    Summary

    They call themselves the Freedom Fighters, a ragtag gang of teenagers with nowhere else to go. Azula thinks the name is stupid, or, she would if she wasn’t a part of the group.

    (Actually, scratch that, the name is stupid, but she was overruled by Piandao on that.)

    Or the one about found family, blood ties, and loyalty.

    Summary

    He paused a moment, let her finish, then cocked one incredibly bushy eyebrow at her as she turned back to him. “Need a job?”

    Talking to strangers with white vans on the side of the road about her very personal, very recent lack of a job was crossing several lines of comfort. “Um - yes, somewhat. But I’m fine.”

    Just as she was snatching up her helmet to flee, he rummaged around in a pocket of his frayed jeans for a moment, his tongue stuck out in concentration. Like a magician revealing a rabbit from his hat, with a flourish Bumi produced a small rectangle of paper. “Well, if you want a job, let me know. I’m looking for an all around handyman for a school. A private school.”

    “Um.” He handed her the business card, one end torn, the opposite end folded over. A mysterious brown stain nearly concealed the business name - Republic City Boarding School. “Thanks.”

    -

    When Asami accepts a job at an isolated, hidden boarding school, she finds more than she bargained for - as well as everything she's been searching for.

    Summary

    There's so much to unpack there that she doesn't even know where to begin. It's a lot, and he hadn't even said much. The fact that at the very least, Zuko hadn't suffered under his father's hand, it's a relief, that at the very least he had a father, is another great relief. (That Azula had actually suffered... that it's not a great relief. That is a great worry.)

    Summary

    You're a firebending detective on loan from the NYPD.

    You needed to get away, to figure yourself out. Not many firebenders wanted to pick up on the odd case, especially with the downgrade in pay and transfer to a cold Midwestern city at the start of winter. But the case dealt with a topic you were interested in.

    Deviants.

    Which is why you said yes.

    However, Detroit is giving you plenty of unexpected surprises such as a broken stove, a flirty jerkbender, and an alcoholic superior. You especially didn't expect the android sent by Cyberlife as an extra partner.

    This was definitely not going to be pan comido.
    ...
    Latest programming. Top Coordination. Best Human Interaction Protocols.

    As CyberLife’s latest prototype, RK800 (aka Connor) was created to be the best of the best. Which is why CyberLife assigned him with their top mission: to stop deviants.

    Yet in the world outside CyberLife’s plain white walls, Connor finds things aren’t as they seem compared to the test rooms. Still, he is a machine designed to complete a task and he’ll always accomplish his mission.

    Right?

    Summary

    Although being successful actors, Korra and Mako both have their fair share of disappointments when it comes to the field of romance. Both of Mako's exes dated each other, and then proceeded to have a messy break up.

    It’s been months since their break up, but when Korra isn’t obsessing over building up her acting career, she finds her thoughts plagued by Asami. Soon, their lives unfortunately entangle again.

    If you like drama, romance, friendship, acting, warped, unrealistic depictions of hollywood, performing arts, fine arts, and visual arts, this is certainly a fanfic for you!

    “Main cast” in order of importance to fic: Korra, Asami, Mako, Tenzin (along with his family), Prince Wu, Bolin and Opal ( minor role)

    Summary

    Tommy was happy with his life as the Avatar. Even if everybody thought the Avatar was a myth at this point.

    Even if he hadn't spoken to or interacted with his family in years, it was completely fine!

    He is fine.

    Until people start finding out.

    (or: a dsmp avatar au where tommy is the avatar. set in modern day because i cannot write historical fiction!)

    Summary

    His voice is rough and loud and would be attractive to any girl but her. The song he chose speaks of a girl who’s shy and needs the writer to rescue her. Based on the slight slur on every second syllable Katara is certain he’s indulged in some alcohol for an additional boost of courage, and she wishes he hadn’t because maybe then he would’ve thought twice about serenading her, doing something she explicitly asked him not to, beneath her window in the middle of fucking winter.
    She breaks up with him a week later, encouraged by Suki’s and Toph’s hysterical snorts of laughter at her retelling of the awful, horrible, no-good experience. When he, frustrated and embarrassed, asks her why, she tells him she just got bored of him.
    It’s as close to the truth as Katara, kind and giving to her very bones, is willing to tell him. And if it makes Zuko quirk his eyebrow at her, well, all the better.
    She bets Zuko wouldn’t do it to her.

    Or,
    3 times Katara got serenaded, and 1 time she didn’t.

    Summary

    “I need you to do something for me.”

    “Okay.” Sokka didn’t even need to consider before he answered. He rolled over on his bed, phone pressed tightly to his ear.

    “I haven’t even told you what it is.” Zuko's laugh sounded through the phone. Sokka had half a mind to record it just so he could listen to it on loop when Zuko wasn’t around him.

    “You know I’d do anything for you.” And it was true. Zuko could ask him to swallow the sun, and Sokka would do it in an instant, physics be damned.

    or; Zuko comes out to his father. Ozai doesn't believe him, so Sokka agrees to fake-date Zuko in order to prove it. What could go wrong?

    Summary

    When sports agent Zuko has a crisis of conscience, he pens a heartfelt company-wide memo that only seems to resonate with single father and company accountant Sokka. Juggling deals for clients like Toph Beifong is hard, but dealing with the repercussions of his memo might be harder, and finding himself might be the hardest.

    Meanwhile, Sokka is a single dad, making it work, and finds Zuko to be the first person outside of his family he can believe in.

    Summary

    Sokka is wiping down a table when Aang is escorting Iroh to the door, so he's close enough to hear Iroh say, “My nephew will come by to count the registers for the nights I'm gone, so I've instructed him to help you close. But he's not too busy this week, so feel free to call him if things get too busy during the day.”

    “I… I will definitely remember that.” Aang replies hesitantly.

    Summary

    In a prejudiced modern world where Benders are confined to their own territories, sixteen-year-old Prince Zuko lives a solitary royal life, burdened by his dysfunctional yet exploitable firebending. Burned one day for opposing King Ozai's nightmarish plan, he flees, driven by a single goal: to escape further pain. But this desperate flight is hindered by his injuries, the relentless pursuit of the Red Army, hidden foes, and meagre resources. He can only go so far without help.

     

    Afterwards in the course of his recovery, a dilemma weighs upon him. As the sole outsider privy to the possible catastrophe looming over both Normals and Benders, should he dare to actively defy his father's tyranny, or should he hand over the burden to more capable hands and focus on forging himself a new life free of suffering.


    LONG HAUL Modern with Bending AU, in which Zuko is older when he's burned, has unique firebending, ditches Ozai early, gets himself unintentionally adopted by a SWT crew, joins a dysfunctional family of rebels, hunts for Ursa, discovers himself, and is eventually joined by the Gaang.
