Avatar: The Legacy of Fire (Book I: Air) by candlebreak

Summary
Fire. Air. Water. Earth.
The sages used to tell stories of the old days: a time of terror when the tyrant Avatar suppressed all people and divided the land between the Fire Nation, Air Nomads, Water Tribes, and Earth Kingdom. But everything changed when Sozin’s comet allowed the Fire Nation to fight back. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, stood in the way of a prosperous and united world. But just when we almost managed to defeat him, he vanished.
A hundred years have passed, but the world cannot truly be united until the Avatar is found. Three years ago, my father entrusted me with a sacred task: to find and capture the Avatar, and thereby redeem a great shame and failure of the Fire Nation. And although many believe this is an impossible task, I still have hope. I still believe that, somehow, I will find the Avatar and restore honor to the Fire Nation and to myself.
***
AU where the Avatar Spirit left Aang in the iceberg and was eventually reborn in everybody’s favorite grumpy fire prince.

Summary
“What if it had been Oliwia, buttercup?” Lambert asks.
Jaskier goes still. Little Oliwia, barely sixteen and still as naive as any noble child gets - if she had been sent as a sacrifice, that would have been - “Monstrous,” he says, through a dry throat. “That would be monstrous, and a grave insult to the Wolf, that anyone would think he would do harm to such an innocent - that he would be that sort of monster.”
—inexplicifics, Only Love Proudly and Gladly and Well, Ch. 2
…What if it had been Oliwia?

Summary
The kid was going to die at this rate, whether or not Jason had anything to do with it. Apparently dead Robins were just a thing, now, and Bruce didn’t give a shit whether they lived or died.
There was something almost comforting about that, that Jason’s wasn’t the only life that didn’t matter.
There was something fucking infuriating about that, that Jason’s wasn’t the only life that didn’t matter.
Well. If those fucks didn’t care about their baby bird now, Jason would just have to make them care. And he had a few ideas on just how to do that.
Robin might get a little broken in the process, but what was a little kidnapping and torture between friends?
***
a.k.a. the Titans Tower AU where Jason kidnaps Tim instead of trying to kill him. And then he kidnaps Steph. And Dick. And Cass. And...
Jason may have a problem.
Less crack-y than it sounds. This is mainly hurt, angst, and reckoning with canon trauma. Comfort will come! There *will* be a happy ending.

Summary
Peter Parker: trans, tired, and shit on over and over again by the universe. Also Spider-Man, a hardcore hero, and just 100% the best boy.
There was a reason that Peter Parker decided to become Spider-Man, to become a vigilante, to look out for the little guy. The systems we currently have obviously aren't doing the job well enough. People are getting hurt. This story explores in depth the many, many flaws of the United States justice and social safety systems, and how Peter Parker and Spider-Man deal with them. This includes everything from foster care to food banks to access to medical treatment to courts to policing to prison and parole.
An exploration of grief, loss, and trauma. Expect bureaucracy, lots of OCs just trying their best, and righteous fucking anger. Plus lots of radical caring and empathy. Eventual hopeful ending.
Series title taken from 'Poverty of Philosophy' by Immortal Technique.
