Summary
When Sokka adopted an unfamiliar kid into his close circle, he never imagined just how weird an experience this would prove to be.
Okay, if he thought about it for longer than five minutes, he could see the potential surprises down the line were to be expected. Had this been any other kid, it wouldn’t have been as complicated as it was maybe, but this kid wasn’t like any other kid Sokka knew. He wasn’t from the Water Tribe or even from the Fire Nation or the Earth Kingdom. Those he could deal with because while he didn’t know a lot about their cultures, he still heard enough.
But an Air Nomad? This kid’s every move, word and… well, his whole entire personality, really, determinedly defied Sokka’s logic.

Sokka gets to know Aang over the course of a year.

Summary
“You did it!” he cheered, clapping his hands.
She looked momentarily stunned. “I did? I did, right? It looked better this time!”
“Definitely! You should try it again! The more you practice, the better it can get.”
Instead of trying the water whip again, Katara dropped the water she was levitating to encircle Aang in a hug. “Thanks, Aang.”
---
Five times Aang compartmentalized his own problems to help one of his friends and one time they helped him.
There is literally no better summary for this. (Probably.)

Summary
The masked guy was sitting on him. And he was shackling his ankles so he couldn’t run.
“No, no, no,” he gasped, the air in his lungs struggling to enter with the body weighing him down. “Who are you? Why are you doing this? I thought you were here to help me!”
“You were wrong,” a familiar voice came from above him.
Aang stopped fighting for a split moment, fear rippling through him. “Zuko.”
---
What if Zuko really managed to capture Aang after freeing him from Zhao as the Blue Spirit.

Take My Breath Away by pandaluna for Iridesc
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender (Cartoon 2005)

Summary
Vāyu loved watching her people.
Every few generations, a person would come who would steal her breath away. They would lean into her touch a little more; would devote themselves to her even more completely than the others. They would reach up high to touch the sky, stretching their fingers in an attempt to finally, finally, finally make contact with the one they loved who loved them back.
And a new one came along, and Vāyu quickly learned that letting this one go would surely prove to be the hardest thing she’d ever done.
---
The spirit of air and her relationship with Aang.
(I don't know, okay?)

The Staff that Matters by pandaluna for Iridesc

Summary
Sokka’s body stilled momentarily. His heartrate picked up speed. “You took his staff and cracked open nuts with it? Wait, are you serious?”
“What’s the big deal? The nuts cracked, Aang learned earthbending—everyone wins.” She stretched her legs before her. “It’s just a fancy stick.”
“Oh, Toph, it’s not just a fancy stick—not to Aang,” Sokka said exasperatedly.
---
Toph reflects on meeting her new friends and learns some things about Aang's past.
(I'm bad with summaries, okay?)

Last Breath of an Airbender by pandaluna for Iridesc

Summary
Aang came back to his senses and woke up into a wakeful nightmare. At his feet, laying on the ground with his wrists and ankles still bound to the surface of the rock pillar with earth, was Fire Lord Ozai. His body was still, unmoving.
He just killed someone.
He won the war but effectively made sure balance could never be restored to the world. Because he’d just completed the genocide of the Air Nomads.
---
If Aang did kill Ozai, this is how things would have gone in my opinion.
