    Summary

    Appa loves his humans. He really does. They protect him, they feed him, they love him, he couldn't ask for a better herd. He just wishes that they wouldn't bring baby predators into the camp and pretend everything is fine.

    Or

    Zuko and Azula get turned into baby dragons and it's Appa's problem now

    Summary

    Something unknown and unspoken is entombed underneath it all. It’s calling to her, daring her to burrow deeper, enticing her with the temptation to unbury something well-hidden and deeply felt. And Zuko has long been such an enigma, such a beacon in her life that Katara dares, just for one moment, to reach out and touch that unknown emotion, brushing the edges of it with her subconscious.

    ____

    The night after the final Agni Kai sends out shockwaves that ripple into the future and demolish several idealized views of destiny.

    Summary

    "In the distance a cavehopper sings into the darkness, oblivious to all that transpired tonight, and she envies its freedom. She taps her fingers against her chest but every other inch of her is still, like a pond on a windless day. ‘What do you mean?’

    ‘I can’t seem to get people to love me.’”

    --

    “It hits her then, why she was confused and upset when he saved her from Azula’s wrath. She’s so used to everyone expecting something in return—a kiss, a declaration of love, her forgiveness, the assumption she’ll take care of them or go along with their plans—that she’s been waiting for him to disappoint her in ways she’s used to. Except he doesn’t.

    And Katara also realizes she was never upset at him, not really. She was just upset he showed her all the ways everyone’s taken her compassion and maturity for granted. He saw her drowning in the weight of expectations before she even realized it herself, and for that she’s forever grateful.”

    Katara learns to grow up through falling in love with Zuko. Set immediately after the final Agni Kai.

    Summary

    When Prince Zuko was five, he would produce his first flames. Bright, roaring fire that licked at the walls of his bedroom as the curtains blazed, tearing through the crimson-colored furniture and burning the room to ash. His parents would find the young boy standing calmly in the center of the blaze, unmoved by the destruction and watching silently as his chambers perished.

    Prince Zuko’s younger sister, Princess Azula, would only create her first flames four years later, at the age of seven. Much to her father’s disappointment.

    Summary

    “Your father and your uncle, they fight. They don’t always get along. But you two, my Zuko and Azula, you are the light of the Fire Nation.” Ursa squeezes their shoulders gently. “When your uncle is Fire Lord, and your cousin Lu Ten is next in line, you will be important players in the royal court. There will be people who will try to divide you. You Must Not Let Them.” She emphasizes every word, looking at them seriously. “You are siblings, and you love each other. Promise me that you’ll always look out for each other.”

    “I promise,” Zuko says, looking at Azula. She feels the words deep inside her. Something sacred.

    “I promise,” Azula says.

    Summary

    “The Agni Kai is more than a test of honor: it’s a brutal duel for total domination, where the loser not only forfeits their pride but their will and fate, left at the mercy of the victor. The punishment could be exile… or death.
    Zuko, unwilling to let Azula die and knowing that exile in her fragile mental state would only lead her to ruin, acts in desperation to save her from execution. He unearths forgotten scrolls of the Fire Nation and discovers an ancient law: in a battle between an alpha and an omega, if the alpha falls, they lose everything; but if the omega is defeated, they can be claimed by the victor. After three years of dodging the inevitable, Zuko resolves to invoke this tradition for his sister.
    Thus, Azula—humiliated and stripped of her power—is bound to Katara, the only one capable of defeating her, recently named chief of the Water Tribe over her older beta brother.
    And, reluctantly, in an act of compassion, Katara agrees."

    Summary

    It's not a secret that the Fire nation Prince and Princess don't get along. They've been at each others throats since they were toddlers, and it's almost always Azula that starts it. Everyone knows that Princess Azula doesn't like her brother. But maybe thats not the whole truth. The flames that sear Zuko's face in that awful Agni Kai spark a destructive anger in her heart, and suddenly she can't stand by while her father gets away with this level of cruelty.

    Summary

    Zuko has not worn a red uniform in over seven years. His bones burn underneath his skin. Through these rags, anger fries his nerves. He needs to accept it, his fate as a traitor, but the chambers in his chest can not ignore this ache. And now there are blue eyes staring at him from across this cell, and he is unsure if the spirits intended for him to ever let go.

    OR,
    Zuko is the name of a renegade from the Fire Nation, and Sokka is the name of his cellmate.

    Summary

    A world where the Avatar has disappeared from memory. Where Sozin’s Conquest was successful. Where the unsteady order of the empire is threatened as members of the royal family are picked off one by one and lines are slowly drawn in the sand.

    One last chance for peace forces an unlikely alliance between a homesick waterbender, a carefree Air Nomad, a runaway Earth Kingdom heiress, and the fire lord's inscrutable son. Together they must learn to shed old enmities and become the balance they seek to restore to the world.

    Summary

    Iroh is tired when he heads to his quarters to write a letter to the rest of his family in the Fire Nation. So tired, in fact, that he accidentally implies in it that the knife is meant for his niece and the doll for his nephew. Azula and Ursa don’t notice the mistake.

    Zuko, however, does.

    Azula and Zuko had always been close. He was there for her, picking her up when she fell, comforting her when Father yelled at her for not being good enough. But not all things were meant to last.
