Zuko knows from Azula's own mouth that Fire Lord Azulon ordered Ozai to sacrifice his first born son in order that Ozai might redeem himself in Azulon's eyes. He in fact expects his father to kill him, but something else happens instead. (AU spinning off my one-shot To Lose or to Gain.)

Child soldier program within the Fire Nation. Princess Ursa will be having the first grandchild of fire lord Azulon, and as a gift, he sends his son, prince Ozai, to find an appropriate bodyguard for the mother of the nation. After prince Zuko was born, princess Ursa became pregnant once more. When she gave birth to her second. Not only did she suffer from a burn from the newborn, she didn't feel the motherly love she felt for her firstborn to her second. She couldn't hold her or even look at her. But she's not a cruel woman, so she found a wet nurse and let the other woman raise her. Well, that was the plan until for a whole day straight the baby girl wouldn't and couldn't stop crying. Even Ozai heard it and came to yell at Ursa for failing as a mother. When the child had finally shutten up, Ozai turned to see the young guard gently holding the baby. From that day onward, you, who was nothing but a child soldier, became the guard, the nursemaid, and mentor for the new princess. 『~』『~』『~』 DEAD DOVE DO NOT EAT Trigger Warning: NOT for the faint of hearts. - Grooming - Child Abuse - Tags will be added as it goes

The Southern Water Tribe Firebender || Zuko x Reader by NatalieThatOneNerd

(Y/n) has had a hard life. Her mother was killed, father went to war, and had to protect her twin brother and little sister Sokka and Katara for as long as she could remember. The only problem is she is a Firebender. Her father made her keep it a secret but when they find a boy in an iceberg her plans change. What will happen when her family learns her secret bending abilities? What will happen when she is sent on an adventure with her family to end a war she never wanted to fight? What about the fire prince destined to find her and Aang to restore his honour? Oh... did I mention she's part of a greater story then meets the eye? The great Southern Dragon prophecy might come to bite her in the ass later. ------- "Are you sure you were born to a water tribe family?" "I've got a twin brother" "How does that even happen?!" "I'm a mess!" "I can see that" ------- (Language) Season One 🌧 ✔️ Season Two ⛰ ✔️ Season Three 🔥 ✔️ (I own nothing)

The Fire Nation understands the need for a male heir to Crown Prince Iroh after the death of his son Lu Ten, yet they're far from thrilled with the choice being Prince Zuko, the son of the man who tried killing Fire Lord Azulon, forgetting the boy's father tried killing the young prince as he might be just as unhinged as not only his father but his own sister. Disclaimer - I don't own Avatar: The Last Airbender. This was written for Open Novella 2024 and is a giftfic for my friend Kelsey; it's also an alternative universe to my fanfic series To Lose or To Gain where the Fire Nation doesn't know how unhinged Ozai is and instead thinks he willingly gave his first-born son to his older brother. As for the prompt, I'm using prompt ninty-nine which resulted in this AU popping into my head, "The royal family needs a male heir to the throne, and they're willing to accept any boy, even if he's born to their least hinged relative."

Mia, and her brother Kyo, are finishing their marathon of Avatar: Last Airbender, When they are asked a question: To go in the world of avatar, or stay and know life as they know it, they chose Avatar, and their lives would never be the same. Will there be consequences, or would anything change? From the Siege of the North, to the Battle that would change the fate of the Avatar World, Mia and Kyo must survive. And hopefully get the prize they have wanted. * "Then you must choose." His voice and face utterly serious. "I want to remember my sister." "And the other?" That question stunned me. I wanted to say Azula. Yet... I could imagine a life without her. Where I never knew her, where I never fell in love with that dangerous beauty. "I want to remember... * The story does change, please just bear with it. And if you feel like skipping go to "Two Sides" and The "Crossroads of Destiny."

peacekeeping- zuko by simplyystrawberryy

A girl is born in the Fire Nation with the ability to bend three elements and a strong spiritual connection. It's me, Y/N. I was meant to be used as a weapon to destroy the Avatar but like Iroh says, destiny is a funny thing. I am now his friend, his spiritual guide, his Protector, and his non-biological sister. ******* "If honor is the most precious thing to me, then you are my honor." ******* "Your lips don't always tell the truth, but your eyes do." ******* "Because I love you....idiot" ******* "Don't let the past define you. This life is meant to forgive." ******* Cover art by Bryan Salvador Beware of my horrible writing, it needs A LOT of editing. Also, I don't own Avatar, or the characters, plot, or dialouge. This is simply fanfiction. There's a lot of chapters, but they're kinda short. There's also some art here and there, all credits to the artists, I do not own any of the pieces.

