27* ''Status'': Ongoing
28* Recommended by Ixmythot, @/{{Somariel}}, Red-Dead-Redeemer
29* ''Comments'': 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.

35* ''Comments'': The SpinOffspring of the Gaang run away from home to travel the world going on adventures, with Toph and an adult Tom-Tom being charged with bringing them back home.
36* ''Additional info'': The wiki contains information about the project and characters, and links to the discussion threads, while the stories can be found [[http://community.livejournal.com/gaang_jr/ here]]. There's no set canon for this story, and the contributions are a free-for-all; it's a good idea to read the threads discussing the project, to be up to date, but anyone can write stories about any character and any moment of the story.

54* ''Status'': Ongoing
55* ''Comments'': A fanfic author famed for both [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Fanfic/Retroactive plot-heavy]] [[Fanfic/TraitorsFace epics]] and weird comedy like ''Fanfic/MaisRamblings''. An excellent writer with a rather caustic sense of humor, he mainly writes stories for ATLA and Korra, though many are AU-ish.

65* Recommended by Kalaong
66* ''Status'': Dead
67* ''Synopsis'': "I like deep character development, A-plot emphasis, and moments of stark power, both tiny and tremendous. I have a Dickensian tendency to cram as many words into a single sentence as I possibly can. I am fascinated by generational stories, seeing how the past influences the present, and how the people who influenced us as children shape who we become, and how that in turn shapes the turn of the world. I am a complete sucker for a pure spirit and a noble heart, but find that throwing in a variety of contrasting (and occasionally extremely dark) characters surrounding this point of light makes for a much more fascinating story. Does it surprise you now that I love ATLA?"

72* ''Status'': Ongoing
73* ''Synopsis'': Yet another Fanfiction.Net author, Singer of Time not only has an amazing talent for characterization and humor, but is able to tell entertaining stories without [[ChandlersLaw inventing new threats]] to throw at the Gaang, instead focusing on high-quality SliceOfLife pieces that give the characters the chance to interact without clocks ticking over their heads. The result are some easygoing character examinations ''without'' angsty torment. But be forewarned -- if you're looking for anything beyond canon couples, look elsewhere.

77* Recommended by @/{{hillraiser2011}}, @/{{Somariel}}
78* ''Status'': Dead
79* ''Comments'': Writer of a compelling "Chapter 3: Fire" [[AlternateUniverseFic 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 [[EasilyForgiven 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.

109* ''Tags'': Angst, Family
110* ''Comments'': While very long (at over 150 chapters as of June 2021), this fic is nevertheless a great read, featuring Zuko as the reluctant adopted father of a half-Earth Kingdom, half-Fire Nation firebending baby. It's heavily canon-divergent, beginning halfway through Book 2, with (aside from the baby) such major changes as [[spoiler:Zuko's much earlier HeelFaceTurn, Jet surviving and [[HeelFaceTurn even joining the group alongside Zuko]]]], and Zuko and Jet's OddFriendship. However, much of the first half of Season 3 still remains intact.

On the road, they save a scatologically obsessed merchant from a group of bandits and are invited to a feast as a reward. At dinner, a storyteller relates the tale of the rise and fall of Prince Iroh. Much older and wiser, Iroh is forced to relive his past in front of an audience of the enemy, and Prince Zuko learns the answers to many questions he never bothered to ask about his guardian.
307** This is a story of Iroh's youth at a time when the Fire Nation was losing the war against a resurgent Earth Kingdom. Fire Lord Azulon, fearing both defeat abroad and rebellion at home, sends Prince Iroh to the Earth Kingdom under the leadership of his elder cousin, Prince Xian. The new army boasts terrifying new weaponry, but they face the greatest general in Earth Kingdom history and his mighty Army of the Granite Mountains.

