Being the apprentice of the Dragon of the West entails a lot more than just drinking tea and playing Pai Sho, unfortunately.
Shia has lived a miserable life, restricted by her noble grandfather's draconian training and her mother's everpresent disapproval; treated like a criminal by her own flesh and blood for sins that are not hers, she has never been more than a pawn at best. Her salvation comes to her in the form of Iroh, the General of the Fire Nation, who takes her under his wing once she is sent away by her family to serve as a child soldier.
Under his tutelage, she becomes a fierce warrior with a calm mind. Years later, she joins her mentor and his nephew in their quest to capture the Avatar.
A quest that alters the course of Shia's life irrevocably.
metanoia (n.) - the journey of changing one's mind, heart, self or way of life.
An Avatar: The Last Airbender fanfiction. Please note that the only character that belongs to me in this story is Shia, my OC. Slowburn Zuko x OC, for those of you who like romance.

peacekeeping- zuko
A girl is born in the Fire Nation with the ability to bend three elements and a strong spiritual connection. It's me, Y/N. I was meant to be used as a weapon to destroy the Avatar but like Iroh says, destiny is a funny thing. I am now his friend, his spiritual guide, his Protector, and his non-biological sister. ******* "If honor is the most precious thing to me, then you are my honor." ******* "Your lips don't always tell the truth, but your eyes do." ******* "Because I love you....idiot" ******* "Don't let the past define you. This life is meant to forgive." ******* Beware of my horrible writing, it needs A LOT of editing. Also, I don't own Avatar, or the characters, plot, or dialouge. This is simply fanfiction. There's a lot of chapters, but they're kinda short. There's also some art here and there, all credits to the artists, I do not own any of the pieces. I also do not own the cover art, all credits go to whoever does.Complete

{Sokka x Reader} ~Book One~ Prince Of The Southern Water Tribe 🌊
Water. Earth. Fire. Air. Long ago, the four nations lived together 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. In a world torn apart by war, fire meets fury when Y/N, the sharp-tongued and flame-wielding Fire Nation princess, finds herself caught between loyalty to her family and her unexpected bond with the Avatar and his friends. With black flames that strike fear and white flames that heal, Killua is a force to be reckoned with-but even the fiercest warrior can't escape the chaos of family drama, epic battles, and the occasional romantic complication. Killua faces her greatest challenge yet-convincing her hot-headed brother Zuko to fight for good while fending off her scheming little sister Azula. As tensions rise, sparks fly (literally) between Killua and Sokka, the quick-witted Water Tribe warrior who just can't resist a girl who can take down an army. Can Killua survive the Fire Nation's dangerous games, save the Avatar, and maybe-just maybe-win the war and her boyfriend's heart? . . . Thank you for choosing this book I've always had a love for Sokka and his character and I never seem to find any fanfiction based on Sokka :( so this is for all our Sokka lovers who struggle to find a good read.Complete![Water in Your Hands [1] (Sokka x Reader)](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/263376405-256-k793850.jpg)

At the age of ten, she lost her mother in a Fire Nation raid, right at the South Pole; all she has left is her mother's necklace, which Katara wears around her neck. After that, her father left to fight in the Hundred Year War, along with all the other grown warriors, and Makki and her siblings were put under the care of their Gran Gran. She grew up practicing her bending and helping Katara with all the chores, while their brother practiced his fighting skills and tried teaching the younger boys of their village. Makki's siblings followed their destiny of helping Aang master all four elements while Makki was stuck on a path with the Fire Nation Prince Zuko and his uncle Iroh. The three of them would cross paths with Aang, Katara, and Sokka, but Makki would always have trouble reuniting with her siblings, so she would try her best to show Zuko the right path. It's only a matter of time before the three restart their journey. I do not own any of the artwork or story shown in this book. I only own the original character Makki and her actions in the book.

But in one of the numerous cells of the Boiling Rock a young airbender named Jaya resides, keeping her identity a secret from all. A thief, a killer. A failure of an airbender. Fate plays a curious game, though, and even the most worthless of people may come to have a second chance. In Jaya's case, it all comes down to one question; how many good deeds are needed until she truly feels she's lived up to her ancestry?
