Cursed to live with the body of a fearsome beast, Zuko hid from a cruel world that would not hesitate to destroy him, consumed with rage for those who had betrayed him, resigned to a lifetime of solitude. But then a ray of hope came in the form of a beautiful, blue-eyed woman. Could she look beyond his physical appearance and break his curse? Or would he forever remain alone? AU.

ATLA-retelling with an OC! After the first encounter with the Avatar at the South Pole, Zuko wants to repair his ship as quickly as possible. He did not expect to see a girl from his past come back into his life, not now when everything has to be focused on finding the Avatar. Yet destiny has a way of its own. /Book 1: Chapter 1 - 26. Book 2: 27 - 49. Book 3: Chapter 50 - ongoing

Instead of Momo freeing her from the tree after she stole the water bending scroll, Zuko manages to take Katara back to his ship as bait for the Avatar. Their hatred lessens as they learn about each other and Zuko realizes just what the Fire Nation has done.

/AU-ish/ "You're my brother. That's got to count for something. Right, Zuzu?" If Azula and Zuko had always cared for each other, how different would their live's paths have been?

Some time after the events of Smoke and Shadow, there is an attack to Azula's life in the Palace, and Sokka ends up as her personal guard. Sokkla story! Hope you enjoy! :)

Nobody knows what happened to the past Avatar, it's believed that he was never reborn and the cycle's broken. But after a hundred years, my brother and I meet a firebender named Zuko, the ancient banished Fire Prince and the missing Avatar for the past century. He has some attitude issues to solve along with mastering the four elements but... I believe Zuko can save the world.

"Time is an illusion, and so is death." When Charlie wakes up in a world that's not her own, surrounded by people who by all accounts should be fictional, she's at a complete loss for how she got there in the first place. Charlie journeys to find her own destiny while struggling to help the Avatar complete his. Slow-burn.

After being banished from the Fire Nation with no way to return, Zuko does the best he can to survive in hostile enemy territory, which leads him to some... questionable decisions. Caught trying to steal food from a noble Earth Kingdom family, his life takes a bizarre twist when they end up hiring him instead. His job? Watch over their blind daughter, Toph. (AU)

Aang tries to fix everything wrong with the world. Zuko tries to fix everything wrong with the Fire Nation. Azula tries to control everything. There are mixed results. In book 3: Zuko leaves the Fire Nation Palace to meet up with the Gaang a lot earlier than planned. Gaang focus, Zutara happy ending.

Five years have passed since Sozin harnessed the power of the comet to nearly wipe the Air Nomads from existence. Now, the survivors are finding their place in this new world that they are constantly hunted in. A battle that could turn the tides of the war looms and they must choose between hiding in peace and fighting for their nation. [Sequel to "Running from Fire"]

Destiny's a funny thing, isn't it? You can't control it.Take my life for example.One moment, I'm living a perfect life with my dad in the Fire Nation. The next thing I know,it's 2 years later, I'm friends with the Avatar,and my friends and I are on the run from the hotheaded Prince of my own Nation. Oh, and did I mention I can bend two opposite elements?

AU. Fate turns a little differently, and Zuko ends up being raised far away from the royal palace- and with dragons. But no matter how things change, one thing remains the same- that it's his destiny to teach the Avatar firebending. That's the easy part. The hard part? Literally everything else. (or, local feral firebender does his best)

In a world where the Avatar wasn't found on time, a terrible loss has transformed Sokka into a vengeful vigilante who guards the South Pole. But when he attacks an unexpected target, he sets in motion events that will change his life and present an opportunity to save the entire world. Canon divergent, not an AU. Sokkla and Kataang. M for all the adult themes possible.

Instead of participating in the break-out of the Earthbenders on the Prison Rig, Katara fails to escape and is picked up by Zuko. Held captive on his ship as he hunts the Avatar, Katara vows to never be a ploy of the banished prince. She'll protect her friends in Zuko's chains. She'll fight the Prince with everything she has. But can her heart survive the battle? Book One: Rewrite!

Gaang centric and slow burn Zutara. Sukka and some Mailee. Aang/OC. Adventure/Political/Drama/Romantic. Aang, Katara, Sokka, Zuko, Suki, Toph, Kyoshi Warriors, Mai, Ty Lee, Azula, other atla characters, original characters, multiple storylines. First fic in a planned trilogy. Small aspects of canon are broken, not most. Set 4 years after Sozin's Comet.

After Aang was frozen in the iceberg, the Fire Nation launched a devastating attack on the Air Nation. The remnants of the genocide are left to survive; confused and wondering where their Avatar has gone.

When a blizzard strikes, Katara is torn from Appa's back and separated from her friends. Attempting to find them, she stumbles across Zuko, similarly separated from Iroh and searching for his Uncle or the Avatar – whichever comes first. Pairing up looks like the only option, but what effect will such close contact between two enemies have in the long run? Zutara.

When Princess Azula introduced herself to Avatar Aang, no one laughed. If her introduction had been to a different individual, the young warrior of the Southern Water Tribe, well everything could have been different. Follows Canon up until events of "The Chase". Sokkla.

