"Ke'leha?" Ke'leha's breath hitched. For a moment, the rage between them seemed to vanish, replaced by the ghosts of two children. She looked up at him, her gaze finally focusing past her rage. She saw the way his eyes, those glowing embers, searched hers with a desperate, familiar kindness. She tilted her head to the side. "Neteyam?" she whispered, the name sounding foreign and heavy on her tongue. His grip loosened completely, his weight standing from her body. "You're... You're alive?" Ke'leha stood right after, her hand clutching her side. "Why do you have to ruin everything?" she hissed, leaning back against a rock to catch her breath. Neteyam looked at her, to the burn marks that were now visible beneath the smudged paint, to the way her shoulder bled from his arrow, to her face that he couldn't recognise. "You're alive." he stated again, grabbing his broken bow and sitting down on his heels on another rock. The silence that followed was heavier than the humid air of the ravine. ~~~ Ashes and Absence' takes place in the world of Avatar, but diverges from the canon storyline.

[COMPLETED] 1917-1944. (Bucky x Female OC) *Book 2 is now up! Check out my profile!* ~ "Bucky, I want to go somewhere," Adeline said, staring out at the ocean. "And where do you want to go?" Bucky asked, looking at Adeline. "Anywhere," Adeline responded. "I want an adventure. Something I can write down and look back and say that I did that." "Adventure," Bucky laughed, shaking his head. "I pray to God that I will never have an adventure." Adeline looked at Bucky, confused. "Why?" Adeline asked. "Have you ever read an adventure where everyone makes it out alive?" ~ Steve Rogers, Bucky Barnes, and Adeline Adams were inseparable from a young age. All three were always getting into trouble together both in school and on the streets of Brooklyn. As relationships grow stronger, war draws nearer.

"I raise my head slowly to look at the person talking to me. A bald kid with blue tattoos in the shape of arrows on his arms and head stands in front of me. He looks around 12 years of age. And the thing he was still poking my head with is a long wooden staff, which I know is actually a glider. My eyes widen in disbelief as I stare at the little monk. 'Aang?!' " **** After encountering a horrifying accident, Luna wakes up to find herself all alone in a hospital. Well, alone except for the laughing kid who keeps running away from her. A kid who looks like Aang from Avatar: The Last Airbender. Curiosity gets the better of this die-hard Avatar fan, and suddenly she finds herself in the Avatar world. Literally. Surprised and shocked (and secretly very happy), she makes friends with Team Avatar, not really caring if this is real or just a figment of her imagination because - Best. Experience. Ever! But after a while, Luna learns that everything in this different world is not always about fun and games. Suddenly, she has to deal with the strangest of people and avoid dangers that didn't exist in her life before this. One thing though - did Luna stumble into this world for the better, or for the worse?

[Zuko x Oc] Aang has finally mastered waterbending but now it's time to learn earthbending. Finding a master for Aang requires everyone to work together; however, such a feat now seems impossible for Kida and Sokka. Not only does Kida have to worry about her brother, but she also has to deal with the new feelings forming for the scarred prince named Zuko.

You, the reader, woke up on a ship and discovered that you had been transported to the Avatar universe. You have to work with the GAng and figure out your past while traveling the world. But things are different. This isn't like the show, and you realize that you are the only one who can fix things. You find love, too, I guess. (I swear this has been troubling me for months. I keep thinking of that jackass Sokka and I just can't do anything else, so I decided to write this book until the feeling wears off.)

Long ago, the four nations lived in harmony. Then, everything changed when the fire nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them, but when the world needed him most, he vanished. A hundred years passed and Sokka and Katara found the new Avatar, an air bender named Aang. Although his air bending skills were great but he has a lot to learn before he's ready to save everyone. And for me, I am his spiritual guardian, who has to protect him at all costs and fight until I die. But I believe Aang can save the world. - #5 airbender 2020.9.3 #1 waterbender 2020.10.17 #94 atla 2020.11.18 #54 zuko 2020.11.29 #7 earthbender 2021.1.14 #100 avatar 2021.3.8 #15 sokka 2021.7.20
