Avatar: The Last Airbender/Fanfic Recs: Difference between revisions

 

== Authors and Websites ==

* Recommended by hillraiser 2011

* ''Status'': Dormant.

* ''Synopsis'': The series essentially starts off with what Zuko would have done if he had found out Azula was only tricking him with regaining his honor before leaving Ba Sing Se. He initially resigns himself to his true fate in the Fire Nation, only to be unintentionally rescued by the Gaang, who rescue Iroh to be Aang's fire-bending teacher. Zuko and Iroh end up joining them, and it goes from there, spanning over several "chapters" (read: fics).

* ''Additional Info'': Writer of a compelling "Chapter 3: Fire" [[Alternate Universe Fic|AU series]], Wren originally based it on speculation of what she expected in the then-upcoming Season 3, but officially changed it to an AU once the real season started. What sets the series apart from most "Zuko joins the group" fics is that the eventual joining up with the Gaang isn't a [[Easily Forgiven|seamless transition for anyone]]; it takes several "chapters" for Zuko, even with Iroh's guidance, to really settle in among the group, and for the Gaang to realize that Zuko isn't trying to capture Aang anymore...and never really wanted to for his sake.

 

* Additional Info: Writes mainly for Kataang, although quite a few of her stories include other couples as well. Most of her works are WAFF, but she pulls off angst with finesse. Definitely, definitely read.

 

* ''Status'': Ongoing

* ''Synopsis'': A Fanfiction.Net author, Alabaster has the rare gift of both hammer and anvil, turning out quality completed stories in months, when most of the same quality would take years. Almost all her works are openly of the Mai/Zuko pairing, which, while more popular than it was originally, is still a pairing that some in the fandom can't say two nice things about. Because of this, or in spite of this, all her works have a natural feel to them, flowing as if they were written as part of the series itself. Furthermore, there's something for just about everyone, romance, drama, politics, even action, despite her claims that she cannot write action scenes to save her life.

 

''[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/654059/ Lady Azar de Tameran]''

* ''Synopsis'': Another Fanfiction.Net author, Azar has an amazing talent for characterization. Although most of her stories are oneshots, she manages to capture the essence of the characters in each and every story.

 

* Recommended by Killing Joke.

* This is a very large fanon community, filled with unique stories of every shape, that'll have a story for everyone.

 

== General Fics ==

* Recommended by GM_ace

* ''Synopsis'': Two fics starring magnusrae's original Earth Kingdom character, Anko, alongside the usual cast. Shattered focuses on Zuko, and then others, falling in with Anko when Aang is captured by Zhao. Erosion is a prequel fic set during the war between the Fire Nation and the Earth Kingdom that expands on Anko's backstory, showing her history up until the days of Shattered.

* ''Synopsis'': Features [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Aang teaching Toph]] the philosophies of the other elements, starting with Airbending, then Waterbending and Firebending. Aang and Toph's relationship grows closer, so if you like to pair them up you can read some subtext between them if you want. It stands better as friendship, though.

They aren't sequels, but there is the occasional [[Shout-Out]] between them.

** This is not so much a Zutara fic as a massive crack fic with every "this can funny thing can happen at a wedding" cliche ever. In fact, despite the premise it's not a pairing fic ''at all'' besides having multiple crack pairs hinted at, most people getting happy endings, and Toph making fun of Azula's bridesmaid's dress with the line "I may be blind, but I can sense fugly a mile away". And [[Hilarity Ensues|did I mention that there's an open bar...?]]

* ''Synopsis'': Set in an Alternate Universe where the canon storyline and characters from the series never existed, [[T Ro S]] follows the story of Hayate, a boy from the Southern Water Tribe city of Sakuramura. Hayate stands out for being completely devoid of any waterbending talent, which is commonplace in the Water Tribes. The day starts out fairly normally, if not a little annoying, for him, until things take a turn for the worse. During a ceremony, the city is attacked by the Earth Kingdom, falling rather quickly. Most of the population is killed or taken prisoner, and by sheer chance Hayate, joined by resident jerkass Kiro and child prodigy Sukai, manages to escape the captured city. With nowhere to go back to, the three kids set on a journey to find out who was behind the attack on Sakuramura and what was the reason for it.

* ''Status'': Possibly dead

* ''Synopsis'': Based in a semi-alternate universe, as it was written before and during the third season. Surprising though one can also see a lot of canon in it too, just by sheer luck. In the story, things didn't end as happily for Zuko as they did and in the end he became increasingly insane especially after Iroh's death. Now his former friends are trying to stop him. Toph and Sokka are sent on a mission to save an important person that's rotting away in a Fire Nation prison, but they're deep behind enemy lines and their chances of success are slim.

But Katara has begun to suspect that there is something else she can do. For all she hears when she closes her eyes is his voice calling out to her from the Spirit World. To save Zuko, Katara must seek out Aang, who is the only person alive who can act as a bridge to the Spirit World. There's a problem, though, and it's not just what Toph calls 'Aang's Law.'

"[http://avatar.wikia.com/wiki/Fanon:Avatar:_Clash_of_Worlds/ The Clash of Worlds Saga]"

* Status: Three Completed series, the fourth is yet to begin.

* Synopsis: The original Clash was conceived as a comedic, non-canonical [[Negative Continuity]] crossover between five well-known Avatar Wiki Fanon stories, with one chapter being written by each author. The second had four of the series from the first being used, with one (Legacy of Fire) being replaced by Guardian. The third had the five series from the second, with two new series that had been created after the first two Clashes. A fourth Clash was recently conceived, following the departures/inactivity of five of the authors from Clash 3. This new Clash will consist of 8 series, with three of the series from the original trilogy (Wanted, Guardian and Child of Destiny) and their authors (Twilitlink, The Bos and Mightybrit) returning, as well as five "next-generation" series and their respective authors joining in.
