Summary
From a Hobbitkink prompt:
The battle was over, and Thorin Oakenshield awoke, naked and shivering, in the Halls of his Ancestors.
The novelty of being dead fades quickly, and watching over his companions soon fills him with grief and guilt. Oddly, a faint flicker of hope arises in the form of his youngest kinsman, a Dwarf of Durin's line with bright red hair.
(Follows the story of the War of the Ring).
(Bagginshield, Gimli/Legolas) In which recovery takes time, the dead members of the Company take to watching Gimli as though he’s a soap opera, the living struggle with being left behind, Legolas is confused, Khuzdul is abused, and Thorin is four feet and ten inches of guilt and anger.

Summary
They hadn’t known Lava Springs Country Club was owned by the uncle of Drama Queen and her hench-brother until they arrived this morning and Azula was immediately peacocking, alternating between smirking at Katara and glaring at the rest of them: Sokka, the other East High first-liners, Teo, and Yue.
There’d been a whole thing, this past semester: Katara instantly being weirdly attached to the new student, Yue, and then coming out as a musical theater performer. Stuff happened, the hockey team and the drama department almost drove their entire high school to a civil war, then stuff got resolved, and Katara and Yue starred in the spring musical. Hakoda cried happy tears at his daughter opening up a new aspect of herself.
Sokka’s loose on the details; he mostly kept his head down and concentrated on hockey, because he’s always been an athlete and will forever be an athlete. What can he say? He’s a simple guy.

When Zuko is the victim of one too many assassination plots, he fakes his death to flush out traitors. Just, not everyone gets the news that it was fake.

Summary
I noticed a lot of my fellow fic writers were wanting to include details about language differences in their Avatar: the Last Airbender fics, but didn't really know how to do it. As someone who has studied languages for many years at the undergraduate and graduate level, and has worked with many students who were trying to learn English, I thought maybe I could put together a guide on how to respectfully show that these characters come from different linguistic backgrounds. I am not an expert on all of these languages; I merely have a bit of experience researching languages and putting together how they work. If anyone has any corrections, I am open to them.
Also, since it cannot be stated too many times, the aim is to be RESPECTFUL. Think carefully about what you are creating and how it might hurt someone.

Summary
Zuko is a retired jaeger pilot who trains newer pilots to fight the endless waves of kaiju that come through the Breach. When the biggest kaiju on record appears unexpectedly in Fire Nation waters, disaster strikes, forcing Zuko to step back into the conn pod despite past trauma. His partner? Sokka, another retired ace, who carries a serious axe to grind and no shortage of baggage. With the kaiju rapidly approaching, and the time to landfall ticking down, they have a lot to work through before they're ready to save anyone.
But maybe, just maybe, they have what it takes to once again fight the storm.

Kabru finds his eyes glued to the video. Most people who defend monsters online, he’s found, know shit about them. They live in sheltered cities, far away from any actual dungeons, and the closest they’ve come to seeing a real monster is in an Elven-made VR game. They’ve never died from a basilisk’s fangs in their throat.
But this guy seems different.
Kabru taps over to the comment section of the video. Normally he avoids them, but this might actually be relevant to his research.
wait lol isn’t this the dragon dildo guy
Kabru blinks at the top rated comment.
(Or: Laios reviews monster sex toys online and Kabru is a tired grad student.)

Summary
“Blessed Spirit, we thank you for the gift of this child’s life. We are forever in your debt.” The whole village is kneeling now, even the tiniest toddlers flopped down on their stomachs doing their best approximation of a bow. “Please, won’t you give us a name to call you? We would like to properly express our gratitude.”
Oh.
Well shit.
(Where Zuko saves a little Earth Kingdom girl from drowning, the villagers think he's a Spirit, build him a shrine, and long story short, a fake story about the Blue Spirit who dances with dragons suddenly becomes very real.)

Summary
It was a sight Hakoda never thought he would see: a firebender dressed willingly in fur, cradling an Earth Kingdom girl, the both of them laughing with an Air Nomad.
Their thoughtless joy. The easy way they touched each other. Three different benders, laughing in the Southern Water Tribe, as if they belonged there. How could any of it be real?
Or: several months after Kya’s death, Hakoda gets a glimpse of the future.

Summary
“I’m so proud of you, my nephew.” Uncle cups Zuko’s face in his lined hand. The gesture is so tender, his palm so warm, that Zuko has to take a fortifying breath against the sudden swell of emotion in his chest.
“I want to be a good leader, Uncle,” Zuko says. “I want to look after my people.”
“You will,” Uncle says. “You are, nephew.”
In a new era of peace, Zuko works to be a very different Fire Lord than his forefathers. Based on this tumblr post.

Of Tea and Turtle Ducks (and the Turtle Duck Guy) by Erisenyo

Summary
[“They might not realize it was unsafe,” Zuko says, nodding like that makes sense. “If it’s what they were raised with. Or if it changed slowly. So they might keep going back even if it wasn’t good.”
“Maybe,” Sokka says, scratching at the base of his wolf tail and making a strong mental note to dig up more information. Homework might be piling up, but it's not piled yet, right? And if Zuko is interested, well, Sokka is interested in seeing where Zuko's mind goes. “The ducklings not doing well would probably be an indicator, though.”
“Hm,” Zuko says, after what Sokka is starting to think—hope—might be a characteristic pause. “You’d think.”]
Or,
Sokka is nothing if not enthusiastic about his interests--Learning. Campus traditions. The campus turtle ducks. The guy who's watching the ducks so intently this year.
Zuko is nothing if not intense about duck watching. (It's not really about the ducks.) (Is it ever?)

Summary
Book one ends with two major diffrences: 1. Sokka went on the mission with Hahn (it did not go well) 2. Zhao survives the North Pole and that proves unfortunate for everybody (except Zhao, obviously)
Imprisoned on Zhao’s war ship, Sokka and Zuko have to work together to survive. They are not very enthusiastic about this prospect.
And they argue.
A lot.

At Sokka’s behest, the Gaang skips rescuing Zuko during the Siege at the North Pole. Instead they leave him, unconscious, buried in the snow.
In completely unrelated news, Sokka’s haunted by a ghost now.

Summary
It doesn’t take long for the rumors to start.
The Fire Nation prides itself on its civilization. It isn’t like the other, lesser, nations who throw their children away by sending them into war. Those uncultured and unfeeling savages who are destroying their own future faster than the Fire Nation can save them from themselves.
Every Fire Nation child goes to school. They learn reading and writing, the illustrious history of their country, and what will be expected of them as proper, upstanding Fire Nation citizens. They are to be protected, because children are the future glory of the nation.
The crown prince is thirteen when his father burns his face in front of an audience of hundreds.

Mid-Season-One Zuko is held for ransom by Chief Hakoda. Ozai's replies to the Water Tribe's demands are A+ Parenting. Hakoda is… deeply concerned, for this son that isn't his, and who might be safer among enemies than with his own father.

“It’s a piece of history,” He argued and she was, as always, shocked at the rolling gravel that flowed quietly from his mouth, “We must preserve it.”
And Mae, who’d spent hours scrubbing the ghost of bloodied fingerprints from her brushes and days willing the scratch of pen to paper to drown out the sound of the Fire Princess's wailing; had looked at the child clutching ruined parchment to his chest and suddenly understood like a punch to the jaw why Prince Iroh had to be physically restrained from murdering his brother in cold blood.Or
The early days of Firelord Zuko's reign as described by his Royal Stenographer.
