Bookmarker's Notes
“Damian, this is Jason. He will be bringing you to your father. You are to obey him, do you understand me? Every instruction he gives you is for your protection,” Talia said sternly, throwing Jason a hard look.
***
Jason Todd has to bring Damian to Gotham for his protection, meets Billy along the way and just doesn't know how he's supposed to keep these kids safe while dealing with his trauma (aka killing that damn clown) -

Summary
While suspended in the avatar state, Aang harnesses its spiritual power to visit the great-grandson of his past life, a Fire Prince named Zuko. When he emerges from the iceberg to find that same prince, it's a simple decision to help him out.
Meanwhile, Zuko has to wrestle with Kuzon, his goofy childhood friend, and the Avatar, the ancient master of bending and his ticket home, being one and the same.

And of all the things Jason expected when he went back to Gotham to annoy the shit out of his Replacement, growing fond of the kid was not one of them.
But oh well, everyone knows life as a teenage vigilante/crime lord is full of surprises.

Summary
AU where Zuko realises early into his banishment that Ozai is an abusive bastard who sent him on a wild goose chase. Iroh turns their decommissioned warship into a floating tea shop, and Zuko settles down as a tea server onboard the Jasmine Dragon.
And then, years later, the Avatar emerges from the iceberg.
And then Aang decides that he wants Zuko, the first good firebender he’s met this century, to be his firebending teacher - even though Zuko wants nothing to do with him.
Based on this tumblr post.
(Please note: This fic is technically unfinished/abandoned, but contains end notes with my original plans to wrap-up the fic)
