~2.5 hrs text to speech, 1st story - Where the Tulips Grow. 2nd is a short from Mai's point of view. 4th is a short Katara's Version Part 1 of the 1st story.
Skip 3rd unless series is continued as it implies strongly that Zuko is killed and Azula is put on the throne.To You, My Best by Evangeline_Douglas, Katara/Zuko (Avatar), Marriage of Convenience.
In the balloon, Zuko hadn't let himself think about what would happen if the Avatar's group turned him away, but the cold reality sinks into his bones like the mountain air, and he trembles where he stands. There's nowhere to go and everywhere to go all at once, and he promised them, promised himself, promised Uncle his repentance for Ba Sing Se. He promised to make it up to Katara.The only question is how he's supposed to do that without teaching the Avatar firebending.
(Or: Winning a war is hard. Atonement is harder).

Of Rising and Redeeming by The_Chronic_Cryptid
A post-canon Azula redemption, where Azula unintentionally and begrudgingly starts an animal sanctuary but still doesn’t understand how a couple of turtleducks somehow ends up turning into a full-blown home for war orphans.However, it becomes well-known that anyone who messes with her charges (human or otherwise) will be burnt to a crisp.
The Gaang are delighted and amused by this turn of events.

Summary
Iroh had been worried that the gentle tea server from Ba Sing Se wouldn’t survive the Fire Palace. But he can see traces of him in this young prince, this almost-Fire Lord.
Ozai didn’t crush Zuko the way he had intended. He survived. He grew strong, and gentle, and more honourable than Ozai could ever imagine.
And Iroh is so proud of him.
Follows Iroh’s thoughts on his nephew in Book 2 and Book 3 and beyond.

A Lesson of Her Own Making by chasingfigments for MuffinLance
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender
22 Feb 2021
Tags
Summary
Katara steals four more lessons that week. Four more boys around her age who know the forms but don’t know the desperation of a true fight. They are bad at anticipating her movements and her decisions because Katara will never have the luxury of learning the way they did. She fights dirty, not fair, and their pride doesn’t let them understand that they’re in over their heads until it’s too late.
They leave her scrapes and bruises and cuts that fuel her healing sessions. When those are done, she goes back to their suite and resumes putting together a combat bending style from stolen pieces and her experience in the wider world.

Summary
Fire Lord Zuko was...different.
He thanked the servants for doing their jobs. He wouldn’t get angry over accidents or mistakes, either. It was slightly off-putting, as far as Chihiro was concerned. If Chihiro hadn’t been watching, she wouldn’t have believed it herself.
She didn’t entirely believe it anyway.
Still, surely something of importance would come of the new Fire Lord’s strange behavior.
Though, to be fair, she thought to herself as a half-masked figure leapt at her from the shadows of a pillar one evening, she hadn’t thought that that ‘something’ would be an attempted coup.
(Or, in which a palace servant decides, yeah, I'm protecting this kid.)

Summary
“You dare suggest that I betray Iroh?” Fire Lord Azulon did not shout. “My first born? After the demise of his only beloved son?” The old man leaned back in his throne shaking his head, “You have made an irrevocable error here, today, Ozai. What man of honor, what brother, what Uncle, would use this tragedy, a death towards furthering our family’s sacred mission as you call it, for his own political,” He practically spat the word, “gain. No, no, Iroh has suffered enough, but you, my son, have been far too coddled.”
Zuko felt Father’s tension, but his stomach truly dropped when he saw Azula’s own worry, clear as day on her perfect actress face.
“You need to be taught a lesson,” Fire Lord Azulon decided. “You must, too, suffer the pain of losing your first born.”OR
Fire Lord Azulon, to punish Ozai, gives Zuko to Iroh

the beginning of a new and brighter birth by aloneintherain

13 Jun 2018

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.
