Gilded Chains and Metal Blood by BroadwayBalogna

Summary
Katara never really cared for the stories, but now, holding the Avatar’s heart in her hand, soaking herself in his blood, she wondered if anyone would notice if she made a few amendments.
First: The avatar is dead and everyone should run
Second: No one can save you
Alternatively: A role reversal AU wherein Katara and Sokka replace Zuko and Azula, respectively. A few changes are made, however. The largest being that the Avatar is dead. The next is that soon, all benders will meet the same fate, including the very one that killed him.
No matter what the people may think, no matter what the history books might say, they will never know that in these fleeting moments, she felt weak.

The Avatar is Dead, Now What? by Uninhabiteduninhibited

Summary
It all happened way too fast. There was a flash of blinding light. For a split second, right before the lightning struck the glowing boy in mid-air, Zuko felt every strand of hair on his skin stand on end. ZAP! And then came the smell of burnt flesh.
The water tribe girl held him as he lay limp in her arms, his skin still sizzling. Azula’s maniacal laughter pierced through the ringing in his ears. He’s dead. The boy was dead. The Avatar was dead.
OR
What if Aang dies at the end of Book 2? What if Zuko then picks up where Aang left off, and he joins the Gaang with Uncle Iroh to fight the Fire Lord and Azula to end the war? What would Book 3 be like from Zuko's POV, without the Avatar?

Summary
Lin was about to offer to interview their contacts again, when a clatter in the bullpen caught all of their attention. There was a scuffle outside, two voices growing louder and louder as they approached their conference room. One voice they all recognized belonged to their receptionist, Layla, and the other-
Lin cursed under her breath.
The other voice was as familiar to Lin’s as her own. For most of her life, that had been a blessing. Though now, it was like a warped curse on them both. The earth bender’s heart skipped a beat. She knew, before he even opened the door that he was coming here. There was only one person alive that could sneak up on her.
OR: What if Aang dies earlier, and just as they're picking up the pieces, the new Avatar is found? Tenzin, Bumi, Kya and their family are trying to move forward, and all of their progress (or lack thereof) comes to a crashing halt.It's messy, it's rough, it's them at their worst
OR: The Avatar Cycle Feels Complicated If The Avatar Was Your Dad

Summary
He imagined how the children here ran through the halls, laughs echoing, not a single care in the world, clueless of what would be their cruel fate. He had been one of those children. So pure and radiating with life and love, with no world to carry on his tiny shoulders.

Summary
It’s been fifteen years since Avatar Aang’s assassination.
The world moved on. It always does.
But Republic City still bears the scar.
And in the wake of loss, a child was born.Korra—his daughter, his legacy, and now the next Avatar—was raised in the shadow of legends, surrounded by those who loved him best and broke most when he was gone. She trains in ancient temples and modern cities, guided by a patchwork family of warriors, sages, and ghosts. She is bold, emotional, and wild—too much of everything, and not enough of what the world wants her to be.
She will learn.
She will fall.
And she will rise, again and again.This is not just the story of the Avatar.
It’s the story of what comes after.OR
Korra, the daughter of Avatar Aang, is raised by the Gaang in a changing world.
She’s the next Avatar. Nothing about it is simple. -

Summary
Water. Earth. Air. Fire. My grandmother used to tell me stories about the old days, a time of peace when the Avatar kept the balance between the Water Tribes, Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation, and Air Nomads. But that all changed when the Fire Nation attacked.
Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop the ruthless firebenders. But when the world needed him most, he vanished.
A hundred years have passed, and the Fire Nation is nearing victory. Two years ago, my father and the men of my tribe journeyed to the Earth Kingdom to help fight against the Fire Nation. Without our warriors to defend us, the Fire Nation attacked our village, and took my people as slaves. I was separated from my brother, and my grandmother, and given to an elderly general of the Fire Nation as a house servant.
Some people believe that the Avatar was never reborn into the Air Nomads, and that the cycle is broken. But I haven’t lost hope. I still believe that somehow, the Avatar will return to save the world.AU Where Aang died in the Air Nomad Genocide, and the Avatar Cycle continues...
(totally honest, not sure if this is going to be more than one chapter or not, just needed to get this idea out of my head)

It's well known that Avatar Aang went missing 100 years ago, but when the Fire Nation goes knocking on the Southern Water Tribes door (With fireballs and death) no Avatar turns up and a woman get taken from her home. This action is the first of many that started Ozai's downfall from the throne.
Years later, Sokka and Katara are the main ones running the village-- Hakoda had left three years ago and had yet to return-- that is until Fire Lord Ozai decides he needs to find a way to keep Zuko compliant and find a backdoor into the Northern Water Tribe, and who better than a bride from their sister tribe? Katara needs to learn a new way of life being betrothed to Prince Zuko, teaching herself water bending, and keeping her family safe while in unknown territory. Sokka needs to find a way to rally together the Earth Kingdom and find his father to stop this war, and Zuko needs to figure out why some things in the palace aren't adding up, Ozai be damned.