400* ''Synopsis'': For them, the whole world is empty. The sands of time howl in a storm that deafens them to the sounds of all else. They have gone mad... and have, since then, gone sane. So unshakably, brutally sane that, at times, they wish that madness would come again if only to take away the sheer cold of the certainty. The certainty that their story will never... ever... end.
401* ''Comments'': The Gaang are trapped in a never-ending GroundhogDayLoop. Some seek inner perfection. Some ContemplateOurNavels. And some are just in it to use the world as a jungle gym. Any true fan of the series can guess who does which. The fun part is seeing five people who have been friends for an eternity travel through a familiar world, giving each other something to think about, and time in which to do it.

407* ''Synopsis'': Okay, it's not quite a fanfic. It's actually the Avatar characters going through each episode of the show and either choosing to instead do what any reasonable person would do or pointing out how ridiculous what they are actually doing is. Jokes tend to include Zuko's inconsistent fighting capabilities, Appa's apparent unwillingness to ever help in fights and Toph's inconsistent super senses.
408** YMMV on this one. This troper found it rather nitpicky, though the author seems to think they're being funny.
409*** While it can be a bit caustic at times, it does a good job tying together plotholes, and the end has some of the finest interpretations of character actions this troper has ever seen.

483* ''Synopsis'': It doesn’t take long for the rumors to start. The Fire Nation prides itself on its civilization. It isn’t like the other, lesser, nations who throw their children away by sending them into war. Those uncultured and unfeeling savages who are destroying their own future faster than the Fire Nation can save them from themselves. Every Fire Nation child goes to school. They learn reading and writing, the illustrious history of their country, and what will be expected of them as proper, upstanding Fire Nation citizens. They are to be protected, because children are the future glory of the nation. The crown prince is thirteen when his father burns his face in front of an audience of hundreds.
484* ''Comments'': Told from the POV of several OCs living in the Fire Nation, it's sometimes difficult to keep track of all of them, but this canon-compliant fic is both heartbreaking and realistic as it details the ripple effects of Ozai and Zuko's disastrous Agni Kai, and how it impacts the lives of ordinary citizens.

831* Status: Ongoing

833* Synopsis: A series of AU snapshots of life after the war in Caldera City. Here, Iroh has decided to stay in the Fire Nation rather than return to Ba Sing Se, and opens a new tea shop.
834* Comments: There are some chapters which touch some of the darker aspects of the original series (e.g., the circumstances behind Lu Ten's death, and Iroh's relationship with his father, Azulon), but overall, it's a true "warm-fuzzies" fest, with everyone kept in character (mostly; in a few chapters, some characters are quick to shed a tear or two). Zuko's "father and son in all but blood" relationship with his uncle is explored in more depth, which is much appreciated. The highlight, though, is Iroh's FriendToAllChildren nature being on full display after he adopts an orphan from a Fire Nation colony of the author's invention; it's just too sweet for words.
835** Be sure as well to swing by the author's [[https://www.deviantart.com/featherquilt88/gallery/67705804/3-avatar-fanwork DeviantArt page]], which features illustrations for some of these stories; admittedly, the author's drawing style may not be very well-suited to the familiar look of the show, but the scenes depicted are just heart-meltingly dear.

863* Recommended by BlaiddDunn
864* ''Status'': Inprogress
865* ''Synopsis'': For three years, Zuko searched for the Avatar. But he'd never really thought that much about what would happen once he succeeded.
866** Alternatively: Zuko actually has a plan for catching the Avatar at the North Pole. Somehow, it works. But after a few days of pai sho and tea, he begins to wonder if maybe it would've be better if it hadn't.
867* ''Comments'': By turns funny, tense and scary, this AU kick starts Zuko's redemption in a unique way by having him succeed for a couple of weeks and gradually realise that maybe something isn't quite right with the conditions of his banishment. At least until [[ spoilers: he gets reverse kidnapped/rescued by Aang after his farther boards the ship]], which complicates things somewhat. This fic is particularly special as it boasts one of the best written Aangs I've seen in fandom- the tension between childish humour, curiosity, kindness and serious danger, loss, and fear is brilliant. He works as a perfect foil to Zuko's perspective. Iroh is also a stand out, and his and Aangs interactions often made me giggle.

