Do you have good darkfic recs?
Sure, I’ll share some of my favorites. They’re all about Zuko because I’m obsessed
(warning: these are indeed dark and contain rape/noncon)
My friend just finished Avatar: The Last Airbender, and asked me for some fic recs. So I guess you're getting some too.
Embers by Vathara - Amazing AU of the series that focuses on Zuko and his personal growth. More in-depth worldbuilding than almost any other piece of fiction I have ever read. No sex scenes, but lots of discussion of what 100 years of war have done to a world, and it's not pretty. Rape is discussed in one chapter, but there is nothing graphic. If you read nothing else on this list, read this one. AO3
Drinking Tea and Waiting by Kimberly T - A short fic that looks at why Iroh might have not accepted the throne of the Fire Nation. Short and sweet, with a little action and a lot of Iroh being Iroh.
Go (and Burn) by Twin Enigma - AU one-shot focusing on Zuko. A little ambiguous in ending, but very good.
Salt the Earth by Seito - One-shot Zuko AU. Spite can carry you far, or Zuko is a little less loyal to his abusive father.
The Avatar and the Firelord by alkatie - AU one-shot. In a world different Avatars have come and gone during the century of conflict, the new Firelord trying to create peace and learn about the other nations. Katara is suspicious.
Another Brother by AvocadoLove - AU, where Zuko is taken from a captured Fire Nation ship as a child, and raised with Sokka and Katara. Amazing work looking at what would have changed without Zuko in the Fire Nation. Anything AvocadoLove writes is amazing.
good bones by metacognitive - One-shot looking at Sokka's life after the series. "You're a good man, Chief Sokka," Tonraq says. Sokka laughs. "I will be," he tells them, "I promise you that."
One by AvocadoLove - Okay, this one is really, really dark. Not a lot is described, but enough is, and more is implied. Under Ba Sing Se, Azula kills the Avatar and imprisons her brother. Has a little hope at the end, but read with caution and take care of your self. Still really, really good.
The Problem with Zuko by AvocadoLove - AU one-shot. Iroh is Firelord and Prince Lu Ten has just captured the Avatar and his allies. Zuko is put in charge of the Avatar's captivity, and begins to wonder about the truth of what he has been told his whole life. AO3
Dragons in the Sun by donahermerphy - AU story about Zuko. Ozai favors a permanent form of "banishment", but the spirits disagree. With dragons!!
Breaking Point by Kryal - AU one-shot. After the Agni Kai Zuko is placed in the Home Guard. After watching how his father treats the Home Guard, Zuko can't bear it anymore.
The Dragon King's Temple by Kryal - AMAZING ATLA/Stargate crossover set about a year after the defeat of Ozai. Zuko and Toph meet Sam Carter and Janet on a Go'auld ha'tak, and hijinks and emotions ensue. From this fic alone I want to find a way to watch Stargate.
Looking Glass Wars by Lady Azar de Tameran - AU two-shot. After Firelord Azulon is assassinated, Zuko runs for his life. AO3
Let it Flow Through You by JaggedCliffs - Zuko never manages to produce lighting, but electricity is more related to lightning than most believe.
kintsugi by discordiansamba - Zuko gets dumped in the Earth Kingdom. Stealing from a nobleman might be the best thing he ever did. Or, Toph never got a life-changing field trip, so now she gets to hog him.
To Build a Home by orphan_account - Zuko is trying to build the Fire Nation into an honorable nation. The upper echelons of the Fire Nation court do not want this. Zuko tries to go it alone.
Two Drama Queens Loose on a Shirshu by mindbending - Zuko flees the palace after his Agni Kai and runs into June and Nyla. Zuko knows the tax code. June needs an accountant. And an apprentice. Assumptions are made, and some of them might even be accurate.
The Adventures of Kuzon and Li by whatthedubs - General Li Hudong and his wife have always wanted children, but never been able to have them. The Fire Nation sends children into battle.
Eight Principles of Yong by psocoptera - How Zuko saved the day with the power of good penmanship.
The Dragon Incident by wrongfun - When Aang, Katara, and Toph have things to do, they leave their children with Zuko. Cue chaos.
A Tale of Earth and Fire by chiiyo86 - Toph and Zuko meet on their wedding day, make friends, and it all takes off from there. Adorable friendship fic.
Equivalent Exchange by Haicrescendo - Lu Ten makes a promise for his cousin's life. Lu Ten dies. Lu Ten comes back. AU.
Carry On For You by Haicrescendo - Pokemon/ATLA crossover. Sokka is a Pokemon trainer who challenges the enigmatic gym leader of Vulca, Zuko. He fails, but keeps trying, and starts to realize that Zuko isn't the jerk he first appears.
