Summary
Everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked.
The Water Tribes united after centuries of isolation, and my ancestors fought to crush the Fire Nation before they could do any more harm to the world. The Water Tribes enforced peace around the world, keeping the traitorous ashmakers under their thumbs and scattering the airbenders.
I, Princess Katara of the Southern Water Tribe, will find the heirs of the fire nation throne and kill them, ending their futile little resistance group and establishing peace for generations.

Zuko has lived his whole life in secret, training with Azula for the day they would be required to join the war effort with their father. He expected an eventual coronation and a lifetime spent on the battlefield; he didn't expect to stumble upon an untrained Avatar.
Now, it's up to him and Azula to get Aang to a waterbending teacher. But are there any good waterbenders left in the world?

Summary
Pepper will do anything for Tony. Even rescue him from Afghanistan. (first chapter is Iron Man, second is Iron Man 2, third is the Avengers, fourth is Iron Man 3, fifth and sixth are Captain America: The Winter Soldier, seventh through sixteenth are Age of Ultron.- I can't guarantee I'll do Civil War, so I'm marking this complete, but the possibility exists, so you may choose to subscribe, just in case.)
It becomes increasingly AU as canon divergence leads down other paths.
(I am not kidding about the violence, but no good guys were hurt in the making of this fic.)
*I just noticed that the tag wranglers have synned 'Team Tony' with 'Civil War Team Iron Man' so this story will erroneously show up in a search for CW fic. I deliberately used Team Tony to avoid misleading people! I HOPE to extend this to Civil War, but I can't be sure it will happen. The canon divergence may make CW impossible in this verse.*

Summary
There were a lot of things the wheelchairs made James Rhodes felt like the world was against him, from eating to just about everything.
But there was one thing that the wheelchairs made easier: world domination.
Funny how the world worked.