Brilliantly written, by turns funny, heartwarming and tense, everyone stays in character throughout. It avoids both easy emotional co-outs and pointless drama, and everyones stregnths and imperfections are clear and interesting.

Then Zuko adopts them. This is an absolute chocolate cake of a fic- sweet and comforting. It provides both lovely character studies for all four main characters, as well as a gentle plot to coax them into caring about each other. It's also genuinly funny, and there aren't many chapters where it didn't at least pull a smile from me. Perfect to read after a long hard day.

Hama obviously hasn't escaped in this AU, and teaches Katara all about bloodbending.

1003* ''Comments'': This AU starts with Aang being fatally injured in the escape and Zuko saving his life with fire-healing, and explores the gradual butterfly effect as this creates a platonic soul-bound between them. The first in a series, Catch and release is brilliant, but somewhat tragic- mostly working to bring In Spite of a Nail full force, as Aang tries and fails to forge a friendship in the face of Zuko's anger. However this works because it acts as a seriously good character exploration of both Aang and Zuko. The next stories in the series diverge more from the established plot in a way that's natural and engaging. But even this one is worth it.

1089* ''Synopsis'': A story about two brothers, opposite in personality: Sozin and Kuzon. Once Fire Lord Sozin intends to kill the Airbenders, his brother Kuzon betrays him by freeing as many as he can. Kuzon spends the first half of the war fighting alongside a small group of surviving Air Nomads against Sozin and his army, however can Kuzon escape the guilt from betraying his brother and his country?
1090* ''Notes'': When this was originally written, the author only used canonical information that was known at the time. As such Fire Lord Sozin is much younger here than he is in canon.

1270* Synopsis: Princess Ursa has already murdered one member of the Royal Family to protect her precious son. What is one more? And what is the burden of a throne, next to his safety?
1271
1272** Comments: A rather well written AU fanfic that knows how to use the ripple effect of Ursa taking the reins on the Fire Nation quite well. It is a really interesting take on the Fire Nation and war and the circumstances surrounding it compared to other stories; by making the Fire Nation more down to earth and less like mustache twirling tyrants that rule with an iron fist. Especially given how Ursa rules here, compared to Ozai in canon. She is not a military person but steadily adapts to the war and the situation in annexing all the nations, and proves to act more politically sharp minded and with a whole lot more heart to her actions. This means that the Fire Nation steadily transitions towards making a lot less stupid and chaotically evil decisions, and through becoming much more diplomatic and reasonable, makes several smart, decisive actions that give them huge advantages. This also adds some complexity to what the current canon protagonists faces as they start to enter the story. They, aside from Aang, grew up amidst the evil and cruelties of Azulon and Sozin’s respective reigns, who really did conquer for the sake of glorious conquest and ego, and consequently still see themselves being conquered as a bad thing. Yet due to Ursa becoming regent of the Fire Nation than Ozai taking the throne, the Fire Nation in the span of four to five years, has become much more reasonable and daresay ''almost'' benign than her predecessor’s were. Leaving the Gaang struggling against a Fire Nation that is now very, ''very'' good at putting on a face of being the reasonable, responsible adults in all this. It’s only made worse by how much those in charge genuinely believe what they are doing is for the good of the world. The protagonists are ultimately full of heart up against several political and strategic experts who know what they are doing. And quite frankly, the example of Ba Sing Se and how the “Earth King” rules only adds a lot of credibility to their arguments...

