Summary
Ninety-six years after the last appearance of Sozin’s Comet, a freshly burned and banished thirteen-year-old Prince Zuko discovers a strange boy frozen in an iceberg.
When Zhao interferes with Zuko's plans to deliver the Avatar to his father, Aang helps Zuko and Iroh escape. They take refuge from the Fire Navy in the abandoned Air Temples, where the young Avatar searches for any remnants of his people that he can find. Along the way, Aang teaches an indoctrinated Zuko about the true nature of the Air Nomads, and the Fire Prince must come to terms with the fact that everything he has been taught was a lie, while the Dragon of the West must face the sins of his past.
Eventually, Aang and Zuko become close friends, and Zuko begins to feel things he has never felt for anyone before. However, Zhao will not give up easily, and will do whatever it takes to capture the Avatar and his traitor accomplices.
(A retelling of AtLA exploring the friendship and eventual romance that could have developed between Aang and Zuko if the circumstances of their meeting had been different.)

Summary
What if Sokka took up a power that he did not understand? What would it cost? And what would his family do to save him?
What if Azula had been shown another way? If someone had helped her, could she find her own redemption?
Underlying theme: The dereliction of duty and the consequences thereof, and that if you hold to your convictions and are resolved in your duty you will find salvation.
This takes place in the universe in which Aang did not use Sokka's jerky as fire stater in episode three, and the butterfly effect is strong indeed.
Constructive Criticism welcomed.

Summary
In a world where the Avatar was killed during the airbender genocide, the cycle has been repeating for one hundred years. Each time, the Avatar is hunted and murdered by the tyrannical Fire Lord who has expanded his reign to most of the world and declared himself Emperor.
Katara thought she was someone with unbreakable hope, but this world—this place—its devoured her. Surrounded by her enemy on every side, she has no one to turn to. Her home is hundreds of miles away, and she's been forced to live as a prisoner. The only thing keeping her alive is her ability to heal. The Fire Lord uses her to fix his wounded soldiers, and then she returns to the darkness of her cell. It's been seven years since she last saw the snow in the South Pole. Seven years since she's seen her brother. With no one to train her true power, she feels helpless. She's only ever around water to heal—she's not a fighter. She has no way out.
Until she sees him again. The boy with the scar—she saved his life when she was twelve. It was how they discovered her abilities. And he may be the one to finally restore her hope. He may be her way out. If only she hadn't gone and fallen in love with him along the way.

Summary
Szeto Private High School welcomes you to join:
Toph Beifong is so glad she finally convinced her parents to let her go to real school. But their wrestling team won't let her join. What, just because she's half their weights and blind? This won't stand.
Aang Daizin is not too worried about high school, more worried about the rebellion against a corrupt coal company he is supposed to lead. Oh, and worried about getting the girl he likes.
Katara Aputi is thrilled she got a full ride to the private school. Maybe she'll finally fit in, and pick up some new hobbies.
Zuko Caldera has worked so hard to get things where they are, he doesn't want any of that to change, that is, until he needs a tutor for his engineering class. This would be fine if the person tutoring him wasn't...
Sokka Aputi had just become accustomed to public high school. He is not ready for this change. He does not fit in here.
Watch these 5 students struggle through high school, mixed with their own problems, and trust me, there are a lot of problems. -
