Summary
Zuko is banished and starts at the Western Air Temple, as we all know. But a single discovery alters the course of his journey, because how can it not change when he has a secret dragon egg to take care of? Follow Zuko through the years of his banishment before Aang wakes up as he makes friends, important discoveries, and waves.
(And then how that changes the way things play out after Aang wakes up.)

Summary
“I’ve always felt that night doesn’t fall. Night rises.”
— James Turrell
Having been killed mere moments after birth, there wasn't much Zuko could do. His mother could do. His uncle or cousin could do.
But the Blue Spirit could achieve feats people could only dream of.

Appa and Momo Screwed the Timeline by Keetajet for blossomberries
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender
20 Oct 2022
Tags
Summary
”The balance is gone. Avatar Aang has died and the cycle is broken.” Old-man-Aang-without-the-arrows. Momo screeched, desperately trying to reach him before the dream forced him away and he woke up.
“The other bonds are gone. His bending masters and friends have also perished during this war.” Tall-and-fierce-face-painted-Aang murmured, looking resigned and less fierce.
Female-Aang-with-arrows flashed her blue shimmered gray eyes at the frantic Momo with a calm, shrewd look in her gaze that reminded Momo of Sokka, “Not all of the Avatar’s bond has perished.”

There was a boy who was meant to burn, and a world that forgot why it feared the flame.

Summary
Azula was born a fire bending prodigy, a killer for the fire nation, the perfect princess and ultimate warrior. In all her fourteen years of life, she had never known love, any thought of such an emotion was weakness, until she met the last air bender. Now after successfully infiltrating Ba Sing Se she is planning the most important military operation of her life, and can't stop thinking about her worst enemy. On the other side of the city, Aang faces many struggles. One of them being his position as Avatar and becoming the hero the world needs him to be. The other, how do you tell a girl you like her? how do you ask her out? And what do you do when that same girl won't stop trying to kill you?

Bookmark Notes:
Not only does this story present the most realistic, most compelling Aang characterization I've ever had the pleasure of reading, and not only does it provide better post-war worldbuilding than the actual canon material, but it also taps into the ethos of trauma, healing, love/friendship, family of choice, and growing up. One of the most harrowing facts of life that we all come to understand with age is that life is merely a cycle of growing up again and again and again. We are always and forever coming of age; as the past stretches farther into the distance behind us, and the details blur, the things we thought we might have learned come back. We are always re-learning. But, this story tells us, this reality is not something to fear or to dread. "Life is suffering, and regret, and limitation, and I celebrate it with every breath I take."
This fic bleeds compassion, and it is as much a journey of healing for the reader as it is for our protagonist. The amount of care that has gone into thinking through all angles of this story is astronomical. From asking and, if briefly, attempting to answer, the hard questions of how one person (or an entire people) might recover from generations of violent cultural extermination, to navigating the delightful messiness of sexuality, romance, and the lack thereof (thank you especially, author, for your Toph Beifong. I hope every one of us who needs an Aang in their life finds one).
As I read this, my only sense of the passage of time in the real world was my growing sense of hunger and thirst. I blinked, and the clock had moved forward two hours; I had not noticed. Reading this was a kind of therapy, especially at the time and place I find myself in now; adrift, haunted by the feeling of regression, of aging backward, of thinking "I thought we were past this?"
These periods of grief and pain and confusion will ebb and flow with time. It is hard to recognize in the moment that this too shall pass, but reading stories like this remind me that I really am not alone, that this indeed is not forever, and that there will always be new stories to read that show me otherwise.
Thank you.

Summary
“I want you to make me a promise, Avatar Aang,” Katara whispered. This time, when she placed her hand on top of his, he didn’t pull away. “When this is all over, when the war is won… Promise me that you’ll grieve.”
(alternatively: grieving is hard. aang’s friends work harder. a series of missing/expanded scenes from a:tla exploring aang’s grief through his friends’ eyes.)

Summary
an ATLA modern AU where everyone is a huge nerd, and the friendships and relationships that form between the gaang and the fire nation gang.
a long walk across a bunch of different genres, characters, pairings, and themes. mostly about growing up smart and neurotic and traumatized, plus also falling in love across class differences. hopefully characterization is pretty close to canon even if we are far afield events-wise at this point.
endgame couples that i know for sure (if you care to spoil things not yet written) are sokka/zuko, suki/mai, and aang/katara.

Summary
Set in a non-bending AU, Azula and Katara are emerging Pai Sho prodigies, destined to eventually battle for the title of world champion. Covering an entire decade of their lives, this is a story about how their initial rivalry grows into mutual respect and friendship, before blossoming into something much more than that. Heavily inspired by the Netflix show The Queen’s Gambit. Most of our favorite ATLA characters are Pai Sho players.