1278* Status: Dead (last updated May 2020)
1279* Synopsis: It had been an accident. That was what Zuko had said to his crew when he bended an element he hadn't been meant to. He wasn't the Avatar. The newest Avatar was in the Earth kingdom, hidden by its walls. Unless that Avatar had died long ago. So... how had he done it? AU.
1280** YMMV on this one. The pacing is terribly slow--only a few things of note happen in the first twenty chapters--and it has a bad case of BurlyDetectiveSyndrome, not to mention some grammar problems. However, the author also beautifully captures the angst that Zuko goes through after finding out he's his own mortal enemy and writes the other canon characters fairly in-character, though their real talent shines in fleshing out some OCs and minor characters that Zuko and co. meet along the way. Ultimately it depends on your tolerance for unprofessional writing technique and whether you're more interested in characterization or plot.
1281*** @/SubversionStation here. Would like to second the recommendation, because of all the above reasons but also because the fic (which was dormant for a few years, but started updating again in early 2020) has really picked up on the plot and is currently in its second "book," Water. Plus, the author has been going back and fixing up their earlier chapters, so the errors aren't as glaring as they were previously. It's worth a try if the plot synopsis piqued your interest.

1287* Synopsis: Set in an Alternate Universe where the canon storyline and characters from the series never existed, ''Requiem of Seasons'' 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. (Planned to be four books; the first is incomplete)

1350* ''Pairings'': Sokka/Suki, Sokka/Ty Lee, Zuko/Toph, Smellerbee/Longshot, Kataang; mostly canon influenced with some digression
1351* ''Synopsis'': "The sands of time did not allow the Avatar to stop the Second Comet. Now, a decade later, the Avatar awakens to a world where the balance is broken, but where hope has not yet been extinguished."
1352* ''Comments'': Aang was never found by Sokka and his sister on that fateful day one year before Sozin's Comet. Now, ten years later, the world is a broken place, and Aang must restore balance to a world ravaged not only by the Fire Nation, but also by an increased convergence between the Physical and Spiritual worlds caused by his extended absence. Good action, suspense, and intrigue, along with a little horror.

1425* ''Synopsis'': A version of the story where the characters are students at a college called Saint Roku University. This takes place on Earth (specifically the East Cost) and there is no bending or fantastical elements or anything like that, just alternate versions of the Gaang and their lives at college, dealing with friendship, drama, and all of that stuff.

1428** "You've taken these amazing characters and made them completely your own. It's not "fanfiction," it's a great show getting a new showrunner. Just a different writer making the characters....more."
1429** "Your story is incredible. You have an amazing way of taking what happened in the animated series and conforming it to college life.

1474* Synopsis: For years, Zuko has believed the Fire Nation to be unstoppable. That is, until an iceberg washes up on his ship and leaves the long lost Avatar behind -- except this Avatar is a fifteen year old girl who hasn't fought a day in her life and is wholly unprepared to stop a war and save the world. Armed with only his dual dao swords, his sister's bending, and the Avatar's skills, Zuko, Azula, and Ty Lee set out to master the elements and stop the Fire Lord, all while the clock ticks down to the end of summer and enemies surrounding them.
1475* ''Comments'': To clarify the summery: An AU where Zuko's friends swap roles with the Gaang. Ty Lee is the Avatar, Zuko is a banished swordsman, Azula is a firebending master.

1483* ''Comments'': AU in which Ty Lee fights and defeats Aang, but finds she can't go through with killing him and saves him from Azula, joining the Gaang and even forming a romance with Aang. Ty Lee is the standout character here, being handled in a surprisingly serious manner, the story showcasing her moral conflict between her loyalty to the Fire Nation and doing the right thing in a way that the show itself doesn't. The story was written before the show ended, so it features its own version of the finale of Sozin's Comet, and it's honestly rather well-done, being dramatic and action-packed. Finally, the romance between Aang and Ty Lee, while not a focal point of the fic, feels genuine and believable.

It's a High School AU starring all our favorite characters, remodeled into this setting. What makes it unique is that the writer found a way to mirror the events of the story.

Ayika is a servant but soon she will be at the heart of a crisis that will rock this ancient capital.
1537* ''Comments'': The author explores the political and cultural aftermath after the end of the show through the lens of one sliver of Ba Sing Se. No canon characters make appearances, but it is still very interesting to see these very enjoyable new people living in the new world Aang and his friends created. For a genre description I would say Urban Adventure with a little Mystery and a lot of Political Drama simmering just outside the view of the main characters.

