“You found the Avatar,” the man says. It’s not a question.

Summary
Zuko was ten when his soulmate called for him.
But at fourteen he resolved to never utter the words himself, to never call for him – even if he was about to die. He would rather die than call for his soulmate.
or;
Soulmate AU: Once in a lifetime, when in danger, you can call for your soulmate and they’ll come to you – after the threat desert so do they.

Summary
What if Sokka took up a power that he did not understand? What would it cost? And what would his family do to save him?
What if Azula had been shown another way? If someone had helped her, could she find her own redemption?
Underlying theme: The dereliction of duty and the consequences thereof, and that if you hold to your convictions and are resolved in your duty you will find salvation.
This takes place in the universe in which Aang did not use Sokka's jerky as fire stater in episode three, and the butterfly effect is strong indeed.
Constructive Criticism welcomed.

Summary
Ninety-six years after the last appearance of Sozin’s Comet, a freshly burned and banished thirteen-year-old Prince Zuko discovers a strange boy frozen in an iceberg.
When Zhao interferes with Zuko's plans to deliver the Avatar to his father, Aang helps Zuko and Iroh escape. They take refuge from the Fire Navy in the abandoned Air Temples, where the young Avatar searches for any remnants of his people that he can find. Along the way, Aang teaches an indoctrinated Zuko about the true nature of the Air Nomads, and the Fire Prince must come to terms with the fact that everything he has been taught was a lie, while the Dragon of the West must face the sins of his past.
Eventually, Aang and Zuko become close friends, and Zuko begins to feel things he has never felt for anyone before. However, Zhao will not give up easily, and will do whatever it takes to capture the Avatar and his traitor accomplices.
(A retelling of AtLA exploring the friendship and eventual romance that could have developed between Aang and Zuko if the circumstances of their meeting had been different.)

Summary
Zuko successfully captured Aang during the siege of the Northern Water Tribe. And he is so close, so close to returning home. Well, he doesn’t have a real plan, and the Avatar has escaped him before. But at least he is closer than he has been in a long time.
And because people usually can’t see spirits, Katara, Sokka and Yue never have a light to guide them and never find Aang and Zuko.
OR
What if Aang never got rescued by his friends during the siege of the North in S1 E20?
