"It was an accident." That was what Zuko had said to his crew when he used an element he hadn't been meant to. He wasn't the Avatar. The Avatar was supposed to be in the Earth Kingdom, hidden by its walls. Unless the old Avatar had died long ago ... and had already been replaced fifteen years ago. AU.

For the Fire Nation royal siblings, love has always warred with hate. But neither the outward accomplishment of peace nor Azula's defeat have brought the respite Zuko expected. Will his sister's plans answer this, or only destroy them both? These chapters (double-update): Ursa gets a rude awakening. Azula gets a letter. Zuko makes plans. Iroh finds them questionable. Also, EVERYONE

When Katara is captured by a Fire Nation Fleet and imprisoned at the palace, Zuko is forced to revisit lingering feelings from Ba Sing Se. Unsure where his destiny lies, a visit with his Uncle reveals more than he is ready to face. He knows his destiny is to help the Avatar, but does not anticipate how twined it will become with a woman who initially hated him. Katara x Zuko

Modern AU. After the death of his son, Iroh decides to become a foster parent. But when he takes in a troubled young teenager named Zuko, he may find that it was more than he bargained for. (Will also feature Zukaang)

The New Ozai Society is planning to overthrow Fire Lord Zuko and reinstate Ozai, but he has no idea of the upcoming coup. Only one protagonist knows of this, but Mai broke up with Zuko two years prior. Will she finally have the courage to tell him of the upcoming danger or not? Regardless of how Zuko discovers this, will he be able to stop this society in time? (T)

As the comet approaches the fire benders start to feel their sexual desires intensified. Azula has switched sides and has joined Aang and the Gaang. Now the group has two fire benders, both affected by the upcoming comet, both hiding secret passions. Will they succumb to the comet power? Or will they keep their...cool... MATURE CONTENT! ROMANCE! SOKKLA/ZUTARA

"My daughter is dying, and you are going to heal her if you want to live. The minute her heart stops, yours does too," growls Fire Lord Ozai as he at last releases a panicked Katara's throbbing wrists. [AU] [Azula/Katara-centric] [Mai/Azula/Ty Lee]

The Avatar the Last Airbender characters decide to write a letter to us about Fanfiction. They've sent it to me to share it with you guys. Let's see what they think of our Fanfiction!-(Cannon Pairings. I do not mean to offend anyone. I'm also guilty of some of the things mentioned here. This is written for fun)

One moment Azula is drowning in the Forgetful Valley and the next she is opening her eyes twelve years into a horrifying future, in which she is married to her worst enemy, has two children she has never even met, and is one of Fire Lord Zuko's trusted advisors. This is an appropriate time to panic. — Azula x Ty Lee. Complete.

Separated from her friends after her duel with Zuko in the Spirit Oasis, Katara realizes that her best chance of finding Aang and her brother is to become Zuko's prisoner. But when Zuko stops treating her like a captive and starts treating her like a comrade, she begins to realize that he may not be the monster she thought he was. Zutara.

A new disease has come around in Republic City. The Avatar, his wife, and the council are left to try interpret what it is. (Shipping pair: Kataang Rated M for mature content

The story of how Ursa finds herself and her children again.

After the failed coup of Ba Sing Se, Aang decides to give Azula a second chance. A decision that he may regret more than anything else.

Take Part 1 of The Promise as a given, incorporate cues from Part 2, then take off in a different direction, and what do we have? We've got Maiko and Kataang, angst, friendship, and a touch of realism. Come and enjoy an alternate version of the comic. Line forms to the left. Rated T for some themes.

While the gaang briefly splits up, Aang stays back in Ba Sing Se to continue searching for Appa when he decides to stop for tea at the Jasmine Dragon. The problem? Zuko hasn't found Appa yet, hasn't undergone his metamorphosis. When the two come face to face, Zuko must make a choice: If he attacks Aang, he'll blow his cover. If he doesn't, he loses all hope of going home.

Based on t-rex989's challenge: have Ursa join Team Avatar between Bitter Work and The Library.

