    Summary

    “I’m so proud of you, my nephew.” Uncle cups Zuko’s face in his lined hand. The gesture is so tender, his palm so warm, that Zuko has to take a fortifying breath against the sudden swell of emotion in his chest.

    “I want to be a good leader, Uncle,” Zuko says. “I want to look after my people.”

    “You will,” Uncle says. “You are, nephew.”

     

    In a new era of peace, Zuko works to be a very different Fire Lord than his forefathers. Based on this tumblr post.

    Summary

    AU: Lu Ten never died at Ba Sing Se, and Fire Lord Iroh rules the nation with an iron fist. Zuko is merely the son of the second prince, overlooked by his more talented younger sister and can only dream of the day when he will be finally allowed to prove himself in battle. When Lu Ten returns, triumphant, with the Avatar and his Water Tribe companions in chains, Zuko is put in charge of their imprisonment. But he soon learns that things are not what they seem with both the child Avatar and within his own family. And soon, Zuko will have a decision to make. How much good can one overlooked nephew to the throne do?

    Summary

    He wets his lips anxiously, putting his hands in front of him in defence. “Tom, can you, uhm, can you just tell me why you’re here, please? I’m really confused. I don’t understand why—I don’t understand what’s going on.”

    Tom smiles at him, his brow creasing momentarily like he’s concerned for Grace—as though he doesn’t understand Grace’s obvious fear. “Aw, c’mon, it’s not that confusing. I’m here to take you home.” He laughs. “Well, your new home, obviously.”

    Summary

    Anna Grace has lived through many global disasters, but never once has a child looked her in the eyes and told her "My mommy said we're all going to die soon" until now. As she tries to grapple with the fact that the world is truly, really, seriously bracing for mass extinction in the next thirty years, she also has to come to terms with the fact that her son suddenly appears in every newspaper as the second-in-command of the most powerful woman in the world.

    Or: Project Hail Mary, but Ryland's parents are in the picture and watch in horror from afar as their son is getting pulled deeper and deeper into this mess