Water Lily in a Sea of Fire by DelphianOracle

Years before the Siege of Ba Sing Se, General Iroh discovers a young girl among the remains of a decimated Water Tribe village. Raised in the heart of the Fire Nation, she grows close to the young crown prince and accompanies him and Iroh on their adventures. ________________________________________________________________________________ **This is an old story I had written in my head years ago when the series was still on Nickelodeon, and most of what I had originally written out was dialogue, so I apologize for any lack of detail or imagery-I don't have much time to devote to it as I'd like. I've read quite a few fanfic stories out there and this one isn't very good in comparison, but I'll post it for others who might find it entertaining--it was certainly entertaining to write. Also, I understand a lot of readers don't like stories that follow canon. This one does follow the show for the most part, but eventually digresses, follows, and digresses again. Disclaimer: I own nothing of the world of ATLA, although a few characters were seriously harmed (or killed) in the imagining of this fictional story.

The Eternal Flame (ATLA) (FIRST PERSON POV) by alittleyellowwitch

"I don't want Ozai to die. I just want him to face the cruelty he's thrown the world and suffer, just like the world has. And death doesn't seem like an equivalent exchange." Kira is a Dragon Child, a child born with a spirit of a Dragon within her. Given extremely strong firebending abilities, she finds herself as a tool and weapon for Fire Lord Ozai himself. However, little does the Fire Lord know her only dream is to find the Avatar and help him bring down her own master. * Book One to the Dragon Child series * * An Avatar the Last Airbender Fanfic * * First Person POV *

"My feet aren't broken." ~~~ COMPLETED (I only own Ivana and her family, the rest belongs to the Avatar the Last Airbender creators) (WARNING: There are a few swear words.

Aang believes he has to save the world on his own, but he isn't alone, he has his Fire Angel at his side. The Avatar and Fire Angel are not only destined to be with each other but are destined to save the world together. Allies will become enemies and enemies will become allies.

This story follows the first born child of the Olo'eyktan and Tsahik of the Omaticaya clan. Older sister to Neteyam, Lo'ak, Kiri, and Tuktirey. She was raised to be the perfect balance of Neytiri and Jake, maybe a little too perfect. Follow her story as she has to give up the only life she has ever known to keep her people safe. --**-- My grandmother notices my frozen state and makes her way to me. "My child..." I turn to look at her, "do not be afraid of life, do not be afraid of fate, be afraid of doing nothing to change it." As the words leave her lips, it sparks a dying fire in my heart. A fire I thought would extinguish along with my title. I smile and pull her into a hug, "I will find my way back to you one day..." I whisper in her ear. "I know, and when you do, you will be a different person. I cannot wait to meet her." With her final words, and a newfound light in my soul, I turn to follow my family down the pathway. I reach the end and mount Kxitx, and with one last look at my clan, I pull my headpiece over my forehead, yip to signal takeoff, and burst from the ground like a sapling reaching to the sun. And we were off. --**-- If you don't like the story, feel free to not read it. Don't waste your energy commenting you don't like something. Just move on.

Bad Choices (Zuko x Reader) by Katjaface

Book 2! Iroh left you with these words: "Make the choice now, before you become attached. Lose the child now, or risk loving them with all of your heart and having to make the tough decision to lose them later. Because a child of the Fire Lord may not have any choice but to succeed them. And if you have not figured that out yet: it can be a very deadly position." And you chose to keep the child and hide them away from the Fire Nation. But what you didn't expect was to lose Prince Zuko as well. But you didn't lose him to your decision. You lost him to his own bad choices.

