Nearly a century after the last appearance of Sozin's Comet, Fire Prince Zuko, freshly burned and banished by his father at the young age of thirteen, discovers a strange boy frozen in an iceberg.
When Admiral Zhao interferes with Zuko's plans to deliver his prisoner back to Royal Caldera City, to Zuko's surprise, the young Avatar offers to help him and his uncle escape. They take refuge from the Fire Navy in the abandoned Air Temples, where Aang insists on searching for any remnants of his people that he can find. Along the way, the indoctrinated Fire Prince at last begins to learn the truth about the Air Nomads and the War, while the Dragon of the West is forced to face the sins of his warmongering past.
As the months go by, the two boys eventually form an unlikely friendship, and Zuko begins to experience confusing feelings that he has never felt for anyone before. However, Zhao will not give up easily, and will do whatever it takes to capture the Avatar and his traitorous accomplices.

Two Warriors |Sukka Love Story Book 1
Once Upon a Time there were Two Warriors...one, a boy from the snowy Southern Water Tribe...the other from the sunny Kyoshi Island. These Warriors trained together when they met...became friends...and fell in love. Here is the tale of two warriors, Sokka and Suki, who fight against all odds and come together during a war that has lasted one hundred years. Join them as we see missing moments from the Avatar canon, explore their development from friends to lovers, and watch them go through battles that even war didn't prepare them for. -For reference, this tale takes place during and little after the canon. There are three books to this trilogy. This book will explore Sokka and Suki in their late teens and very early twenties and how distance is nothing if you were meant for each other. Other goodies in this fanfic a reader may enjoy: Suki's backstory, which is explored more and more in each book, Suki and the Kyoshi Warriors, missing Sukka moments, Sukka saying I love you for the first time, deep-Sukka talks, Kyoshi Warriors, Suki's experience in prison and how it affects her and Sokka's relationship, later on, Sukka smut, Kataang, Maiko, LGBTQ WLW Kyoshi Warrior relationships (which is more prominent in the second and third book), and more (maybe even a surprise here and there!)

Long ago, the four Nations lived together in harmony. Then the Fire Nation attacked. The world was about to change forever and for the airbenders, there would be no coming back.

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