Safety First by Haicrescendo - Zuko sleeps poorly. Zuko doesn't trust anyone. He has never considered these two facts might be connected. Zuko and Toph friendship fic.
No friend like a sister by Dissenter - When Ursa dies in childbirth, Zuko becomes the most overprotective big brother ever.
Crossing the Same River Twice by quodthey - Toph turns 14 the same way she turns 13, by drinking tea in her parents' house.
Crack the World in Half by Aliemur - Toph is the Avatar, but she is still a little blind girl. Zuko helps as he can.
a nation, held by snowdarkread - The Fire Nation values it's children. Ozai burns his son's face off in front of the whole court. Rumors begin to spread.
Candles and Boring Games by AlexiHollis - Azulon punishes Ozai by giving Zuko to Iroh. The royal family of the Fire Nation is not nice, but even they have things they will not tolerate.
The Avatar Makes Three by AvocadoLove - Aang dies while energy-bending Ozai. The Avatar Spirit is reborn... in his three teachers.
Dragon of the Yuyan by ooAwkwardPenguinoo - A traumatized Zuko sneaks into Pouhai Stronghold and ends up adopted by the Yuyan archers. Includes plotting, pranks, sign language, and accessibility.
Salvage by MuffinLance - AMAZING!!! Zuko is washed overboard and rescued by the Water Tribe. Hakoda slowly becomes less concerned for himself and his crew and more concerned for the boy who is clearly safer with his enemies than with his father.
Towards the Sun by MuffinLance - Zuko is imprisoned after Ba Sing Se. Ozai is captured, Azula goes insane, and Zuko is the only member of the royal family who is an option for the throne. He tries his best, but a flying bison loaded with teenagers landing in a courtyard is NOT helping.
Speech Acts by ferricent - Bending is like sign language.
Once a Man, Twice a Child by Themanofmanyhats - Told through Firelord Izumi's perspective. It begins with a little forgetfulness...
What We're Given by Haicrescendo - Zuko finds some surviving air bison on his travels. He can't bring the airbenders back, but he can save their friends.
Doe-eyed by OldeShoestrings - Azula is 11 years old when her younger brother Zuko is born. She will do anything to keep him safe.
half in the shadows, half burned in flames by r_astra - Zuko tries to kill the Firelord. He ends up in Boiling Rock prison. Hakoda sees a teenager his son's age.
The Family You Choose by TunaFishChris - A platonic soulmate fic. Zuko's father burned off his soulmarks when he was an infant. This does not stop his soulmates from finding him.
read the inscription by suzukiblu - Song and her mother are healers. They don't have a lot, but when they find an injured boy with a massive burn scar on his face, they do their best to take care of him.
Zukka WIP Fic Recs
The following fics have all been updated in March 2022, and I am thoroughly enjoying all of them. ❤️
Burning Bright by @erisenyo
Available on Ao3, WIP, Series, Explicit, Canon Divergent, Canon Typical Violence and Child Abuse, Underage Sex, BDSM Undertones, Angst, Hurt/Comfort
Wordcount: 769,467
Zuko and Sokka write letters to one another and form a connection. Doesn't stray extremely far from canon, but enough to keep things interesting. A lot of very sweet moments and also many very hot and steamy ones (guaranteed to make you fan yourself while smiling until your cheeks hurt!). The way the author writes relationships - both romantic and otherwise - is super compelling, and this series is really driven by excellent character development.
All's Fair by @lovelyelbowleech
Available on Ao3, WIP, Series, Mature, Canon Divergent, Canon Typical Violence and Child Abuse, Torture, Zuko/Zhao (Non-con), PTSD
Wordcount: 233,750
Zhao survives the attack on the North and takes Sokka and Zuko as prisoners on his ship. This one is quite dark at times and there's a lot of wump, but the slow build of the relationship between the boys is great and it's not lacking in comfort! A lot of badassery in this one, and there are some great funny moments too - I love the way the author portrays the characters. A great blend of hurt/comfort and extremely well-written!
Chained by blueeyedarcher
Available on Ao3, WIP, Explicit, Canon AU - No Bending, Graphic Depictions of Violence, Allusions to Torture, Allusions to Suicide, Major Character Death (not the GAang - so far)
Wordcount: 358,478
Sokka takes Zuko (a Fire Nation spy) back to the Southern Water Tribe as a PoW. Not quite as dark as the summary and tags might imply. Many sweet moments. There are other AUs of the fic within the series, such as a shapeshifter AU, which is also very good. (Also: Pirate Queen Yue - need I say more?)
