Summary
Katara grew up in the Southern Water Tribe under the tutelage of Hama, the only waterbender ever to have escaped Fire Nation captivity. When Zuko arrives at the South Pole, seeking the Avatar, they are more than ready to defend him. Iroh watches as his beloved nephew throws himself at the ice walls again and again in an impossible siege–-and resolves to do anything it takes to save his nephew from himself. With the assistance of the Order of the White Lotus, he deposes his brother on the Day of Black Sun.
A week later, the Southern Water Tribe receives a petition for peace, and a proposal of marriage.

Summary
Sokka receives an offer of an arranged marriage from the Northern Water Tribe. On the one hand, accepting would strengthen ties between their tribes. On the other hand, Chief Arnook has suggested Hahn as a potential match, and Hahn sucks. But with the future of the Southern Water Tribe Reconstruction project relying heavily on the good will of the North, Sokka doesn’t know how to say no.
(Katara doesn’t have to deal with this. Katara is dating the Avatar.)
Zuko has a solution. Sokka just wishes he’d realized he was in love with the Fire Lord before he agreed to pretend to date him.

Summary
“Does he know, then?” His teeth scrape harshly across her neck, leaving furious marks that her servants will have to silently cover come morning.
Azula frowns at the question, her chest heaving. “What?”
His eyes are dark when he pulls his searing mouth away from her skin. “That you fall into bed with me when he’s asleep,” he husks lowly, hands nimbly undoing her bindings. “Does he know?”
(In which Azula is betrothed to be married and the Avatar is still a man, after all.)

Summary
Soulflowers are the beauty in pain, the soulmark left from a scar on your soulmate. Its a gift from the spirits and its supposedly meant to pair you with your perfect half. Sokka's calling bullshit though and Zuko would be inclined to agree. Soulmates aren't supposed to be fighting on opposite sides of a war and really shouldn't try to kill each others' friends. Well, Sokka's friends. Zuko is too awkward and honor-driven to actually have any.

Summary
She FAILED.
Azula could feel her inner fire burn as she looked to see her brother and friends escape.
She turns back to the cause, her face twisting in fury, ready to banish, throw fire, unleash hell at the one she once called a friend.
Her heart pounded quickly, with every step she could feel the heat brush off her feet with each step she took to Mai.
Then she stopped.
Suddenly she felt she couldn’t breathe. She tried to take a breath, which sure, might have been a fire blast, but no one would know as nothing but a short gasp escaped her throat.
Mixes of black and white suddenly clouded the edges of her vision, her heart seeming to beat louder that it’s a shock no one seems to hear.
———
Something broke once Azula saw her brother and friends escape the prison thanks to Mai.
So she runs, not looking back as while she knows by doing so, word bound to get back to her father as betrayal.
But for once in her life she didn’t care what her father thought.
How could she? When her mind just shattered to pieces.-

Summary
Soulmates are chosen by the spirits and can hear each other’s thoughts. Sokka thinks it’s cheesy and dumb. Zuko thinks it’s poetic justice that he doesn’t have one because he doesn’t deserve it. Cruel irony is finding out that the prince of the Fire Nation (and the person currently hunting you) is your soulmate.
(Set during and after the events of ATLA, and during some of the events of the comics that follow. This was an excuse to write a slow-burn where Sokka and Zuko are soulmates)

Summary
(please let me go) Title by The Walters
=====“Ugh. You… that’s not fair! I am… I’m unlovable, okay?! Are you happy now? Now that you got me to admit it?” There was a small tremor in her voice but she refused to cry. “You were the perfect son, always doing everything asked of you, always bending to every beck and call.”
“But Father didn’t love me.”
“BUT MOTHER DID! Evil incarnate didn’t love you, but sweet, caring, compassionate Mother loved you with every inch of her big, kind heart. I couldn’t even have that.” She sounded disgusted and angry and frustrated but Zuko wasn’t sure if it was with Ursa or herself.
=====

Remember Ember Island by sixtiescosmo

Summary
It's been 5 years since the war ended when Katara arrives in Caldera as the new ambassador of the Southern Water Tribe. Katara and Zuko haven't spent any real time together since his coronation, and neither of them knows how to act around the other.
It would be so easy just to consider themselves friends...if either of them had ever stopped thinking about what happened between them that one night on Ember Island.

Summary
Later on, they would realize it was done by the Moon Spirit.
Later on, they would conclude that when her life was threatened the Great Moon Spirit Tui did what it took to survive.
As the foul Fire Human who dared commit the blasphemy of threatening the very moon held the sack containing her aloft, Tui's small fish eyes managed to find a gap in the cloth, and through it catch sight of the young human girl she had once blessed with her power so that she might live.
And with that blessing, the two remained connected. So Tui used her powers to reach out and grasp that connection as tightly as she could.
Then, going against her name, going against fate, going against time itself, Tui for once did not push.
She pulled!
Princess Yue gasped as something yanked free inside her mind. Like a dam breaking free and flooding in her mind.
Memories!
___
In which remembering your past life becomes contagious, and it becomes a question of if they've all learned from their past or are doomed to repeat it.

Blue fire burns hotter, but it lacks warmth by EnvoyOfLyra

02 Dec 2025

Summary
Nine years after the war ended, seven years after she escaped the asylum, five years after the search was called off, Azula is forced to go back to the Fire Nation.
She has no intention of reconnecting with the people who hurt and abandoned her, no intention of bowing to the hypocrisy of her brother and his friends, no intention of staying any longer than she has to in this nation she sacrificed everything for, only to be discarded. She wants nothing more than to go back to her simple life as a farmer.
There is, however, one reason why she will go back and play her part. A young girl who has no one else in the world, a young girl who understand what it is to be rejected by your only family. The only one who has looked at Azula and seen something worth loving.
She will do whatever she has to to ensure that the girl doesn't grow up like she did.

Summary
Ba Sing Se got him when he was two years into banishment and so close to citizenship it burned his fingertips. Burned them more than they burned last summer, with shaking hands and a half-remembered prayer.
If Zuko dies, he will die Earth Kingdom, and his grave will be covered in flowers.

Summary
Under the leadership of Fire Lord Iroh, the Fire Nation has made every attempt to restore peace and make amends for the harm they inflicted during the Seventy-Year War. Their newest proposal is a literal proposal: a marriage to unite the Fire Nation and the Water Tribes.
The Fire Nation offers Prince Zuko’s hand.
The Water Tribes offer Princess Yue’s.
Sokka is apparently the only person in the world who has a problem with any of this.
