It's said that Fire Lord Ozai is gracious and benevolent, inviting the young royals, nobles, and leaders of the Four Nations to attend school at the Fire Nation's most distinguished Royal Academy. Very few imagine that he has deceitful intentions.
Crown Prince Zuko is wary of the new arrivals at first. Going directly against his fear of becoming attached to those he knows his father is eager to harm, Zuko finds himself relentlessly pursuing the friendship of a stubborn Princess from the Southern Water Tribe. Somehow, Katara manages to soothe his burning heart, and together, they must navigate the harsh world Zuko's father has created for them.
"Despite his openness toward her, Katara can't help but feel uncertain about how to deal with him. For much of her young life, she's heavily resented the Fire Nation. She doesn't know why Zuko's taken such an interest in her anyways. After all, what business does a child of the sun have with one of the moon?"

{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

Flames Of Fate (Zuko X Reader)
There is an old folklore about the Children of the Forest. They were mortal spirits who were the First Benders with the ability to travel freely to the spirit world and to the human realm. Each with their own element of air, water, earth and fire. They were one with their elemental animals and travelled the spirit and human realm freely. Fire Lord Azulon was one of the very few humans aware that this folklore was more than a mere legend, although slightly altered, but factual. He sought out dragons and in one of his searches he found a Child of the Forest with a Fire Element by sheer unfortunate luck and after defeating her, he imprisoned her. (Y/N) was seen as the key object of victory within the Fire Nation and a driving force of power to their legacy and supremacy but to Zuko she was not a weapon of mass destruction or a spirit creature; she was so much more. As the Sozins Comet approaches and the Avatar Aang prepares to face Firelord Ozai with the help of his friends, it's clear that Zuko and (Y/N)'s paths are more far apart than they know. (Y/N) has to decide; stay in the human world with him and risk it all or return home to the spirit world where she belongs. ♥╣[-_-]╠♥ACTIVE UPDATES TWICE A WEEK♥╣[-_-]╠♥Complete
