Her only hope is to stay in the light, glorious and burning bright. Editor's Pick List: June 2020

Sokka was captured by Fire Nation soldiers when they invaded his village. He got away from the soldiers, but only after they had left his village. He had no way to return to his home, so he's been living in the Fire Nation ever since. Zuko is kept hidden from the nation, apart from a select few. His father is ashamed of him because he isn't a bender. He isn't allowed outside palace walls and is a prisoner in his own home. - This story has been discontinued, but there is a summary of what was supposed to happen at the end if you'd still like to read :)

[DISCLAIMER: I do not own Avatar the Last Airbender or its characters. And, that INCREDIBLE cover was not made by me.] Team Avatar's last fight, to put it lightly, was a mess. Not only did they lose what they were looking for, but parts of the city were attacked by Azula and the Fire Nation. These big events made sure it took a while for the group to realize they'd separated from Sokka. Not only that, but their missing team member was now with Zuko. Who by this point was trying to find a way to dethrone his toxic family and restore peace and harmony between the four nations. Sokka agrees to help, but gets a little more than what he signed up for when he starts noticing his attraction to the Fire Prince. What will happen when all of the ensuing tension comes to a head, and the group meets up again in the newly reformed Fire Nation? Info: Sokka's age-17 Zuko's age-18 Everyone's two years older than in the show. PS: There will be boyxboy in this fanfiction, there will be lemons, and possible mpreg. Also, Sokka is a bottom in this for the most part.

What if Zuko hadn't spent so long searching for the avatar? What if he had settled down and helped Iroh open a tea shop? What if the moment he stopped looking for Aang, Aang found him? 5/5 chapters complete
