Summary
Katara hates Ba Sing Se. She hates the Dai Li and she hates sitting back idly watching the people of the lower ring suffer. After weeks of little progress in finding Appa or contacting the Earth King, Katara decides to take matters into her own hands. Being the Painted Lady offers her a way to offer what little help she can without jeopardising their mission.
But when the Blue Spirit appears, things take an unexpected turn. She takes up arms with the man in the wooden mask, fighting the criminals threatening the peace she was working so hard to foster. There's an undeniable tension that flows between the two of them, and the Painted Lady finds herself drawn to the man with the husky laugh and pale hands.
Katara however, knows better. The Painted Lady might be the one to reap the pleasures of the night, but it would always be Katara who suffered the consequences.

Summary
Тренування магії вогню мало зміцнити Аанга, але його власні страхи обернули полум'я проти того, кого він поклявся захищати. Випадковий рух, фатальна помилка – і Катара, обпалена та безпорадна, опиняється на межі. Проте справжній жах лише починається: коли опіки не гояться, а надія тане з кожною годиною, команді доведеться зіткнутися з чимось гіршим за фізичний біль. Яку ціну доведеться заплатити за порятунок? І чи зможуть вони врятувати її, коли сама природа повстає проти них?

Summary
"Fire. Air. Water. Earth. My aunties used to tell me stories about the old days, a time of peace, when the Avatar kept balance between the Fire Nation, Air Nomads, Water Tribes, and Earth Kingdom. But that all changed when the Water Tribes attacked. Only the Avatar mastered all four elements. Only he could stop the ruthless waterbenders. But when the world needed him most, he vanished. A hundred years have passed and the Water Tribes are nearing victory in the war. Five years ago, my father, uncle, and cousin journeyed to the Earth Kingdom to help fight against the Water Tribes, leaving me and my brother alone. Some people believe that the Avatar was never reborn into the Earth Kingdom, and that the cycle is broken. But my brother never lost hope. He still believes that, somehow, the Avatar will return to save the world."

Summary
Zuko never wanted Izumi to feel pressured to be a perfect firebender like he was by Ozai, but he had hoped to foster a love for firebending that came from the lessons he'd once learned from Ran and Shaw. With Izumi showing an intense dislike for firebending, he feels like he's failed at that goal.
When he receives a message from the Sun Warriors asking for assistance, Zuko decides to bring Izumi along, hoping that it will give her a new perspective.

Summary
As Fire Lord, one thing that Zuko was in charge of was sentencing the prisoners. Usually, that only included going through the person's file and determining if the crime is worth a trial or not. But now, after the war ended, the job obligations changed—at least for the time being. Now, Zuko needed to go through all the files and determine if the person on the list even committed a crime at all.
And one file he comes across is of a man being charged for being the Blue Spirit. Which isn't right. He is the Blue Spirit. Zuko.Or
Zuko leaves clues that lead his guard to believe he's the Blue SpiritSeries

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
The Agni Kai happened 2 years earlier than in canon. After fighting for his life from his wounds, Zuko wakes up miles away from home with an impossible mission and a ragtag crew of the worst soldiers in the navy. He sees this and decides he doesn’t want to please a father that would do this to him, so he ignores his quest. Banished and without purpose, things aren’t looking good for the once prince of the Fire Nation. But hey, at least he has his uncle with him.
*Basically, a story where Zuko realizes he’s been abused a lot earlier and says ‘Fuck you’ to Ozai and his quest. He decides that we wants to stop the war instead and he and his crew begin to fight the Fire Nation. When they find the Avatar, Zuko is overjoyed. The only problem is Aang is under the impression Zuko’s trying to capture him.

Summary
EDIT 11/4/24: Link to rewritten version: https://archiveofourown.to/works/60313531
EDIT 2/8/24: I will be rewriting this fic at some point because I want to flesh the story out more but I am marking this as complete for now because I don't know if I should just delete it, but I like the premises. Enjoy?
Besides the enflamed scar, Zuko looked strangely… handsome. His lighter skin glowed almost ethereally in the Artic sun, and his golden eyes were pools of honey that Sokka found himself drowning in. Sokka envisioned the banished Fire Nation prince to be a tall, old soldier with greying hair and a mildly xenophobic attitude. Zuko looked nothing like that. If only he wasn’t Fire Nation...
Zuko was having a similar epiphany. Who was this boy standing in front of him with elaborate war paint and the sharpest jawline he had ever seen? Who did this sun-kissed-skin, ocean-eyed, spiky-wolftailed vision of a man think he was? A fleeting thought passed through Zuko’s mind, If only he wasn’t the Avatar. Nevertheless, ogling pretty boys would never bring his honor back.
