    Summary

    "Okay kids!" The teacher chirps, a young woman fresh out of college with a chipper disposition. Not yet soured by years of low income and overtime. "Don't forget, next week we'll be making Father's Day cards!"

    A harmonious chatter breaks out among the children, students of the like eagerly whispering what they had planned for their present father on this special occasion. Quickly, fights break out among the classroom. Much to the teacher's dismay, over who had the best father, or who had the best gift. The only quiet child is the one in the far back corner, where the shadows seemed to sink a bit deeper.

    Fushiguro Megumi.

    Or, Father’s Day is quickly approaching, and Megumi is faced with a dilemma.

    Summary

    Zuko wakes up the first time it happens to the smell of burning flesh. He at first thinks it’s just a lingering memory, the vestiges of a nightmare he’s had many times, but then he hears the shouts and clanging of metal that accompanies it.

    The telltale signs of a fight, right outside his door.

    So of course he does the sensible thing and rushes toward the commotion without a second thought, still in his loose bedclothes and bleary-eyed from sleep. He practically falls out of the door, stumbling right into the middle of both the hall and the battle waging within it.

    At this point, Zuko's no stranger to attempts on his life. He can handle it.

     

    Or five times Zuko's friends save him from an assassination attempt, and one time they're almost too late.

    Summary

    "Zuko's birthday!" Aang called out. "Zuko, you didn't tell us it was your birthday? We would've celebrated!"

    "It doesn't matter," Zuko said, his voice commanding, if not a bit squeaky. "I've never really celebrated my birthday, so it's not like I'm missing anything. Please, just pretend that this is a normal day."

    Hopefully, they would forget all about his birthday.

    … Hopefully.

    Or;

    The Gaang find an old calendar among the mountain of memorabilia that Zuko is burning at the Ember Island holiday house and make a startling discovery.

    Zuko, on the other hand, begins to believe they are hatching a plot to kill him.

    Summary

    "You mind telling us what happened out there?" The earthbender then questioned. "How'd you manage to fall like that?"
    "Yeah, I thought you were stronger than that," Sokka said a smirk plastered on his face. Zuko groaned, gripping his still-tingling hands. “I thought I was too,” Zuko admitted quietly. His voice was hoarse, exhaustion clear in his tone. “But... lightning damage isn’t something you can just walk off.”

    Or
    When Ozai shot Zuko with lightning, Zuko managed to redirect it. But what if, despite him doing that, the bolt still left some damage? What if because of that, Zuko's hands were too weak to hold him on the root when Combustion Man attacked?

    Summary

    The Gaang accepts Zuko's offer to take him as their prisoner. Though he is their captive, they have no intention of harming him. However, one thing that people need to survive is oxygen, which becomes quite a hard thing to acquire if you're trapped in an airtight space.

    Or
    Zuko nearly suffocates due to the Gaang's poor thinking skills.
    Or
    Zuko keeps getting himself into near-death situations because he's Zuko
