Summary
“Your dad,” Sokka starts, then swallows hard. “Your dad dueled you, burned half of your face off, and then banished you because you spoke when you shouldn’t have?”
Guilt festers and bubbles like black tar in Zuko’s chest. “I didn’t just speak. I questioned and insulted one of his highest-ranking generals—but the man was planning a massacre! He shouldn’t have—” Zuko clamps his mouth shut, his teeth clicking together, and swallows thickly. “I mean. I found the tactic he proposed very startling, but it wasn’t my place to question such things. I’m sure he had his reasons.”
“Tui and La what the absolute fuck,” Sokka whispers.
[Zuko gets imprisoned with Sokka and Katara during the winter solstice, and some very unfortunate things come to light. Alternatively: the gaang

The Blue Spirit Resides Within You by satoshi413

Summary
After the Agni Kai, Zuko is going to die from his injuries. Iroh begs for the spirits to intervene--and the Blue Spirit answers. It saves Zuko, but irrevocably binds them together, changing Zuko into something no longer quite as human. The Blue Spirit has its own motives, and under its guidance, Zuko grows disillusioned with the Fire Nation during his three-year exile.
When he finally discovers the Avatar, Zuko's mission isn't to capture him--it is to help him bring balance to the world. But he didn't plan on falling in love with him along the way.

Summary
“Blessed Spirit, we thank you for the gift of this child’s life. We are forever in your debt.” The whole village is kneeling now, even the tiniest toddlers flopped down on their stomachs doing their best approximation of a bow. “Please, won’t you give us a name to call you? We would like to properly express our gratitude.”
Oh.
Well shit.
(Where Zuko saves a little Earth Kingdom girl from drowning, the villagers think he's a Spirit, build him a shrine, and long story short, a fake story about the Blue Spirit who dances with dragons suddenly becomes very real.)

Summary
Nearly a century after the last appearance of Sozin’s Comet, Fire Prince Zuko, thirteen years old and freshly burned and banished by his father, discovers a strange boy frozen in an iceberg.
When Admiral Zhao interferes with Zuko's plans to deliver his prisoner back to Royal Caldera City, to Zuko’s surprise, the young Avatar offers to help him and his uncle escape. Taking refuge from the Fire Navy in the abandoned Air Temples, Aang insists on searching for any remnants of his people that he can find, to Zuko’s chagrin. Along the way, however, the indoctrinated Fire Prince begins to learn the truth about the Air Nomads and the War, while the Dragon of the West is forced to face the sins of his warmongering past.
As the months go by, the two boys eventually form an unlikely friendship, and Zuko begins to experience feelings that he has never felt for anyone before. However, Zhao will not give up easily, and will do whatever it takes to capture the Avatar and his traitorous accomplices.

Summary
Zuko has always had this instinct to protect his sister. He's hunted the Avatar for three years for this very reason. He has to get back to Azula.
But what will he do when that same instinct presents itself when he comes face to face with the Avatar? A child, one who needs his protection far more than Azula ever did.
