Summary
They say that Fire Lord Zuko is blessed of the flames.
They say he is Agni's chosen.They say that he is the culmination of years of pain and tragedy,
forged by the grace of the sun itself, for fire had destroyed enough in the hands of worthless disciples,
because fire is life itself and the people had forgotten.Because when the Fire Nation was burning the world to hell,
a lone prince of thirteen had stood his ground.They say that when Ozai had held his hands to his son,
had tried to smother the child in flames, he would not burn. -

Summary
For ten years Zuko couldn't manage to summon a single flame. It wasn't until he accidentally bent air that he realised why; airbenders can't bend fire. And Zuko was an airbender.
or
zuko uses his airbending to pretend to firebend and his new personal connection to the airbender genocide kicks zuko off on a big fat field trip of self discovery where he realises that fire isn't the only element he can fake bend, competes in earthbending tournaments with toph, joins the freedom fighters, becomes a kyoshi warrior and joins the gaang

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
“What do you plan to do now that you have found the Avatar’s bison? Keep him locked in our new apartment? Should I go put on a pot of tea for him?”
-Uncle Iroh, Lake Laogai, Season 2 Episode 17Zuko unfolded a small, fuzzy green blanket and tossed it over Appa’s head like a hood. “And this is Appa’s favorite blanket, it’s too small for him, obviously, but he really seems to like it and—”
Appa licked Zuko, knocking off his hat and leaving him dripping. Zuko quickly grabbed his hat and slammed it back on his head but the damage was done—the Avatar had recognized him.
“I can’t believe it,” Aang breathed, staring at Zuko wide-eyed.
Zuko stared back, trying to decide if he could make the jump out the window. The drop would be pretty steep, but he really didn’t want to fight off the Avatar in their new apartment with its nice furniture and Uncle’s tea collection in the corner and—
“Appa found me a firebending teacher!”

Summary
Ursa doesn't find out about Ozai's plan. Ozai goes through with it. Zuko is dead, Azulon is dead soon after, Ozai is Fire Lord with Ursa at his side.
Agni is not so happy to find his champion killed at age eleven.
So instead, he sends the boy off on a spirit quest to prove himself worthy of life once more.
But Raava's champion is not in contact, Oma's is too much, Shu's is in a bad position, Athe's is too, as is La's...
So, Agni sends the eleven-year-old spirit of Prince Zuko to the champion of Tui, Princess Yue, the moment that Avatar Aang reawakens. The problem? Zuko's a SPIRIT. And a child. And the only one who can see him is Yue.
Basically a "Ozai actually does kill Zuko but Agni is having none of it so when Aang returns he uses the boost in spirit magic to send Zuko's spirit to Yue. Yue takes this eleven-year-old-boy-that-only-she-can-see and decides 'yes this is my new emotional support firebender' and the two get closer and closer until the Gaang finally arrives in the Northern Water Tribe and shit hits the fan" AU. So, all-in-all, a Yue-Zuko-bonding adventure featuring confused bb! Zuko and will-kill-anyone-and-everyone-who-hurts-her-little-fire-ghost-boy! Yue

Summary
“I’m so proud of you, my nephew.” Uncle cups Zuko’s face in his lined hand. The gesture is so tender, his palm so warm, that Zuko has to take a fortifying breath against the sudden swell of emotion in his chest.
“I want to be a good leader, Uncle,” Zuko says. “I want to look after my people.”
“You will,” Uncle says. “You are, nephew.”
In a new era of peace, Zuko works to be a very different Fire Lord than his forefathers. Based on this tumblr post.

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.
