Summary
Vera's world ended not with a bang, but with a whimper: the year is 2095, the world in the throes of late-stage climate change. The Earth will keep going, the humans - not so much. As it turns out, the apocalypse is contagious: either that, or she has spectacularly bad luck. Waking up naked on a bloody altar isn't the best introduction to a new place, but you make do with what life hands you. After a rocky start, Vera finds herself in Markarth, trying to make a new home for herself amidst the violence, corruption, and Thalmor zealotry. But just when things are finally settling down - as much as they can in the city of blood and silver - a Nord and a Dunmer roll into town with the mother of all bad deals. Always read the fine print.
This series starts about a year before the events of the game and will continue through the timeline and the DLCs. This fic is the first installment. Canon-compliant(ish), but skews towards a lot of original content. Narration is in 3rd person limited; the protagonist is not the Dragonborn.
Please note: content warnings applied to individual chapters.

Summary
The ice of the South Pole hides many things, such as a Fire Nation Princess who has found herself something akin to a home, even if she would rather herself sitting on a throne of flames rather than in tent wearing furs. Her story was one of growth, victory and failure, but now she is faced with a problem bigger than all the ones she has faced before: choosing what she was taught over what she has learned.

The Princess and the Peasant - (An Azula Epic) by grither55
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender
27 Jun 2024
Tags
Summary
It is the year 100 AG, and the Fire Nation is on the verge of absolute global conquest.
Princess Azula believes that she was born with a divine right to rule, and she rules through fear alone. The world fears her. Her people fear her. Even her closest friends fear her. She has never truly experienced a bond that was not founded in fear. That is until, one day a young commoner girl enters her life by giving her a fire lily.
Through this flower, Azula brings Elle back to the palace to serve as her handmaid. From there, an unlikely bond blossoms between two girls from separate worlds.
Azula soon finds herself undertaking a life-changing journey with her new companion to ascend the throne, while she faces enemies old and new along the way, and maybe even save the world from an otherworldly threat while she is at it.
Over the course of her odyssey, she begins to discover her humanity, and she comes to experience what it feels like to be loved by another. And in turn Elle learns the meaning of happiness, and most importantly she has finally found a home.
Neither of their lives will ever be the same again. Canon divergent.
