Summary
Book one ends with two major diffrences: 1. Sokka went on the mission with Hahn (it did not go well) 2. Zhao survives the North Pole and that proves unfortunate for everybody (except Zhao, obviously)
Imprisoned on Zhao’s war ship, Sokka and Zuko have to work together to survive. They are not very enthusiastic about this prospect.
And they argue.
A lot.

Summary
After the battle at the Northern Water Tribe, Sokka is captured by Zhao.
It's not incredibly ideal, however, he reckoned he could escape if given the right motivation. Most of which is provided by his cellmate, Prince Zuko, the boy they've been fearing for months. The Fire Prince who has spent the last few months of Sokka's life miserable, trying to keep him, his sister and the all-powerful twelve year old boy alive. It's his rotten luck to be locked up with Zuko, he's only going to foil his plans wherever they go.
At least, that's what Sokka thought.
The thing about war is, the smoke rises so high, so thick, things aren't as clear as they once were. Sokka believed all Fire Nation was evil, that it was only capable to destroy. All he saw when he looked at the Fire Nation was the fire in their eyes. But what could possibly happen when he starts to feel the fire in the heart of one, golden-eyed boy, who is more than he appears?
Sokka's got a lot of learning to do, as does Zuko. Slowly, they're finding that as long as they're together, they might be able to take on anything.

Summary
"We're going to be alcoholics by the time we're thirty," Sokka sighed.
"You think we'll live to be thirty?" Zuko asked, honestly thrilled. Sokka had pretty good instincts. Perhaps Zuko should reevaluate his long term goals. He could start by having long term goals.
A more likely alternative was that Sokka was just a hopeless optimist. It just went to show, you never truly saw another man until you stood shoulder to shoulder against a fleet of war balloons intent on raining death upon the city you loved.
Zuko was just a normal guy with normal interests. He liked theatre, burglary, crotchety ostrich horses, watching the Blind Bandit crush her opponents in a glorious display of skill and violence... just your standard banished prince things. It wasn't his fault he kept stumbling into rebellions and uncovering long-buried secrets. Fine, maybe freeing the prisoners was on him, but he was completely innocent of all other treason. Zuko was his father's loyal son. He'd never betray his nation.

Uncle Iroh took a more creative approach to fostering Zuko's appreciation of other cultures. Now it's everyone's Problem.- Language:

Summary
Fire Prince Zuko is meditating with his eyes closed on the floor of the Western Air Temple, and no one is attacking him, or even trying to, and it’s weird. Sokka will admit that even if no one else will.
Or,
Sokka makes some discoveries after Zuko joins the Gaang. Perhaps the Fire Prince has more honor than anyone had realized.

Two War Heroes and a Fellow Ex-Refugee Walk into a Tea Shop by roseverdict
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender

Summary
“Yeah, apparently the new Fire Lord is coming to visit. Something about making reparations?” Jin explained, taking a seat at a nearby table. “I mean, good for him, it’s nice to know somebody in the Fire Nation’s royal family isn’t a royal jerkwad in need of a psychiatrist, but I doubt he’ll wanna get mobbed by that crowd.”
Mushi smiled in that knowing way he tended to and turned back to the décor. “Not just the Fire Lord, but my nephew as well.”
Jin lit up. “Li’s coming, too?”
At that, Mushi’s knowing smile turned mischievous for a split second before he nodded. “Yes, he is. He’s been back at home now that the war is over, but I managed to convince him to take a break and come visit his uncle’s tea shop for the grand re-opening.”
“Still a workaholic, huh? That’s Li, alright,” Jin declared.
(Or, in which Jin realizes that the awkward refugee she dated once has become the Fire Lord, and she just can't muster up any proper respect for the office. Everyone is okay with this.)

Summary
After a hard and adventurous life, the GAang has reunited in the spirit world and has settled in to enjoy it together. Except, while drinking tea and genuinely enjoying themselves, Toph and Zuko are dragged back to the living world, but not the one they are familiar with.
Or
Zuko isn't sure how to feel about his new family and clan as a whole, but he's come to adore his new brothers. Toph despises the clan she was born in and resolves to kick ass and prove herself in this new environment.
Blanket permission to steal the concept, create a sequel, or a branch off, or even just fics that expand on any scene or plot I abandoned on the side of the road. I have faith in u, readers.
