Summary
Fire was an element that either commanded respect or consumed fear. Aelita Kenshin had experienced both feelings during her sixteen years of life. A firebending master reduced to nothing but the hollow shell of what she once was, the Butcher of Ba Sing Se no longer trusted the power beneath her fingertips.
The entire world believed the Avatar to be dead and nearly all of the Akira's world thought she was too. Forced to leave Aelita's body behind, Aang and the others are left to grapple with the grief that threatens to overwhelm them with only their desire for peace and justice pushing them forward.
Welcomed home as war heroes next to their sister, twin Princes Zuko and Zetzu are thrust back into the game of thrones, forced to face their demons. With tensions rising faster than Sozin's Comet approaches, it's soon clear that only one of them can be left to inherit their family's scorched legacy.
Fire is the element of power. The people of the Fire Nation have the desire and will to achieve what they want. Only time will tell if that power and desire will be too much to handle as the fate of the world is forged in fire.
Book Three of the series Akira: The Legend of Aelita.

Summary
Seit sieben Jahren sitzt Zuko nun als Feuerlord auf dem Thron und die Zeit hat ihre Spuren hinterlassen. Der Respekt seines Volkes schwindet, Attentäter lauern im Schatten, seine eigenen Wachen sind nicht mehr loyal und innerlich droht er zu zerbrechen.

Von ihnen hat man lange nichts gehört. Aang ist verzweifelt auf der Suche nach den letzten Luftbändigern und übersieht dabei, wie sehr sich die Beziehung zu Katara verändert... oder vielleicht schon zerbrochen ist...
Inmitten von politischen Intrigen und persönlichen Abgründen findet Zuko plötzlich Halt an unerwarteter Stelle...bei Katara. Doch was als vorsichtige Freundschaft beginnt, entwickelt sich zu etwas viel Tieferem... etwas, das beide nicht vorhergesehen haben. -

Summary
"Things used to be simpler. Worse. But simpler."
***
In the twelve years after Ozai's defeat, much has changed, but not all for the better. After another fight, Katara leaves the Air Temples - no, flees from the Air Temples - to seek refuge in Caldera. She hadn't spoken to Zuko in years, not since the letter, not since Ember Island... Whether she is making a mistake, she does not know.
Not all things have changed for the better. Their group of five has been splintering under the pressure of politics and personal grudges. Their enemies know how to use their disagreements to their advantage... When an unforseen calamity strikes Caldera, and the Fire Nation appears to be on the brink of a civil war, Katara and Zuko have to revisit the last years of their relationship to unravel the mess of guilt, shame, anger, and longing. In the meantime, the web of questions and mysteries thickens, eventually spanning most of the known world... Who is responsible for the attacks? Who is the head of the Dai Li? Who is eyeing the throne?..

Summary
"Don't listen to him, he's an idiot Water Tribe peasant who can't read!"
"Hey! I can read."
In a world without the Avatar, the people desperately craved a savior, someone to end the tyranny of the Fire Nation. This saviour had to be the Guardian, the one who could wield two elements. Then the world heard what child had become the Guardian, it was Princess Akemi of the Fire Nation, Fire Lord Ozai's eldest child. The world lost hope, blind loyalty of a daughter to her father and of a princess to her nation would cloud the Guardian's judgement and she would fight against the rest of the world.
This isn't the story of some girl becoming who she was meant to be, this is the story of Akemi paving her own road and shaping her destiny. And finding a family along the way.

Summary
Nothing has been untouched; starvation, exploitation, and death at the hands of the Fire Nation. As the Southern Water Tribe’s benders are hunted to extinction, one is born beneath a full moon. Her first cries echo through the night: a waterbender.
The raid came fast—brutal, merciless. But Katara was spared. Hidden away in the Fire Nation palace, growing up in the shadow of her enemies. Forced to assimilate for survival, she clung to the only remnants of home, her mother’s necklace… and the light in a lonely boy’s golden eyes.
Zuko. The prince who made her laugh when nothing else could.
The Avatar returned, the war’s tides shifted, and Katara seized her chance to escape.
Joining Aang, she fights for the world’s freedom—while battling the ghosts of her past, including the boy who never wrote, the boy who stood on the wrong side when it mattered most.
He comes seeking redemption. And though she’s the only one who hasn’t forgiven him, those long-buried feelings—have never truly left her.
In the quiet moments between battles, they begin to surface again, soft and smoldering. And slowly, painfully, their hearts begin to remember what they once were… and thoughts of what they might become. -

Summary
"And now! The moment you have all been waiting for! It is time to announce the tributes! Happy Hunger games! And maybe the odds be ever in your favour!”
Thousands of names, Katara thought desperately to herself, there are thousands of names in that bowl, it won’t be Sokka, it won't be Sokka.
“The district 11 male tribute will be…” Ming Ming paused to squint at the paper, “Sokka, son of Hakoda!”
“And now for the ladies...” Ming Ming said, but Katara barely hears her. Greif has already set in. Katara knows her brother, strong as he is, will not survive a Hunger Games, not against the terrifying fire-bending tributes from districts one, two and three. The odds are never in her family's favour.
This is proven true when Ming Ming announces that the female tribute from district 11 will be Katara.

