    Summary

    Zuko hesitated to admit it, but he was afraid of her. He’d begun to notice something within Katara that he hadn’t picked up on the many times they’d clashed in the past. Rage. Buried deep underneath all of her maternal instincts was a hostile streak that made his skin prickle. He knew that hostility. He had it within himself.

     


    Season 3 rewrite, starting with when Zuko joins the Gaang.

    Summary

    AU where Zuko realises early into his banishment that Ozai is an abusive bastard who sent him on a wild goose chase. Iroh turns their decommissioned warship into a floating tea shop, and Zuko settles down as a tea server onboard the Jasmine Dragon.

    And then, years later, the Avatar emerges from the iceberg.

    And then Aang decides that he wants Zuko, the first good firebender he’s met this century, to be his firebending teacher - even though Zuko wants nothing to do with him.

    Based on this tumblr post.

    Summary

    It was not just one death, but a hundred deaths, a thousand. The deaths of all those that came before him, wiped out in and instant; the deaths of all those that would come after, their distant, glowing breaths wiped from existence in a snap.

    The light shuddered. The Avatar State split.

    Aang’s body crumpled against the stone.

    When he woke up, he was no longer the Avatar.

     

    OR: With her brother returning to the Fire Nation, Azula has to fight to be the heir; but it's not long before Zuko has a change of heart and believes his destiny lies with the Avatar - he needs to teach Aang firebending and defeat his father. But when he finally meets Aang, he discovers that the Avatar Spirit had left him in the Catacombs. Aang's identity is only that of the last airbender - with a new Avatar possibly out there, unbeknownst to the world.

    Summary

    "She’d been learning what’s real.  And every day she learned to hate her father a little more.

    Which was probably just what Zuzu wanted.  He was the Fire Lord now, so he technically should have been getting what he wanted.  Even if the title had been stolen from her."

    I'm redoing "The Search" but with established Zutara and Azula actually getting the redemption arc she deserves.

    Summary

    The Avatar has been captured.

    The 100-year Civil War is reaching its peak. Without the one true hope, the Rebellion cracks under the pressure of the Fire Nation. The Southern Water Tribe Princess, Katara, returns to the Rebellion after four years of water bending training.

    Ba Sing Se has fallen. With the fall of the city, the Freedom Fighters are pushed out. Fortunately for The Rebellion, an important prisoner has been captured. Crown Prince of the Fire Nation, Zuko, is sent to The Rebellion headquarters in The Southern Water Tribe.

    A miracle is needed to save the Rebellion. That miracle may come in the form of an unlikely alliance.

    Summary

    See, the life I've had can make a good man bad.
    So, for once in my life, let me get what I want.
    Lord knows, it would be the first time.

    What would it take for Dio to fight on the side of the Joestar family? For Diavolo to serve society in a beneficial way? For Jotaro to actually be there for his daughter? An AU with a dark beginning and a wholesome ending.

    Summary

    Lan Fan is staring at Father’s hand. “That is a Philosopher’s Stone,” she says.

    Father tilts his head at her again. “Yes, it is.”

    “Young lord,” she says, emphatically, sternly, “do not stop them. I will take this stone into myself and we will bring it home to Xing. Our clan will be saved.” She meets his eyes. “You will be king.”

    Summary

    As a matter of fact, Zenitsu didn't want that "gift" or whatever that was, because ghosts were loud and hurt his ears and he had enough problems as it was.

    But we don't get to choose what we can and cannot see, and Zenitsu sees and hears a lot of things. Way too much, if you ask him.
