Title: Careful What You Wish For; Chapter 1 Pairing: Mai/Zuko Rating: R Word count: 2500 Summary: Set before 'The Beach'. A star falls and Mai makes a wish, a wish that changes everything.
Title: House of the Rising Sun Rating: T Summary: Azula is resigned to a life in captivity until a certain Water Tribesman falls through her roof and into her life. Once again she is thrown into the world of political intrigue, family rivalries, assasination attempts and a war game in which she is the wild card. Characters: Azula, Zuko, Sokka, Long Feng, Ensemble Warnings: The usual dirty words, tons of blood and gore Notes: first part of a multi-parter! I'm turning Azula into an anti-hero. (anti-villain?)That means yes, this story will be Azula sympathetic. But I can promise that Azula is going to be beaten up quite a lot over the course of this story. So if you really don't like Azula but happen to be a sadist, stick around! Bear with me through the first chapter, it gets better, I promise.
It seems to be turning into a dark!fic that's like a study of Azula's relationships with pretty much everyone in the show, so believe me when I say everyone will be mentioned. (even if they don't show up for a while)
Mostly canon ships (Sokka and Azula will be bantering, but otherwise this is just a major ship tease, sorry! I like to be honest with my readers)
Title: The Prisoners Author: blue_lacquer Rating: K+ Characters: Mai, Ty Lee, Huu Pairings: Mai/Zuko; references to Sokka/Suki Word Count: ~26K, 14 chapters Summary: Mai and Ty Lee are trying to adjust to life in the Boiling Rock when they learn they're being transferred to the prison near the Fire Nation capital. Mai's uncle has rivals among his fellow wardens who demand that they be removed from his custody to avoid a conflict of interest. At Warden Poon's prison, Ty Lee finds new, unexpected friends in the Kyoshi Warriors and is comforted by being closer to her family. Meanwhile, Mai meets some of the oddest people she's ever seen: water benders from a swamp in the Earth Kingdom. She even becomes friends with one of them in particular, who challenges her pessimistic view of life. Notes: Written for avatarbigbang 2010 and originally posted there. This version has minor edits.
Title: Sozin's Bay Author: blue lacquer Rating: T Characters/Pairings: Mai/Zuko, Iroh Word Count: ~28,000, fifteen chapters plus prologue, completed Summary: Mai and Zuko run into each other in the colonies.

Hi there! Finally getting around to posting my bigbang fic! Here's a link to the first part, and all subsequent parts are posted at my journal.

Title: Meet Me on the Solstice
Word Count: 39,000 Rating: PG-13 Genre: Action/Friendship/Romance/Drama
Warnings and pairings: Character deaths (though none in the Gaang). Zuko/Mai, Sokka/Suki, Ozai/Mai, and hints of TyLee/Aang, Jet/Katara and Aang/Katara.
Summary: When the Avatar is critically injured on the day of Sozin's Comet and defeated by Firelord Ozai, the end of the war is set further back. Aang's friends must go underground, and they must leave Aang behind. Two years of servitude in the Fire Nation royal palace have finally yielded Aang and Mai the opportunity for victory, but with their friends scattered across the world, will they all find their way back to help end the war? From tragedy, comes new friendships; from defeat, new hopes. Notes: First, this is a future AU sort of story, a 'what if Aang had lost?' story that begins right at a pivotal moment during the series finale. The story goes AU from that moment. Second, I really wanted to explore the Spirit World and its possibilities, so a significant portion of the story takes place there. Third, I wanted to write about unlikely new friendships, and old ones that deepen because I tend to agree with my wonderful beta, akuni , that friendship is our favorite AtLA kink! And Fourth, this fic wouldn't be nearly as tight or coherent as it is without akuni 's help. Thank you SO SO much. Also, thank you avocado_love for being a wonderful mod -- laid back, yet authoritative, a difficult balance to achieve.
Story Title: Turtle-duck Author: ice_of_dreams Rating: T/PG-13 Pair ups, Characters: Mai/Zuko; Most of the females of the gAang and Fire Nation appear at one point or the other. Iroh too. Summary: Mai and Zuko prepare for the next generation.

Story Title: Circling Dragon, Rising Phoenix Rating: T/PG-13 Author: ice_of_dreams Characters: Mai and Zuko but everybody makes an appearance. Pair ups: Mai/Zuko, implied Suki/Sokka. Summary: The wedding of the Fire Lord to his lady.
No warnings. Post season 3. And... there, I hope you enjoy :) This is largely a stand-alone fic :)
Story Title: Like Moths to the Flame Rating: M Author= ice_of_dreams Pair up: Mai/Zuko Summary: Mai wants the world to know that the Fire Lord has chosen her, but Zuko resists the way she wants to go about it.
Warnings: M for a little tie me up, tie me down. Some innuendo. Nothing explicit. And post season 3.
My first foray into this fandom, so I'd love some C&C.
Title: Ashes, Ashes Author: dragonsinparis Rating: PG Wordcount: ~2,600 Characters: Ty Lee, Zuko, Azula, Mai, Katara. Mai/Zuko, but also some varied subtext depending on which way you’re prone to squinting through your shipping goggles. I ship everybody with everybody, so. Summary: Things go more than a little differently at the Boiling Rock. As it turns out, sometimes one choice can change everything. Then again, sometimes a different one can change it back again. Spoilers, obviously.
