5 sins turned to virtues

Lust

Not many people would think of him if they heard the word, but they were sadly mistaken. He had almost risked the world just because of his feelings for her. And even in the mid of battle, as ever blazing fires created hell on earth, he refused to let her go. Most people refer to that fight as the triumph of good over evil but to Aang, it's far more than that. For him, it was his personal purgatory, forcing him to let go of that which he dreaded the most.

And now, he's still looking for a gentle way to inform a former object of desire of his sudden turnabout….

Envy

He had spent the largest part of his live enviously. He was never good enough, not for his father, not for his sister and certainly not good enough for his grandfather. He had watched his sister train along side his dad, he had watched as his dad bestowed all his love on her, and he had watched as they had something together that he would never have. He had spent so many of his night wondering around, after his banishment, wondering why his father didn't love him, why his sister was always better then him. Never had burned the fire of envy any stronger. But as he saw more and more of the world, he realised his mistake. So many people in the world were worse off then he was, he learned so much from the avatar and his friends. He learned how life should really be. And yet he went and betrayed them, and for what? For the shallow illusions he had been chasing after ever since his youth.

He knew what he had done was wrong, and he tried to change him, but the road to redemption was long and hard. The only true way to do so was kindness...In his mind, there was only one person who was the embodiment of the word, and her name was Katara. Sure, she threatened to kill him on multiple occasions, and for that he couldn't' blame her, but he had seen the way she acted around others, and he wanted to be just like her. Selfless for the good of the world.

And that's why he selflessly flung himself for the attack which would have cost her live. Love showed him the ways of kindness

Greed

The fire nation was the wealthiest nation in the world, and she had been brought up spending money like water, yet deep down, a terribly feeling called greed had her in his icy claws. It didn't matter that she was a firebending prodigy, she still wasn't the best. It didn't matter that she was the princess of the most powerful nation of the world, no she could always become the heir (or fire lord, though she refused to explore that thought). But there was one thing she wouldn't dare to admit. She was greedy for one reason. Despite all her wealth, she was the poorest when it came to love. She despised her brother, how could she not? He had it all while he couldn't even lay a hand on her while training; he had it all even though Father wasn't ever going to crown him Fire Lord (even if he was the heir). He had all the love of their mother, the one thing she longed for but would never ever achieve. The one thing that broke her mind in the end.

Long years of meditating and reconsulation revealed what she tried to push away to the far corners of her mind, and that's why Azula, once feared across the world, was working in an orphanage, completely content. She was going to give them the one thing she never had, and so gluttony turned into charity.

Sloth

Mai had never cared much for her life. Why would she? Her life was already decided from the moment she was born and she would have to follow it through till the day she died. For her, life meant being raised in an environment where nobody cared for you unless you did something wrong, life meant following others wishes without even thinking about yourself, and needless to say, Mai was grew bored of it. There was no joy in her life and she despised those who did experience joy. But when Mai saw Zuko at the boiling rock, she knew that without him, the world would be just like her, and she refused to stand by any longer. She refused to let anyone else decide her life for her any longer, so when she attacked the guards who were going to kill Zuko, and with him the hope of the world, she attacked the life she had been living before. From now on, she cared about something and she wasn't going to let that small flame of hope be extinguished.
Sloth had turned to diligence and Mai wasn't about to change back.

Wrath

He had spent the largest part of his life hating the fire nation. It had taken everything from him, his parents, his home, his life. Anger burned brightly in his heart and he had long nurtured it. He was going to make them pay, all of them. He had almost killed a village of innocent bystanders just to get his revenge, and that was his turning point. The waterbender had forced him to look at what he had become, and it didn't please him. He had become exactly like those he despised. And that's when he made his decision. From now on, he would still try his best to end the fire nation's tyranny, but he wouldn't do it like before. No, he would try doing so by adding the avatar. Without him, peace would never happen, and peace was all his weary heart required now.

Wrath had turned to patience.

Just to clarify:

The first is about Aang, the second is about Zuko, the third about Azula, the fourth about Mai, and the fifth about Jet. I might do the two other sins, but right now, I couldn't really decide to pair which sin with what person. I honestly tried to make unexpectant pairs, and I hope I succeeded (Well, I know I failed with the Mai part but still)

Anyway, I would love you if you reviewed this chapter.
