Summary
When Zuko first joins, He wouldn't sit with them to eat. And then when he was forced, he barely ate anything. But it's okay because he has rations left over. At least that's what Zuko said, He said he had plenty but who knows how long they'll last? He gives sokka and Katara Some rations for when they eat but it's probably because he has plenty left right? wrong.
Zuko is stupid and doesn't want to say no to the Gaang so he just ends up passing out from not eating

Summary
In a world where the Avatar was killed during the airbender genocide, the cycle has been repeating for one hundred years. Each time, the Avatar is hunted and murdered by the tyrannical Fire Lord who has expanded his reign to most of the world and declared himself Emperor.
Katara thought she was someone with unbreakable hope, but this world—this place—its devoured her. Surrounded by her enemy on every side, she has no one to turn to. Her home is hundreds of miles away, and she's been forced to live as a prisoner. The only thing keeping her alive is her ability to heal. The Fire Lord uses her to fix his wounded soldiers, and then she returns to the darkness of her cell. It's been seven years since she last saw the snow in the South Pole. Seven years since she's seen her brother. With no one to train her true power, she feels helpless. She's only ever around water to heal—she's not a fighter. She has no way out.
Until she sees him again. The boy with the scar—she saved his life when she was twelve. It was how they discovered her abilities. And he may be the one to finally restore her hope. He may be her way out. If only she hadn't gone and fallen in love with him along the way.

Summary
He couldn’t let this be a repeat of what happened to his village. He couldn’t take that again. He slumped down against the wall he’d been standing near and buried his head in his hands. He just needed to get to know Li more. That was all. It would be alright. Li was a refugee, just like him. He even had the scar to prove it. He’d probably just missed the steam.

Summary
Fire. Air. Water. Earth.
The sages used to tell stories of the old days: a time of terror when the tyrant Avatar suppressed all people and divided the land between the Fire Nation, Air Nomads, Water Tribes, and Earth Kingdom. But everything changed when Sozin’s comet allowed the Fire Nation to fight back. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, stood in the way of a prosperous and united world. But just when we almost managed to defeat him, he vanished.
A hundred years have passed, but the world cannot truly be united until the Avatar is found. Three years ago, my father entrusted me with a sacred task: to find and capture the Avatar, and thereby redeem a great shame and failure of the Fire Nation. And although many believe this is an impossible task, I still have hope. I still believe that, somehow, I will find the Avatar and restore honor to the Fire Nation and to myself.
***
AU where the Avatar Spirit left Aang in the iceberg and was eventually reborn in everybody’s favorite grumpy fire prince.

Summary
Sokka’s experiences attending Kyoshi Academy with chronic illness through his letters to his best friend Yue.
“Then Professor Iroh said, “Getting to know my nephew Zuko is like making a cup of tea. You must be patient, or else your tea will be weak and you may get burned. Please trust that his heart is in the right place. I’m sure the two of you will become great friends with time.”
So yeah, I have no idea what that’s supposed to mean. Do you? Because it sounded a little ominous. ‘His heart is in the right place’ like did he murder someone?! Is Iroh trying to tell me to sleep with one eye open? Honestly, having an old man obsessed with tea deliver me cryptic warnings about his nephew is not exactly what I was expecting when I got here today, but I’m kind of here for it.”