They thought they knew what their destinies were: save the world, become Fire Lord, maybe fall in love along the way. But Destiny has a funny way of turning expectations into something you never dreamed possible. Maybe this story isn't the simple save the world and get the girl kind of tale. Maybe there's more to it than that. Maybe there can be more than one kind of happy ending.

With only weeks until the arrival of Sozin's Comet, Aang opens a spirit portal on Roku's Island during the summer solstice, trapping the love of his life and his enemy in a futuristic alternate universe. (Zutara Season 3 AU - transitions to a modern setting)

Taken from her home at 5, Katara is trained in the Fire Nation as a healer for the royal family with her adoptive mother Hama. While believed to be a healer, Katara is trained for another purpose, to kill the Fire Lord and his family. When the Avatar is discovered, Katara travels with the Crown Prince to kill him and bring balance to the world. Will she do it? (AU) (ZUTARA)

Novel Length. Things go on behind closed doors in palaces, everyone knows that. But when it is decided that Prince Zuko and Prince Lu Ten need to find wives, will the selected girls have what it takes to get past the secrecy and revenge that goes on where the royal families lie? Will Princess Katara have the strength? Zutara and many surprise pairings AU

Becoming lost in one way and being found in another, the journey for me began on the wings of a storm which carried me directly into the path of the most stuck up, irritable, disrespectful prince I could ever have met. Our tempers clashed, his hotheaded nature was the polar opposite of my 'go with the flow' attitude. This is the story of how I met Prince Zuko, son of Fire Lord Ozai

Thirty years ago, the Fire Nation attacked, throwing the world off balance. Katara entered the Fire Nation war camp at Ba Sing Se as a healer, prepared to do whatever it takes to play her part in stopping the war. Getting kidnapped with the Fire Prince and falling in love with him were not parts of the plan. AU. Zutara.

Thirteen years after the war, Sokka breaks into Zuko's courtroom with a plea to help Katara who faces certain death. Zuko abandons everything to rush to his friend's aid, but once there, he realizes that for Katara to live, he has to make a big sacrifice - one he is not ready for. Post War Zutara.

Kidah is Princess Yue's handmaiden and best friend. One day, the Avatar arrives in the Northern Water Tribe, bringing disaster and adventure with him. As Kidah travels with Aang, Katara, Toph and Sokka, she grows more powerful and more confident. A random turn of events brings Kidah and Zuko together.

Mikaila is a dual bender (water and earth) from an island that is untouched by the war. She dreams of leaving the island and exploring the world, even if everyone tells her it's too dangerous. Shortly departing her island, Mikaila is captured by none other than Prince Zuko. Follow the series as Mikaila travels with Zuko across the world while keeping her secret. EDITING/CLEAN UP

When the Gaang are at the Southern Air Temple they find out there not alone. A Fire Nation Air Bender named, Alec travels with the Gaang until she is captured by the ruthless Prince Zuko. She must find her way out and find the Gaang to continue there journey. T for later mature chapters, and cussing.

Four friends separately make their way to Ba Sing Se, learning wisdom along the way. Will our two lovers, forbidden from one another, find each other again? Will Aang find the courage to be the avatar the world needs? Will Sokka be condemned to more conversations about feelings? A shenanagin filled romp through the Earth Kingdom. Zutara yes, but this is primarily a friendship fic

"You see me." And somehow, that makes all the difference. [s3 canon compliant (until it's not). zutara.]

It takes place 7 years after the war and Zuko has decided to give Azula a second chance at freedom. But she'll have to earn it by going on a quest and bringing back a person she never thought she'd see again. Note: I do have this rated as Mature because future chapters may get a little more explicit and I don't want to offend anyone!

What if Zuko had been the one to save Sokka in the storm? What if crazy fate and a series of poor life choices threw four kids together? Can enemies ever become friends? A Zuko joins the Gaang accidentally in season1 story. A shenanigan-filled fic about unlikely friendship, stupidity and sarcasm. Also Zutara romance and drama! AU, canon divergent from season 1.

It was the kind of thing that happened in folktales: a cursed prince, a transformation that could not be broken. Except those princes usually became monstrous-looking creatures who needed true love's kiss to return to normal. They did not get stuck as a six-year-old boy depending on a bald runt and two Water Tribe siblings.

Five years after the war, there is a breach in the spirit world. Spirits of all kinds come through and, for nine days, are in control of a human body. It's hard enough handling the invading presence in their minds making their choices for them, and it only complicates things worse when the two spirits inside Zuko and Katara are lovers.

Katara awakens from a coma that put her in the spirit world for five years after Ozai's fall, but her memories are gone as well as her brother, Sokka. Hallucinating that Fire Lord Azula has kidnapped him, she pirates a Fire Nation ship and sets out to find him – and to remember all she forgot – without knowing the Fire Lord is not Azula, but rather her estranged brother, Zuko.

Slow-burn humorous romantic Zuko/OC fic with suggested adult themes. A girl from our modern world is given the opportunity to travel to the ATLA universe and spend time on Zuko's ship. She quickly realizes she's stuck and that her roommate isn't as diplomatic as she'd hoped for. Her crazy adventure spans from 'Book Water' to the comics (all of the spoilers!).

