Kaz had always known she had two talents: firebending and getting caught up in her own reckless decisions.
Probably that's why she ended up as a fugitive of the Fire Nation and part of a secret society. As long as she got to see the world it couldn't be too bad right?
It could, especially if ones gets caught in between an angry old friend, two distrusting siblings and a way too peaceful Avatar.
-Kaz observed Katara while she stomped towards the ginormous fluff that was Appa. Then she moved her eyes towards Sokka, he was already sitting on the saddle and was holding his boomerang in what was meant to be a threatening way. She sighed and turned to Aang at her side.
"They really hate me huh?"
The Avatar looked back at her sheepishly. "Maybe hate is too strong of a word, they just have to get used to you. In any case I'm your friend now so you can lighten up!"
Kaz raised one of her brows. "We've known each other for approximately three hours."
Aang just gave her a huge smile. "Yeah, but in these three hours you saved my life and healed my friends"
Kaz looked at the sky. "Bonding experiences I guess." She mumbled.
If possible Aang smiled even wider. "Exactly!".-

Water Lily in a Sea of Fire
Years before the Siege of Ba Sing Se, General Iroh discovers a young girl among the remains of a decimated Water Tribe village. Raised in the heart of the Fire Nation, she grows close to the young crown prince and accompanies him and Iroh on their adventures. ________________________________________________________________________________ **This is an old story I had written in my head years ago when the series was still on Nickelodeon, and most of what I had originally written out was dialogue, so I apologize for any lack of detail or imagery-I don't have much time to devote to it as I'd like. I've read quite a few fanfic stories out there and this one isn't very good in comparison, but I'll post it for others who might find it entertaining--it was certainly entertaining to write. Also, I understand a lot of readers don't like stories that follow canon. This one does follow the show for the most part, but eventually digresses, follows, and digresses again. Disclaimer: I own nothing of the world of ATLA, although a few characters were seriously harmed (or killed) in the imagining of this fictional story.Complete

The Lady Xia
Living the disgrace of her grandfather, Xia's parents send her to the Fire Nation Captial to try to win favor with the Fire Lord. Little Xia is meant as the most recent playmate for Princess Azula, a very dangerous job. However, Xia matched Azula in her Firebending abilities, and the two become friendly rivals. Xia became famous for her yellow fire, not nearly as dangerously hot as Azula's blue fire, but a warmth that fuels Xia's will. Though Xia was close friends with Azula, Mai, and Ty Lee, she volunteered to accompany Zuko and Iroh on their hunt to find the Avatar. Calm and patient Xia became Zuko's new sparring partner, and Iroh's favorite Pai Sho challenger. "How can you be drinking tea at a time like this?!" Zuko demanded. I looked at him as if surprised by his stupidity, "because I do not particularly like cold tea." A laugh followed my statement and we both turned to Iroh, "you see, Prince Zuko. Xia knows that there are times to march forward, but there are also times to take a step back." "What does that even mean?" Zuko asked furiously. "It means that I take time to think," I replied gently. "Now, why don't we go and continue your quest for the Avatar?" *I update by book. So the first thirteen chapters are book one. Updates are very slow, but over ten chapters at a time.Complete

Burnt Out - Zuko x OC
Kai is a disgraced outcast from the Earth Kingdom. Scarred and banished as a child when she wasn't ready to complete the mission that she was born and raised to fulfill. Zuko was sent on a wild goose chase masked as an opportunity to restore his honor. He's learning that this was only a guise to get him off of the throne, and it's made him question everything. But Kai and Zuko aren't kids anymore. And their paths will cross more than once, but under different circumstances as Zuko hunts the Avatar and Kai works to help Aang bring down the Fire Nation. This story is semi-canonical. I'll try to put the season and episode number at the top of every story. **If you've read any of my other stories, you'll know that there's usually tons of sex and drugs involved. This one is different. There will be a tiny bit of sex, and a little vulgarity on OC's part, but mostly just smut and slow burn. Characters are aged up by a few years. I hope you guys like it.** 2026 edit - I wrote this a looong time ago yallComplete
