Even With My Skin In Tatters You Still Look At Me by meteormoss

Summary
"Quiet!" The Warden snaps, lips pulling up in a sneer. Yeah, that was utterly pointless, just more begging to avoid an already promised fate. "You're my special prisoner now." All those thoughts and scenarios that had been circling his head like a rabbitvulture dive in ten times more intense. There's no way that means anything good for him. Not when the Warden's fingers wrap tight around his chin and a sick grin seeps onto his face, every single tooth bared in a mockery of human expression. "And you best behave, if these criminals found out who you are, the traitor prince who let his nation down, why, they'd tear you to shreds."
In the end, it's not just 'those criminals' that tear him to shreds. Not even just him either. Incident after incident he suffers through as Sokka desperately scrapes together their escape, and from the way Suki is moving he knows he's not entirely unique in his situation. And Sokka is forced to watch.
And is recovery even possible when they potentially get out? With his body in the state that is, Zuko isn't so sure he can even fathom that.

Summary
He lights a candle with the matches Zuko had asked a servant to find in the markets as soon as he remembered none of his friends were firebenders. The box is half-empty, and another sat in the middle drawer to be pulled out in due time. His friend had gone through a million excuses as to why Sokka was staying in the fire nation for so long, and Sokka was running out of his own. As of late he's playing the role of Ambassador, which leaves him feeling useful to both his home and his friend.
Useful.
He continues to be useful in the Fire Nation as seasons and years stretch into oblivion, as his life weaves into Zuko's own in ways they could never untangle. Private dinners, late nights hunched over a shared desk, and a box of matches ordered every so often. The longer it goes the less he wishes to untangle himself, but that could mean nothing. Or it could mean something is burning slowly in the background, the light unacknowledged and unappreciated until it almost snuffs out.

As In The End So Is The Beginning by meteormoss

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
A series of disappearances, all seemingly disconnected. Bones in the woods. Aang's got a gut sense that this is his job to figure out, so they keep it quiet, between themselves, and set to work. He might not be important as the Avatar anymore but he trusts his gut, and that very quickly proves to be a good thing. So, what is in the woods? What is actually parading through their little town?

Summary
Finally, the war is ended, and Zuko is healed. He makes the mistake of an attempt at humor when Katara informs him she can't do anything about the scar, and now he's finally explaining how he got the one on his face. Except, no one is reacting how he thinks they should to this story, and he doesn't know what to do with their outrage.
