Bruce Wayne adopts a child on impulse... and then another... and then another.
He doesn't know what he's doing, but somehow it doesn't end up too bad except for the fact that his kids think he's a vampire.

Summary
“You remember him,” Chit Sang sounded surprised.
“I remember all of their names,” Zuko admitted. While he was on the ship, his father had sent him every death certificate from the 41st division. There was never any other note, no words from the Fire Lord, just a piece of paper with the name, age, and rank of the soldier who died. Zuko had kept every single one on his ship, reading over every single one and committing their names to his memory. He couldn’t stop them from dying, but they were what motivated him to keep moving, to get back his honor so that he could help prevent deaths like theirs.

Chit Sang's brother fought in the 41st division. Unknowingly, Zuko had become a beacon of hope to those in the Fire Nation whose family had perished in the needless war, to the people who wished for a Fire Lord who will fight for their people instead of power. Chit Sang feels the need to let Zuko know this. -

Summary
At nine, she gets four rounds in before being disqualified. She grumbles and groans about it, heads out to the mountains and practices, practices, practices. She’s going to win this. She’s going to show her parents, show everyone, that she’s not incapable, not helpless, not fragile.
The earth sings. Toph moves with it. Practices with badger moles and with random challengers. Falls and skins her knees and gets back up, feels the dirt and the sweat, feels the validation of being treated like an equal, of having people fighting her with their all. It hums inside of her and grows and grows and grows, and it makes her feel powerful.
If her parents ever realize she’s missing, they don’t ask.

Summary
Toph laughs, because of course she does.
“Scar, huh?” She asks, voice as bright and teasing as it’d been throughout the play, and Zuko hates how his heart drops at the sound of it.
“Must be pretty noticeable,” Toph continues, ignorant to the shame and hurt that wells within Zuko’s chest at her words. “But I bet it looks badass!”
Which… Wait, what?

Summary
The Fire Nation has only rebelled once in its long history. They are a proud people, and a loyal one. They do not turn against their own for no reason. They protect their own.
Especially their Prince.

Basically this was a What if the Fire Nation said Fuck Ozai and rebelled AU. along with a sprinkling of world building built in. Enjoy! -

Summary
For his first thirteen years, Zuko was raised in a palace. And yet somehow, it's the three years outside the Fire Nation that seem to count more – at least to the palace staff, who act like he's been raised by fox-wolves.
At first, this only annoys Zuko.
Until he begins to think that the Fire Nation needs more than a formerly-banished prince.

Summary
Zuko wants to do right by his people; if only his people would believe him. (Although, he would prefer if he could help after breakfast.)

Summary
All Zuko wants is iced cream. And if he uses some Blue-Spirit sneaking skills to get to iced cream, well, that’s better than the entire palace waking up just because their Firelord had a midnight craving (better for him, less awkward for him, at least, in theory). Rated T for swear words.