She's a Princess kidnapped from her home. He's a banished Prince on a quest to regain his honor. What's the one thing they have in common? Nothing. But don't they always say that opposites attract? Takes place during the series. PLEASE READ ALTERNATE ENDING ZukoxOc

Sokka travels to the Fire Nation to live with the royal family as a favor to the Water Tribe. He will gain new friends, enemies and perhaps even experience love. Powerful forces will try to gain power and plot the downfall of the aging Fire Lord. Sokka's involvement may bring peace or war. Sokkla Maiko

"Because they're going to arrest me for earthbending." And they did, but things didn't go according to plan. In fact, failure had never even crossed her mind. A capture!fic...of sorts. Muahahaha! Zutara (ongoing chapter edits)

When Kioni left her hometown of Omashu, all she wanted to do was see the world. She didn't sign up for any of this Avatar-hunting/saving-the-world business. ZukoxOC. Follows the series storyline.

They gave her one piece of advice…to find the avatar. Why? She knew not. But when she was thrown into a world unknown to her, she knew that if she wanted to survive, she must do as she was told. Zutara.

One pirate gets impulsive, and an event starting in 'The Waterbending Scroll' sends ripples throughout the rest of Seasons 1, 2 & 3. A Zuko/Katara troubled friendship fic, to eventually become Zutaran in nature. Chapter 18: Caught in Crystal

Ozai won the final battle, and Aang did not survive. Having lost someone they both care about deeply and separated from the rest of their friends, Zuko and Katara are forced to flee for their lives, and have no one to rely on but each other to survive... and to find and train the next Avatar. Not a shipping fic. Rating is for violence; full warnings inside.

Fire. What is this word, exactly? The phenomenon of combustion manifested in light, flame, and heat. One of the four elements of the world. Burning passion. Liveliness of imagination. Fuel in a state of combustion. A destructive burning. Fire.

He will burn her but not before she drowns him. Katara is the Fire Nation's only hope at getting to the Avatar and Zuko is desperate to restore his honor. He doesn't know that she can manipulate more than just water. She knows nothing about him except his fire. What both of them don't know is that their destinies will make them Gods and Monsters. [AU]

Katara is preparing for the one position she never imagined: Fire Lady. Can young love be found amidst the tradition, politics, and intrigue as Katara tries to let go of her love for Aang to make room for a man she swore she would never love?

One waterbender, one masked swordsman, and an ostrich-horse named Scratch. They didn't seem to have much in common, but circumstance changes everything, and sometimes new friendships will be formed whether you want them to or not. Just ask the Blue Spirit.

If the world were to be thrown into chaos, two must be born to keep stability. They will grow together, two yet one. But differences will tear them apart, for destiny has planned one of their downfall by the hands of the other. And the one that survives shall keep balance as the only Avatar. The chosen one of two. The trailer to this story is on my profile.

Taking place shortly after Zuko and Katara speak in the Crystal Catacombs, this story opens with Zuko choosing to side with the Avatar against his sister. Rated M for mature content, including graphic violence and adult themes. Complete.

Katara has developed a new hobby. At the Western Air Temple she takes to stalking Zuko. Much silliness and shenanigans follow. In chapter 20: Katara and Zuko return home to the others. Katara hates the F word and she comes to a decision regarding Zuko.

Zuko's father was always disappointed his son wasn't a good enough firebender. His mother was disappointed he was a firebender at all. AU. Part one of a trilogy continued in Airbender's Child: Earth.

Sequel to Fire and Ice. Katara and Zuko struggle with their feelings for one another in a world ravaged by war. Is there a chance for peace, or will the war rage on, destroying Katara and Zuko from the inside out?

The Fire Nation is in a tizzy because the most important birth in history is about to take place. Of course there is only one person the Fire Lord thinks is cut out to midwife such an important delivery. Zutara/Hahnzula, ***SEQUEL TO MIDSUMMER MADNESS**

In a world where the Fire Nation reigns supreme, where the Water Tribes and Earth Kingdom are but fragments of once great civilizations, a world where the feared Fire Lord Zuko presides over everything – can a lone waterbender open his heart to peace?

***UNDER REVISION*** Katara learns that there are both advantages and drawbacks to being a female water bending master, and pays back a favor to an old friend. Zutara, Taang, Azulaang, Azulahn, Ty LeeOC and My Lee ***PREQUEL TO A NET TO CATCH THE WIND***

Ten years have passed since Sozin’s war ended. Alliances must be forged between embittered nations, and Katara must marry to keep stable the peace. But can she ever find love in the arms of an old enemy? Zutara

Play the game. That’s all Zuko had to do. He already knew he had the skill to win. Then the prizes would be his...all of them. A Zutara capture fic of a different colour! The sequel to Bent and the Ho'Wan Island Carnival! COMPLETE.

Destiny doesn't always tell us why we're here. Sometimes it's important, and sometimes it's just to give the people who ARE important, the nudge in the right direction. Zutara.
