Summary
There are risks. Practical risks, like flammable items becoming damaged or their literal treehouse burning down. And indirect risks, like what if they’re wrong about him being a nobody? What if the little kidnappee is important enough for someone to go looking for him? It’s one thing to weigh the life of a firebender. It’s another thing entirely to consider risking the lives of your team for the bender in question. If taking a risk for a stranger, much less a fire stranger is what does them in in the end, Jet will never forgive himself.

Summary
“I’d hate being kept from the sun.” Zuko reaches over her shoulder so his pale hand glows. Moonlight bathes her in silver, cloaking her like a second skin of crushed diamonds. Men of the Fire Nation burn the air around them. Women shimmer like a hot summer day.
He’s never seen anyone sparkle.
“I… I shouldn’t have stolen the moon from you. Tui’s waiting.”
She breathes in. “It’s impossible to steal the moon. But you did steal me.”

My take on the series if Zutara were the series endgame. Feat. canon-divergences, aged-up characters, mature themes, pining and Two Idiots in Love.

Summary
Fate turns a little differently, and Zuko ends up being raised far away from the royal palace- and with dragons. But no matter how things change, one thing remains the same- that it's his destiny to teach the Avatar firebending, and to fight against the Fire Lord. That's the easy part. The hard part? Literally everything else.

Summary
Sokka's instincts had screamed at him ever since Jet showed his smarmy, smug, wheat chewing face, but without evidence he couldn't convince Katara and Aang to listen to him. Honestly, as time went on and he couldn't find anything to support his unease he started to doubt it himself.
Then Jet let him in on the Freedom Fighter's biggest secret.
Sokka should have known better than to ignore his instincts.

He’d been pacing across the deck, considering in which direction to search next, when a great beam of light suddenly shot up into the sky far ahead; a beacon, a herald, a return. Surely, such a powerful thing could only come from one source, one which had to be-

Summary
Katara had been so sure of her plan to liberate the prison rig. How was she to know how efficiently the guards would respond to an uprising? Zuko had been positive that his best course of action was to travel separate from his Uncle. What else was he supposed to do when he came across a person from his past? Sometimes, through all the doubt, two people collide. Eventual Zutara.
This is both a Canon Related and Canon Divergent, reimagined ATLA story. Katara joins Zuko in his journey of self-discovery across the Earth Kingdom as personalities clash and beliefs are questioned. Familiar allies and enemies await them along the way.
Ripple effects of having Katara absent from the majority of 'Book 1: Water,' are seen once Katara and Zuko meet up with the Gaang later on in the story. 'Book 1: Water' occurs mainly in the flashbacks of this story as Chapter 1 picks up close to the start of 'Book 2: Earth.'
The most recent chapters explore the aftermath of the conclusion of the Hundred Year War.

Summary
A brutal counteroffensive on the Day of Black Sun alters the trajectories of Zuko and Katara's fates, changing their lives forever.
This work delves deeply into the world of Avatar, staying true to much of the source inspiration while taking liberties so as to age it up and break down so many of those amazing themes and questions brought up in the show. Specific focus on trauma, guilt, and PTSD; on the moral gray area that war creates and the inevitability of having to do the hard thing over the right thing. Early chapters set the framework, but later chapters are some of my best writing.
Sprawling, long-form character study (mainly 3rd person, with 1st person flashbacks).
Rated M (read tags). Ignore AO3—work first published in August 2022.

Or: With vital information to be had from inside the Fire Nation, a reformed Zuko still joins Azula at the crossroads — this time as a spy.
This pisses Jet off a lot.Sequel to "flame to a vapor".

Summary
“You think I’d get away with that in house?” Zuko bites down his frustration. Agni, he really can’t do anything nice for her. Yes, it’s back-ended by motive, but she doesn’t know that.
Then, to his utter shock, Katara laughs. Soft, restrained. So like all those times he’d say something that amused her on his ship. “You still haven’t learned to smile when you do that.”
He’s spent months living off the memory of her smile, turning away like it was the suns glare and he only deserved to be burned. Now he stares at it, lungs shriveling the longer he forgets to breath. Wasn't he supposed to be doing something? He can’t remember. Can’t remember his own name, let alone pay attention to a nagging voice that sounds a lot like Azula’s. Not with Katara’s laugh still ringing in his ears.
~ ~ ~
What is Katara supposed to do when she receives a secret note from Ba Sing Se's masked vigilante pointing her towards Pao's Family Teashop and the Fire Nation's most wanted fugitives are bussing tables and serving tea?My continued take on the series if Zutara were the series endgame. Feat Book Two canon-divergences, aged-up characters, secret plots, mature themes, pining, and Two Idiots in Love.
