Summary
Sokka had only had to get Zuko and Suki on working together terms in this prison, not so hard! Yet here he was, Zuko and Suki were patching things together oddly well, Jet was seemingly back from the dead, and a random firebender had just dropped himself into Sokka’s plans rather rudely. He had mere hours to work out a plan and get everyone off this cursed volcano. No one had ever escaped before and here he was all of 15 years old and thinking himself better than every person in this place. What could he see that they couldn’t? Not a Tui and La blessed thing and he was admitting it now. He was going to be the reason Suki and Jet stayed, and possibly worst of all the reason Zuko was just handed back to the Fire Nation on a golden platter.

Summary
Zuko had never excelled at anything. Azula was a prodigy. Uncle always knew what to say. And Father... Father was strong, iron-like. But Zuko had only ever been good at surviving. Putting one foot in front of the other in a grim show of stubborn determination, gritting his teeth and bearing it. Survival was all he had ever been taught. He knew how to do it. So when he was kidnapped by the Southern Water Tribe, he expected to fight as he always had. He didn’t expect to be taught instead how to live.
In a warring land, the Water Tribe forgave the enemy in an act of defiance. For this, he was torn from them, and this time, his wounds won't heal so easily.
Forced back into nothing but survival, the last person Zuko expected to see was Hakoda's son. Hakoda was a promise of safety. The relentless blue of Sokka’s eyes was a promise of happiness. Zuko could have both if he just reached out his hands, but he found them clutching into fists. After all, he’d been burned one too many times.
But hey, at least between Hakoda and Sokka, Zuko could appreciate the family resemblance of pure, asinine stubbornness.

Summary
At eleven years old, Zuko was exiled from the Fire Nation and declared nameless. All proof of his existence was destroyed. And then, it was as if Zuko never existed at all.
At sixteen, Lee was imprisoned and sent to the Boiling Rock Penitentiary to serve a life sentence. There, he finds a new family and allows himself to hope for a glimpse of happiness. But even that hope runs dry.
At twenty-two, Lee is once again nameless in the Earth Kingdom. If the Fire Nation finds him, he fears execution. He has nowhere to go and nowhere to hide. Nowhere, except the Southern Water Tribe.
Set in a modern world where the Fire Nation has conquered and colonized the Air Nomads, the Water Tribes, and most of the Earth Kingdom. But things are shifting, the world is changing, and rebellion is a fire that won't be snuffed out easily. And when this fire spreads, it may be the Fire Nation that is on the losing side of this hundred-year war.