There's darkness locked in every bud, and shadows bloom freely amidst despair. But sometimes, even creatures born in blackness learn to reach for the light of the sun; just as those conceived in brightness may cocoon themselves in ashes. Souls tangle like desperate weeds - they will grow into a garden or a stranglehold. M for abuse, rape, and dark/suicidal themes. [Eventual Zutara]

Zuko's everyday life as Firelord changes drastically when a stranger arrives, assigning him with the duty to raise his own dragon and claiming to be the last of a long known-to-be extinct group of specialty firebenders. Picture's my OC.

Azula has tried-and failed-to make a life for herself in the two years since she ran away after confronting her newly-found mother. Sickness and injury aren't the only conditions she faces with when Aang and Katara find her and bring her to Zuko's doorstep. As she recovers under Katara's care, the demons that destroyed her in the past threaten once again to take away her future.

It hadn't been their fault really. In fact, Zuko and Sokka were both too drunk to remember anything, but after telling just about every sexist joke in less than two hours, someone decided they had to pay the price.

The fourth annual 100 Year War Celebration is about to commence. For the first time in a long time, Team Avatar will be in the same place at the same time. But something (or someone) wants this new era of peace to end. It will take a lot of trust, time, and adrenaline to find out who keeps trying to kill Zuko. Zutara fic.

Takes place post-series. The war is over, and everyone's doing just fine… Until tragedy strikes, it is revealed that in fact things are far from fine, and people have to make hard choices. Starts with canon relationships, but will slowly evolve to Zutara. Chapter 15: Suspicions and Distractions

Three years after finding their mother, Azula schemes to overthrow Zuko. But wild Spirits return, people rebel against Zuko, the world loses faith in the GAang, relationships are strained, another world war is brewing and a faction with a peculiar red lotus for a symbol is rising. At a time like this, will Azula finally be a hero or remain a villain? KatAang, Zutara, Azulax? etc.

Four days after the comet, Azula negotiates with her brother to get out of prison, and works with the Gaang and her friends to restore balance after a century of war, working against well-earned distrust, echoes of her loss of control, and a new threat.

The Gaang investigates the mysterious burns on Zuko's chest. Set on Ember Island, just after they arrive and settle in. Addresses an abusive Father/Son relationship. Zutara. COMPLETE (Rated T because of child abuse/little bit of swearing)

This story takes place some time after The Search graphic novel series. An evil plot is uncovered to kill Aang, but Katara won't let that happen. LOTS OF KATAANG! Other pairings include Sukka and Maiko. I'm planning to update with new chapters whenever I get the chance. Rated T for some blood, violence, and romance. PLEASE WRITE REVIEWS OR PM ME TO LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK.

AU. The arrow injured the Blue Spirit instead of knocking him out, and Aang never found out his identity. Zuko made a Plan to find out more about the Avatar. He didn't expect so many truths to come from the lies.

Set after 'The Tales of Ba Sing Se': Zuko can't stop thinking about his date with Jin. The only problem is he has absolutely no idea how to deal with girls and dating with only his hopeless romantic of an uncle to guide him. Meanwhile, Jin is unsure about how to proceed, thinking that 'Lee' must be hung up on some other girl from before he came to the city as a refugee. ZukoxJin.

"I trust you, Azula."

When Ursa hears that Ozai has been ordered to kill their son, she makes a desperate gamble, and flees the palace with a badly wounded, but alive Zuko. Seeking help from Iroh, the 2 form a plan to hide Zuko from his father, someplace he'll never be found...until the Gaang find him while searching for a fire bending sifu for Aang. Warning: Adult themes and language!

The characters of ATLA live in my house and wreak havoc on the neighborhood. Read to find out more, I'll try to update every week if not every other week. Sorry about the terrible summary. Rated T just to be safe.

The day went by like any other for Ursa - Until her little boy came home for a visit.

He would leave them having their little girl talk alone, but he couldn't stop feeling a little cast aside. Written for the Royal Family Week, day 5 - endings.

What would have happened if Ursa had made a different choice when Ozai was ordered to kill Zuko? How would the world change. Rather than bargain to get Ozai on the throne in exchange for Zuko's safety, Ursa took her son and fled the Fire Nation to the South Pole. What role will a much different Zuko play in the Hundred Year War? Eventual Zutara

Zuko has a conversation with Katara about their life. Future AU. Zutara. One shot.

