Summary
Through the carnage came a figure cloaked in shadow, she appeared to move through the bodies rather than step on top of them. Even standing somewhere around seven or eight feet tall, she was far too humanoid to be a foe, they had long since abandoned their ruse of playing at humanity. She wore a cloak that appeared to dissipate and knit together like threads of smoke, the gossamer threads like the grey of a new dawn. Under the hood, he could only just make out her eyes, a clouded sky blue, pupils, and her gaze unending.
She stopped before him, their eyes meeting through his tears. There was no empathy in her gaze, only his own agony reflected back at him, though her hand was light as a soft breeze as she tipped his chin up.
“Please,” Dick said, even though he didn’t know what he was asking for: release, mercy, death.
“You long to go back.”
“Yes.”
“For a different outcome.”
Dick nearly choked on the word, “yes.”
“I can make it so. I can give you the gift of foresight, but I warn you, it comes at great sacrifice as it does for anyone else who it is bestowed upon.”
Dick Grayson may not be able to change everything, but my god, is he going to try.

There Is No Fire Lord by OccasionalStorytelling for MuffinLance
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender

Summary
This is an AU for MuffinLance's "zuko botches his escape attempt and spends the rest of the war in prison then has to be Fire Lord having never gotten his redemption arc" Towards the Sun. This is more of a "zuko botches his escape attempt and spends the rest of the war in prison, and then when he becomes Fire Lord they leave him in prison" kind of thing.
After committing treason, Zuko spends months in prison, and even after both his father and Azula go missing, the guards can't coax him out of his cell. And then the Avatar shows up. How's the Gaang supposed to talk to a Fire Lord who doesn't even believe he's the Fire Lord?

Summary
[ “You dare suggest I betray Iroh? My firstborn?” The Firelord’s voice was laced with anger, and for a moment the flames around the throne flickered. Ozai froze; he’d failed. But then there was a pause, before his father continued, the flames returning to normal. “You have grown bold, to ask such a thing of me. Tell me why you believe I should, as you put it, use you.” ]
Instead of flying into a rage when Ozai demands that Iroh's birthright be revoked, Azulon asks for his reasoning. Ozai thinks this is a good sign. He is very wrong.

Summary
When Zuko was banished two years ago, he didn't think his life could get any worse. In a few ways, it got better. He didn't have to see Zhao's sickening smile everyday. No more Azula teasing him day in and day out, either.
Instead, he was desperately chasing a non-existent person around the world with a crew that liked him less and less every minute. That is, until one fateful day in the South Pole, when he managed to find the very last airbender on earth.
Zuko thought things couldn't get any better or worse. But the universe had a way of never holding back on him. Before Zuko could blink, he was branded a traitor and running for his life.
And the worst part of it all?
He finally found the Avatar.

Summary
Sokka's eight years old when he learns the dark and sobering truth that changes his life forever: he's a firebender. Unable to accept the truth himself, let alone share the truth with others, he lives in denial and repression for years until the Avatar comes along. As they travel across the globe, Sokka wrestles with his identity and his views on those who practice firebending. Are they all evil? If they are, does that mean he is, too?
Told as a series of one-shots at different points throughout the series in chronological order through Sokka's POV.

Summary
In one short month, Zuko’s life changes irrevocably: two family members die, another disappears, and he is classed as an omega. Grasping for a sense of stability and for his father’s approval, he dives headlong into an engagement with Zhao, a naval officer with ties to an important noble family. Zuko's been told this marriage is vital to the unity of the Fire Nation, but whether Zhao cares about anything other than his own ambitions remains to be seen.

Summary
Sokka always felt like he was different from the other children in the village, and not only because all the other boys where at least 3 years older than him. But he never would have thought that he would be a firebender. That fact ... changes things.
A (hopefully complete) rewrite of the canon story with Firebender!Sokka.

Take My Hand (Life Could Be Better Than This) by Shadowscast

Summary
It's 2015. Ben is dead, but he's doing his best to keep his brother alive. It's not easy, when Klaus's first priority is to stay high all the time.
In the midst of a particularly rough patch, the ghost of a soldier shows up claiming to know Klaus from the Vietnam War. Weird, right?
But as it turns out, a timely intervention by this dead soldier may just turn everything around—Klaus's relationship with his siblings, his relationship with his powers, and (does Ben even dare to hope?) his relationship with drugs.
(What is this fic about, actually? I'm going with: Klaus/Life enemies-to-lovers slowburn.)
