- -'to god alone we kneel' by ThatWeirdGuyInTheBushes
- summary: Ba Sing Se got him when he was two years into banishment and so close to citizenship it burned his fingertips. Burned them more than they burned last summer, with shaking hands and a half-remembered prayer.
If Zuko dies, he will die Earth Kingdom, and his grave will be covered in flowers.
finished, 1/1 chapters, no major ship, word count: 4,678
- -'Porcelain Dolls' by HarmlessHagoftheWoods
- summary: Behind towering stone walls and circles of guards, Toph plays the role of a porcelain doll. She sits quietly, hands in her lap, and chipped pieces hidden under tolls of fabrics. She takes her father’s hand, and allows him to guide her through the courtyards. She sits still as china glass while her mother sets braids into her fine hair. She doesn’t speak. She doesn’t demand. She doesn’t break the fragile part she plays in this home.

- -'the threads of fate weave a cruel web' series by asthmaticbee
- summary: Sokka is born a firebender and taken by the Southern Raiders when he is 9, growing up in the palace as Prince Zuko's royal companion and best friend.
Kya, in turn, survives the last Southern Raid.
This changes both everything and very little.

- -'monsters underneath' byMashpotatoeQueen
- summary: Team Avatar gets captured, and it is not the end of the world but it is still an experience unpleasant and unkind. Katara grits her teeth and she does not grin but she does bear it.
“Life isn’t fair, Katara,” Sokka had told her once, eyes hard and knowing and caring and real, and she had tasted a challenge on her tongue and decided you couldn't know unless you tried.
Because listen, listen, her kindness is not in her predisposition, it is an effort and a battle all to its own, and she will fight for her right to live in a world of her own making with her every breath. Her core is made of ice as hard as steel. She is not a blessing- she is a warrior, and if you think she will stand to be knocked down or belittled or broken you have never been more wrong.
Life has never been fair but Katara will never stop trying to make it so. This is not soft or naive or an illusion of bravery, this is a strength, and it is hers, it is hers, it is hers.
(Team Avatar gets captured, and they escape, and they live. This is how it happens.)

- -'Songs of a Timeless Love' by beyondthesea
- summary: "We'll be in all the books. The Fire Nation's great romance. I bet they'll even write songs about us."
finished, 1/1 chapters, azula/ty lee, word count: 2,728
- -'in the loving memory' by sokkaesque
- summary: [Sokka sighs. He doesn’t know how to put it in words. Softer than before, he tells her, “You know, you don’t– you don’t need to be a hero all the time. Maybe someone else is already on their way to defeat the Fire Nation. There are many, many waterbenders, out there.”
Then Katara sighs.
She just says, “Not from the South.”]
Or, Kya’s, Sokka’s, and most importantly Katara’s understanding of her identity as the last southern waterbender.

- -'hey brother... do you still believe in one another?' by LauraHaleIsABaddass2K21
- summary: Azula did not believe in miracles. If she wanted to save her brother, she'd need to do it herself.
(Zuko was a lot of things, but before everything else he was hers. No one else got to hurt him, not even Ozai.)
(Azula always lies. She had to. But she didn't lie to Zuko, not really.)
Also Known As: The time where Zuko cared a little more about being a brother than impressing his father, and Azula refuses to be outdone.
Also Also Known As: The time when the White Lotus looked at Ozai and decided he didn't deserve nice things.
