    Summary

    In the Fire Nation, every future is decided long before it is spoken aloud.

    [Y/n] grew up inside that certainty, trained not as a warrior or a ruler, but as a strategist shaped to stand beside the next Fire Lord and quietly help guide the course of an empire. However, after his uncle's execution for opposing Fire Lord Ozai, his family is forced into exile, and the boy who once studied Pai Sho across from Crown Prince Zuko vanishes from court life entirely.

    Zuko, once a frustrated boy who hated losing at games he didn't yet understand, grows into a scarred banished prince searching for his place in a world that rejected him before finally returning to his destined role as Fire Lord.

    The memory of those childhood matches, of a calm boy who always seemed to see too many moves ahead, fades into something almost unreal. Almost.

    Almost a decade later, everything changes when their paths collide again.

    Because some games never truly end.

    They only wait for the players to return.

    Summary

    "The first time Captain Levi tells Deku that his cleaning’s 'not horrible' Deku cries, because this is the highest praise any soldier can ever be given in the Survey Corps. The others clap enthusiastically as he sobs into Petra’s shoulder."

    At USJ, Midoriya Izuku, instead of landing in the Flood Zone, is dropped into the world of Attack on Titan, promptly smashing his head on a rock and losing all his memories. Shiganshina has just fallen, and he wakes up on a refugee boat heading to Trost with no idea who he is or how he got there.

    Deku No-Surname is a former member of the Trostian Mafia, a street rat, and a valued member of Special Operations Squad Levi. His plans for the future haven't really surpassed "try not to die" until he finds himself being dragged into keeping Eren Jaeger, his fellow (quirked?) buddy from being executed by their totalitarian government.

    And then they're at war.

    He didn't really sign up for this.

    When he returns to his homeworld, he's... different. Sharper. Not the sniveling little kid 1-A remembers him as. No one knows where he's been, or where he got his scars, and he's not telling.

    All he knows is that if he's going down, he's dragging the League with him.

    Summary

    (Formerly known as Into the Deku-Verse)

    Shota sneers at the teenager across from him. His defense raises like the hairs on the back of his neck as he glares steadily, ready and waiting for whatever will come from this encounter. He narrows his gaze when the teen shifts; just the thought of sharing this rooftop with Japan's most notorious villain makes his skin prickle. “Deku.”

    “Y-yes!” the teenager cries out in relief, taking a small step towards Shota, “I’m Deku! I’m so g-glad you—”

    “Deku,” Shota growls darkly, flicking out his capture weapon hastily to snag the villain before he can make his move. He's quick to tug it taut, leaving no room for Deku to escape. “You’re under arrest.”

    “I-I’m what?! W-wait!”

    tl;dr

    Hero Course student Izuku comes to the realization that he is definitely not where he's supposed to be.

    Summary

    The story took a different turn after the Siege of the North when Zuko was captured by the Water Tribe.

    A lot of prisoner trope, found families, and not-adoptions... And Zuko having to deal with more trauma than in the canon
