Burning Ice: A Benders' Tale (avatar fanfic)

Jinx_Arcane
On what seems like the darkest day of his life, a man meets an unexpected end. But rather than the oblivion he expects, he finds himself face-to-face with Death itself. With a smirk, Death offers him a second chance—not just to live but to shape a world on the brink of upheaval. Reborn in a foreign realm split into four distinct nations, he quickly realizes that he’s been granted an extraordinary gift: mastery over the raw, opposing powers of fire and ice bending. As he journeys through these lands, he learns to wield his abilities with terrifying precision, becoming both a beacon of hope and a harbinger of fear to those who witness his power. Along his path, he crosses fates with remarkable figures: a fierce, blind girl whose senses can perceive the world in ways he never imagined, and a nimble circus performer whose talents in acrobatics and flexibility hide layers of cunning and strength. Together, they traverse lands gripped by conflict, forging bonds as deep as the powers they wield. With each step, he leaves an indelible mark on the nations, setting off a chain of events that will shake the very foundations of this world. His journey, his allies, and his newfound powers will forever change the course of history.

Beauty and the Thief [BL]

Tao Hua's life is fucking miserable, and that misery somehow earns him the title of "Village Disgrace." In order to cope with the awful treatment, he often retreats into words untold, dictated by the flip of a page. These worlds leave him with the dream of escaping this piece of shit town. To his utter dismay, his wish comes true, but not in the way all those fairytales promised. His saviour is a man he becomes enthralled with and whom he names “Lord No-Name.” This male lead is a touchy man with many faces. And for lack of a better word, Tao Hua can’t decide if he’s either the story’s love interest or villain. But the two share a common sentiment. This prince, alike Tao Hua, is also fucking miserable. But arguably worse! And instead of coping like a normal fucking person, he does the opposite. He doesn't escape. He doesn't cope. He just tries to fight against the already fated truth of his demise. 0/10, worst prince ever written. Misery aside, this fateful encounter will force Tao Hua to make a choice, leaving him with only one question: "What was one mean-spirited beast to a town of people who despise a beauty's entire existence?" ──── ୨୧ ──── Beauty and the Thief is a slow-burn, stop to smell the roses, type of novel. That being said, the roses are beautiful, and upon closer observation they’re less floral than once thought. It follows the POV of Tao Hua, as he tries to navigate his new life in a place that actually values him, and the prince of this story’s mood swings. ──── ୨୧ ──── !!!!Disclaimer!!!! EXTREMELY SLOW PACED! This story borrows the premise of Beauty and the Beast, by Jeanne-Marie Le Prince de Beaumont, relying heavily on the trope while also twisting it to smithereens. The beast element is exchanged for a power dynamic, and the curse differs from the original story. The narration borders on sarcastic and self-aware, while also targeting deeper topics. It often breaks the fourth wall as a stylistic choice. A lot of the work will be edited over time, but the bones will remain the same.
