Worship the Ashes by meregalaxiesandgods, patentpending

Summary
All Azula wants is for things to go back to the way they were – her father on the precipice of conquering the world, her own position secure at his right hand. Now, the only secure thing is her, trapped in a gilded cage in her brother's new Fire Nation. Lonely and adrift, Azula would do anything to make it end, until an unexpected connection rekindles a light she long-thought had burned to ashes. But falling for Suki isn't something Azula can let herself do, especially with the world as they know it threatening to crumble around them.
Or: Azula goes to therapy, has an identity crisis, stops actively trying to kill her brother, makes a few friends, and falls in love along the way.

Summary
“Bitch. You can say bitch.”
“I’m not going to say that.”
“It’s accurate. And no great betrayal of your deeply held feminist principles if I give you my explicit permission to do it. Really. You can call me a bitch.” She points to herself. “Bitch. It’s easy. You try.”
“No! – I’m not going to call you a bitch, Azula.” She sighs. “It’s almost like you want me to hate you.”
=========
Frustrated with life at the snobby, elite Ba Sing Se Academy she'd won a scholarship to attend, Katara, a fourteen year old would-be revolutionary, begins sneaking out of the upper ring at night to cause trouble. It only gets really dicey when the great-granddaughter of the deposed Fire Lord Sozin, a girl with razor-sharp eyeliner, gets involved.
or: getting caught shoplifting with the girl you hate most in the world can be a very moving experience, actually.

Summary
Ty Lee can see people's auras. Her friend Mai's aura is a motionless grey fog, her sometimes-friend Zuko's aura is a bruised purple-red. And Azula, Azula who she doesn't have words to describe how she feels about, is a shining electric blue.
But she's never been able to see her own.
(elevator pitch: Ty Lee realizes she's lesbiem and also realizes her own worth)

Summary
Grandmother ruled Gir Niajra, and always had.
Jummai felt certain this was so, mostly because it was impossible to imagine otherwise: anyone, anyone at all, seated so comfortably on that great golden throne except Grandmother? Anyone who could look or speak with such authority, to whom so many great and worthy people bowed down? No—only Grandmother. It had always been Grandmother, and it always would be.
Then Grandmother died; and there was a war.
(Or: Jummai is a princess without a throne—but she has no intention of leaving to others what is rightfully hers. She needs a wife with an army, and gets one; but her wife seems impervious to her tactical charm, she keeps making mistakes, and her cousin still wants her dead.)

Summary
“Oh spirits,” Azula says, grinning widely. The Water Tribe is full of idiots. “You don’t want to marry Zuko, he’s useless. Also, he’s already engaged.”
“He is?” Yue blinks at her.
“Of course he is, he’s going to be the Fire Lord, he’s been engaged since he was twelve,” Azula says. A useless Fire Lord who she’s going to have to prop up, if not outright usurp, but Fire Lord all the same.
The things she does for this family, she swears.

Our Monuments Shall Be The Maws of Kites by captainjackspearow

Summary
"'To be honest, I think I ought to be asking you that question.'
Because therein lies the issue. How could she? How could Lysithea stand to sit here, to take tea with the source of every waking horror, every nightmare inflicted upon her? To work with – work for – someone under the thumb of the monsters responsible, who might as well be one of them?
To wake up every morning and stare at the broken phantom of what her aggregated suffering produced?
If she were Lysithea, she’d have taken the dying shot at her in Derdriu."
***
The Agarthans leave a trail of corpses in their wake, leave the shells of the living behind to pick up the pieces of their broken world, and like a twin-headed carrion bird, they needle at both.
Edelgard/Lysithea, enemies to friends to something more. From the experiments, to separate sides of the war, to the same side of what becomes a different one altogether.
A story about grief, acceptance, and about learning to make peace with the living, as you bury the dead.

Edelgard learned young how eager the world was to take things away, to pry them out of her small hands and leave her alone in the dark. She didn’t have claws then, but she would grow them if she had to.
Her first kiss went like this.

Summary
Byleth von Eisner is known throughout Fodlan as the best tutor for the rich and the elite, and her reputation has grown enough that she's been offered the chance to instruct the reclusive and sickly Imperial Princess, Edelgard von Hresvelg.
How will she get along with the mysterious Princess? What ailment has kept her from the public eye for all these years? And is Byleth ready to engage the strange and duplicitous nature of the Adrestian Court?
When Jane Austen wrote Emma, she described it as a book about “a heroine whom no one but myself will much like," and if that bit of trivia interests you, then this is the fic for you!
An alternate setting Edeleth AU for Fire Emblem: Three Houses, set in a Romantic Period Fodlan based loosely on the style and aesthetic of Jane Austen.

see i am not averted to edeleth. when byleth is written as an actual human being and not some weird, unemotional plot point - which sure is rare - i do like the pairing
basically i came for the promise of a jane austen-like FE AU and stayed for a really good byleth portrayal??? in this economy????? couldn't believe my eyes

Summary
"If you met her you would understand. There's no way. She's too obnoxious. It feels like she's always lying even when she's saying easily verifiable facts that I know are true. Rhea could text me “good morning” and I would have to look out the window to check if the sun was out."
or, store manager Edelgard deals with a problem customer and accidentally catches the attention of the most annoying double-texter on the planet.

Summary
In the year 391 V.C., the royal villa of the Lima family, home to Princess Anthiese, her stepmother, and her elder brother, is set aflame in the night. Ten years later, a priestess sets out from Novis Island to locate a missing goddess. And as the gods' hands shape the earth, so too do their people shape their own fates. To fire, a princess is lost. From fire, a queen is reborn...
A rewrite of Celica's route to be more plot-significant, treat its female characters more fairly, and be 100% gayer. Set in the same universe as "From Bruises Flowers Grow," but there's no need to read that in order to understand this.

you know when you finish a book/game and think: "man, wish some plotlines were better handled. and i wish there was more gay". well, this person took matters into their own hands, and the results are MAGNIFICENT
well this is the spirit behind fanfiction, after all. but the way they pratically rewrote the whole game is astounding. i love it

Summary
“They look happy.” Ingrid says, watching the dancers. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen the professor smile like that.”
“I don’t think she ever has smiled like that before.” Dorothea says. And her charm is still easy to summon, and she turns to flash Ingrid with a smile she hopes is convincing. “Are you jealous? After this I have no doubt there would be swarms of eligible bachelors hoping for a chance with you. One of them might even deserve you.”
Ingrid shakes her head. “Don’t tease me. I’m not jealous. I’m just a bit…” Ingrid is still looking out, and the edges of her lips quirk when Byleth misjudges a step and has to be saved by Edelgard. The professor never was a dancer, Dorothea thinks. “I’m not sure how I feel, if I’m honest. But I’m glad they’re happy. Someone has to be.”

The Emperor’s gauntlets are cold, and the edges press into your skin. But you kneel before her like a knight should, and press your lips to the cold.
You do this again, and again, and again. Every time she asks you to. Until it is second nature, until the press of steel against your mouth is like the kiss of a lover.
It stirs something in you just like a lover should.

Summary
What do you do, when you discover the world is not what you thought it was? When your family is not what you thought it was? When you are not what you thought you were? Ingrid had not thought that coming to study at the Officers Academy would ever see her asking herself such questions, but rarely has she ever been provided clear portents of the future.
And another thing: should it be you who is changed, wrought into what the world meant for you to be, or should the world change, instead?