AU. A hundred years after the Water Tribe attacked the rest of the world, Zuko and Azula discover an Airbender named Aang in a ball of volcanic rock. Together, can they defeat the Water Lord and evade capture by the exiled prince Sokka?

It's a blistering hot day on Ember Island, leaving the Gang sweaty and inactive. What could possibly prompt them to get up? Story is much better than the summary!

In which Ty Lee connives, Azula can't resist, and Zuko accidentally sees more of his sister than he ever wanted to. Maiko&Tyzula, S3 Oneshot.

state testing... i was bored... so i revived my fanfiction account due to nothing better to do. and i guess... zuko and aang played some chess...?

Companion piece to Reunited, can be read separately. Zuko invites his old crew to dinner at the palace after he finds out they didn't die at the siege of the North.

What if Aang had a secret he spilled when Katara kissed him? Takes place at the end of the series, sorry, sucky summary but please r&r.

Seven pieces of Mai and Zuko, which had been published on Tumblr beforehand. Zuko x Mai: sexy, dramatic, pragmatic.

Zuko has never forgotten a kind Earth Kingdom family who tried to help him and to whom he brought only pain. Now that he is Fire Lord he might be able to bring them happiness again. Based on the episode Zuko Alone. Let me know what you guys think.

A tiny blurb I came up with half asleep. Just another day in the life of Zuko and Iroh at the Jasmine Dragon... 'Course, this intro my honestly be longer then the story itself... Fits with canon.

Once, it was just a oneshot - first chapter can still stand alone. Katara was captured by Zuko, but there was a lapse in communication. Takes place after The Fortuneteller. Fierce Katara, honorable Zuko, and meddlesome Iroh. Also, music night! Cover art by Watermistress - check her out on tumblr bcs she rocks!

A One-shot Headcannon I wrote after reading a sneak peak of "Smoke and Shadow". This is my own story of what kind of family lifestyle the Royal Family will/would have if they were all living together. This story centers around Azula, Zuko, and Kiyi. Just the daily life and shenanigans of the siblings and Azula's response to being an older sibling. Funny!

She was hunting firelilies when she found the dragon.

Zuko has the evening off and gets drunk in a dingy tavern, much to the amusement of the few unfortunate souls who realise who he is.

What if the Tree of time did more than just display images? Can it change time? Time traveling AU. Btw, nothing in here belongs to me. I am but a lowly story warper. Oh, and this may be very OOC. Enjoy!

Katara is the only one with scar touching privileges. One by one, the gaang realizes this. And perhaps, they start to realize something else as well...

Sokka takes coming up with a punishment for Ozai into his own hands and stupidity occurs. -JR

Pure, cracky oneshots of how characters from the Avatar world will act under the influence of Cactus Juice.

Set after The Search and The Rift. The upcoming comic, Smoke and Shadow, will deal with the New Ozai Society, this is what I'd like to see (although I doubt it will be this dark). Ozai's POV for most of the part - a look into his twisted mind. He gets a chance to regain his throne, at least temporarily, but he's a shadow of his old self, constantly battling his inner demons.

Zuko was absolutely sure about what kind of father he didn't want to be. Being a dad wouldn't always be easy, but he would always love them more than life itself. Lots of fluff. Zutara.

Ursa asks Zuko and Azula to babysit their little half-brother for the night.

The unexpected appearance and explosion of the Phoenix Gate in "The Rift" sent Elsa & friends to a world where Elsa's gifts are no longer as unique. Encountering new friends and foes with talents as wondrous as Elsa's own, she and her friends seek to return where they belong, but can even Elsa survive an encounter with her exact opposite? Precedes book 2, episode 30: The Library

"She was trapped in an imperfect world, seeking perfection that did not exist." Zuko tells Kiyi a bedtime story, but it isn't quite what Ursa expects. Oneshot.

These 4 chapters explore the graphic novels The Search and Rift, with unresolved plots: Kiyi and Ikem reunifying with Ursa/Noriko leading to Zuko's reconciliation with Mai, Ikem and Ursa's backstory love in Forgetful Valley, Azula's confrontation with herself after the fight with Zuko, and NEW 6/7: Ozai's revenge against Ursa in her return. All characters property of Nickelodeon.

Several years after the Hundred Year War, Aang's efforts to reconnect a secluded village to the rest of the world uncover a foe unlike anything he's ever faced. Rated to cover my bases with future chapters.

