Sokka is a dumbass by Fuel_my_dreamsss1806

Summary
Sokka has always known he’s a dumbass. He just never realized to what extent until now, with him on top of Zuko, drunk as fuck. In hindsight, maybe he shouldn’t have drank so much.

Summary
(Zuko/OC • Slow Burn • Action & Romance • Canon Divergence)
They didn’t speak as the last flicker of the palace vanished from view, the silence heavier than the smoke in the air.
"There’s no turning back now," Zari breathed.
"Good," Zuko answered, eyes fixed on the horizon. "I’m not looking back."
Zari was born the Fire Scion, destined to serve the Fire Nation’s conquest. She watched Prince Zuko’s exile from the stands and spent three long years apart from the boy she could never forget. When he returns a hero, both are forced to play roles they no longer believe in- but the Day of Black Sun changes everything.
Together, they’ll abandon the palace, join the Avatar, and risk everything to end the war.

Summary
Sokka and Zuko were stuck in a cave; they thought it would be better if they just stayed in since it was already dark, and the possibility of predators finding them was higher than the possibility of getting home safely. But how did they get there? Well, that 's easy. Sokka’s family, more specifically, Bato and his dad, are scheming against his well-being. Zuko had been staying in the South Pole for a few days, since they were organizing a new treaty between nations, and they thought it would be a great idea to send them fishing, alone.

Summary
"This isn’t a game, it’s her life. I’m not about to let Yue in the hand’s of a fuck know’s who from the nation that just a few years ago was trying to dizimate our people. If no one else’s gonna look out for her, I will, and if that means keeping you in line, it’s exactly what I’m gonna do.”
he’s too stunned to make up a comeback, even a little toutched for all the care he seems to hold for her, if not for the way he basically told zuko he wants his head on a platter. With a frown, the prince walks off, leaving zuko alone in the hallway staying perfectly still, eyes wide, slightly parted lips in shock, and all he can think about is... Well shit.
_
to strenghen the ties between the fire nation and water tribes an arranged marriage between Princess Yue and Prince zuko is formed. Sokka cannot be the only person who sees the problem here. -

Sokka is killed, this is the story of Zuko fixing the world in his name, but never himself. Love like this is stronger than life, fate and faith.

Summary
Zuko knows his father does not believe the Avatar is alive, he does not truly expect him to find them. He's being punished for his disrespect, for not living up to what his father demands. He might deserve it, but he won't spend his life looking for someone who hasn't existed in nearly one hundred years.
If he's going to be a disappointment, he may as well do what he pleases, and if that means joining a pirate crew, chasing some spirits and blowing up whatever Fire Navy harbors are on the way, so be it.
-or-
A few months after Zuko's banishment he finds himself on a pirate ship.
____
Sokka/Zuko is endgame, but it's the slowest of slow burns.
MCD is not either of them.
There are original characters, I promise they don’t suck — I’m also apprehensive about ocs in fanfic but hopefully you end up loving them as much as I do —

Summary
Born beneath the Northern Water Tribe's shimmering lights, Prince Kai’luk (pronounced: kai-luke) was destined for greatness, but never how he wished. A prodigy waterbender and Northern heir, Kai’luk’s power comes not only from the moon and ocean spirits, but from something ancient and forbidden. As the Fire Nation's war rages beyond the North's icy walls, Kai’luk is torn between duty and destiny, tradition and freedom, love and survival.
When fate intertwines his path with Aang, Katara, Sokka, and the Avatar's journey, Kai’luk is thrust beyond the frozen seas. As he joins Team Avatar, new choices, alliances, and a love that could melt or shatter his heart resurface from his past.
Haunted by secrets, marked by an upside-down crescent moon, and burdened by royal expectations, Kai’luk must discover how to balance his identity as both prince and individual. His journey through conflict and self-discovery will reveal the truth about himself and his destiny.
From the icy North to the burning heart of the Fire Nation, one prince's journey will redefine balance, destiny, and love.

Summary
Being the apprentice of the Dragon of the West entails a lot more than just drinking tea and playing Pai Sho, unfortunately.
Shia has lived a miserable life, restricted by her noble grandfather's draconian training and her mother's everpresent disapproval; treated like a criminal by her own flesh and blood for sins that are not hers, she has never been more than a pawn at best. Her salvation comes to her in the form of Iroh, the General of the Fire Nation, who takes her under his wing once she is sent away by her family to serve as a child soldier.
Under his tutelage, she becomes a fierce warrior with a calm mind. Years later, she joins her mentor and his nephew in their quest to capture the Avatar.
A quest that alters the course of Shia's life irrevocably.

Summary
Two years into getting banished and tasked with the impossible–finding the Avatar–Zuko unexpectedly gets sick with a high fever.

Overcome with new revelations, Zuko spends another year at sea searching for not only the Avatar, but also someone he knows he’ll learn to love, a boy from the Southern Water Tribe. That’s where he’s searching when a blast of light brightens the sky.

Summary
Zuko had known for some time now. The feelings had crept up on him slowly, quietly, over the past few months. They were undeniable. He had tried to ignore them, bury them deep within, but they only seemed to grow stronger. She was everything—strong, compassionate, beautiful—and he couldn’t stop thinking about her. But Katara was the Avatar’s girl, and he was the Fire Lord. There was no place for someone like him in her world, no room for his feelings. He told himself it was foolish to hope.
Yet, just when he thought he had it all figured out, Katara made a choice that no one, least of all Zuko, saw coming. Her decision would change everything, pushing them both to face what had been simmering between them for far too long.

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

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.
NOW COMPLETED.

Summary
In one perfect moment Azula had achieved everything she had ever wanted. She had taken Ba Sing Se, ended the Hundred Year War, killed the Avatar, and convinced Zuko to return home to take his place as their father's heir.
Now, she had finally proven herself to be more than her mistakes, more than the weakness that her father had always been able to see at the core of her. Now, her father would finally have to respect and reward her, now she could finally have Ty Lee.
And in an instant, it had all come crashing down. Zhao had come back from the dead and, acting on her father's orders, stripped her of her command. Ty Lee's mother had stolen her away to secure a marriage to a man she hardly knew, and worse yet, Ty Lee had gone willingly, no longer able to bear seeing the person Azula had become.
Both heartbroken and distraught Azula and Ty Lee must now return home to the Fire Nation to face their destinies...but destiny has a way of turning out in unexpected ways.

The final part of my very long TyZula redemption arch series.

Those eyes could get her anything, and she would likely never know. His lips came up in an awkward smile, hand wrapping around her wrist to gain her attention.
