Drabble: Banner

Author's Note: So I've seen some fics lately where Zuko's the Avatar, and this is my take on that.  I suppose background is just that Aang froze to death instead of just freezing (sorry Aang),  the Water Avatar was born in the foggy swamp and never knew what she was, and the Earth Avatar died in childhood.  Still, as far as anyone knows, the Avatar disappeared a hundred years ago, and Zuko is scarred and banished as in canon.  This takes place at the same time as in canon, Aang would have been getting out of the ice.

The ship bucked and groaned with the storm.  His blanket curled up around his neck, Zuko dozed fitfully.

With a great lurch, the ship bounced off an iceberg, and Zuko toppled off his bed.  In that half-second before he hit, he exhaled, and the air hit the floor like a jet.  Before he even had time to think, he found himself rolling safely back onto his bed.

Zuko stared at the insignia on the far wall, momentarily transfixed, and experimentally twisted towards it.  A great gust sent it flapping against the wall, and Zuko closed his eyes in misery.

Zuko as an Avatar is one of my favourite ARs in this fandom. What stories are there? I have only read two and one of them is...not so good and the second is half-abandonned/updated VERY irregularly.

And i liked this, BTW. =D

Hey, I've only found two, and neither one was good, so I shan't insult them by name. It'd be one of my favorite AU scenarios too if I could find some good ones, grr. I'd even write one, but since my motivation mostly boils down to making Zuko go "Why, universe why?" some more, and I don't have a plot...

Thanks, it was fun!
