Summary
Fire. Air. Water. Earth.
The sages used to tell stories of the old days: a time of terror when the tyrant Avatar suppressed all people and divided the land between the Fire Nation, Air Nomads, Water Tribes, and Earth Kingdom. But everything changed when Sozin’s comet allowed the Fire Nation to fight back. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, stood in the way of a prosperous and united world. But just when we almost managed to defeat him, he vanished.
A hundred years have passed, but the world cannot truly be united until the Avatar is found. Three years ago, my father entrusted me with a sacred task: to find and capture the Avatar, and thereby redeem a great shame and failure of the Fire Nation. And although many believe this is an impossible task, I still have hope. I still believe that, somehow, I will find the Avatar and restore honor to the Fire Nation and to myself.
***
AU where the Avatar Spirit left Aang in the iceberg and was eventually reborn in everybody’s favorite grumpy fire prince.

Summary
Water. Earth. Air. Fire. My grandmother used to tell me stories about the old days, a time of peace when the Avatar kept the balance between the Water Tribes, Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation, and Air Nomads. But that all changed when the Fire Nation attacked.
Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop the ruthless firebenders. But when the world needed him most, he vanished.
A hundred years have passed, and the Fire Nation is nearing victory. Two years ago, my father and the men of my tribe journeyed to the Earth Kingdom to help fight against the Fire Nation. Without our warriors to defend us, the Fire Nation attacked our village, and took my people as slaves. I was separated from my brother, and my grandmother, and given to an elderly general of the Fire Nation as a house servant.
Some people believe that the Avatar was never reborn into the Air Nomads, and that the cycle is broken. But I haven’t lost hope. I still believe that somehow, the Avatar will return to save the world.AU Where Aang died in the Air Nomad Genocide, and the Avatar Cycle continues...
(totally honest, not sure if this is going to be more than one chapter or not, just needed to get this idea out of my head)

Summary
This is based off a fan theory that Ty Lee is a defendant of airbenders, so that being said I’ve conjured up a fanfiction where SHE’S the avatar and Aangs an airbender. He was never seen as the avatar but he was still lost in the iceberg. He is a master airbender, and Ty Lee has the same backstory, except she has known she was the avatar for a while and just hid it from everyone she knew including her parents.
