Summary
It’s a story that has been told before: two young siblings find the Avatar, a young Air Nomad that had been trapped in the ice for a hundred years. The siblings would then go on to accompany the Avatar on a quest that would restore balance to the world.
But this is not the same story. The siblings do find the Avatar, but it is not the young Air Nomad. Instead, the Avatar they found was a Fire Nation princess. For her, restoring balance to the world was the last thing on her mind, yet destiny (and some very annoying Water Tribe peasants) had pointed her towards this path.
OR
Azula is a reluctant Avatar who has to end the Hundred Year War

Summary
A brutal counteroffensive on the Day of Black Sun alters the trajectories of Zuko and Katara's fates, changing their lives forever.
Sprawling, long-form character study (mainly 3rd person, with 1st person flashbacks). Early chapters set the framework, but later chapters are some of my best writing.
Rated M (read tags). Work first published August 2022.

Summary
Ozai has never loved anyone, and even if he had in the past, he has forgotten it. But Ozai had always demanded loyalty, and although Azula carried out his every command, he had no doubt that his daughter would betray him if it benefited her. But there was one person who had given him his undying loyalty since day one. The person who he had burned and sent away. And now he has a feeling he never had before: shame.
And dammed he be if he’ll let his position as Zuko’s father be stolen by some water tribe chief. A position he didn’t deserve, but now wanted to have.

Summary
Before Sozin’s reign, people traveled everywhere. They adventured outside of their kingdoms. And, sometimes they fell in love.
Ursa was a descendant of Avatar Roku, but she was also an earth bender. Most of all, she was also lonely.
She remained lonely until Zuko was born on a cool evening around midnight.
Azula was born two years later, as the summer sun rose. She was a bit fussier, but still a beautiful baby girl.
Izumi was different.
~~~~~~~
Instead of being a Beifong, Toph was born in the Fire Nation as Izumi, the third child to Ozai and Ursa.This goes through the entire series, with this change.

Enter Toph Beifong.
Meanwhile Iroh is trying to figure out how to approach his nephew about his habit of running off alone, which would be easier to do if the younger firebender hadn't run off alone the instant he saw a bit of bison fur.

2) THIS IS THE SECOND PART OF A LONG FANFIC. SPOILERS IN THE SUMMARY:Here is the first part of the fic : https://archiveofourown.org/works/31802443/chapters/78728599
***
"I know what you're going to say. She's my sister, and I should be trying to get along with her."
"No, she's crazy and she needs to go down"
Six years ago, when Iroh spoke these somber words to comfort a bewildered Zuko, neither of the two men could have imagined how harsh, dizzying, and trying the fall would be. Nor did they foresee that Zuko would be drawn into it. Having lost everything, he is left with no one but this broken sister he once saw as his enemy.
Should they fight to reclaim a crown that has become too heavy for their heads or succumb to feelings they should never have contemplated? What choices will the siblings make?

Three years later, when Zuko is banished, he takes his toddler sister with him to find the Avatar. Ozai allows it on the condition that he must return Azula if she starts firebending. Zuko definitely doesn't lie and definitely doesn't send letters telling him Azula's firebending is horrible.

Summary
(“You’re not sleeping,” Mai says softly.
“How’d you know?” Zuko asks.To be honest, he’s kind of gotten to the point where he’s surprised that anyone can perceive him outside of his necessary functions- he exists solely to sit in council meetings and shoulder the blame for genocides and famines and the suffering of one-hundred years. Doesn’t he?)
The war is over, but the fallout is just beginning. And where lightning strikes, thunder is bound to follow.

Summary
"Dispatch? Kill Prince Zuko?!" Fire Lord Azulon hissed. "With Prince Lu Ten dead and Iroh without an heir? To leave me with only one grandchild to secure the monarchy? No, Prince Ozai! You have overstepped. Zuko will live, but not as your son. I will give him to Prince Iroh to raise as his own son, as his heir."
When Fire Lord Azulon ordered Iroh to adopt Zuko, it seemed like the magic wand that would fix everything that was wrong in Zuko's life. But life inevitably finds a way to blow up in Zuko's face. A loose retelling of the Avatar story featuring Fire Lord Iroh, angsty Azula, Zuko joining Team Avatar in first season, and a Mai who is definitely (not?) going to kill Zuko.

Summary
In which Zhao is way creepier than in canon, Zuko suffers way more than in canon, & it's hard to keep some things secret.

Summary
Sequel to The Taste of Tea.
The longer she read, the worse it got. And the worst bits of all were not where he described what had happened to him, but the blame he cast on himself.
Things were bound to be awkward, rekindling a relationship after being apart for three years, but Mai hadn't expected it to be this difficult.

Summary
He drinks the tea and tries not to look uncomfortable as Zhao moves closer and closer. He doesn't know how, but somehow every time he blinks the man is closer. He should say something, but what? He’s not actually doing anything wrong. (He should move closer; Zuko is his prince, and he should be hanging on his every word. It was perfectly reasonable.)
If uncle were here, objecting would earn a stern look and a proverb on the nature of politeness and being receptive to your conversation partners.
Zuko says nothing.
Zhao is next to him now. He rests a hand on Zuko's thigh.
He wants to say something, but his head feels like it’s stuffed with cotton and his tongue won't work properly.
Wherever Zuko goes, Zhao always seems to be there, smirking & offering him tea. He doesn't want the tea-that-is-not-just-tea. But he can't explain why to his uncle, or tell him that the very thought of tea makes him want to scream (in rage, not fear, because princes don't feel fear).

Summary
Mai's world burns around her as she watches the Agni Kai. No one is doing anything. Not Azula, who is watching on with a smile. Not the Fire Lord, who has a satisfied look on his face. Not Prince Iroh, who isn't even there.
Mai's world is burning, and she knows she is the only one who can douse the flames.
Or: What happens if Iroh isn't present for the Agni Kai? What happens when someone else steps up to take his place?
Featuring: baby BAMFs, Mai and Zuko being chaotic goth BFFs, the Yuyan adopting not one but two (2) feral children, and June making excuses to visit the Pohuai Stronghold in order to check in on her apprentices (*cough, cough* little siblings *cough, cough*)