1964* ''Synopsis'': Katara starts stalking Zuko at the Western Air Temple in "Stalking Zuko." In "Not Stalking Zuko," Katara has (presumably) left her stalking days behind her, but still has some stalkerish relapses. In both, the Gaang get into trouble, shenanigans happen and Katara and Zuko get into some...awkward moments.
1965* ''Comments'': This story is technically canon-compliant, as all scenes from ''The Western Air Temple'' onward appear (though narrated by Katara) and with a lot of background material about what went on in between. ''Stalking Zuko'' ends after "The Southern Raiders," while ''Not Stalking Zuko'' includes Ember Island and all except the ending of "Sozin's Comet," which finishes off in the last piece. It's funny, cute and includes long, interesting author notes at the end of each chapter. Overall good read, though ''Not Stalking Zuko'' has a lot of boring and skippable filler before "Sozin's Comet" finally starts.

2106* ''Notes'': This is a complete AU. Basic information: (1) There is no war, so all four nations have been at peace for the past century. (2) Aang, while still the Avatar, is very old. (3) Due to royal families frequently visiting each other for political and personal reasons, Hakoda and Ozai knew each other growing up.

2129* ''Synopsis'': After moving in together, Katara and Aang have their first big fight. Each turns to Zuko for counsel as they try to decide what they want from their future.
2130* ''Comments'': Post-canon; Aang and Katara's natural differences and assumptions lead to their first major break up, and naturally they both go to their best friend Zuko for comfort and solice. Zuko meanwhile, is suffering. Is part of a series where Zuko/Katara/Aang does happen- however this is the most complete story wise and works just fine on its own. It is also a lovely character drama that I kept returning to over and over again.

2195* Recommended by Killing Joke
2196* ''Status'': Three Completed series, the fourth is yet to begin.
2197* ''Synopsis'': The original Clash was conceived as a comedic, non-canonical NegativeContinuity 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.

2236* Crossover With: ''Series/StargateSG1''
2237* ''Status'': Complete
2238* ''Synopsis'': The spite of the spirits opened a door better left untouched. On the other hand, with Fire and Earth as one's allies, sometimes escaping is the easy part.
2239* ''Comments'': An amazing crossover between A:TLA and Stargate [=SG1=] staring Toph, Zuko, Carter and Janet Fraiser. Everyone is amazingly in character and the two shows are blended marvelously. Author is excellent at writing action, which is good because there are major fight scenes throughout. Kryal also brainstormed the story with the Crossover Queen herself, Vathara.
2240** Seconded by Kalaong. Kryal actually blows Vathara clear out of the water with this one, giving ''every'' character a chance to be amazing without bashing ''anyone''. Even ''Aang'', the fandom's designated ButtMonkey, manages to pull off a series of amazing acts of thoughtfulness, wisdom, and badassery. Aang does get a mild tap, but it is immediately followed by some hard thinking on his part that is ''perfectly'' in character. The Tok'Ra get a nasty slap, but again, the characterization is spot-on, making repeated references to canonical responses. Also, Kryal spends a ''lot'' of time developing a {{Platonic Life Partners}}hip between Toph and Zuko that the series hinted at but never got a chance to develop.
2241** And a third by [=LentilSandEater=]. A great read for any Avatar fan, Stargate knowledge helps too but you can get by without it. The writing alone is pleasurable to read.

