Summary
He’s driving through a stretch of woods now, with looming trees whose branches curve over him like archways with gaping black maws. It would be just his luck if a wild animal were to suddenly lurch into the road and pitch him through the windshield.
As if some wicked deity read his thoughts, a blur of green and red stumbles out of the bushes on the side of the gravel road and directly into the path of his headlights. With a hurried swear, Katsuki slams the brakes, but even his lightning-fast reaction time does not save the startled figure from taking a stomach-full of car bumper and flying backwards.
“Fuck, fuck, shit, fuck,” he’s chanting as he scrambles out of the car and over to the heap on the ground. They’re not moving.
OR:
Midoriya’s optimism & ambition and Aizawa’s unshakeable confidence in his students catch the eye of a bad actor with something to prove. In which hero student Bakugou Katsuki hits an uncannily familiar green stranger with his car and hero teacher Aizawa Shouta discovers exactly what kind of danger UA’s resident Problem Child could be.

Summary
A penny for your thoughts, my good sir? Let the light it reflects clear your worries. A burden shared is a burden halved, after all.
They say that in addition to the spirits of the world, there are also guardian spirits that watch over individuals. It is debatable whether everyone has one, or if it is just for people who have caught the spirits’ attention. The former is comforting; the latter definitely is not.
Sometimes, Iroh wants to find his nephew’s guardian spirit and throttle it.
--
Zuko and Iroh try to make a life for themselves in Ba Sing Se, but Iroh never predicted the extent to which the city he laid siege to would go to in order to cover it all up. The crimes of this war pile higher and higher, and if he can't protect the people he loves, it's about time he does something about it.
...right after he gets out of prison.
OR: Iroh's POV during the events of Stand and Deliver.

Burning Ashes To Dust (Like A Funeral Pyre) by Imaginealpha

Summary
The first lesson Zuko ever learns about firebending is that power comes from anger.
Firebenders can draw power from their pain. His whole life, Zuko is told to use his old haunts to succeed, swiping fire from the nicks in his fingers and bursting angry flames from his left eye. Azula’s cold fire comes from the scars littering her arms and the phantom stinging of her father’s backhands. Iroh, too, has little marks on forearms and hands, long faded but still burning like new when he bends them with intense fury. The nature of firebending is not so easily boiled down, though, and throughout his journey, Zuko tries hard to truly understand his pain and power in life.

Summary
This is a robbery of everything you’ve ever been. Prince Zuko, stand and deliver.
A single point of light circles around and around, never stopping, never going out. It’s fitting, given the circumstances; there’s no choice available but to go along the same track over and over again.
Joo Lee rises in the walled city of Ba Sing Se. He stands; he delivers.
