Everyone knew of the boy who beat his class three years ago, and that he was returning. Many feared him when he walked through the doors during the school year. The rumors were out of hand and many seemed false yet so many are true.
It was shallow yes, but what was the harm in trying to get close to him not knowing the burn of his touch. It didn't mean anything especially when everyone thought she'd fail immediately. She didn't expect to know a person when everyone spoke of monster.

HOPE || Aang
It's been three years since the world burned. Three years since Sozin's Comet scorched the skies... and the Avatar fell. The Fire Nation's victory left the earth blackened and hollow. Kingdoms have crumbled, hope has withered, and whispers of rebellion fade beneath the weight of fear. Far from the ashes of the war, deep within the mists of the great swamp, Asa tries to keep what little light remains alive. She has lost her father, and he was everything - her best friend, her teacher, her home, her faith - yet she endures. She heals, she helps, she gives what she can to others, even when there's nothing left for herself. Because someone has to believe that the world can still be kind. But when a group of wounded strangers stumble into her village - carrying secrets, scars, and the weight of the past - Asa's fragile peace begins to tremble. Among them is a quiet, haunted boy with gray eyes. A boy who hides his power behind silence, and his pain behind duty. There's something about him - something broken, something lost, something familiar. And as days turn into weeks, Asa finds herself drawn to him - to his laughter, his gentleness, his fire buried deep beneath guilt and grief. But hope is dangerous in a world that's forgotten how to dream.
High School Daze (Modern ATLA fanfic)
Summer break is over once again. Aang is starting his freshmen year at a huge high school. Lucky for him, his two best friends, Azula and Zuko also attend the same school. The school looks normal from the outside and even on the inside, but somethings going on with the school, something weird, and it's like the school is in on it. But if Aang is going to find out whats happening, he's going to need some help... P.S. This is technically rated R just a heads up. swearing, light drug references, and alcohol, etc. It's high school so try to understand 😅 -Modern day - no bending - Toph can see Sorry that's just how it is. Ages - Aang, Ty Lee, Toph 15 - Katara, Azula, Mai 16 - Sokka, Zuko, Suki 17 Other characters that appear will have hints of age and grade etc. Enjoy! Authors note: This is way different from the show. There's no Team Avatar Vs Azula/Zuko. It really has nothing to do with the show. I will try to write the characters in their personalities. Bare with me though, it's high school, they're going to be drinking, smoking, swearing etc. so be prepared. You'll hear from all the main characters in the show. Main difference is, everyone might get along...Complete
