    Summary

    He kicked himself, mind going into overdrive as he saw Sokka’s brow furrow. He’d thought it had been too quiet for him to hear, but maybe he was wrong and Sokka had heard and now knew, and was confused because he was trying to figure out how to let him down gently, and Zuko had just ruined everything-

    “I have absolutely no clue what you just said,” Sokka announced after a moment, dropping his sword to his side. “I couldn’t hear you over all the wheezing.”

    or,

    Five times Zuko says I love you and Sokka doesn't hear, and one time he does.

    Summary

    He knew what this was.

    He’d expected this, they all had to some degree, though none had predicted it would happen as soon as a week after. None of them had prepared for it, leaving Zuko alone. Defenseless, one could argue.

    But Zuko hadn’t lived this long for no reason, had clawed his way out of ashes and blood to sit upon this cursed throne, and he would defend it with his life, if that was what it took.

     

    Or

     

    Zuko faces his first assassination attempt as Fire Lord.

    Summary

    During one of Zuko's middle-of-the-night palace wanderings, he accidentally stumbled upon a secret passage that leads to a cell containing one very much alive Lu Ten.

    That was two weeks ago. Iroh and Zuko are delighted, and Sokka is delighted that they're delighted.
    Only problem is? Sokka and Lu Ten do not get along.
    At all.

    ... Until an assassination attempt comes a little too close to success, leaving Zuko badly injured.

    It turns out Sokka and Lu Ten get along pretty well when they're going on a roadtrip across the Fire Nation to hunt down the person who almost killed their precious turtleduck.

    Summary

    Ming may have a problem with the new Fire Lord, insofar as that he’s decidedly not General Iroh. This makes her sudden promotion from her old position as a lowly prison guard to the head of the royal guard a bit baffling and, frankly, uncomfortable.
    An assassination attempt on Fire Lord Zuko cuts her pity party short.

    “Why are you looking at me like that?”

    “Like what?”

    Or:

    Zuko goes through the motions of realizing that Sokka loves him, and takes way too long doing so.