I would also recommend this author's other works!
Spirit's Tether by Spheral3
Available on Ao3, WIP, Gen, Canon AU - Soulmates, Slowburn
Wordcount: 259,011
Mostly canon compliant - except Sokka and Zuko are soulmates, which does change some things! Again, many sweet moments (there are themes in what I enjoy reading haha), and it's friends to enemies to lovers!
There's Bound To Be A Ghost At The Back Of Your Closet by anactualforrealadult
Available on Ao3, WIP, Gen, Modern AU, Dadkoda, kid!fic, Trans!Zuko, Allusions to Prostitution (not Zukka)
Wordcount: 31,799
Zuko raises Kiyi, with some help. Starts when Zuko is a teen and progresses from there. I love Dadkoda and Dad!Zukka fics, and this is a wonderful combination of both!
How You See Me by @mysticpandora
Available on Ao3, WIP, Explicit, Canon Divergent, Canon AU - A/B/O Dynamics, MPreg, Slowburn, Major Character Death (not the GAang - so far)
Wordcount: 117,566
Alpha!Sokka and Omega!Zuko. Zuko ends up injured and stuck in the Southern Water Tribe, and is helped by Sokka and his family. There are some very cute pets in this one, and Sokka works hard to make Zuko comfortable and win his affections. I know ABO isn't for everyone, but if it floats your boat then I think you'll enjoy this fic. And the Air Nomads haven't all been wiped out in this fic, which is lovely to see.
While Mighty Oaks Do Fall by @witchofendor
Available on Ao3, WIP, Teen, Fire Sage Zuko, Zuko joins the GAang early, Canon Divergent
Wordcount: 115,020
Ozai sent Zuko to become a fire sage when he was a kid, and now canon events are happening with that backdrop. This is funny and heart-warming, really tugs at my heartstrings. Extremely well-written and the author creates a depth to the world-building that is very compelling to read.
Guidance Extended Universe by jovialJuggernaut / @jovialjuggernaut-draws
Available on Ao3, WIP, Teen, Alternate Universe - Soulmates, Canon Divergent
Wordcount: 269,795
This fic doesn't stray extremely far from canon, but Zuko and Sokka were guided by a spirit to one and other when they were kids because they're soulmates. This does change events somewhat. Also, some Jet in this which is fun!
2 Bros on an Island by HawksEyes /@thehawks-eyes
Available on Ao3, WIP, Mature, Slowburn, Canon Divergent, Homophobia, Torture, Drug Use, Allusions to Sexual Assault/Rape/Non-con, Allusions to Prostitution (this does not happen to Zukka)
Wordcount: 134,016
Zuko and Sokka are stranded on a desert island together pre-canon up until canon events. Then canon events progress, with some divergence. Also, Mava the iguana parrot is a hoot!
I have also really been enjoying this author's other works!
hold in, hold on by argentoswan
Available on Ao3, Mature, Modern AU, College/University, Eating Disorder, Minor Character Death
Wordcount: 69,806
Sokka is raising Katara, who is 6 years old in this. He's really struggling, but is starting to accept help from his friends. Quite a bit of angst, but also sweet moments and this author is an excellent writer.
Would recommend this author's other works as well!
Leaving It All Behind by Sreeder
Available on Ao3, WIP, Mature, Canon Divergent, Canon Typical Violence and Child Abuse, Torture, Prison, Zuko/Zhao (Non-con), PTSD
Wordcount: 259,817
Zhao survives the attack on the North and takes Sokka prisoner. Zuko has been Zhao's prisoner since before Sokka was captured. They are both in a prison camp as a result. A lot of angst in this one, but Zuko and Sokka's relationship is so great it makes my heart hurt. Also, Jet is around!
ATLA Fics that I HIGHLY HIGHLY Recommend reading at least once (mostly abt Zuko...oops)
1) not as far west Words: 3,852 Chapters: 1/1 Rating: Gen
The two most wanted enemies of the Fire Nation escape house arrest. They also happen to be teenage boys.
Zuko and Aang take a break from firebending practice.
I live for Aang and Zuko's friendship in this
2) (life happens) wherever you are Words: 159,941 Chapters: 10/10 Rating: Teen+ Pairings: Sokka/Suki, Mai/TyLee, Implied Bato/Hakoda
On the day before Ba Sing Se falls, Katara decides two things: 1) not to stop for a cup of tea; 2) consequently, the fate of the world.
Behind the walls, Zuko loses sleep, runs errands, contemplates treason, and drinks a lot of hot leaf juice—not necessarily in that order
I love everything about this 💕💕
