For months she had walked the world with Aang and Sokka and Katara and later Zuko, and each stride had been a rush of information and incalculable detail concerning the land's every last subtlety. She bent the earth starting with her callous-hard heels, molding her own place beside rock, garden, field and forest.

Being a father is much, much harder than being a Fire Lord. Don't let ANYONE tell you otherwise.
Without speaking, they creep along the ancient beams and step lightly on the overlapping tiles, pausing from time to time to watch for activity below.
Five unrealized scenarios in which Zuko plans to inquire after Mai’s possible betrothal, and one that is.
See title.
The evolution of a relationship.
AU futurefic, set in a world where Aang didn't make it past his confrontation with the Fire Lord. Vague spoilers for Avatar S2. Jossed by Avatar S3.
