Summary
When La demands justice for Tui's favored mortal, Agni proposes a compromise and spirits become more active in the world of man.
Or...
Fire Lord Zuko finds himself entangled in the spirits' schemes. He has been stripped of everything -- including his name -- except for the golden flame that adorns his head and the throne from which he guides his country. He... has a lot he needs to process, and even more to do.

Summary
Decisions make the world we live in. In this world Hakoda and Kya decided not to try to protect their daughter in the tribe, but to send her away for her own safety to the North Pole. Here Lu Ten meets a little Whirlpool and decides that the Fire Nation has been wrong. His following actions sending ripples through time, and giving life to a line that in another world would have been extinguished upon the ascension of Ozai. Here the Volcano that killed Avatar Roku erupted 2 years later. Here Aang isn't woken by Katara so when will he be and what world will he awaken to?
AN: Lu Ten accidentally became a main character and made me rewrite the plot. Rude.

Summary
Determined to revive the Southern style of waterbending, Katara travels to the Caldera at Zuko’s invitation to search for information on the Southern Water Tribe in the extensive Royal Library. There she finds a dangerous tangle of political intrigue and civil unrest – and at the heart of it all, a silent stranger in a Water Tribe mask.
(Or, no one ever told Katara that Zuko was the Blue Spirit.)
A Bluetara fic, using the Zutara Week 2020 prompts (for structure, such as it is). Likely going to be around 10 chapters but that is a rough guess.
Title from "Far Between" by the Jivin' Scientists.

His younger brother and sister-in-law died after being declared traitors, but he showed mercy to his nephew and niece raising them in a cutthroat court.

A very alternate universe in which Iroh is not everyone's favorite Uncle, Zuko is the Avatar, and the world is in very bad shape.

Summary
Firelord Azulon is dead. After 79 Years as Fire Lord, the longest reign in history Azulon died in his sleep, just shy of his one hundredth birthday. He is predeceased by his beloved wife Illah, and his younger son Ozai.
Azulon’s hier is his elder son Iroh. Although Iroh withdrew from public life following his failure at Ba Sing Se and the death of his own son, his succession is unquestioned. But with Lu Ten gone, Ozai’s line now stands to inherit. His widow Ursa, a political force. His daughter Azula a powerful bender and a budding plotter. And Zuko, now heir to the throne, is known more for his dashing good looks than his leadership. Most observers think the Dragon of the West will have to keep his family close as he embarks on an ambitious project of reform for the Fire Nation.
Instead the Fire Lord surprises everyone…

Summary
Les Nomades de l'Air ont tous disparu. Il ne reste plus qu'eux, les bâtards, les entre-deux ; les tristes souvenirs d'une période plus heureuse. Mais qu'importe cet héritage, cela n'empêchera pas Zuko d'être un guerrier. Il mourra au combat, en emportant avec lui le plus d'ennemis de la Nation du Feu possible.
N'est-ce pas là le plus grand des honneurs ?

That, and she's not entirely sure she isn't being haunted by her father's ghost.
