Summary
“Roads were made for journeys, not destinations.” ― Confucius
One moment changes the course of history. Katara and Zuko are imprisoned by the Fire Nation Army during the Day of Black Sun, and when they escape, they find themselves adrift in the Fire Nation with no one to rely on but each other. With only six weeks before Sozin’s Comet arrives and four nations to cross, the pair must track down Katara’s allies, save the world—and learn to trust each other.
Canon divergent from Part 2 of 'Day of Black Sun.'

Summary
Chief Hakoda and his men are out on patrol when they encounter a surprise: an injured boy alone on the ice.
Hakoda brings him back to the South Pole, but keeping this boy alive may be dangerous in ways Hakoda had not anticipated...
A canon-divergent story where Zuko comes of age with the Southern Water Tribe with his only two friends in the world: Sokka and Katara.

Summary
Zuko goes into exile with a scar, a mission, and a wife.
The girl wears ill fitted ceremonial silks. She is too thin, with jutting bones and hollowed eyes. Dirt smudges her cheek. Her lower lip has a healing split in it. Gaudy as her finery is, she wears it like prisoner’s rags.
All of this Zuko registers in the time it takes him to reach the dais and bow. Every muscle aches with the remembrance of what happened the last time he knelt before Father. This time there is no begging, no roar of the crowd, no burning. Still—Zuko’s grateful to stand once more.
Slipping into soldier’s parade rest, he waits for what will come next, all too aware of the girl’s defiant body next to his.
“I am told that this is Katara of the Southern Water Tribe,” Father says, cruel amusement oiling his words. The phrasing makes the girl sound like a thing. “The last waterbender of their pathetic tribe.” Flames conceal all but his shadow, yet Zuko knows from long experience the exacting blade of his father’s smirk. The smirk he must surely wear now. Because he has built up his insult and now he lets it fall. “Your bride.”

Summary
Zuko’s face is perfect for him, all sharp angles and planed skin, and it’s almost vicious in its beauty, almost too pretty and angular, and she wonders if she were to trail her fingers along the edge of his jaw, would she cut them? If she were to caress his cheek, to press her lips just underneath his eyes, would she hurt herself?
Katara's eyes drift down towards his lips, and sweat beads on them. She’s hypnotized by the way his lips pull and twist along with his face, as the muscles in his jaw clench. His lips look unfairly full, and she wonders what it would be like to press her hands against the blades of his cheekbones and bring his mouth close to hers.
He is a study in contradictory terms, sharp lines and harsh angles that melt into soft skin and gentle touches; and Katara cannot think of a time when she will not be fascinated by him.
or; katara and zuko can't stop noticing each other, at the worst time possible. it's getting to be annoying for the both of them.

Summary
“Don’t play with fire, Katara. Unless you’re prepared to burn.”
The Avatar is dead. Sozin’s Comet ushered the world into a new and dark era, disrupting and upsetting the natural balance of the universe.
For years, all that Katara has known are the four stone-walls of her cold and dark cell. When the Fire Nation passes a new decree that forces prisoners of the war to bear noblemen’s and officers’ children, she’s thrust back into a world she’d long since forsaken.
A world that is on the verge of yet another war.

Summary
Zuko didn’t really know how to be forthcoming with girls. He remembered those suave, confident Fire Nation boys at that party on Ember Island with something akin to despair. Just taking Katara’s hand in his a few days ago had nearly given him a heart attack. He was hopelessly incompetent, awkward and fumbling, paralyzed between action and inaction.
Agonizing over this was objectively stupid. Zuko knew that.
He had bigger problems, after all.
And yet on what could very well be his last night alive, Katara was the only thing in his head.

Summary
Summary: When they were kids, Zuko and Katara didn’t get along that well; now Katara’s back from college, and both of them have a vested and petty interest in showing off the person they’ve managed to become. So when Sokka throws a wild party one night, Zuko and Katara decide to get reacquainted—and this time they get along swimmingly.
~
Katara’s rehearsed this, and she never flubs a performance; so she stands her ground, remaining stock still even as adrenaline courses through her veins and throbs deep in her core. The weed is making everything seem vivid and fascinating, so she can’t stop herself from taking in all the details: the perfectly tailored fit of his jeans, the strategically faded Airborne Toxic Event t-shirt that’s been French tucked oh-so-casually into his waistband, the whimsically striped socks, and the fashionably shaggy hair that falls into his eyes just so, softening the sharper angles of his face. Their gazes meet, and she swallows; his eyes are still as intense as ever, but somehow even more unnerving.
A burst of furious envy erupts inside her. How dare you get this hot, Katara thinks. How utterly fucking dare you.

Summary
“You have to be sure, Katara. The way I feel… if you let me put my hands on you… I want you so much. I’ll consume you.”
Arousal shot through Katara like a lightning-bolt at his words. He felt it too, whatever that charged energy between them was. Even now, it thrashed within her like a wild thing.
Breathlessly, she said, “Touch me, please Zuko.”

Summary
Zuko does not notice when the Water Tribe girl first stirs. She is staring at his face — his scar — but strangely it is only when he faces her head-on that she is afraid.
She is the first person who ever flinches at his right side instead of his left.
He begins his interrogation at once. Uncle has dozed off, thankfully. If he knew she was awake, he would slow things down by offering tea. Still, Zuko is not a total barbarian. He thrusts the lukewarm tea in the girl’s direction. She looks around wildly, no doubt disoriented by her surroundings and Zuko presses his advantage.
“Where is the Avatar?”
A canon-divergent tale: Katara must protect the newly-found Avatar from a Fire Nation Prince, although he is not quite who she expected. But Katara has plenty of secrets of her own...
