Summary
100 years ago, Fire Lord Sozin lead the Fire Nation into war against the other three nations, completely wiping the Air Nomads off the map and turning his sights to the Water Tribes and the Earth Kingdom. The Avatar, the sole person responsible for the peace of the world, vanished around this time and hasn't been seen since, and many have begun to lose hope that he even still exists.
Aang was never the Avatar. His twin sister, Anya, was saved at birth because she was the Avatar's next incarnation. Now, a hundred years have passed and as the last Airbender, it's his jobs to teach the current Avatar airbending...whoever that may be.
For three years, Zuko has searched for the Avatar at the behest of his father, along with the promise to have his honor returned to him. Desperate, Zuko has put every once of his being into this search, and now his luck seems to be turning around. An airbender - the last in the entire world - has been sighted in the Southern Water Tribe, and Zuko just knows that he knows where the Avatar is - if the nomad isn't the Avatar himself.
Yet he keeps insisting he's not. So if he's not the Avatar, then who is? And what is going on with these damn dreams?

Summary
She once believed Aang could save the world, but now, she must save him.
Five years after Lord Ozai defeated the Avatar, the world has fallen to the new Fire Empire. When rumors of Aang’s survival begin circulating, Katara can’t stand by and do nothing. Instead, Katara leaves the relative safety of her refugee camp to investigate the rumors, disguising herself as a Dai Li agent in order to infiltrate the Fire Nation Palace.
While Katara intends to keep a low profile, she draws the attention of the much hated Prince Zuko after saving his life. He recruits her on his mission to scour the nations and destroy rebel camps. She can’t say no without exposing her identity. But everything is not as it seems, and something strange is going on in each of the camps they find. Could the prince who betrayed her all those years ago really be helping from the inside? She needs to find Aang, but she might find something else along the way: second chances and love.

Summary
Blinking open her eyes, she mused that death was truly strange.
She had never dedicated time to thinking about death–it was a useless endeavor. Now, though, she let herself muse. Her life had been arduous but–and she loathes to admit it–it had gotten better. She had gotten better. It was hard for her to believe, even now after her life had quietly come to an end, but it had happened.
Taking a short breath, she feels a cherished warmth swell within her.
Her next breath stuttered.
That wasn’t right. She had passed on to the Spirit World; she wasn’t supposed to feel warm.
(or Azula finds herself in the body of Kaminari Denki while Katara finds herself in the body of Todoroki Shouto and they decide to take hero society by storm, Aizawa is very concerned)

Summary
“I need to go to Ba Sing Se.” Her determination was followed by a heavy silence of contemplation from Zuko and Iroh as they exchanged indecipherable looks with one another, Katara felt the need to elaborate. “I don’t… know how to get there.”
After the disaster of a showdown with Azula, Katara is separated from her friends and brother, stranded alongside none other than the Fire Prince Zuko and his uncle in the middle of nowhere. Left with little choice, she reluctantly agrees to an alliance of convenience proposed by Iroh; they’ll travel to Ba Sing Se together—giving Katara the opportunity to search for her friends while they start anew as civilians in the city. Now, with old enemies turned allies by her side, she must make her way to the Impenetrable City— where she knows the Gaang will ultimately arrive.
Building a life for herself at Ba Sing Se is hard enough, being fake-married to Zuko is infinitely harder.
In which,
Katara’s devastating tea-pouring skills might just guarantee her the esteemed position of Fire Lady.

Summary
They have no idea when things started changing between them. Maybe it was instantaneous- like when lava touches water and solidifies immediately with an angry hiss of ember and steam.
Or it could have been the little things - reading Fire Nation plays by the turtleduck pond under the setting sun, swapping stories and legends of their people in front of crackling fire in the eternal darkness of the South Pole, bickering about Pai Sho on the deck of Zuko’s ship, having snowball fights at Wolf Cove and building sandcastles on Ember Islands, telling stories of their mothers and siblings and uncles and gran grans - giving each other little glimpses into their lives.
No matter how one thing was sure- they were no longer strangers, a thorn in each other's paths. Not really friends but not enemies either. Somehow, somewhere along the way, in their dreams and only in their dreams, Katara and Zuko found each other.
In other words - Katara and Zuko start meeting each other in their dreams and shenanigans ensue.

Summary
1. Find the Avatar, teach him to Firebend.
2. Convince Chief Hakoda *not* to kill him.
3. Free Uncle from prison? Beg for his forgiveness.
4. Keep his new buddy Sokka from finding out how much Zuko really likes seeing Katara dressed in red, even when she's screaming at him.
5. Prevent the end of the world/Stop the Father- Fire Lord/Restore honour to the Fire Nation.6. Get Katara back.
Zuko's no stranger to unattainable goals, but if his 'so you just defected from the Fire Nation and want to save the world from your Father's reign of terror' (and win back over the love of his life) to-do list gets any longer, he might just collapse.

Summary
"If I don't do this, no one will."
Katara's lips thinned because she knew he was right, but she would never admit it. It wasn't that Zuko was being reckless – she had seen enough of that from him and his companions over the years to know it was practically a way of life for them. No, what truly irked her was the fact that he hadn't even considered inviting her along.
'I'll save you from the pirates.'
"Then I'm coming with you."

Summary
As the eldest son of the chieftain he was tasked with protecting the village when his father left to aid in the war. As an older brother, he has to take care of his younger siblings Sokka and Katara. After their mother was killed, too much changed. He didn't have time for fun and games with war on their borders. To keep his remaining family safe he had to close off his heart and train relentlessly for the battle he knew they'd face eventually. The Avatar wasn't coming back. Or at least, that's what Ayaan thought, until a bald kid with blue arrows showed up.

Summary
She calls him at 2AM and doesn’t expect him to answer.
The phone rings exactly three times before there’s the sound of ruffling of bedsheets and the soft groaned cursing of an unknown voice, urging a baby to come back to bed.
Maybe she has the wrong number and this is stupid and of course he’d not keep the same number, she’s so stupid-
“Azula?” Zuko’s gruff voice ask, worried and sleepy and confused and allowing her to take a deep relieved breath as her hands grip the paper in her hands in the dark of Father’s office.
“She’s not dead, Zuzu.”(or the Modern AU where Azula runs away from her abusive father, Zuko is a good brother and Sokka is trying to cope with this sudden ‘Find Mom’ road trip his boyfriend and his boyfriend’s baby sister are getting into).
