I'm looking for fics in which Zuko becomes Fire Lord but isn't part of the Gaang.

It could be an invasion-AU, when he's captured and crowned Fire Lord without joining the Gaang (e.g., towards the sun, there is no Fire Lord), or it could that was never an enemy of the Gaang because they never met (Fractures, The Fire Lord Burns).

I just wish he'd ultimately remain Fire Lord

I'm sure there are definitely some fanfics worth reading; maybe on ao3, maybe on ff.net

Do you have any reccomendations?
