With Honor of My Own Making by MoonageDay_dream

Summary
The gang is adjusting to life in Ba Sing Se when an unsuspected discovery lands them in custody of a surprisingly well-mannered Zuko (though his temper is a nasty thing). Exiled, powerless, and with a ridiculously large bounty on his head, Zuko has to decide how he's going to let the rest of his life play out. Trust grows gradually through trial and error, through war and laughter, and maybe just maybe through a belonging Zuko never imagined he'd feel again.
"If I am lost, light my path.
If I falter, temper my spirit.
Let my flame burn steady, not wild.
Let my fire bring warmth, not destruction.
Let me walk in balance, with honor of my own making."

Summary
On Zuko's eighteenth birthday he finally does it.
He packs up everything and leaves his childhood home behind, away from his abusive father to forge his own path in life. He leaves behind his fancy muscle car, his room the size of a small apartment, and cuts off every last tie he has to Ozai; including his financial ties.
Before he starts college, Zuko realizes that he has no idea how to not have money. That money doesn't just magically spawn in his wallet anymore. He needs someone to teach him how to be poor. Because what, exactly, is student loan debt?
"Katara I thought you said we were having a struggle meal."
"We are!"
"That's not a meal, that's just a tortilla with butter."
Modern day A/U in which Katara teaches Zuko how to be a successful broke college kid.

Summary
True perfection can never be achieved, after the Agni Kai, Azula should know that better than anyone.
Being trapped underground, easier to forget, is taking its toll on the once graceful fire nation princess, how long until she dies alone in a cold cage? How long until somebody would notice? Maybe she should just give in to the despair clawing in her mind, there’s nothing left for her now.
(I swear there’s a Azutara fic here somewhere just trust me bro)

She sneaks into the dungeon at night, attempting to see the prisoner for herself. Yet, instead of finding an embittered warrior, all Princess Azula sees is a girl her age, scared and alone.
Her perspective on the Hundred-Year War is fundamentally changed forever.

Summary
"You think I hate you? You think I'd ever kill you?" Sokka holds Zuko's face in both hands, blood dripping from his lips. "I'd fall on my spear for you. I'd find you anywhere. What do you think that means?"
Rescued, but imprisoned, Zuko finds himself no further from death on a water tribe ship. Sokka, the chief, would see him bleeding out on the boards of the deck as justice. He's a fire bender, the evil of the war that his father rages through their world. Zuko hasn't been a part of that war. Not for years. Now he's thrust back into it against his will, finding himself fighting on a side he never expected to be a part of. Maybe he'll find a cause worth fighting for; someone worth fighting for.

Summary
A lot has happened since Katara and Sokka found Aang in the ice. Back in the Earth Kingdom to find an Earth bending teacher for Aang they’re confident that they can face anything in the way without anyone else unless it’s Aang’s teacher.
But when Aang has a vision of a mysterious man with feline creatures in a swamp and found him for real Aang suddenly and quickly forget how kidnapping is illegal.
~
What Lance and Keith is doing is definitely illegal. They should know, they made the rules, but coming across a planet with alien life that looks and acts exactly like humans who were they to resist the temptation to blending in with an undiscovered alien civilisation? How were they supposed to know this world had magic people who could move elements with their mind? And what the heck was the Avatar?
AKA Lance gets kidnapped by some kids and decides magical powers/destined saviours or not they need adult supervision.
AKA Keith gets stuck with a ansgsty prince, a tea loving uncle, goes through hell trying to find lance, make sure they don’t die, and resist the urge to commit manslaughter or homicide.
He succeeds at most of that stuff.

The End of the future in the silence of the Imbalance changes the present, and that in ways that can't be foreseen.

Summary
Soulmates share dreams. Katara’s soulmate is Fire Nation – which becomes much more problematic after their meeting in the reality.
Or: Katara befriends an enemy, Zuko has several life crises, Aang becomes a Zutara shipper, and Sokka develops a habit of adopting siblings. Azula just wants her family back.

Summary
The Fire Nation's Royal Family was blessed, they had been for centuries. They had the sight. Individual members of the royal family could see into the past or into the future of those they touched. If the gift was powerful enough their eyes would almost glow.
And then Zuko was born. With glowing eyes.
Ozai is ecstatic- until he realizes that Zuko can't see into the future. When he touches people he sees their pasts.
It is usually very hard to hate someone who is entirely human to you. It is hard to hate someone when you understand them as well as you understand yourself.
And Aang is very, very human.

Summary
Once, long in the past, perhaps she’d watch her worthless brother get branded by her father in abject fear and horror. She might’ve thrown up or even stood her ground as she challenged the Fire Lord to an Agni Kai. Maybe she would’ve run away with Zuko and her pathetic tea-loving uncle, run away to Ba Sing Se or Gaoling. Once, long in the past, she loved Zuko. Of course, that was neither here nor there. After all, she now lived in the present and to reminisce on such trivial matters was hardly something worthy of the daughter of Phoenix King Ozai. Like a phoenix she allowed herself to fall to blaze brightly tomorrow. But a common bird cannot survive a flame. Her worst sin was her arrogance and loyalty, and she’d die in an inferno of her own doing to repent.

Then you found the banished prince of the Fire Nation, who you've stuck to for the duration of his 3 long years at sea. While you didn't believe he'd find the Avatar, assuming the life cycle was broken a long time ago, you offered him protection.
That is, until a sudden shift in the energy of this world. Now, with hope restored, will you be able to persuade the stubborn boy, or will you choose to assist the young siblings of your sister tribe in their mission to guide Aang on his path to return peace?
And will this change offer you the chance to finally come back?
