Nearly a century after the last appearance of Sozin's Comet, thirteen-year-old Fire Prince Zuko is banished by his father and given a near-impossible task: find and capture the elusive Avatar, the Fire Nation's greatest threat.
After just three months at sea, he discovers a strange boy frozen in an iceberg.
To both Zuko's confusion and frustration, the Avatar is nothing at all like he expected him to be. Why would he help him and his uncle escape from Admiral Zhao? Why does he insist on dragging them all over the world to the abandoned Air Temples?
...Why is he beginning to make Zuko question everything he has ever known?
Eventually, the Fire Prince finds himself faced with a dangerous choice: his honor, his family, his throne... Or the infuriating boy who has somehow managed to sneak his way into his jaded heart.

Learning Experiences Zukka
When the Gaang has an odd run in with Zuko, Sokka can't seem to part with the hot head teen. What is so interesting about Zuko, and had the Gaang misjudged him? This story takes place as the gAang is on there way up to the Northern Watertribe to learn water bending. This is very canon-divergent. Slowburn.

A hundred years after the war, all airbenders save for the Avatar are thought to be dead. But in one of the numerous cells of the Boiling Rock a young airbender named Jaya resides, keeping her identity a secret from all. A thief, a killer. A failure of an airbender.

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![highschool [ zukaang ]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/235601796-256-k807935.jpg)
