We all know and love the big fics! Once Around the Sun, Fanning the Flames, These Tides Do Turn, and many more. I would love to shout out and start a thread of the lesser known fics that you’ve loved. Those diamonds in the rough: one shots that got buried, old fics that never made it big and didn’t move to ao3, a seemingly abandoned fic that is still so good incomplete, and more. No restrictions. If you think it’s not well known rec it and if it’s yours and you want more people to see it rec it! Maybe note if it’s E though. I’ll go first! Again no rules but I’m going to consider small if under 3000-4000 hits, 30-40 bookmarks, and/or 100-200 kudos. Also please feel free to share thoughts on fics. I’d love to gush and converse about these niche fics!
I have added blurbs for each fic so it’s not just links and you can pick what interests you!

Great arranged marriage fic

If you’ve read The Goose Girl the original fairy tale or the book by Shannon Hale (definitely more the latter. They just go hand in hand) this is the fic for you. It has some of those vibes.

Outside of my parameters but I made them up and so I can break them. Kya and Hakoda seeing the future before Kya dies. Basically an our daughter married who?! Fic and it’s fantastic.

So this is Appa’s POV which is so fun and unique. It’s a bit more popular but I think that’s just cause of how old it is.

It’s crack. It’s just Sokka begging Katara to be with Zuko because he wants Zuko as a brother.
