Life was good for Zuko: the war was over, his friends were safe, & he was Fire Lord. His future was finally hopeful.

But Sozin's Comet is coming & Zuko thinks it's his only way back to his timeline. (Zutara fic)

Katara shouldn't have been rude to her new customer, no matter how busy the coffeeshop or how obnoxiously he ordered his latte. Then she shouldn't have found herself smiling every time he came back. She really shouldn't have started crushing on him. And she really, really, really shouldn't keep pretending she can't speak English.

Katara just wanted to try out the new tea place that her roommate was raving about. She really didn't expect to leave the place with a date. Modern AU. Zutara Month 2020. Day 3: Chance Encounter

Zutara yes, but this is primarily a friendship fic

Katara leaned on the glass counter behind the cash register and looked out across the street at the floral shop. It was great inspiration for most of her own tattoos. She bit her lip as she watched the dark haired florist water the flowers hanging outside the shop.

Zuko and Katara miss a flight. Modern AU

'The Fire Prince is older. You can see it in the calmness of his expression, the relaxed carriage of his shoulders. He is smiling at her. She's never seen the Fire Lord's son smile.' While lost in the Foggy Swamp, searching for her brother and her Avatar, Katara is haunted by visions of the Fire Nation's disgraced prince. Visions of peace after war, visions of honour and secrets...

Katara wondered when she had started giving kisses out as favours, thought that perhaps it had started when she was young, she wondered why this felt different.

A companion to the final season of the show. Each chapter replaces a key scene with Zuko, Mai, Katara and/or Aang and explores what might have been if Mai had a driving force other than Zuko, and the tension between Katara and Zuko was allowed to develop naturally. For anyone who thought the plot was perfect but struggled with character motivations and romance. Zutara.

It was the kind of thing that happened in folktales: a cursed prince, a transformation that could not be broken. Except those princes usually became monstrous-looking creatures who needed true love's kiss to return to normal.

"I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where; I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate that when I fall asleep your eyes close. (-Pablo Neruda)" Zutara (indefinite hiatus, read at own risk)
