When Zuko is adopted by dragons in fanfiction, it has the potential to completely rewrite the story. He would no longer be bound by the same rules and expectations as a human in the Fire Nation. The dragons could teach him different forms of combat, not just related to firebending. His loyalty might be divided between his new dragon family and his old human connections. This could lead to internal conflicts within Zuko. Additionally, his appearance might change over time, taking on some dragon - like features. All of these changes would create a very different and exciting story compared to the original Avatar plot.
It could mean a whole new world of possibilities for the story. Zuko's journey would no longer be just about reclaiming his honor in the Fire Nation. Instead, he could be on a quest to understand his new dragon family and their ways. This would likely introduce new locations, perhaps dragon lairs or hidden islands where the dragons live. His relationships with other characters would also be different. For instance, his relationship with Iroh might become more complex as Iroh tries to understand Zuko's new path.
