    Summary

    Aang isn’t the Avatar. But… he used to be…

    But water doesn’t call to him, not in the way he knows it’s supposed to. And then, he is saved from Pohuai Stronghold by… an airbender?!

    This masked guy that saved him, rescuing him with two swords and a small bout of accidental airbending… is the Avatar. Not Aang. Not… not anymore.

    And he’s looking for a Master to teach him air.

    (Zuko is the Avatar. But… he wasn’t always…)

    Summary

    He thought he was so much, Zuko thinks, his eyes never leaving the tapestry. He thought he would be remembered for something great.

    “When Fire Lord Sozin started the war,” Zuko says, voice surprisingly firm, “he destroyed every piece of history that came before him. He rebuilt the Fire Nation under his image, and by doing that, he rebuilt what qualified as truth. He erased everything he considered weak, everything that could be interpreted as a wrongdoing or a failure. It didn’t fit with his narrative of our country. He thought that by destroying the shame of the past, he’d guarantee the glory of the future. And he was wrong.” Zuko takes a deep breath. “I don’t want to make the same mistake as him.”

     

    Or, what it means to make history. Featuring Toph's enthusiasm for destroying property, Aang being allowed to have negative emotions, and Zuko figuring out life.

    Summary

    Okay, so maybe Sokka’s noticed that Zuko’s left eye doesn’t really move that much.

    That’s fine. It’s fine, because it’s damaged, and probably injured terribly by some incredibly unlucky accident, and it doesn’t even have an eyelid, so like — Sokka can work with this. Maybe it just doesn’t have any functioning nerves anymore. Sometimes, eyes just don’t move; it’s all perfectly normal, a regular day, just like Zuko strolling into the Western Air Temple to volunteer himself as Aang’s firebending teacher/prisoner/Not A Friend.

    Walking in on said firebending teacher/prisoner/Not A Friend polishing an entire entirely-detached eyeball? Not so fine.

     

    or: zuko has a glass eye. toph is fully ready to exploit the fact.

    Summary

    Eight hundred years ago, the beloved Crown Prince of the Air Kingdom became one of the few humans in history to ever master all four elements. After managing to save a small village from a powerful dark spirit, Aang eventually ascended to godhood at the age of 18. However, the prince’s good luck eventually ran out, and despite his power and reputation, he could not prevent his kingdom from eventually falling to ruin at the hands of the Fire Kingdom.

    Now the only surviving member of his once-great kingdom, Aang is considered an outcast and laughingstock amongst the heavens for being the only god to have ever ascended to—and been banished from—the heavens twice. Despite having spent the last eight hundred years wandering the mortal world alone and powerless, Aang has still done his best to continue helping anyone who needs it for no payment in return.

    When the former Crown Prince suddenly ascends for a third time, word spreads like wildfire throughout the three realms. In the Spirit Realm, the news reaches the ears of a powerful being—The Blue Spirit—who has long searched for the fallen god and will do whatever it takes to find him.

    Summary

    The basic, basic idea: Aang rescues Zuko from *something* after his traitor-ship, they end up travelling together, and Zuko slowly falls for him (the feelings are reciprocated).

    To elaborate on that: in which the rest of the Gaang gets captured by the Dai Li during their time in Ba Sing Se and a lonely, dejected Aang rescues (and nurses back to health) Zuko who is injured in an unpleasant encounter with the Dai Li. They form a(n initially) begrudging alliance as they navigate Ba Sing Se while the universe keeps throwing shit at them.
