Summary
Working for nobles had its wins and losses; Kanto counted the heaviness of his pockets by the end of the day as a win. The loss was when he inevitably got blamed for being lowborn when his "betters" were treated to their dues. But meeting her was a win. Of that, he was sure.
( or, kanto meets up with someone and comes to a heavy realization )

Summary
"Remember, Kanto, if someone asks you a question, tell them.. "
"Only what they want to know and nothing more than that."
"And if they ask about your eyes?"
"The Fire Nation took them."
In 92 AG, the fractured Earth Kingdom struggles under Fire Nation occupation. Where friend and foe are indistinguishable, and countrymen whisper in the ears of the enemy, trust is a commodity most could only afford in measure. When rumors circle about a woman who traveled with a child, most entertained the thought no further than a passing murmur.
It wasn't unheard of for women to flee with their children into the night, or abandon them in the mountain when food became scarce. But the whispers prick ears at the mention of the child's eyes - gold, not the kind seen in a war child softened by the Earth Mother's merciful umber, but imperial gold.
( or, the forgotten story of a boy and his mother)

Summary
In days long past, there was no separation twixt Earth, Ocean, and Sky.
Light is not goodness; nor is darkness evil. Those were conventions imposed by Creation. And long before Creation first walked the Earth and called themselves Man, long before Man deemed Light and Darkness in Words only those without Sight could understand; there was Chaos and Order - Vaatu and Raava. And from them, all things within the World would begin and end.
( or, the creation myth for this series and the fabled origin of the avatar lost to time )

Dropping a trio of lily livers in a canal was definitely not how Toph thought the day would go, but it did, and it was great. But running into a random boy at the scene of the crime was definitely not how she thought the day would go.

little soldier boy (come marching home) by unlockthelore
Fandom Avatar: The Last Airbender (Cartoon 2005)

Summary
Before this tale took its first breath, a voice asked the children who would bear the weight of its triumphs and sorrows, “Why is it you fight?”
And so the children responded with truth nestled deep within their hearts:
For balance.
For peace.
For prosperity.
For sanctuary.
For freedom.
For duty.
For justice.
For honor.
For glory.
For purpose.
For identity.
For love.And so the tale began.
In the North, a girl touched by the Moon kneels beneath the will of her people.
In the South, the ocean's chosen and a warrior of the mind lead their tribe through the push and pull of mourning's tides.
In the East, a girl beloved by the earth dwells within a gilded cage. Somewhere near, a warrior fans the waves of rebellion.
In the West, three siblings hold tight to one another. Two souls offer friendship, love despite fear. The mother shields, the father dreams, the uncle mourns a son lost.
For a hundred years, the world has forgotten its kindness, so to wish for kindness from Man is futile.
But the girl trapped in the iceberg, hope lost to time, knows different.
She remembers a kinder world.

Summary
Nearly a century after the last appearance of Sozin’s Comet, thirteen-year-old Fire Prince Zuko is banished by his father and given a near-impossible task: find and capture the elusive Avatar, the Fire Nation’s greatest threat.
After just three months at sea, he discovers a strange boy frozen in an iceberg.
To both Zuko’s confusion and frustration, the Avatar is nothing at all like he expected him to be. Why would he help him and his uncle escape from Admiral Zhao? Why does he insist on dragging them all over the world to the abandoned Air Temples?
…Why is he beginning to make Zuko question everything he has ever known?
Eventually, the Fire Prince finds himself faced with a dangerous choice: his honor, his family, his throne… Or the infuriatingly kind boy who has somehow managed to sneak his way into his jaded heart.
