Summary
Harry Potter was a weapon. Not because of a soul piece, or a talent, or sacrifice, or love. But because he was raised to be one.
He’s just… not quite the weapon Albus expected.
Harry is not the Boy Who Lived, but Dumbledore has big plans for him anyway. Also Snape did not want a child, especially not this child. But Harry has plans for him anyway.

Fire Lord Azulon names Zuko as his successor.
This does not fit with Ozai's plans.

Summary
Ursa smiled at him. “Can I hug you, my sweet boy?”
Zuko felt his throat tighten. He nodded quickly, suddenly aching for the warm, comforting embrace he remembered so perfectly from the bright spots of childhood memory.
Without another word, she opened her arms, and Zuko shunted forward on the couch to nestle into her side.
She chuckled, wrapping her arms around him like he was still small enough to fit completely in her grasp, and pulled him close.

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.
