One War |Sokka x OC| [Book one]
Book One of the Mismatched series. 'There's all kinds of people and factions trying to do what they think is right but...it's all one war, Sokka.' It was a world straight from the depths of hell. The Fire Nation had a ruthless history and they wouldn't stop until the entire world fell under their tyranny. So, it isn't a surprise to find that he refuses to trust a girl from the opposite side. Nor does it help that despite her country's oppression, her pride towards her nation makes it difficult for him to accept her. They hate each other and butt heads all the time, but do they really hate each other? Slow burn!!! Status: Completed! Second book uploaded and ongoing.Complete

Avatar Aang must end the war but he can't do that without Princess Katara by his side. A journey of love, pain and betrayals awaits ahead of them. 𝗥𝗔𝗡𝗞𝗘𝗗: #𝟮 𝗸𝗮𝘁𝗮𝗮𝗻𝗴 [𝟮𝟰.𝟬𝟭.𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟯]Complete

Something dangerous. In this world, peace is public, but personal wars still rage.Complete

As she retakes her position as Princess of the Fire Nation and adviser to her brother, the new Fire Lord, Azula finds happiness. *** Cover art by: @prawnm33 (on instagram - Go check them out!!!)Complete
The Girl and the Fire Lord
Hot ZukoxOC(s) story with love triangles, lies, love, and lots of tea. It's mature for a reason but that isn't the main plot. I write in character, so everything sounds like something Zuko would actually say. Yay! Vote if you like it :) Zuko has just been crowned the fire lord. Bearing the weight of his responsibilities consumes most of his time, but he has recently noticed a beautiful girl who feeds the turtle ducks every morning. Unfortunately, becoming the Fire Lord didn't make him any smoother. *** 29,337 words totalComplete

The Pawn |Katara
Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony. Then the Fire Nation attacked. But there was not war everywhere. In the Fire Nation, Akira, a close friend of the Princess and son of an Admiral in the Fire Lord's inner circle, has not realised what his nation's work is until he visits the colonies in the Earth Kingdom. His nation is wrong and he realises the orders he carries out should have never been done. Even though the war has not reached the shores of the Fire Nation, his mind is in the middle of battle. It is time to take matters into his own hands - but can someone born in a family swearing allegiance to the Fire Lords be anything but a pawn?