Even when Zuko loses his way, he'll always have a place to return to. Missing scene from "The Promise."

After the war, Iroh retired to Ba Sing Se. Retired; yeah, right... There's another reason why he didn't become the Fire Lord, and it's got nothing to do with jasmine or ginseng.

Zuko takes Azula from her prison to continue her life at the palace. He hopes he can change her. This is the story of solving and putting together the pieces of Azula's thoughts and past. And maybe find friends new and old.

One-shot. The characters have it out over all the pointless, boring, irrational stuff they had to endure in the comic "The Search." Iroh is angry at Zuko, Zuko's angry at the Gaang, everyone's angry at Ursa, and Mai and Toph are just enjoying the show. Spoilers for "The Search."

The immediate postwar period from Katara's ranty POV. shenanigans abound. Chap 24:Song arrives in Ba Sing Se. Shenaniagns ensue.

I wanted to do my take on the idea of a formal betrothal between Mai and Zuko as kids. Somehow, I wound up with a comedic satire of Fire Nation culture as seen through the eyes of Mai and Ursa. Weird, right? (Contains Maiko, as well as info on Ursa's backstory from 'The Search - Part 1'.)

Sort of tied in with The Search, a short fic about when Zuko and Azula are reunited with their mother through Katara's perspective.

Picks up after The Search pt. 1 after Zuko reads his mothers letter.

"You know, when I look at Zuko now, I regret making up that lie. It was my form of vengeance on what you did and when you bought it, I knew I just had to keep it up. But you turned into this monster, this selfish…"

Zuko has always had a habit of keeping secrets from the ones he loves. His wife, uncle, and best friends know this all too well. But what happens when, in an effort to protect her, Zuko keeps the secret of his life from his own flesh and blood?

A curious four year old Ozai and some information that a four year old doesn't need leads to awkward questions.

Sokka gets up to pee in the middle of the night and stumbles across Zuko enjoying some alone time. Set between The Boiling Rock and the Southern Raiders. Slight AU. Slash/Yaoi. Rated M for safety.

The war is over, but the era of "Peace and Love" is not shaping up as promised. Desperate for guidance, Zuko turns to his father. Ozai has problems of his own, but when Katara tries to help things get complicated. Zutara, the Gaang, and lots of Ozai. (Now Updated with Alternate Ending and Epilogue!)

Honora, Kya, and Bumi play a game with Aang. Gaang kids fic.

Zuko is banished from the Fire Nation after his fateful Agni Kai, but his Uncle is prevented from joining him. Zuko must face the world alone except for the sarcastic Lt. Jee, together they fight pirates, brave storms and search for the Avatar!

Stories about what happens when each member of the gaang has to babysit the kids: Kya, Bumi, Tenzin, Lin, and Zuko's daughter, Ursa, aka Honora.

A/U Crackship pairing in which Ursa uses her feminine charms and herbal therapy to convince King Kuei to call off the war. Takes place sometime during The Promise 3. No lemons, just some citrus juice/implied situations; more humor than anything else. I figure, she murdered someone for Zuko, why wouldn't she do other things for him? LOL! Ursa, Kuei, Sokka, Zuko.

The mother of Zuko and Azula has been banished for years, her whereabouts unknown. Only now that the war is ended can she be found. With a lead-in from Ursa's perspective, we may finally witness the reunion of a broken family. A bit of Maiko. Rated T for reference to violence.

Aang announces something tragic, one day, and the group doesn't want it to happen. Will they be able to stop Aang from leaving? Why does Aang even want to leave?

Each member of the Gaang meets their future self.

"It's been a while since I've kept a journal... This seems to be a time for starting new things, though, so I'll give it a try." A chronicle of the aftermath of the series finale. Spoilers for everything, naturally.

Another take on book 4. Episode 1, where Aang discovers a missing spirit, the Gang visits Ba Sing Se and the new firelord is poisoned

Zuko sets up a memo board for all the staff in the palace. What happens when the Gaang, and uncle Iroh, get hold of it? Pink here! A one shot!

Zuko is sick. The gang takes turns trying to make him feel better. One shot! Pink here! Read and Review!

