Summary
Zuko fails to impress the royal family when he's born and is shipped out to be trained as a court assassin. This goes south when he gets scouted by the Yuyan, and learns that his father's quick decision to label him as a non-bender may have been presumptive...

Summary
A series of one-shots exploring small moment within the Avatar series that may or may not have happened, focusing on the detail that Zuko may once have been trained to be an assassin. And I just can't stop writing him that way.
Filled with plenty of angst, questionable family relatives and Zuko feels!

Summary
Azula, former Princess of the Fire Nation, left the Palace three years ago in order to build up an alliance and take her father down, once and for all. But the world is changing - the Avatar's arrival is both a blessing and a curse, and with him comes a risk she might not be willing to take. Meanwhile, in a Nation more fragmented than ever, Zuko will do everything to cut off his weakness and folllow Ozai's orders - but he doesn't know if he can kill Azula.
---
“It’s always a pleasure to watch destiny unfold."
Azula sighed, “Destiny will not win a war, Uncle. This is the result of all out hard work.”
“Ah, but just as we cannot control the skies and seas, sometimes we cannot control the path our lives take.”
“Tell me, Uncle. Do the tides control the ship, or do I?”
Uncle laughed, “Point made. Lead on, my niece, but be wary of incoming storms.”
For a moment, the world was still, and something tense settled on her shoulders. But she shook it off.
She had the Avatar, and soon she’d have the North.

Summary
He didn’t realize he was looking for Zuko until his gaze fell on the empty left side of his bed, the sheets as rumpled and cold as they had been in his dream. But this time, they were rumpled not because Zuko had been laying there, but because Sokka had been twisting anxiously in his sleep. This time, they were cold not because Zuko had slipped out of bed to meditate, but because he hadn’t been there to begin with.
or,
A missing scene from right on the target, wide of the mark, in which Sokka is left to pull himself back together after Zuko left in the middle of the night.

Summary
“I’m sorry, my love,” he whispered as he brought his swords up. “I have to do this.”
Zuko closed his eyes as tears slipped down his face, turned his head to the side, and brought his swords down towards Sokka’s neck.
or,
Zuko is sent to assassinate the spirit-touched Prince Sokka of the Northern Water Tribe, twenty years after the end of the Great War. It seems like any other mission at first, except for the fact that as they get closer, he realizes there’s more to Sokka than meets the eye. And he begins to think that maybe some orders… aren’t worth following.

Ahhhhhh that sweet ending. The amount of fluff was almost too much for me to handle it was sooooooo cute and soft and then complimented with the angst. It made the perfect mixture of everything.

Summary
Zuko is seven when his mother first introduces him to the concoction of deadly poisons.
(The palace sits on an intricately woven, fragile foundation of backstabbing snake-eyed councilmen; disloyal, mistreated servants who turn at a thumb of silver; cold-hearted royals wreathed in red and gold flames.
Knowing how to slip nerium oleander into a nobleman’s stash of richly sweet sake, or learning the most effective mixtures of crushed herbs that ends in a boneless corpse at the rise of dawn won’t hurt the children raised by war.)
She demonstrates more than once.
or: ursa teaches him poisons, piandao teaches him swords, ozai teaches him silence, and azulon takes advantage.

Summary
“Well, well. What have we here?”
The voice sounds from behind him in the dark, and Zuko freezes.
No.
Not just freezes, is frozen, muscles taught and unresponsive as his arms stretch wide, blade clattering to the floor with a cacophonous noise. All of his movements are not his own, and he can’t fight against it at all.
Or: Zuko is sent to assassinate the Moon Spirit, and fails spectacularly. (he doesn't mind though)

Bookmark Notes:
AU of the canon but still following the episode, but more into world building, spirits and conspiracies! Kinda like vathara's embers, bunch of ocs
- zuko is trained assassin (in secret, even to uncle), and the group/order is Wangdue. Aang knew about it (perks of 100 year)
- zuko has his Wangdue group (lady airi, kaito, yumi the yuyan archer). Wangdue is formed by fire lord, last known is Azulon.
- there's group order called Dorje- distinctive of Chi blocking (lady airi can chi block, TyLee is one)
- lady airi is Zuko's cousin from mother line (ursa)
- zuko can bend other elements, kinda like avatar but without avatar power. The reason is still unknown
- Zuko is officially spirit touched. At first seems like he knew about it from some spirit but it's just Roku. He is known as Agni's (sun)- who is missing. Uh oh.
- zuko got possessed kinda like avatar state. Yue can be too. Yue is moon touched like the show and died like original.
- zuko has animal companion, a dragon. Junsuina. Their bond is deep like Aang and Appa. Azula has dragon too (Lengku) but she is harsh to hers
- after "possession" zuko will be really weak- apparently because he is not Avatar. Still, his power is scary. Fortunately with some limit because if unleashed in full power, he will be burned to ash. In siege of the north aftermath there's even ocean+aang vs sun+zuko which is scary -

Summary
The crew is broke.
They don’t have enough money, or enough supplies, or enough rum in the galley, and Zuko is their captain. Uncle says they’ll figure something out at the next port, and that he should not worry about it because he’s “fourteen” and “too young” to do so.
(He has never been too young for this. If he were too young, then he wouldn’t be scarred and scared and scouring the scorched globe for a century-old legend, and his father would be telling him to come home.)
At the next port, he slips into town with another face plastered upon his own and two silver swords hefted across his back, and seeks gold.
or: zuko learns and relearns, trespasses earth kingdom territory, commits contrary treason through paid murder, and gains friends.
