Summary
The attack on the Northern Water Tribe goes differently, Aang and the ocean spirit don’t destroy the entire Fire Nation fleet, only most of them.
Zhao escapes, taking Sokka and a few other Water Tribe men as prisoners. Knowing Sokka is traveling with the Avatar he gets sent to Zhao’s “special prison camp” that is hidden near the Earth Kingdom colonies.
Sokka gets a taste of the real war, not the war that he thinks he knows from traveling with the Avatar. While Zhao’s prisoner, he struggles to survive the inhuman conditions. Alone and thought to be dead, he feels himself slowly losing hope.
Seeing a familiar face brings back his hope, even if that face is the scarred Prince of the Fire Nation.
Sokka and Zuko come together to survive and end up depending on each other for a lot more than they ever thought possible.

Summary
Azula's eyes are clear and curious and pure. This child doesn’t have to turn into broken, unhinged teenager ready to strike down her own brother with lightning. She doesn’t have to grow up thinking herself unlovable.
"Let’s have each other's backs," she says, looking right into Azula's innocent eyes. "Always."
_______________
Or, a random woman dies and is reborn as Prince Zuko of the Fire Nation. She’s not happy about it, but no one’s asking for her opinion. So here she is, trying to figure out how to use her vague memories of the show to survive until Aang’s return, while also attempting to (manipulate) guide her affection-starved little sister toward a redemption arc. Gotta take that silver sandwich bite!

Summary
Zuko has been Sokka's best friend for years. The first thing he makes clear to Zuko, however, is that his little sister Katara is absolutely off-limits. For each of his friends. Even though she's the most beautiful woman Zuko has ever seen.
Katara is okay with Sokka's stupid rule until Zuko is in her kitchen. From this point on, Katara tries to convince herself that she is not in love with her brother's best friend.
This works quite well until Suki celebrates her birthday and Katara's idiotic ex-boyfriend Jet imposes himself on her and Zuko breaks his nose. This is followed by a chain reaction of events. Suddenly, she sits behind Zuko on his motorcycle, takes him to her apartment and kisses him before confessing her suppressed feelings to him. Luckily, the whole thing ends in Katara's bedroom, and Zuko is more than willing to never leave this room without Katara by his side again.

ooo this was so complex but good
[“I would do this for you.” She says. Ty Lee stills, goes motionless. Mai looks up, hands still poised with pins above her head.
“I am doing this for myself. For Zuzu. But I would do this for you, if things were different.”
She does not let herself continue dressing, does not let herself look away. She could, she wants, to make nothing of her words. To keep them light and casual. But should anything happen today, she does not think it will be her bearing the cost.
The thought is intolerable.
“We know.” Mai whispers, gentle and soft and knowing. Azula breathes out flame, and nods. Picks up a dagger and slides it into her boot.
“So long as we are clear.”] -

Summary
The burns are deep. Aang frets over them as he keeps watch, the smallest flame cupped in his palms, too small to do any damage. Zuko assures him that this–this is not all that comes from fire.
(Tries not to remember how exactly skin smells when it begins to burn, flake away.)
Or: Zuko doesn't choose Azula during the Crystal Catacombs.
Or or: His sacrifice and everything that comes after.

Book One: A World at War by lnfernity

Summary
For nine years, Zuko believed his mother was dead — a painful truth he carried in silence. Then, everything changed. Ursa was alive, and not only that, he woke up to find a little brother he never knew existed: Aang, born of both air and fire, a living reminder of their complicated family.
But peace was fragile. The Fire Nation, driven by ambition and old grudges, chose to remind the world of its power — and war erupted.
Now, Zuko must protect the brother he’s just begun to understand, navigate the shadows of his past, and face a world burning around them. Together, they flee the flames of their homeland and journey to the Southern Water Tribe — where new friends and even greater challenges await.
This is a retelling of Book One, where family bonds are tested, loyalties shift, and a war only just begun threatens everything.

Summary
Keito loves his little brother, Taiyo, more than anything, more than his career, more than his own safety. He loves him enough that when Taiyo is drafted into the Fire Nation Army, Keito follows and is assigned to the 41st division with him. The horror that follows sends them away from everything the brothers ever knew and into the hands of their enemies. But a strange, new spirit with incredible Blue flames leads the way, protecting them, and forcing them to question everything they thought they knew about spirits and their enemies.
This is a side story to my fic, "The Will Which Says 'Hold on'". While it mostly stands on its own, many things will make more sense if Hold On is read first.
