    Summary

    In the Fire Nation, touching someone’s hair was usually reserved for family only. Hair was a symbol of status and more importantly, of honor. To touch someone’s hair without their permission was a sign of upmost disrespect and to give someone outside of your family permission to touch your hair was considered a sign of true friendship and deep trust.

     

    Zuko had always had a fascination with braiding hair. His mother had taught him many years ago, and it was something he was good at. However, he had only braided the hair of the people closest to him, family and close friends, and only allowed the people close to him to even touch his own hair. Hair is held in high regard in the Fire Nation, and most people only allow family to touch their hair.

    But now, suddenly, the Avatar’s friends want him to do their hair.

    Or Zuko knows how to braid hair (it’s basically his love language), and the Gaang take full advantage of this.

    Summary

    Zuko realizes his destiny much earlier. As in, as soon as he wakes up in the palace after his Agni Kai and is told he is banished. Unfortunately, he's never been a patient one. So he storms right up to Ozai and tells him what he's going to do. And gets locked up for over three years. Then, one day, he's being pulled out and told he's the new Fire Lord.

    A "Zuko never meets the Gaang and suddenly becomes Fire Lord after three years of literal torture" AU. In which the Gaang doesn't know what to think of the new Fire Lord who happens to be the missing nephew of Aang's firebending teacher, Iroh constantly has a headache, and, sure, maybe the world hates the Fire Nation, but the Fire Nation LOVES Zuko, and he can work with that.
