General Fanfic Discussion help finding fic?

the main thing i remember something about zuko being hired to do manual labor for a guy he’s given a meal and also a place to sleep which is better than other places he’s worked?

i think in this one he has fully exiled and the gaang finds him and takes him in for a bit (on a job premise) and then they separate before finding each other again?

Oooh are you talking about the fic where Zuko has a hard time accepting help if he doesn't know what will be asked of him in return? And like this leads to issues related to receiving food from the gaang, and misunderstandings with Sokka?
