Summary
For historical accuracy, the coup d’état was Suki and Hakoda’s idea, not Zuko’s.
Or: in which Zuko doesn’t escape the palace after the eclipse. After a few days, Ozai decides to send him to the Boiling Rock.
It doesn’t take Suki and Hakoda long to reach a conclusion: why limit themselves to escaping the Boiling Rock when they could stage a coup in the Fire Nation as well?

Summary
"We're going to be alcoholics by the time we're thirty," Sokka sighed.
"You think we'll live to be thirty?" Zuko asked, honestly thrilled. Sokka had pretty good instincts. Perhaps Zuko should reevaluate his long term goals. He could start by having long term goals.
A more likely alternative was that Sokka was just a hopeless optimist. It just went to show, you never truly saw another man until you stood shoulder to shoulder against a fleet of war balloons intent on raining death upon the city you loved.
Zuko was just a normal guy with normal interests. He liked theatre, burglary, crotchety ostrich horses, watching the Blind Bandit crush her opponents in a glorious display of skill and violence... just your standard banished prince things. It wasn't his fault he kept stumbling into rebellions and uncovering long-buried secrets. Fine, maybe freeing the prisoners was on him, but he was completely innocent of all other treason. Zuko was his father's loyal son. He'd never betray his nation.
Or:
Uncle Iroh took a more creative approach to fostering Zuko's appreciation of other cultures. Now it's everyone's Problem.- Language:

Summary
Five years after the war, Fire Lord Zuko and Metalbender Master Toph Beifong drink poisoned tea and die. They wake up in Ba Sing Se, right in the middle of the war. Being the responsible adult she is, Toph quickly forms a plan:
1. Drink tea with Uncle Iroh (Zuko included).
2. Don’t tell the GAang, because mystery is fun.
3. Watch everyone lose their minds trying to figure out what’s going on.

Summary
Aang's energybending fails, and the war is lost. But before the gaang can blink, they wake up in the past, on the day that Katara and Sokka found the Avatar.
The war's a lot easier to win when your biggest enemies are on your side from the beginning.
Ft. the gaang's antics, loads of dramatic irony, and literally the entire Fire Nation being confused as to why, when, and how the banished prince got happy emotions and friends...
