Summary
After being burned by his father for refusing to fight him in an Agni Kai, thirteen-year-old Prince Zuko wants only two things: to restore his honor and re-earn his father's love, and to find some way to heal his face. So when a Fire Sage tells him there's a mystic spring deep under the castle that can grant him both things, he listens.
The next thing he knows, he wakes up in the middle of a city with foul air, technology beyond his wildest dreams, and lunatics on every corner. Shortly after he firebends to protect himself, a man dressed mostly in black catches him.
Who knew that being sent to another realm would be the best thing that ever happened to him?

Summary
“Shitty author, shitty novel! Prince Zuko deserves justice!” Aang’s famous last words as he took his last breath.
…Forced to read his favorite character’s unjust death and being killed after. Aang had had enough when he was yeeted into the same novel he died cursing because an annoying entity called ‘The System’ thought it would be fun transmigrating him into the most annoying novel he had the misfortune of reading.
To make things worse, Aang didn’t become an anonymous NPC, so he could help his favorite character from the sidelines. Instead, he became that damned Protagonist who will end up killing the Scum Villain, Prince Zuko!
……You know what? Let the world burn and the plot go up in flames! Aang was going to give Prince Zuko the happy ending he deserved, one way or another, even if it killed him!

A different retelling of ATLA, SVSSS style!

Sokka has been hated and abused his whole life for being a firebender, so when the Fire Nation comes to abduct him, it turns out to be a blessing. Everything changes when he meets Azula. Befriending the damaged princess, Sokka will learn that his new home is not nearly as perfect as it seems.
Meanwhile, Azula has never forgotten seeing her brother Zuko get murdered by their own father.

Befriending Sokka sets her on a new path, but will she continue to obey her father, or choose to make a stand against the war?

When he finally returns to the Fire Nation palace, he will have to decide whether to enjoy happiness with the people he loves, or risk everything for a chance at stopping the hundred year war.

agni has (not) abandoned him [rewrite] by iliwaren
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender (Cartoon 2005)

Summary
He survived two-and-a-half years as General Fong’s training dummy, months as Zhao’s prisoner, and weeks as a captive aboard the Chief of the Southern Water Tribe’s ship, all the while refusing to let his father’s cold, firelit eyes be the last he saw of the man. There was no way these children would keep him from going home.
"Yes," Zuko lied. 'I’ll help you defeat my father."
Or: After three years of imprisonment, Zuko escapes, just in time to arrive at the climax of the Invasion of Ba Sing Se. From there, he travels with the Avatar's team - first as a political prisoner and then, maybe (and indignantly), as Aang's firebending teacher.
(Zuko wonders why Agni let him suffer in the cold for so many years only to make him the Avatar's mentor. Destiny is a cruel, complicated thing. It takes him a while to figure out his.)

Summary
Katara never really cared for the stories, but now, holding the Avatar’s heart in her hand, soaking herself in his blood, she wondered if anyone would notice if she made a few amendments.
First: The avatar is dead and everyone should run
Second: No one can save you
-
Alternatively: A role reversal AU wherein Katara and Sokka replace Zuko and Azula, respectively. A few changes are made, however. The largest being that the Avatar is dead. The next is that soon, all benders will meet the same fate, including the very one that killed him.

Summary
"We're going to be alcoholics by the time we're thirty," Sokka sighed.
"You think we'll live to be thirty?" Zuko asked, honestly thrilled. Sokka had pretty good instincts. Perhaps Zuko should reevaluate his long term goals. He could start by having long term goals.
A more likely alternative was that Sokka was just a hopeless optimist. It just went to show, you never truly saw another man until you stood shoulder to shoulder against a fleet of war balloons intent on raining death upon the city you loved.
Zuko was just a normal guy with normal interests. He liked theatre, burglary, crotchety ostrich horses, watching the Blind Bandit crush her opponents in a glorious display of skill and violence... just your standard banished prince things. It wasn't his fault he kept stumbling into rebellions and uncovering long-buried secrets. Fine, maybe freeing the prisoners was on him, but he was completely innocent of all other treason. Zuko was his father's loyal son. He'd never betray his nation.
Or:
Uncle Iroh took a more creative approach to fostering Zuko's appreciation of other cultures. Now it's everyone's Problem. -