Katara keeps a journal of all the shenanigans that the Gaang run into. Chapter 49: there is much talk about the future - now that the war is over and everything is changing. Hakoda and Zuko talk. Katara decides that some things in life are worth the risk.

AU-story; about Azula's eight birthday. She has a party inside the palace together with all the girls of her year, Zuko tries to fit the group but his sister gives him a hard time. Ursa knows her son very well and helps him.

Six months after The War, Zuko is feeling the stress of his office. Concerned, Mai & Katara ask Aang & Sokka to help the Fire Lord by taking him out for a night in the Caldera Capitol City. Of course, hijinks are sure to follow Sokka wherever he goes.

The What Could Be's, The What Should Be's, The If Only's, and The What If's of the curious series about everyone's favorite Gaang.

Seven years changes a person; no one knows this better than Ursa.

Written for Zutara Week prompt "awkward." Zuko and Katara discuss the Ember Island Players.

What in the spirit world? Join Jet and his spiritual mentor Lu Ten, as well as Zhao who would rather be anywhere else on their quest through the spirit world to gain peace. Also, special appearances by a variety of characters, alive and in spirit.

After watching "The Last Airbender" movie, the appalled members of Team Avatar decide it's up to them to fix the movie by coaching their live-action counterparts on how to be more like them. Hilarity ensues. Canon pairings, but lots of weirdness later.

AU Season three. Prince Zuko is taken prisoner by Team Avatar and Ozai sends Azula on a mission to rescue him. But Azula has her own plans for what will occur when she finds her brother.

Lieutenant Jee's reacton on receiving news of Prince Zuko's death and what followed this event.

A recollection of an extraordinary event which takes place directly after the fall of Ozai.

Now that the war is over, Zuko has time to search for answers behind what really happened to his mother. On his search he finds answers and details about everything that happened behind Ursa's banishment, Iroh's revoked birthright, and Azulon's death.

There were consequences to the spiritbending. Ozai's thoughts and emotions were his. Ozai's memories, everything Ozai had ever experienced was all in Aang's head. They lingered in the back, only coming forth at random. The world is rebuilding, Azula is crazy, Toph has marriage issues, Mai tries to be supportive, Zuko must lead a nation, Katara's confused, and Ozai just misses Ursa.

Post-war. Zuko has a dream where past tensions and issues are clarified and resolved.

How will the historians of the future see Aang and his friends? What books and stories will they write about them? Find out in the driest, most academic fanfic you'll ever read!

Do not consider painful that which is good for you." Rated for some imagery, and general Ozai-ness.

Zuko and Aang switch places. What would happen if Zuko was the last Airbender and Aang was the outcast, Fire Nation Prince? AU.

That lightning bolt really had killed Aang. The dying spirit of Avatar Roku approaches Zuko with a proposal of redemption. Time Travel.

Zuko decided to sent Ozai to Ba Sing Se to work at Iroh's tea shop - The Jasmine Dragon. Ozai x Foaming mouth guy

After the siege of the North Pole, Lieutenant Jee was branded a traitor and thrown in prison. The war is over now, so what could the Firelord have in mind for him?

When bad fanfiction arises, where do the authors go? To a school, where the cast of Avatar teaches them to write...

Ozai's only true friends were the turtle ducks. The very cute turtle ducks.

Katara is sick. It's up to Aang, Toph, Sokka and Zuko to feed each other for four days until she gets better.

Iroh’s sick, and the only cure involves, of course, cabbages. After cursing this cruel twist of fate, Katara sends Sokka out to find the cabbage merchant, lest he incur the wrath of… Well, everyone. T to be safe.

Ozai is away, and Ursa struggles to keep her sanity while caring for young Zuko and Azula.

Since the dawn of time, there have been three things deemed as essential conversation material for male bonding: Food, women, and pointy objects. A Zuko and Sokka friendship story.

Ozai wants to bake a cake. The problem is. Ozai can’t bake. Can the almighty masked chef help? Crack fic!

Ozai has finally met his match...

-Discontinued- Zuko's Komodo Rhino is sick and an animal healer tells him some very surprising news about his creature. Slight warnings.

If you give Zuko a cookie...

Sick of romance? Tired of fluff? Then you should read 'bout Sniffing Iroh's stuff.
