Summary
"We're going to be alcoholics by the time we're thirty," Sokka sighed.
"You think we'll live to be thirty?" Zuko asked, honestly thrilled. Sokka had pretty good instincts. Perhaps Zuko should reevaluate his long term goals. He could start by having long term goals.
A more likely alternative was that Sokka was just a hopeless optimist. It just went to show, you never truly saw another man until you stood shoulder to shoulder against a fleet of war balloons intent on raining death upon the city you loved.
Zuko was just a normal guy with normal interests. He liked theatre, burglary, crotchety ostrich horses, watching the Blind Bandit crush her opponents in a glorious display of skill and violence... just your standard banished prince things. It wasn't his fault he kept stumbling into rebellions and uncovering long-buried secrets. Fine, maybe freeing the prisoners was on him, but he was completely innocent of all other treason. Zuko was his father's loyal son. He'd never betray his nation.
Or:
Uncle Iroh took a more creative approach to fostering Zuko's appreciation of other cultures. Now it's everyone's Problem.- Language:

Summary
Ozai never gives Zuko the suicide mission of finding the Avatar.
Zuko, banished and having seen the cruelty of the Fire Nation, gives up on trying to earn his father's love. The crew, long since worrying about committing treason, joins him. Over the years, a few more strays join the Wani, which has become the Jasmine Dragon.
Three years later, and the Jasmine Dragon is flourishing. Zuko is fine. More than fine, actually. Things are good.
Until the Gaang shows up and everything goes to shit.

The Awkward Turtleduck and his Band of Misfits by JustWatchMe

Summary
The Agni Kai happened 2 years earlier than in canon. After fighting for his life from his wounds, Zuko wakes up miles away from home with an impossible mission and a ragtag crew of the worst soldiers in the navy. He sees this and decides he doesn’t want to please a father that would do this to him, so he ignores his quest. Banished and without purpose, things aren’t looking good for the once prince of the Fire Nation. But hey, at least he has his uncle with him.
*Basically, a story where Zuko realizes he’s been abused a lot earlier and says ‘Fuck you’ to Ozai and his quest. He decides that we wants to stop the war instead and he and his crew begin to fight the Fire Nation. When they find the Avatar, Zuko is overjoyed. The only problem is Aang is under the impression Zuko’s trying to capture him.

Summary
Aang claims they rescued Zuko from the collapsing Fire Temple.
Zuko, presently tied up, considers himself captured by the avatar.
The irony is not lost on Sokka.
Katara hates this entire situation.[I will try and update on mondays but don't bet on it]

Summary
Aang occasionally sees a strange Fire Nation spirit dressed in ceremonial robes. It's not until the day of the Black Sun that he wonders if they're a real person.
It's not until Iroh tells him about the haunted palace that he realizes it's a ghost.
