please get this man some therapy

“I’m so proud of you, my nephew.” Uncle cups Zuko’s face in his lined hand. The gesture is so tender, his palm so warm, that Zuko has to take a fortifying breath against the sudden swell of emotion in his chest. “I want to be a good leader, Uncle,” Zuko says. “I want to look after my people.” “You will,” Uncle says. “You are, nephew.” In a new era of peace, Zuko works to be a very different Fire Lord than his forefathers. Based on this tumblr post.

this is what it looks like when your grandfather loves you but your whole family's emotionally constipated.(except for your uncle, but that might just be all the tea he drinks.)

100 years ago the air nomads were killed along with the then avatar, the only surviver was an especially gifted with the spirit realm airbender boy. Two more avatars passed without consequence and now a new avatar, Prince Zuko of the Fire Nation, has arisen- But he's incredibly conflicted over his new destiny...

Lu Ten survives the siege of Ba Sing Se, and Iroh returns home to depose the usurping Ozai. Determined that no more sons or daughters will die in war, he begins peace negotiations with the Earth Kingdom and Water Tribes.... offering Zuko and Azula, his secondary and tertiary heirs, as marriage-pieces. Zuko is offered to the Water Tribe... specifically, to Hakoda and his daughter Katara. Mild smut.

If Uncle hadn't insisted on making Zuko wait tables filled with giggling girls, this wouldn't have happened. If the damn Water Tribe peasant hadn't heard about the amazing new tea shop, this wouldn't have happened. If Zuko didn't come up with such terrible ideas while panicking, this wouldn't have happened. Though honestly, Zuko probably would've fucked up somehow anyway, so what was the point in griping? Now available in EPUB format by the delightful dstrt1xn!

Zuko was never banished from the fire nation, he tried to fight the agni kai, he got burned, but he was never banished. only for the fact that he was considered a national treasure for his kindness and compassion to the people. When the gaang finds this out, they hatch a plot hoping to end the war once and for all,spoilers, nothing goes according to plan.

Kuvira has fallen and surrendered to the United Republic. What follows is a long road of redemption as she comes to terms with the horrible things she's done and learns to better herself. When both new and old enemies alike begin to emerge and threaten to throw the world out of balance once more, Kuvira vows to work with the Avatar to maintain that balance, and right her wrongs. IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER: Please pay close attention to the ships listed under the relationships tag. They're not just there for show; they actually happen within the story. If you happen to despise one of the ships listed there (such as Korvira, the main ship in the story), especially if it actually enrages you to think or read about, then this fic probably isn't for you.

The Avatar must protect nature, foster peace, and keep the world safe.The CEO of Future Industries must expand, innovate, and, at the end of the day, turn a profit. Korra and Asami have fallen in love, and fallen hard. But when their duties come between them, their world convulses around them, and their pasts still haunt them both, can the world's most powerful couple survive? (Lots of Fluff, Lots of Character Analysis and Development, Copious Angst later on. Very wide-ranging but Korrasami focused. Reading previous works in series not necessary.)

When La demands justice for Tui's favored mortal, Agni proposes a compromise and spirits become more active in the world of man. Or... Fire Lord Zuko finds himself entangled in the spirits' schemes. He has been stripped of everything -- including his name -- except for the golden flame that adorns his head and the throne from which he guides his country. He... has a lot he needs to process, and even more to do.

Sokka's eight years old when he learns the dark and sobering truth that changes his life forever: he's a firebender. Unable to accept the truth himself, let alone share the truth with others, he lives in denial and repression for years until the Avatar comes along. As they travel across the globe, Sokka wrestles with his identity and his views on those who practice firebending. Are they all evil? If they are, does that mean he is, too? Told as a series of one-shots at different points throughout the series in chronological order through Sokka's POV.
