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.*

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.

Summary
Spock grabbed him and kissed him. Hard. Desperate. Long.
When he pulled away, McCoy looked absolutely dumbfounded. He blinked approximately ten to fifteen times, rapidly. The vein in his neck was pulsing. A slight flush extended from his cheeks to his throat. He was still close enough for his breath to tickle Spock’s nose.
It was all unbearably attractive.

Summary
“He imagined Zuko kneeling before his own father, a man who didn't have any reservations about hurting a child, begging in the same way. He imagined his own son being this scared of fathers. He threw up.
Watery bile from weeks on prison food spilt through his lips and he was hacking, choking on grief and horror. War had filled his lungs with smaug and ash and as he gasped for air through tears he couldn’t care less for his own misery, only that of the boy before him.”

Summary
Zuko never found the Avatar at the South Pole, but for some reason, The Gaang still decided to go on an Adventure. Hakoda may have told young Katara and Sokka some wild stories and Kanna may have been feeling vengeful but they never expected the kids to go out and cause trouble! Once news of the Avatar's Return surface, Zuko is dispatched to carry some very important mail whose target keeps moving around, until he finally happens upon the kid around old ruins in the arse-end of Earth.

Summary
“Go on then,” stupid Zuko challenged, even as his voice cracked, because he was an idiot Fire Lord who didn’t know when to shut up, and Sokka liked that undying fiery streak but also wanted to kill him a million times when they get out of this-
But all thoughts of throttling Zuko himself came to a halt because because Tezuka was smiling with perverse affection, then he was gripping Zuko’s face with one hand---
--lifting a burning palm in the other, and then--
--Zuko was shrieking, his voice high and terrified and so damn young --
--Sokka shouted, shouted because he was so useless --
Or,
Sokka and Azula bond over their mutual desire to keep Fire Lord Zuko alive. Post-canon.

Summary
If there was one thing Tony Stark hated, it was seeing something broken but being unable to fix it. It was the closest thing to OCD he had. Just staring at something broken made his fingers twitch for a tool and his mind whirl with possibilities to fix it, to make it better. Honestly, it was annoying sometimes, the longest he had ever held out on trying to fix something was a day and by the time he had started his hands were shaking and he was sweating like a sinner in church. It was ridiculous.
It also didn't stop at inanimate objects.
aka
Tony has a thing for taking in strays, the last ones trashed the house and ran away but that's not going to stop him from trying again.
