One popular plotline is Aang and Zuko teaming up to face a new threat to the Four Nations. Maybe a long - lost ancient evil that requires both the Avatar's bending skills and Zuko's strategic mind. Another is a story where they go on a journey to understand each other's pasts better. This could involve visiting places that were significant in their respective childhoods.
If Aang and Zuko were brothers, it could change the Avatar World by creating a new era of peace. Their combined influence could lead to better relations between the Fire Nation and the other nations. For instance, Zuko's connection to the Fire Nation's royalty and Aang's role as the Avatar would mean they could work together to rewrite treaties and promote equality.
One interesting storyline could be Aang and Zuko teaming up to teach the next generation of benders. They combine their different bending knowledge and ways of life. Zuko could teach firebending discipline while Aang imparts the spiritual side of bending.
Fanfic writers often start with their initial distrust. Since they were enemies at first, writers show how they gradually break down those barriers. They might have them share a common goal, like protecting a village from a group of bandits. Through working together towards this goal, they start to respect each other's abilities.
Maybe Zuko has his own goals that don't involve chasing Aang. He could be more focused on redeeming himself in other ways, like helping the Fire Nation people or learning about different cultures without the need to pursue Aang.
One idea could be a time - travel fanfiction. Zuko and Aang could be sent back in time to the era before the war started. They would then have to use their knowledge of the future to prevent the war from ever happening. This would involve them working together to change the minds of key people and stop the events that led to the conflict.
There is some. Some of them might explore their relationship in the context of the Avatar universe's adventures, while others could be more about their personal growth and how their relationship develops over time. It really depends on what kind of story you're interested in.
One great 'Aang and Katara and Zuko' fanfiction is 'The Fire and Water Alliance'. It delves into how they work together to rebuild the world after the war. Their different abilities and personalities create interesting dynamics.
One common theme is friendship. Since they start off as enemies, many fanfictions focus on how they build a strong bond of friendship. Another is redemption. Zuko's journey of redemption is often explored further in relation to Aang.
