Go ahead and write your own idea! And while you're at it, you have my full permission to play around with the Toph-finds-Aang AU.
I didn't write CoD for that meme because I figured it would be rotten to make you wait for me to fill it. That's a several thousand word project and I don't like to do those for reward memes. In the memes I do for fun, I'm more willing to do that kind of thing.
Nothing happy or good ever happens in the Holding This Breath verse. Once you understand this, all the secrets of the world will be open to you. Aang doesn't learn firebending until after the war. He and the gaang are hanging out incognito in the conquered Earth Kingdom after Azula chased them out of the Western Air Temple, and when Ozai starts burning down the whole Earth Kingdom with the power of the comet, all four of them take him on. Aang goes into the avatar state, Ozai dies, Aang angsts, somehow they all deal with Azula, and then later, Aang and puppet Firelord Zuko bond over their shared lessons with their harsh and very reluctant firebending teacher. In an effort to connect with his uncle's memory, Zuko takes Aang on an adventure to the "ruins" of the Sun Warriors, and they dance with the dragons. Aang and the Southern Water Tribe help Zuko disentangle himself from the Northern Water Tribe, and Zuko becomes a full monarch.
The universe notes for Zenith and Nadir are here: http://attackfish.livejournal.com/65620.html?thread=735316#t735316 and the Zenith and Nadir tag with its one and only drabble is here: http://attackfish.livejournal.com/tag/zenith%20and%20nadir I'll get cracking on Z&N once I've wraped up Kindle the Wind.
I love that fic, as much for the idea of Zuko working For Toph for years as for the hell I get to put everybody else through.
