Summary
Combustion Man never finds the Western Air Temple, and the Gaang goes ahead with the plan to capture Zuko and hold him prisoner so he can’t hurt anyone. Now Zuko has to convince them he’s on their side without having any proof he doesn’t want the Avatar dead anymore, and preferably before Katara decides to kill him.
… If only he weren’t so bad at being good.

"Live," she pleads. "I don't want you to sacrifice yourself for this war—for me. I just need you to come back. Please...please come back to me."

Summary
Ninety-six years after the last appearance of Sozin’s Comet, a freshly burned and banished thirteen-year-old Prince Zuko discovers a strange boy frozen in an iceberg.
When Zhao interferes with Zuko's plans to deliver the Avatar to his father, Aang helps Zuko and Iroh escape. They take refuge from the Fire Navy in the abandoned Air Temples, where the young Avatar searches for any remnants of his people that he can find. Along the way, Aang teaches an indoctrinated Zuko about the true nature of the Air Nomads, and the Fire Prince must come to terms with the fact that everything he has been taught was a lie, while the Dragon of the West must face the sins of his past.
Eventually, Aang and Zuko become close friends, and Zuko begins to feel things he has never felt for anyone before. However, Zhao will not give up easily, and will do whatever it takes to capture the Avatar and his traitor accomplices.
(A retelling of AtLA exploring the friendship and eventual romance that could have developed between Aang and Zuko if the circumstances of their meeting had been different.)
(CURRENT UPDATE SCHEDULE IS ROUGHLY EVERY 2-3 WEEKS)

Summary
Zuko was ten when his soulmate called for him.
But at fourteen he resolved to never utter the words himself, to never call for him – even if he was about to die. He would rather die than call for his soulmate.
or;
Soulmate AU: Once in a lifetime, when in danger, you can call for your soulmate and they’ll come to you – after the threat desert so do they.

Summary
What if Sokka took up a power that he did not understand? What would it cost? And what would his family do to save him?
What if Azula had been shown another way? If someone had helped her, could she find her own redemption?
Underlying theme: The dereliction of duty and the consequences thereof, and that if you hold to your convictions and are resolved in your duty you will find salvation.
This takes place in the universe in which Aang did not use Sokka's jerky as fire stater in episode three, and the butterfly effect is strong indeed.
Constructive Criticism welcomed.

Summary
Despite feeling his life slowly fading, Fire Lord Azulon is still determined to win the war his father began and earn eternal glory for himself, his dynasty and nation.
Unsure whether he can live long enough to see the return of Sozin's Comet, he orders his son and heir Iroh to take the capital of the Earth Kingdom by any means necessary, something Iroh believes to be his destiny anyway. His rivalry with his brother Ozai, though once encouraged by him, has started to worry the aging monarch. In an effort to preempt a civil war and build an even stronger bloodline, he proclaims the marriage of Iroh's son Lu Ten to Ozai's daughter Azula.
Though her heart belongs to someone else her sense of duty is stronger, thus she faithfully follows her cousin on all his military quests. In the 18th year of her life she joins him and her uncle in their push to Ba Sing Se. Meanwhile her elder brother Zuko is building a career in the navy, growing more fearsome and respected by the day. Their father, though working in secret, is sure not to stand idle either. How will the drama of family and war unfold? Will the Avatar return to escalate things further?

Collection of various short fics. Most on hiatus or incomplete.
Part 1: Three separate AUs in one place: Zuko has 30% less impulse control and 1% better decision making, so he makes a different choice in the Crystal Catacombs; Zuko and Sokka celebrate Halloween; Piandao accidentally acquires a child (it’s Zuko, after the Agni Kai)
Part 2: Mid s1 Zuko grows his hair out, gives up on Avatar hunting and dethrones Ozai, then realizes being Fire Lord sucks so he declares the FN a democracy
Part 3: Team Avatar apparently can't catch a break from being hunted by Fire Nation royalty. After Zuko joins them post Day of Black Sun, Azula starts her own personal mission to find the Avatar, though for slightly different reasons. Ft. Toph looking and Zuko and going “yeah this is my big brother now”
Part 4: Toph and Zuko's friendship, or how Zuko gets another sister
Part 5: Zuko abandons his quest to find the Avatar and takes up piracy (and selling tea) in an effort to never see anything Avatar-related again. It does not work.
Part 6: '“How the fuck are we meant to steal a dragon?” Sokka asked, conveniently and concisely summing up Katara’s thoughts.
She didn’t even have the energy to pull him up on cursing in front of their resident twelve year old. How the fuck indeed.'
Or, Aang, Katara and Sokka have one more quest before they can be done with the gods for good. Dealing with the king and queen of the underworld can't be that hard, right? (Aang is Hercules, Zuko is Hades, Toph is Persephone, they’re married for tax reasons, and Ran, Shaw, and Druk are Ceberus)
Part 7: The Sibling Instinct™️ overpowers everything, including your dislike of your sort-of-enemy-turned-co-teacher (Zuko has a glass eye and he and Katara fuck with Sokka)
