Summary
An agonizing pain had seared through his skull as he dragged himself forward. His claws were replaced by the helpless pudgy fingers of a human's. His legs didn't move the way his own did as he crawled to his knees.
Faintly, he could still feel the swishing weight of his tail and the raw exposed nerve in his broken horn to the open air. This lanky form was unfit for anything Zuko was accustomed to as he forced himself to wobble to his feet, searching blindly through the rolling fog that filled the tower.
Distantly, he heard the screams of startled people as they cried out.
"It's avatar Roku!"
Zuko cocked his head, twisting around as his gaze swiveled in search of the Avatar. His right eye widened when he spotted his imposing figure standing in the doorway of the temple tower. A blue light pulsed off of him that radiated immense spirit energy.
"Roku?" Zuko croaked miserably, this human voice was uncomfortable in his fragile throat. It felt raw and smoky as he breathed the syllables past his lips. Sparks licked off his tongue as he grimaced and hissed his displeasure at the sound of more shrill human screams.

Summary
A series of deleted scenes, oneshots and alternate outtakes for events from the fic Chained. This is all the wonderful ideas, backstories, short scenes and alternative "what if" scenarios I wanted to add in or couldn't choose between what I decided for in canon and what I had to set aside. Some of it is hilarious, some of it is angsty and some of it is an in-between.

Mind the tags. Each chapter is a different scenario and will have warnings in the author's notes.Series

Summary
When his kidnapping turns into an assignation plot, Prince Lu Ten assumes he's done for. The last thing he sees as he dies is a strange man in a doorway.

Meanwhile across the city, Detective Mako is avoiding everyone and everything as he throws himself into his work. A call from General Iroh makes for an interesting case, sure to keep him busy.
Agni made a mistake.
The spirits had a mission but one small prayer may have thrown it all off.
Iroh's world is crashing down around him, Mako has never felt more alone, and Lu Ten should have died. Three men from different times, and different back grounds have been set on the same path of destiny, a different one then planned, but still one that may change them all, forever.

Summary
The man stared for a long time. The smile he bore had been completely wiped clean as he studied the scarring. Zuko’s skin itched with anxiety at the odd attention he was given and shot a scowl at the warrior, startling him out of his thoughts. The man offered an apologetic yet awkward smile as he patted his chest and started to speak. It took Zuko a moment to realize that what was being said was a very horribly butchered attempt at Fire Nation formal language. A horrendous introduction.
“My name is Sokka, son of Chief Hakoda.” He introduced with what the savage may have thought was casual ease judging by the sideways smile and the warmth in his eyes. Then proceeded to ask, pointing at Zuko to get his meaning across. “Your name is Li, right?”
‘Okay so they don’t know who I am.’ Zuko didn’t let his sigh of relief show as he nodded slowly in confirmation.
Or
Zuko slips into the scouting party that is sent on a mission to gather intel on an Earth Kingdom encampment only to be ambushed by Water Tribe warriors and taken as a prisoner of war. Zuko finds himself masquerading as Private Li, the Fire Nation scout as he receives a one way trip to the South Pole.

Summary
'For I Adonai am a jealous God, avenging the sins of the fathers unto the sons unto the third and fourth generations of those who hate me'.
In one reality Azulon disposes of Ozai before Ozai can try to dispose of him and seeks to salvage his failed eugenics experiment. For Princess Ursa this leads to the most wonderful scenario she never dared imagine.
For Azula and Iroh it leads to the slow realization that in the end the worst monsters of all are those who are convinced that their deeds are just and righteous no matter what they are or how they act.

Summary
Katara was too young to fight in the war, but victory still took a heavy toll on her family. Years later, on her 16th birthday, one last tragedy leaves her completely alone and desolate, with only one bright spot: Zuko, a golden-eyed stranger that helped her through the worst night of her life.
Now living with Baroness Hama, her husband Baron Yon Rha and their children Hahn, Mai and Azula, Katara’s new life becomes hell. She longs for freedom, and yearns to find Zuko again...
A visit from the crown prince of the Fire Nation to the Baron’s household may provide her with the perfect chance… Or push her into a path she never expected, laden with misunderstandings and ceremonies, old promises and new friends, and court intrigues interwoven with lost family history. But among all that, her chance at love seems uncertain. -

Summary
A stolen wife, a world rebuilding after a century of war, two children of royalty fighting on opposite ends of the war. Excuse for invasion or not, the wife who left the Northern Tribe Chief will be reclaimed, even if the poles of the south, and the Capital City of the Southern Tribe, Annakpok, must melt.
An AU of the Avatar series with events inspired by the movie Troy and their versions of the Illiad. There will be differences, in both characters and events, with emphasis on key characters, battles, war, strategy and hopefully some the nuance within.
While serving in similar roles to the Illiad/Troy counterparts, The Avatar characters are very much themselves and not heavily influenced by the Illiad characterizations.

Summary
The first time they met was innocent enough. It might have meant nothing.
The second time never should have happened.
The third time they couldn’t even blame fate.
The fourth time, though, was something else entirely.Aged up, modern AU. A Zutara love story (of course) with plenty of tropes and (hopefully) less angst (don't worry tho, there's still angst)
It was comfortable, but it didn’t mean anything. When Zuko finally felt exhaustion pull at his tattered edges, he stood up slowly. Kat looked up and gave him a little wave over the top of her book. “Good night Li,” she said. He must have imagined the sparkle in her eyes. It was after midnight. No one’s eyes sparked after midnight.

Summary
Hakoda looks over at the fire nation military plans scattered across his table, turning to watch the prince of said nation sitting calmly in the chair across from him. He asks the only other question that he needs to know.
"Why?"
Zuko takes in a soft breath as he contemplates his words. In truth, he's been contemplating how to answer this question ever since he decided to turn his back on the only home he's ever known.
"Because my father is-.. a bad person. But I... am not."
It's taken Zuko a long time to be able to say those words and actually believe them.
---------Zuko gets a chance to do things right. He does not intend to waste that chance this time.
