Fics like close, but no cigar (zuko's impressive collection of near death experiences)

Zuko wakes up the first time it happens to the smell of burning flesh. He at first thinks it’s just a lingering memory, the vestiges of a nightmare he’s had many times, but then he hears the shouts and clanging of metal that accompanies it. The telltale signs of a fight, right outside his door. So of course he does the sensible thing and rushes toward the commotion without a second thought, still in his loose bedclothes and bleary-eyed from sleep. He practically falls out of the door, stumbling right into the middle of both the hall and the battle waging within it. At this point, Zuko's no stranger to attempts on his life. He can handle it. Or five times Zuko's friends save him from an assassination attempt, and one time they're almost too late.