Summary
"And now! The moment you have all been waiting for! It is time to announce the tributes! Happy Hunger games! And maybe the odds be ever in your favour!”
Thousands of names, Katara thought desperately to herself, there are thousands of names in that bowl, it won’t be Sokka, it won't be Sokka.
“The district 11 male tribute will be…” Ming Ming paused to squint at the paper, “Sokka, son of Hakoda!”
“And now for the ladies...” Ming Ming said, but Katara barely hears her. Greif has already set in. Katara knows her brother, strong as he is, will not survive a Hunger Games, not against the terrifying fire-bending tributes from districts one, two and three. The odds are never in her family's favour.
This is proven true when Ming Ming announces that the female tribute from district 11 will be Katara.

Summary

When the spirit gives him a fresh start, will he live up to the man his uncle believed he could be, or is his incompetence the Avatar killed? How will Aang’s journey change when he isn’t being hunted? Will Katara be able to forgive Zuko when she learns the truth?

Summary
Sokka’s days in Ba Sing Se begin to blur together, but everything changes when one day fate (in the form of an angry ostrich horse) drops him into the mysterious Five-Seven-Five club. On the surface the club is dedicated to the art of haiku, but they may be more connected to the war than it initially seems.
To find a way to contribute to the war effort Sokka will need to learn the secrets of Ba Sing Se, but he can't seem to shake the mysterious Blue Spirit.

Summary
Left behind at the Misty Palms Oasis, Katara waits days for Aang, Sokka, and Toph to return. But when bounty hunters close in, her only chance at escape comes from the last people she ever thought she could trust: Zuko and Iroh.
Now traveling under false names, bound by a fake marriage, and with no room for mistakes, Katara finds herself on the road to Ba Sing Se. What begins as mutual distrust slowly turns into eating side by side, sleeping even closer, and something far more dangerous: comfort. She thinks it will end once they reach the city, but in a place crowded with millions of refugees, and stuck in the Lower Ring, she doesn’t have much hope of finding the others. With no leads and nowhere else to go, she resolves to wait for her friends to find her.
But in their cramped apartment, days turn into weeks, and Zuko and Katara begin to settle into something that almost feels like domestic bliss. It isn’t real. Or at least, it isn’t meant to be. But the longer they stay, the harder it becomes to remember where the act ends and something real begins.

Summary
Ozai stepped closer, his shadow falling over Zuko like a shroud. A large, unyielding hand settled on the back of Zuko’s neck, the fingers coiling into the roots of his dark hair. “Weakness must be purged, Zuko,” Ozai murmured, his voice closer now, a silken threat. “Disobedience, cleansed. You will remember the punishment your idiotcy caused.”
Fear, cold and sharp, pierced through Zuko’s chest. He knew what was coming. His eyes widened, fixing on the dark surface of the water, and his heart hammered a frantic rhythm against his ribs. He tried to pull away, a small, desperate whimper escaping him, but Ozai’s grip was unyielding.
Then, with a swift, brutal motion, his head was plunged beneath the water.

Summary
The comet was only a few days away and the Gaang needed their rest. Only Zuko and Toph had a different idea and went off for Toph's well-deserved life-changing field trip with Zuko to destroy the ass-lords house.
Turns out, there was much more to the Fire Lord's mansion than met the eye.
Turns out, Ozai somehow could become even more of an asshole.

Iroh never found Zuko under Lake Laogai, and Zuko was caught by the Dai Li in the middle of his Blue Spirit heist and brainwashed. He doesn't remember being a prince, or being banished, but that blue-eyed boy in his dreams sure is familiar.

Summary
The gaang are all famous actors starring in the new and upcoming show "Avatar the last airbender"! Zuko and Sokka are oblivious idiots crushing on each other and Katara and Aang aren't much better. Toph is a fighter, not an actor she just has to convince everyone else that.

Summary
Someone is lurking here, and they don’t want to be seen, he thought. He closed his eyes and reached out with his inner fire, sensing for other heat sources and…there, in the corner. He opened his eyes, only to recoil from shock. Uncle stiffened beside him, having followed his gaze to their unexpected visitor.
“Hello, Zuzu,” Azula crooned.
