    Summary

    So here Zuko is, with no family, no band, and no more record contract. Just another punker with a guitar who thinks he's got what it takes. Then he meets Avatar, the band breaking all the rules. They've got everything going for them, the rising star, and they're everything Zuko isn't. But maybe, just maybe, they want a new guitarist. As long as the pretty keyboardist with the blue eyes doesn't murder Zuko first.

    Summary

    Zuko/The Blue Spirit are such a great parallel to Bruce Wayne/Batman. This idea sparked the following story:

    In an urban jungle known only as The City, the Blue Spirit takes on criminals under the cover of night. Katara has spent her entire life living under oppressive governance. When a murder rocks the City, Katara must take on the mantle of the Painted Lady to solve the mystery. Together with the Blue Spirit, they unravel the dark underbelly of the metropolis and find that they are up against a foe who even the most hardened criminals fear.

    Necessary disclaimer for this day and age: there was no AI used in the writing of this work nor in the design of the cover art. I believe art worth sharing is one made by a human being, no matter how imperfect it is.

    Summary

    He opened his mouth to reassure his uncle, to tell him that he’d be able to start running in just as second, just as soon as the world stopped spinning, but instead all he muttered was, “I’m tired.”

    When Iroh brushed against the back of Zuko’s head the pain there abruptly muscled to the front of Zuko’s list of issues, and he gave a loud groan. Iroh pulled back quickly, but Zuko could see that his hand was now dripping with blood.

    “Then you should rest, Prince Zuko,” Iroh said, his voice calm and controlled, which would’ve been very nice if the lines of concern on his face hadn’t been so obvious. Zuko watched blearily as Iroh began to look sharply around them, apparently assessing something. “A man needs his rest.”

    The world started getting hazy again, but the lack of attempted movement was a slight improvement. A series of shouts pulled him back from the creeping numbness, and Zuko forced his eyelids open.

    Iroh was waving his arms, signaling to someone. “We surrender!” Iroh bellowed. “I am with the Crown Prince of the Fire Nation, and he needs a doctor!”

    ***

    OR:

    Zuko and Iroh are taken prisoner by the Northern Water Tribe following the battle in Agna Qel’a.
