Summary
After being burned by his father for refusing to fight him in an Agni Kai, thirteen-year-old Prince Zuko wants only two things: to restore his honor and re-earn his father's love, and to find some way to heal his face. So when a Fire Sage tells him there's a mystic spring deep under the castle that can grant him both things, he listens.
The next thing he knows, he wakes up in the middle of a city with foul air, technology beyond his wildest dreams, and lunatics on every corner. Shortly after he firebends to protect himself, a man dressed mostly in black catches him.
Who knew that being sent to another realm would be the best thing that ever happened to him?

Summary
King Kuei reclaimed his kingdom from the hands of the Dai Li and is trying his hardest to take everything back under control.
But then, he discovers that he has a supposedly dead Prince Zuko in his custody. The Dai Li had kidnapped the eleven-year-old prince shortly after the Siege of Ba Sing Se has fallen. They attempted to ransom him back, but the newly crowned Fire Lord Ozai showed no interest. The child has been locked away within the Dai Li’s walls ever since.
Kuei is NOT okay with this.
He needs to scream. He will do that. But first he needs to get the boy out of that nightmare.--

Summary
Left behind at the Misty Palms Oasis, Katara waits days for Aang, Sokka, and Toph to return. But when bounty hunters close in, her only chance at escape comes from the last people she ever thought she could trust: Zuko and Iroh.
Now traveling under false names, bound by a fake marriage, and with no room for mistakes, Katara finds herself on the road to Ba Sing Se. What begins as mutual distrust slowly turns into eating side by side, sleeping even closer, and something far more dangerous: comfort. She thinks it will end once they reach the city, but in a place crowded with millions of refugees, and stuck in the Lower Ring, she doesn’t have much hope of finding the others. With no leads and nowhere else to go, she resolves to wait for her friends to find her.
But in their cramped apartment, days turn into weeks, and Zuko and Katara begin to settle into something that almost feels like domestic bliss. It isn’t real. Or at least, it isn’t meant to be. But the longer they stay, the harder it becomes to remember where the act ends and something real begins.

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.

Another year had come in Zuko’s exile. A wandering breeze stirred the homesickness in his chest, and with it, the memory of a girl he thought he’d forgotten.
A dream. A pair of earrings. A folk song. Suddenly, everything reminded him of her, like an ember struggling to flare back to life.
