Title: Turning the Tides
Rating: T to M
Full-Length Summary: A thousand years ago, the Air Nomads were executed in a one night massacre, that took place around the world. It was believed that the Avatar was killed during the strategic attack with the rest of the Air Nomads. However, the young airbending maiden had ran away years prior to the attack, and trapped herself in an iceberg, in suspended animation. Her name is Avatar Anju.
998 years have passed sense the war begin, two siblings (Suluk and Kamarua), from the Southern Water Tribe found themselves trapped in the glaciers of their homeland. There, they discovered Anju imprisoned in her iceberg, which they then free her from. Anju is then introduced into a world she could never imagined. A world of war, where the Fire Nation is the blame. A world without harmony. It's her destiny to become a fully realized Avatar and return balance to the world by defeating the Fire Nation. Anju sets out to master the three unlearned elements, where she makes friends and enemies along the way.
However, the journey is not an easy one as she and her friends are pursued by Fire Prince Zuko. A banished Fire Nation prince and son of Fire Lord Ozai, who is obsessed with capturing Anju to restore his rightful place on the throne. Prince Zuko has trained for the day he would captured the Avatar, only to discover she was nothing like he was expecting. No older than his own sister, and very much naïve to the world, but he quickly learns that Anju has skeletons of her own. But she's not the only one with secrets as Zuko's past comes back to haunt him as the young maiden slowly awakens his demons, and for this, he cannot bring himself to harm her.
During her journey to master the elements, Anju discovered that Sozin's comet will return within three summers, and, if that was to happen, the Fire Nation will destroy the world. She must master all four elements, and end the War before it can happen, a feat that has never been done before.

Yes. Yes. If you did in fact read the full summary you will realize some huge changes between the canon story and mine.
First thing first: You probably noticed the line 'Sozin's Comet Will Return within THREE summers'. This is probably the biggest twist of them all. Everything taking place currently in the story happens three winters before Sozin's Comet returns (three summers). I originally was just going to keep the same timeline but I plan on tossing in a whole lot of drama once the gang gets to Ba Sing Se, which will even surprise you guys because I have yet to see this done on any genderbent Avatar stories. The comet only comes ever 1000 years.
Second: Anju's age. I aged her up a few years, only two, which would make her the same age as Azula and Kamarua (14 going on to 15). Again, I was going to keep her the originally age of her male-counterpart but I had a tough time seeing through the eyes of a 12/13-year-old. Besides, I'm not comfortable seeing a 12-year-old with a 14/15/16-year-old. I mean, I am okay with age gabs, only when both partners are older than 18. Because of this, everything took place earlier, such as Avatar Roku's death

When I first wrote this story, I didn't have the contents up. I finished the contents on 2/16/2017. Yeah, I know it's a bit late but better late than never.
This is not the official contents for the story, just the lay out. I'll end up making a few alterations to the contents depending on the lengths of the chapters and a few extras, but otherwise, this is how its going to play out. Roughly. Hope you like the changes.
So, what do you think is the major plot twist?