Summary
In the chaos of the Day of Black Sun, before Zuko confronted his father and left to find and join the Avatar, Zuko wrote a letter to the woman he loved. A letter that broke her heart in the hope that it would keep her home and safe. It didn't work that way. Instead, it kept Mai and Ty Lee as ignorant of the true scale of what was really at stake as his new friends until it was almost too late, and denied them the chance to do the right thing because it was right. Everyone knows what happened next.
In the present, an unexpected romance between Mai and a man she had only occasionally thought of exposes the true scale of the consequences of that day. Consequences that threaten not just the survival of the Enterprise crew and Aang's friends, but the futures of four species. As the situation begins to spin out of control, Zuko finds himself once again at the crossroads of his destiny. Can he prove to everyone, even himself, that he still has a role to play in humanity's future? Or will he falter, to the ruin of all?

Summary
"Life happens wherever you are, whether you make it or not." -Uncle Iroh
'~.~'--'~.~'On the ferry, Jet thought he'd found a kindred spirit.
Zuko had the good sense to be wary of making friends in the city.
It was a passing fascination with one another that had ended the moment Jet spotted previously cold tea steaming in a cup.
In another world, an evenly-matched fight in the street and an arrest by the Dai Li would be the final time their paths would ever cross.This, however, was not that world.
Somehow, someway, the strings of fate had unwound and rewoven to give their story a different ending.Beneath the waters of Lake Laogai, the rocks sent Jet's way did not land a fatal blow.
Beneath the palace of Ba Sing Se, Zuko made a different choice.
Each had done things that they were not proud of to get where they were, and life would not be much kinder moving forward. Especially when they refuse to get along.
Even so, there is comfort to be found when mixing lychee and jasmine.

Summary
They had no idea when things started changing between them. Maybe it was instantaneous- like lava meeting water, hardening in an instant with a furious hiss of ember and steam.
Or perhaps it was the little things - reading Fire Nation plays by the turtleduck pond as the setting sun painted the water gold, stories and legends traded like treasures beside a crackling fire in the unending night of the South Pole.
Or it was in the whispered tales of mothers and siblings and uncles and gran grans - each shared word a delicate thread pulling them closer and closer.
No matter how one thing was sure- they were no longer strangers, a thorn in each other's paths. Neither friends nor foes, neither warm nor cold but something in between. Somehow, somewhere along the way, in their dreams and only in their dreams, Katara and Zuko found each other.
In other words - Katara and Zuko start meeting each other in their dreams and shenanigans ensue.

Summary
Possession. Katara. His.
His bride. His Fire Lady. The Southern Water Tribe traded rebellion for alliance, Hakoda’s resistance silenced with a single marriage vow. Together, they’ll look like saviors—two star-crossed lovers uniting nations, ending the war with peace in their hands.
Peace on Fire Nation terms.
And no one will dare protest.
___What begins as a ploy for the throne becomes far more than Zuko ever planned: an unplanned pregnancy, a rushed marriage, and every secret he’s kept spilling out too soon. A broken union no one knows about. Two children who only have half the story.
And a war that pits husband against wife.
“You can leave, but you’ll always be my wife.
And I’ll never stop trying to get you back.” -

Summary
A lot has happened since Katara and Sokka found Aang in the ice. Back in the Earth Kingdom to find an Earth bending teacher for Aang they’re confident that they can face anything in the way without anyone else unless it’s Aang’s teacher.
But when Aang has a vision of a mysterious man with feline creatures in a swamp and found him for real Aang suddenly and quickly forget how kidnapping is illegal.
~
What Lance and Keith is doing is definitely illegal. They should know, they made the rules, but coming across a planet with alien life that looks and acts exactly like humans who were they to resist the temptation to blending in with an undiscovered alien civilisation? How were they supposed to know this world had magic people who could move elements with their mind? And what the heck was the Avatar?
AKA Lance gets kidnapped by some kids and decides magical powers/destined saviours or not they need adult supervision.
AKA Keith gets stuck with a ansgsty prince, a tea loving uncle, goes through hell trying to find lance, make sure they don’t die, and resist the urge to commit manslaughter or homicide.
He succeeds at most of that stuff.
