Summary
“Actually, I have a question,” Toph said to Katara, “if you like him that much, why did you object to having him in the camp?”
Katara looked at her confused. “What do you mean? I invited him when we planned this trip and you agreed.”_________
When a seemingly impossible romance stuns the group, Sokka suspects something darker is at play. Reality is cracking at the edges, and the truth might be stranger than anyone imagined.
Canon Universe/Crack Utopia with a hefty dose of character growth and therapy for everyone in need, featuring Zuko on a motorcycle, Katara drinking coffee at 4AM and Sokka getting arrested for plundering the cookie jar. Ozai was and stays an asshole.

Summary
She used to be able to handle this, um, level of excitement. And it even used to be fun, flirting on the sofa before ducking into her room, pulling off her pants, touching herself like mad. But that was before her nerves fritzed. Lately, she’s been waking up in a half-naked sweat, hands reaching fruitlessly between her legs. She can’t even hold pressure long enough to get halfway there.
Dealing with a serious nerve injury, Katara hasn't been able to use her wrists for months. She can't waterbend, or write, or... do other stuff. What's a girl to do?
Or: the one where Aang is so, so down bad for his roommate and has no idea how to ask if he can help.

Summary
“Clearly,” he started, and yeah, he was definitely talking out of his ass, “You are bringing me and Zuko, established boyfriends, along with you and her to Republic City, a city full of art and beautiful sunsets. After spending the week with us exuding romance in the city’s hotspots, Ty Lee will have no option but to--”
“You guys can’t play boyfriends,” Mai interrupted with a firm shake of her head.
At this, Zuko couldn’t help but feel indignant. He crossed his arms in the small space between him and Sokka, no longer thinking about the too-close contact with his study buddy.
or; Zuko and Sokka team up to try and get Mai and Ty Lee together by fake dating.

Summary
Zuko is a banished prince. He doesn't know why Father let him get picked in the Reaping, but he hopes that winning the Hunger Games will be enough for his father to take him back.

Aang is the last airbender. He's also the Avatar, and he is furious at what's happened to the world in the last seventy-five years. But if he reveals himself, the world's last hope will be lost, so for now, he plays along with the Capitol's game.
They each have their destiny. But this is the Hunger Games, and unless they're willing to sacrifice their principles, their sanity, and their innocence, they won't make it out alive. At least, that's what the Capitol wants them to think...

Summary
They're practically strangers, Mai thinks as she looks at him. Strangers, with new faces and new stories, but still with all their memories together - what was she even supposed to do with that?
(Did he even remember their time together? She wonders.)
(She does.
Remembers it every day.
He'd been her first friend - and her best friend.)
(And then he'd disappeared, and she'd never known why.)

Their story doesn't start here - but here, it begins all over again.

Summary
Zhu Li Moon is contracted for one last job with her boss and ex-fiance Varrick. One last job, and then she can leave his ass in the dust and start her own film production company. The job? Production and editing of a second season of Varrick's show, Republic City Bachelor. Romance is the furthest thing from her mind.
Mako just wants his friends and family to stop hounding him about his perpetual single-ness. That's the only reason why he applied. He doesn't actually expect to find genuine romance, it's reality TV.
What could possibly go wrong?

Summary
He paused a moment, let her finish, then cocked one incredibly bushy eyebrow at her as she turned back to him. “Need a job?”
Talking to strangers with white vans on the side of the road about her very personal, very recent lack of a job was crossing several lines of comfort. “Um - yes, somewhat. But I’m fine.”
Just as she was snatching up her helmet to flee, he rummaged around in a pocket of his frayed jeans for a moment, his tongue stuck out in concentration. Like a magician revealing a rabbit from his hat, with a flourish Bumi produced a small rectangle of paper. “Well, if you want a job, let me know. I’m looking for an all around handyman for a school. A private school.”
“Um.” He handed her the business card, one end torn, the opposite end folded over. A mysterious brown stain nearly concealed the business name - Republic City Boarding School. “Thanks.”

When Asami accepts a job at an isolated, hidden boarding school, she finds more than she bargained for - as well as everything she's been searching for.

Summary
Thing about Pandora, was that no one ever thought to bend there. Benders weren't sent on off planet assignments, seen as assets of the home world, and countries scrambled to get as many as possible in the armed forces. No one would waste them on exploratory missions. Non bending soldiers severed as fine enough cannon fodder to protect the researchers. That was the first reason, the second was no one knew just how a different planetary conditions would effect someone's bending. Pandora itself had different rocks, the air was comprised of different gases, eclipses happened on the daily. The only constant for a bender would be that water is present on world, but the planet also had multiple moons, so who knows how that would effect a waterbender.
So, Jake was under the impression he traded his bending for a new set of legs and a new life when he became one of the people. It wasn't supposed to come back to haunt him. However, Sully blood is one stubborn son of a bitch and well fate a damned sense of humor as it laughed in Jake's shocked face.
---
Or, Bending is a thing, and Jake gave his son more then just his hands and dashing good looks.
