History Fanfic / GuideMeHome

* MommyIssues: Katara and Azula in spades. They're getting better.

** There is also a nameless Northern Water Tribe couple who get married. That one could possibly be a PerfectlyArrangedMarriage. They are "very much in love".

* BlazingInfernoHellfireSauce: [[CrowningMomentOfFunny Ursa cooks a Fire Nation dish for the crew]]. In her defense, she did warn them.

--->'''Ursa:''' [[FlatWhat What?]]

* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Ursa is filled with guilt and shame at the start of the fic despite her work for the underground.

* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler: Poor Ornu.]]

Essentially, it's an [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse What Happened To All Those Mice,]] HurtComfortFic that follows [[FanficFuel Princess Ursa]] during all three books and is completely {{Canon}} compliant (well, until ''TheLegendOfKorra'' and the comic-book continuations came out, but that was two years later and so can be forgiven). Ursa has been living in the Earth Kingdom and secretly helping LaResistance. When she discovers a Fire Nation spy amongst the Earth Kingdom underground, she is forced to flee and is rescued by Chief Hakoda and his crew.

* LikeBrotherAndSister: Ursa and Mikko.

* PapaWolf: Hakoda. The phrase [[PapaWolf Papa]] [[EverythingIsWorseWithBears Polar Bear]] is actually used to descibe him.

* ArrangedMarriage: Ursa and Ozai. ItGotWorse.

''Guide Me Home'' is an AvatarTheLastAirbender Fanfic written by Qwi-Xux that has gained popularity in the fandom for... [[SturgeonsLaw actually]] [[SoCoolItsAwesome being good]].

Essentially, it's an [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse What Happened To All Those Mice,]] HurtComfortFic that follows [[FanficFuel Princess Ursa]] during all three books and is completely Canon compliant.

* FridgeBrilliance: [[spoiler: Azula's mirror hallucination in the finale wasn't just a hallucination, it was a flashback of Ursa finding her in Ba Sing Se.]]
** On that note, [[spoiler: Ursa isn't able to get through to Azula until she learns to trust others as well.]]

* MommyIssues: Katara and Azula in spades. [[IGotBetter They're getting better.]]

* MixedMarriage: [[spoiler: Ursa and Hakoda. Ran and Mila.]]

* GroinAttack: While teaching Ursa how to fight, Hakoda pins her against the wall and accidently puts his hand over her scar. She panics, a GroinAttack ensues and Ursa is absolutely mortified afterwards. I never thought it was possible to have an actual ''[[TearJerker tear jerker]]'' example of this trope.

* TortureAlwaysWorks: Averted. The red spider-fly venom is nasty but unreliable

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: This fic seems to exist to explain what happened to the mice, including Ursa, of course, Hakoda at various points, and also [[spoiler: Longshot, Smellerbee, everyone else who split up from the gaang at the beginning of "The Southern Raiders", and a few other people who showed up once and never appeared again.]]

* NightmareFuel: Ursa's nightmares about Ozai are genuinely frightening.

* CompleteMonster: Ozai already fell under this category in the series. Believe or not, he actually seems ''worse''.

* MoralEventHorizon: Ozai, obviously. Zhao also crosses it in a brief appearance when he [[spoiler: tortures Ursa with red spider-fly venom with the intent of using her against Zuko.]]

* TearJerker: Many.
** Hakoda telling Ursa [[spoiler: that he knows who she is and that her son is fighting with the Avatar.]]
*** "He's free."
** Ursa finding out about Zuko's scar.
** Azula. Just Azula.
** [[spoiler: Ursa and Zuko's reunion. A beautiful TearJerker for the characters and for the reader.]]

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: This fic seems to exist to explain what happened to the mice, including Ursa, of course, Hakoda at various points, and also [[spoiler: Longshot, Smellerbee, everyone else who split up from the gaang at the beginning of "The Southern Raiders", and a few other people who showed up once and never appeared again.]]
* TheWoobie: Ursa, oh so much. By the end, Azula also qualifies.

** [[spoiler: How is that bittersweet?]]