2254* Recommended by Tropers/{{Tikigod784}}
2255* Crossover With: ''Franchise/MassEffect''
2256* ''Status'': Complete
2257* ''Synopsis'': The Cycle of the Avatar has held for thousands of years. Other Cycles can stretch far, far longer. An A:tLA/Mass Effect Cross-Over.
2258* ''Comments'': A blend of the Avatar and Mass Effect universes in that the Earth of A:TLA replaces our Earth. What this means for the universe besides Shepard being the Avatar is that Bending is a present and practiced phenomenon among all the races of the Citadel as well as the presence of spirits and certain other aspects of the Avatar universe. Interesting not just because of the crossover itself, but because it shows an Avatar who is fundamentally broken and has spent most of her life (including parts of this story) making things worse for herself rather than experiencing the spiritual growth that we've seen the other Avatars go through. Fight scenes are excellent and detailed, with most enemies that Shepard faces being competent, and not just because some of them are better at bending then she is. Canon names being included in regard to humans actually does get explained so don't let that throw you off.

Over the next three thousand years, technology advanced astronomically, and the people of the overcrowded world took to the stars. Now, the Avatar is an obscure myth, bending is regarded as a relic of a dead past, and only two of the original countries still exist: the Fire Nation, one of the most powerful forces in the Union of Allied Planets, and the Water Tribe, clinging to life on the Outer Rim, still fighting for the dream of independence. The latest civil war ended seven years ago, in a landslide victory for the Alliance.

2282* ''Synopsis'': A world in chaos on the brink of war. A secret alliance with the intent to change the world through five very unique young men. A young woman driven to the heights of power with a goal for peace and hope for all. War is so much more complicated when all sides can bend the elements. In the year After Comet 195, the world will rely on five very unlikely saviors.
2283* ''Comments'': ''Tears of Revelry'' is the story of ''Gundam Wing'' adapted into the ''A:TLA'' universe, taking place almost two hundred years after the end of the latter in place of ''WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra''. While it deviates from the source material, the overall story remains and is definitely worth a read.

2292* ''Comments'': This is a series retelling of the last season of The Last Airbender (with the crossroads of destiny added in). But don't be fooled by that description. With the transformers bringing extra power and ambition to the last days of the war, things are a bit more complicated and not nearly as easy as before. Characters are shuffled, elements from different series emphasized or connected. And the final battle is a sprawling fight even more epic than before.

2353* ''Comments'': Unlike many of the others on this page, this is not primarily an ATLA fanfic- but Iroh appears as a member of the Council of Masters, and what appears to be a post-destruction Ba Sing Se (and a young firebender girl) is viewed through the windows of the Citadel. As this fanfic is in its early stages, and the multiverse figures as a central element of the story, all signs point to further ATLA involvement in the story going forward.

2371* Music: "The Plagues" from ''WesternAnimation/ThePrinceOfEgypt''
2372* An amazing video that not only catches the meaning of the song, but provides a very fitting translation into the events of the series.

2381* Music: "Going Home" by Chris Daughtry
2382* Heartwarming shippy goodness, I know, but this song really does fit the Aang and Katara to a tee. Combine that with a masterfully edited video with subtle special effects that enhance rather than override the series' natural beauty, and you've got a winner.

2390* Recommended by kiapet
2391* Music: "All I Ever Wanted" from ''WesternAnimation/ThePrinceOfEgypt''
2392* This song could have been written for Zuko, and the video uses it perfectly to show Zuko's feelings in early season three.

2395* Recommended by Mycomp
2396* Music: "One of Us," from ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKingIISimbasPride''
2397* If you felt for Zuko during season 2, prepare to get your heart punched by an awesome video that mixes rhythm, imagery, voice, and metaphor into a small work of art. A must-see for fanvid fans.
2398** Interestingly, if you're a die-hard fan of both ''Avatar'' AND ''The Lion King'', you might notice that Zuko's character arc mirrors that of Kovu, in several ways; with that in mind, the choice of song for this video is all the more appropriate.

2413* Music: Audio from the ''Avatar: The Last Airbender'' episodes
2414* This is part 1 of a fanmade version of the film which is much better than the original. It does not yet cover the whole movie but the series is being updated slowly.

2423* Music: "Weight of the World," by [=NerdOut=]
2424* A fanvid featuring a completely original song written in honor of the series, which perfectly conveys Aang's thoughts and feelings knowing the great burden that he shoulders as the one person who can restore balance and harmony to the world.