[OC IN AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER] - 𝗦𝗟𝗢𝗪 𝗕𝗨𝗥𝗡 FANFIC "𝙄 𝙜𝙤𝙩 𝙢𝙮 𝙤𝙛𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙚𝙧 𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙗𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙢𝙮 𝙞𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙧 𝙛𝙡𝙖𝙢𝙚 𝙨𝙖𝙞𝙙 𝙨𝙤" ---------------------✸✸✸✸✸✸✸✸✸✸-------------------- Water, Earth, Fire, Air. Born to serve the Fire nation, that's just how it works here. But this one... he was different; He was special, born with extraordinary ability. He was born to be a great general, an idiot general. He's a fool of the highest order. A waste of potential, serving a cruel and ruthless nation like the Fire Nation. How can someone so talented be reduced to such a pathetic state? Is there an underlying reason for his foolishness, some kind of hidden reason that has led him down this path? Besides that, he often makes foolish decisions. Someone said he's simply a victim of circumstance, with no hope of escaping this fate. Is there anything that can be done to change this course, to save this gifted individual from a life of misery? Now, don't you worry. That hidden agenda in his mind is relatively benign - just trying to survive in the Fire Nation like everyone else. But instead of being guided by fear, he's just wandering about in his own little world, in a la la land, unafraid to be bold but not defined by his ego. Rather, his actions are fuelled by boredom and an insatiable curiosity that makes him seem troublesome to some.

your love is my oxygen - Zuko x reader by eggsinapott

A Zuko X Reader story. As always, I wrote this for myself but you can read it, too, if you'd like. Y/N was an air bender, she was tasked with watching over the avatar as a punishment for something that she had done; something that the air nomads frowned upon her for. When she discovered what had become of her people, she was furious- but not at the Fire Nation, she was furious at Aang, because Aang was supposed to protect them, and he didn't. But was it Aang that she was really angry at?

Follow Azula's journey as she learns suffering, gain and loss and most importantly, love and fights alongside Iroh and the White Lotus to take back Ba Sing Se.

When he was sixteen, Lu Ten thought the Fire Nation would change the world. At age thirty, he realized it wasn't the world that needed changing, right at the same time some of his not so clever life choices started catching up to him. It was time to become wise, like someone he greatly admired, even if he couldn't do anything with said wisdom. Disclaimer - I don't own Avatar: The Last Airbender. This is both a giftfic for a good friend of mine, KelseyAlicia who encouraged me to go the route of Lu Ten/Ursa in my To Lose or to Gain series, but also an ONC project. While parts of this story arc are AU to where I intend on taking the To Lose or to Gain series others are not. The prompt I am using is number thirty, "'Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.' - Rumi."

Dao and the Freedom Fighters by certkidwhocantdomath

A young, lost, scared Zuko finds himself alone in an Earth Kingdom forest and accidentally joins a gang of other kids fighting against the Fire Nation. He lives there for six years until the Avatar shows up at their hideout and end up getting recruited to help stop the war that his family had been razing across the world for over a hundred years. Or, Jet finds Zuko, takes care of him and recruited him into the Freedom Fighters. Plus, good dad Ozai, Fire Lady Ursa, evil Iroh and alive Lu Ten.

Flames Of Fate (Zuko X Reader) by ThyatiraKaupa

There is an old folklore about the Children of the Forest. They were mortal spirits who were the First Benders with the ability to travel freely to the spirit world and to the human realm. Each with their own element of air, water, earth and fire. They were one with their elemental animals and travelled the spirit and human realm freely. Fire Lord Azulon was one of the very few humans aware that this folklore was more than a mere legend, although slightly altered, but factual. He sought out dragons and in one of his searches he found a Child of the Forest with a Fire Element by sheer unfortunate luck and after defeating her, he imprisoned her. (Y/N) was seen as the key object of victory within the Fire Nation and a driving force of power to their legacy and supremacy but to Zuko she was not a weapon of mass destruction or a spirit creature; she was so much more. As the Sozins Comet approaches and the Avatar Aang prepares to face Firelord Ozai with the help of his friends, it's clear that Zuko and (Y/N)'s paths are more far apart than they know. (Y/N) has to decide; stay in the human world with him and risk it all or return home to the spirit world where she belongs. ♥╣[-_-]╠♥ACTIVE UPDATES TWICE A WEEK♥╣[-_-]╠♥
