A Zuko X Reader story. As always, I wrote this for myself but you can read it, too, if you'd like. Y/N was an air bender, she was tasked with watching over the avatar as a punishment for something that she had done; something that the air nomads frowned upon her for. When she discovered what had become of her people, she was furious- but not at the Fire Nation, she was furious at Aang, because Aang was supposed to protect them, and he didn't. But was it Aang that she was really angry at?

You are Y/N, the girl that was saved by Avatar Roku when she was born. Because of this, you have the ability to control water, fire, earth, and air. You have a pretty dark background, as you were 9 years old when you were kidnapped by the fire nation. You were kept in captivity and tortured for information about Avatar Aang for about 2 years until Prince Zuko's mother found you and convinced them to let you work at the palace. That was 7 years ago. Now, you are 16, escaped from the clutches of the fire nation with only one command from Avatar Roku; Protect the Avatar. [Old book title: Flames of Protection (Zuko x Reader x Sokka)]

Y/N was getting sick of the South Pole. Her cocky twin brother Sokka, her insufferable little sister Katara, the endless snow, ice, water, and chores. Yes, she loved the place, and her family, but ever since father left she had basically been looking after the whole village. Wake up, train with siblings, go fishing, cook, and go to bed. Every. Single. Day. But everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Disclaimers! None of the art is mine unless said otherwise. I do not own Avatar the Last Airbender or it's characters. Why is this labeled as mature? Some gruesome descriptions, and dark themes. All possibly triggering pieces have warnings to notify the readers beforehand.

Your name is Y/N, and you're a powerful water bender from the Southern Water Tribe. You also happen to be the cousin of Katara and Sokka. Along this life-changing journey, you meet many new faces, including the hot-headed fiery Prince Zuko, who is determined to fulfill his destiny. But what exactly could that be? Join the Gaang and get ready for a wild ride! WARNING: Story contains spoilers from the original show: "Avatar: The Last Airbender," so if you haven't seen it, I HIGHLY recommend you do! You won't regret it! Side Note: There will be minimal changes to the original story line up until season 2ish, so, I don't know, if you'd like, stick around and see where this goes? As a certain someone would say, "Sit back, relax, grab some snacks..." *I DO NOT own ATLA or any of its characters. I also do not own any of the story line from the ORIGINAL show. However, I do own my OWN original scenarios and characters.*
