  Summary

  The Avatar's sole duty is to the world.

  This is a prequel to a Zutara fic: It discusses the ramifications of Aang not killing Ozai, the beginning of Zuko's reign, and what Katara/Sokka/Suki/Toph have been up to in the years since.

  I do not include anything from LOK (or the comics), anything that is matching is coincidental.

  Summary

  Slow burn, post-original series, not AYITL compliant/fix-it. The current story spans from 2007-2025 and will have a lot of near-misses, but it complies with the idea that every generation builds on the mistakes of the ones that came before them.
