged in the fiercest heat, and before this is over, something will burn.

Summary
Lu Ten wasn't fast enough to save Zuko from this. He weighed too many options as he planned a desperate escape and by the time he tried to grab Zuko he was already gone. Instead he was forced to watch it all from beside his Dad, to hear screams, to hear the final ruling, and he demanded to be sent away on that ship as well. The next time? Well, he's learned his lesson, speed is key. Lu Ten won't fail his cousin again.
The next time leads them to the deck of a Southern Water Tribe ship and he somehow talks his way out of their certain death. He keeps his head low as they put him to work and tries to get Zuko to do the same. At least here, on the seas, they're alive. But for how long is that necessary? How long until the crews curiosity turns into care?

Summary
Defending the Moon Spirit cost Zuko his birthright, branding him and his uncle traitors to the Fire Nation. Determined to survive on his own terms, Zuko’s solitary flight through the Earth Kingdom ended abruptly when Admiral Zhao cornered him near the Gaipan forest.
The prince was pulled from the brink of capture and far worse by Jet and the Freedom Fighters. While Zuko tried to hide behind the identity of a simple refugee named "Lee," his relentless work ethic and surprisingly soft nature for the camp’s youngest members caught Jet’s attention. What started as suspicion soon softened into an unexpected intimacy.
Now, known to Jet as his Firelily, Zuko refuses to choose between the crown and the rebel. Driven by a new kind of fire, he intends to reclaim the birthright that discarded him and build a new world alongside the family that finally claimed him.

Summary
Во дворце Огня нет тишины—лишь правильно расставленные слова. Здесь даже молчание является приказом. И если имя не звучит вслух, значит, его никогда не существовало.
Каори выросла именно так—наследник. Оружие. Ошибка, которую можно спрятать за правильной осанкой, безупречной дисциплиной и отсутвием того, кем она есть.
Ее учили держать пламя так, чтобы оно не задавало вопросов. Учили смотреть вперед и не оглядываться—особенно туда, где могло бы быть ее настоящее «я».
Когда изгнание разрушает привычный поток жизни, Каори остается без всего, что когда-то называли ее будущим. И именно тогда начинает проступать то, что нельзя выжечь. И это не сила, не титул, не роль, а тихое, упрямое присутвие ее настоящего «я».
И где-то между болью, бегством и чужими союзами она начинает слышать то имя, которое она наконец решается произнести сама.
И в ее голосе нет ни титула, ни оправдания.
Только она.
И огонь, который больше не спрашивает разрешения на то, чтобы жить. -

Summary
In one universe there was a story about a boy trapped in an iceberg. When this boy woke up and broke out he made some friends, but was also chased around the world by a prince who wanted his honour back. When the boy befriended the prince(and also a fair amount of time before), the prince’s younger sister started chasing them instead.
In that universe there had only been one prince and one princess. She remembered that pretty damn clearly. So how the hell had she suddenly woken up as the elder twin sister to the princess?

The first time Zuko met Aang was when he had snuck out of the palace at age 14.
Because somehow this led to Zuko finding a baby monk yelling his lungs out for help from the top of a tree that he was very clearly stuck in despite any possible air bending the young monk could have done.
And somehow, 2 years later this led to both boys being caught in a storm that had them frozen in ice for the next 100 years
