History Fanfic / TraitorsFace

''Traitor's Face'' is an epic by [[http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1723055/Loopy777 Loopy777]], a prolific author of ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'' fanfiction. It's a ForWantOfANail AlternateTimeline that gives Aang a new adventure when he emerges from his iceberg, as well as a new cast of allies. The story is a aversion of TheStationsOfTheCanon, with the various "episodes" sharing at most a title and a setting with equivalent events from the original versions.

* ArcherArchetype: Mai learns archery from Longshot.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Earthbenders, naturally. Toph is the same case as in canon. OC character Sabure is described as being uncomfortable without having any earth to feel under her feet, and even the no-nonsense Kirai prefers walking around in bare feet by default.

* BareYourMidriff: Mai dresses this way to ask Kei Lo for help near the end of Act 3, but prefers clothes that let her hide weapons.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: How [[spoiler: Toph]] became the Earth King after the destruction of Ba Sing Se- she beat up the Earth Sages and other such until they [[SheIsTheKing declared her king.]]

* AdaptationalVillainy: Pakku and Iroh are evil in this AU.

* AmbiguouslyEvil: Ozai and Iroh.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: How Toph became the Earth King after the destruction of Ba Sing Se- she beat up the Earth Sages and other such until they [[SheIsTheKing declared her king.]]

* KnifeNut: Mai and Heiyaoshi.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: So many that the gAang has a rotating membership!

* Foreshadowing: The Koh prologue.

* Mordor: The Ashlands, the holdouts in the Earth Kingdom where the Fire Nation unleashed the full power of Sozin's Comet and left nothing but deserts made of ash.

* Necromantic: Long Feng for Ba Sing Se, as far as the gAang's perspective goes.

* MoralDilemma: A central focus amidst all the action and intrigue.

* NotUsedToFreedom: After spending her entire childhood in a small cage, Katara often feels unsafe in new surroundings after being freed. [[spoiler:Bloodbending helps her to get over this fear, though.]]

** Oh, Azula ''definitely'' saw that one coming. And she had every intention of leaving the prisoners behind to get vaporized by the eruption.

* BiTheWay: People have noticed that Katara and Ty Lee get along really well, including sparring together in their swimsuits, despite also being attracted to men.

* BackForTheDead: Kirai in Act 3.

* BadassGrandpa: The various old Masters, as in the original cartoon... but in this AU, they're not necessarily on the same side!

* YouCantGoHomeAgain: When Aang visits the Southern Air Temple in this AU, not only does he find more corpses than in the cartoon, but the spiritual imbalance in the place raises the corpses as something like zombie monsters that eat people's souls! Defeating the monsters and saving his friends does not feel like a victory to Aang.

* JerkassFacade: Mai uses this to both cover her inner vulnerability, and also her lack of enthusiasm for her allies' cause while working for the enemy.

** [[spoiler: Sadly both Aang and Mai end up doing this. Mai sacrifces her face to Koh in order to save Aaang from the mutated Zhao and Aang to restore the balance. ]]

* DoesNotLikeShoes: Earthbenders, naturally. Toph is the same case as in canon. OC character Sabure is described as being uncomfortable without having any earth to feel under her feet, and at one point even the no-nonsense Kirai indulges in walking around in bare feet.

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: Aang is able to restore balance to the world and repair the spiritual damage but at the cost of his life. Mai's soul is freed from Koh and she's reunited with Aang, but they have to pass on. With Aang gone, the Air Nomads are extinct. Sixteen years later, even with the spiritual balance restored, the world has a long way to go before any final peace. While the United Water Tribes are growing strong, the Earth Kingdom is still pulling itself together, and the Fire Nation has disentigrated into civil war. However Sokka, Katara, Yue, Toph, Suki and Zuko are there to continue the struggle. And a new Avatar is ready along with a reborn familar friend...]]
