* ''Synopsis'': The series essentially starts off with what Zuko would have done if he had found out Azula was only tricking him with regaining his honor before leaving Ba Sing Se. He initially resigns himself to his true fate in the Fire Nation, only to be unintentionally rescued by the Gaang, who rescue Iroh to be Aang's fire-bending teacher. Zuko and Iroh end up joining them, and it goes from there, spanning over several "chapters" (read: fics).

* ''Additional Info'': Writer of a compelling "Chapter 3: Fire" [[Alternate Universe Fic|AU series]], Wren originally based it on speculation of what she expected in the then-upcoming Season 3, but officially changed it to an AU once the real season started. What sets the series apart from most "Zuko joins the group" fics is that the eventual joining up with the Gaang isn't a [[Easily Forgiven|seamless transition for anyone]]; it takes several "chapters" for Zuko, even with Iroh's guidance, to really settle in among the group, and for the Gaang to realize that Zuko isn't trying to capture Aang anymore...and never really wanted to for his sake.
