Summary
"When I saw her in that courtyard, I thought I was dreaming or something." A smile was plastered on his face, but while Sokka looked like the epitome of happiness, Suki was anything but. "I mean, what are the odds? I didn't even expect her to be there."
Suki's grip on the doorway tightened. He hadn't known. He hadn't been looking for her. She hadn't been a goal. Just… a bonus.Or
Suki overhears Sokka and Zuko's conversation and learns that Sokka had forgotten about her.(At the same time, Zuko is dealing with a specific fire bender misunderstanding the relationship between the trio - he thinks they're dating)

Summary
Left behind at the Misty Palms Oasis, Katara waits days for Aang, Sokka, and Toph to return. But when bounty hunters close in, her only chance at escape comes from the last people she ever thought she could trust: Zuko and Iroh.
Now traveling under false names, bound by a fake marriage, and with no room for mistakes, Katara finds herself on the road to Ba Sing Se. What begins as mutual distrust slowly unravels into eating side by side, sleeping even closer, and something far more dangerous: comfort. She thinks it will end once they reach the city, but in a place crowded with millions of refugees, and stuck in the Lower Ring, she doesn’t have much hope of finding the others. With no leads and nowhere else to go, she resolves to wait for her friends to find her.
But in their cramped apartment, days turn into weeks, and Zuko and Katara begin to settle into something that almost feels like domestic bliss. It isn’t real. Or at least, it isn’t meant to be. But the longer they stay, the harder it becomes to remember where the act ends and something real begins.

Summary
The Avatar has returned 100 years after he vanished, and although rumors claim he's nothing more than a 12-year-old boy who only knows airbending, the Fire Nation has prioritized hunting him down.
In some parallel world, Prince Zuko would be part of that hunt, but in this one, he died at the tender age of 12 when, still recovering from the Agni Kai against his father, he was attacked and killed in his royal chamber. A month later, Lee arrived at Pohuai Fortress, and three years later, the blue spirit helped the Avatar escape from the same fortress.Series

agni has (not) abandoned him [rewrite] by iliwaren
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender (Cartoon 2005)
10 Sep 2025

Summary
He survived two-and-a-half years as General Fong’s training dummy, months as Zhao’s prisoner, and weeks as a captive aboard the Chief of the Southern Water Tribe’s ship, all the while refusing to let his father’s cold, firelit eyes be the last he saw of the man. There was no way these children would keep him from going home.
"Yes," Zuko lied. 'I’ll help you defeat my father."
Or: After three years of imprisonment, Zuko escapes, just in time to arrive at the climax of the Invasion of Ba Sing Se. From there, he travels with the Avatar's team - first as a political prisoner and then, maybe (and indignantly), as Aang's firebending teacher.
(Zuko wonders why Agni let him suffer in the cold for so many years only to make him the Avatar's mentor. Destiny is a cruel, complicated thing. It takes him a while to figure out his.)

Summary
[“Here.” The boy holds out a cigarette for him. “You look like you need it.”
Sokka takes it with a grateful smile and is just about to get his lighter when the boy holds out his finger with a small flame flickering above it.
“Oh.” He brings the tip of his cigarette above the flame to light it. “Thanks.”
“No problem.” The boy jerks his head back towards the porch, a clear invitation for Sokka to join him, then he turns around and walks back to the bench. Sokka follows him without a word.]
OR
Sokka’s life slips into meaninglessness after Yue’s death. Nothing seems fun or exciting anymore, he mostly just allows himself to be dragged along with whatever his friends want to do in a desperate attempt to find something to hold onto, though it’s all mostly futile.
Then he meets Zuko, who’s moved into Yue’s old place. Zuko, who’s interesting and strange and kind. Who doesn’t judge Sokka even when he probably should. Who maybe gets it in a way no one else around him does. -

Summary
The story takes place five years after the original events of ATLA.
What would happen if Aang breaks out of the iceberg five years later? How would the world look, and more importantly how would the characters change?
21 year old Zuko has been out at sea for the last six years, since his banishment. One day he sees a clear blue light near the South Pole. Naturally he investigates, not in the hopes of regaining his honour. That is something that he lost hope of long ago, instead he does it for the sake of his crew of misfits. Little does he know that the strange blue light is about to rock his fucking world upside down.
Disposition:
* Chapter 1-10 The prisoner
* Chapter 11-28 The chase
* Chapter 29-49 Ba Sing Se
* Chapter 50-60 The guardians
* Chapter 61-70 The fate of the world
(Later chapters are generally longer)Mind the tags! A lot of focus on the spirit world, the avatars and what’s needed to end a 100 year old war. Moreover it's centered around Zuko, Katara, Mai, Ty-Lee and Toph. Aang and Sokka are important, but not main characters.
Please note that this is a WIP, chapters are posted consistently every Saturday.

Summary
To Zuko, life is a stage and an important play is taking place in front of him. He believes that it is his destiny to keep the story on track no matter what and ensure everyone gets a happy ending. Things would be so much easier if the characters would stop dying, killing him, and/or ending up in some sort of catastrophic situation. It doesn't really matter, he will reset the stage as many times as it takes until everything is perfect.

Summary
What? Zuko’s mind swam. He was banished? The avatar…but the avatar was gone? He hadn’t been seen in one hundred years.
“Your uncle tried to accompany you, but the Fire Lord has decreed that he is too useful to the nation as a General and has reinstated his position. He has not been allowed to see you.” The voice sounded hurried and urgent. “They are not allowing me to come on the journey and tend to your injury either.”
Zuko was injured. His father had burned his face. He was banished, he was injured, and he was close to death. But Zuko was sure of at least one thing: He would survive. He had to. He was going to capture the Avatar and regain his honour. This was his last thought before he slipped into unconsciousness. A promise to himself and his nation.
When Zuko loses the Agni Kai he is branded as a traitor to his nation and banished. The Fire Lord decrees general Iroh too valuable to be allowed to accompany his disgraced nephew. He is abandoned instead - left to fend for himself in a fire nation colony.Series

Sokka’s days in Ba Sing Se begin to blur together, but everything changes when one day fate (in the form of an angry ostrich horse) drops him into the mysterious Five-Seven-Five club. On the surface the club is dedicated to the art of haiku, but they may be more connected to the war than it initially seems.
To find a way to contribute to the war effort Sokka will need to learn the secrets of Ba Sing Se, but he can't seem to shake the mysterious Blue Spirit.

Summary
There’s a little boy crouching at the edge of the turtleduck pond, watching the turtleducks.
Iroh’s breath catches in his throat, and for a single moment he thinks that it’s Lu Ten, but the boy turns his head, and Lu Ten’s name dies away in Iroh’s throat before he can call out.
Zuko hesitates, gaze flicking between Iroh and the turtleducks.
