Avatar: NOT The Last Airbender by Bookworm7250
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender (Cartoon 2005)
01 Dec 2024

Summary
Aang woke up in an entire new age, on a comletely different land mass. Nothing made sense, and he couldn't understand anyone around him.
Katara and Sokka didn't think that they would find the Avatar on a simple fishing trip, but maybe it was just the break they needed... if only they could understand anything he was saying.
Zuko had never actually expected to find the Avatar, but his discovery might just be what they need to gain an edge in the war. He only wished that it wasn't so hard to convince everyone that he wasn't evil.

Guys I know this is a terrible summary please just give it a try... I definitely be be making a better one at some point but I have no idea what to put rn -

Summary
In the palace, Zuko was the banished prince. A disgrace to the Fire Lord and Fire Nation, honorless and cowardly. But beyond those walls, to the people themselves, Zuko was their hope. Hope that this war would end soon, that their futures would be more than ash and war. His eyes and fire, bright as the sun itself, were the symbols of the new era.
The citizens of the Fire Nation had always loved Zuko more than they feared Ozai.
~*~
Zuko is banished and realizes that his father is a liar, they aren't bringing prosperity to the world. They're destroying it and everything that makes it beautiful. He spends years playing his part, secretly working with the rebels while "searching" for the avatar. He never expected to actually find him, but when it comes down to it Zuko knows what choice he'll make.
After all, a little treason was good for the soul.

Summary
Aang's energybending fails, and the war is lost. But before the gaang can blink, they wake up in the past, on the day that Katara and Sokka found the Avatar.
The war's a lot easier to win when your biggest enemies are on your side from the beginning.
Ft. the gaang's antics, loads of dramatic irony, and literally the entire Fire Nation being confused as to why, when, and how the banished prince got happy emotions and friends...

How To Save (Seduce!) Your Villain In A Few Easy Steps; A Guide By Avatar Aang by NazakiSama166
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender (Cartoon 2005)
10 Oct 2025

Summary
“Shitty author, shitty novel! Prince Zuko deserves justice!” Aang’s famous last words as he took his last breath.
…Forced to read his favorite character’s unjust death and being killed after. Aang had had enough when he was yeeted into the same novel he died cursing because an annoying entity called ‘The System’ thought it would be fun transmigrating him into the most annoying novel he had the misfortune of reading.
To make things worse, Aang didn’t become an anonymous NPC, so he could help his favorite character from the sidelines. Instead, he became that damned Protagonist who will end up killing the Scum Villain, Prince Zuko!
……You know what? Let the world burn and the plot go up in flames! Aang was going to give Prince Zuko the happy ending he deserved, one way or another, even if it killed him!
...
Or
A different retelling of ATLA, SVSSS style!

Rise of the Elements by Threee

Summary
They had never been at home with their own people. Not quite fitting in through skill nor attitude. They had each other, and if you asked any of the brothers where their allegiance lied it would not be with a Nation. If the Spirits moved the world around to put the four benders in the path of the Avatar? That would only matter for as long as the four brothers wanted to follow.
The rise boys in the Avatar universe but they're humans and benders. Here to have a good time. Some are running away from their pasts and others are dragging it kicking and screaming into a redemption arc.
