    Summary

    —Uiscefhuaraithe—
    The feel of coldness only water brings

    Katara of the Southern Water Tribe has hands scarred by fire and great talent, though no teacher.
    Zuko is a mute War Child, a herbalist and healer, and the Blue Spirit. He bears the mark of fire, and the scar of the blade that took away his voice.

    The first time they met, the Blue Spirit had just saved her, though not before her hands got burned. The second time they met, his name was Lee, and he was healing her.

    They live in war and they will fight, if not for the world, then for themselves.

    Summary

    "If I don't do this, no one will."

    Katara's lips thinned because she knew he was right, but she would never admit it. It wasn't that Zuko was being reckless – she had seen enough of that from him and his companions over the years to know it was practically a way of life for them. No, what truly irked her was the fact that he hadn't even considered inviting her along.

    'I'll save you from the pirates.'

    "Then I'm coming with you."

    Summary

    Sokka is a man of science, a man of reason. The spirits and their business can be left with his good friend the Avatar, the bridge between worlds. Or his sister, who plays with magic water with him. He’s perfectly happy without thinking about the spirit world, or spirits in general. He’s perfectly happy, (and has his hands full), with just this world alone. He doesn’t have the time to concern himself with spiritual matters while he’s running to the Northern Water Tribe whilst being chased by the downright evil Prince of the Fire Nation.

    So how does all of this seem to go out the window so quickly? How is Sokka suddenly thrown into the spirit world and all of its politics? How is Sokka connected to all this spirit mumbo jumbo? And how come the only other person who can see them is not Aang, not Katara, not anyone spiritually attuned, but the enemy nation incarnate, Prince Zuko?

    And above all, who is Gölet!?

    Summary

    The Avatar couldn't bring himself to kill Ozai during Sozin's Comet. With only vague threats from a re-vanished Avatar to keep the Fire Lord in check, Ozai moves with not-very-subtle political aggression to finish subduing the world. Three years after the comet, a message reaches the Southern Water Tribe. Katara would protect her people at any cost, even if it means coming face-to-face with the Fire Lord himself. Aang had his chance to end the war, now it's Katara's turn to finish what the Fire Nation started.

    Summary

    Life is a series of contradictions.

    Of opposites.

    Light and Dark.

    Push and Pull.

    Order and Chaos.

    Who are you to take the balance, cast it aside, break it, shatter it, and banish it?

    Who are you to play god?

    Who are you to doom us?

     

    Zuko fought against the Gaang when they tried to save Zuko from the blizzard in the North Pole. Finding himself lost in the tundra, Zuko fights with every breath before stumbling into a valley, hosting a massive, gnarled tree of dead roots in the center.

    One month after the failed siege, from the frozen wastelands of the northern tundra, a new Avatar walks free. One who is of the dark rather than the light, of the push rather than the pull.

    An Avatar of Chaos to combat that of Order.

    Who are you, to take our balance and desecrate it?

    A fool, one who has given the keys to their own downfall.

    After all,
    One Who is Blinded by the Light of the Sun, Will be Lost to Wander in the Dark.

    Summary

    Subjectively, he is beautiful and intriguing. With smoldering eyes that pierce everything and everyone he looks at, a practiced posture that looks natural and effortless—lending to his grace whether he’s soundlessly sneaking through Earth Kingdom alleyways or breaking into high-security prisons undetected, and shrouded in mystery, no one has seen him under the mask or heard his voice other than grunts and huffs. He is an enigma, one she wants to solve and understand.

    Objectively, he is breaking the law, and—while at times she is not above doing the same—she has been hired by Earth Kingdom law enforcers to catch the elusive vigilante. So here she was, giving chase to the most wanted vigilante in the country.

    ***

    The Painted Lady is commissioned by the Earth Kingdom to catch the Blue Spirit and bring him to justice for his crimes in Ba Sing Se.

    And Katara was going to do that, but the more time she spends chasing him, the more she realizes Ba Sing Se is not all it was made out to be.

    Summary

    Strange nightmares have been a plague for Katara and Zuko since they were little. However, since their first encounter these dreams have become far more vivid and far too real.

    A take on the Katara and Zuko being reincarnations of the Painted lady and Blue spirit respectively.

    Summary

    Music night washes over Iroh. The crew’s attention on each other means no one notices their allegedly ill prince slipping over the side of the Wani and onto the dock.

    Zuko, as The Blue Spirit, is leaving to meet another White Lotus Bud agent to exchange information on the Earth Armies for similar details on Fire Nation troops.

    The White Lotus Buds are more successful than Iroh expected. Sometimes he thinks the war would end in days if they left the operatives in charge.

    The White Lotus Buds were inspired by Zuko himself. It wasn't difficult to connect The Blue Spirit’s earlier escapades with Zuko. Not once one realized there were connections to make.

    Iroh does not know when the sneaking began, though he has his suspicions. Ten year old princes don’t go missing for days on end easily. And there's the ambiguity surrounding Azulon’s death and Ursa’s sudden flight. When it started doesn’t truly matter when Zuko will not speak of it.

    Shaking off his wandering curiosity, Iroh lets himself be drawn into the singing of an old sea shanty. It helps keep an old man awake, which he will need if he wants to be alert for his nephew’s return later that night.

    Summary

    Katara stares at him for a second, and after he’s finally gathered his bearings, he says, “I’m Aang!” (with all the grace of a drunken trellephant, he might add) and squeezes her hand back and tries not to stare at her tattoos, dots dancing across her eyes and a line down the base of her chin; ohhhhhhh, pretty, he thinks, almost instinctively.

    She teaches him to bend clouds, because his “what do you mean you can’t fly?” is just met with a blank stare and a laugh. She tells him how to dance across the sky, lining the horizon with easy footsteps, skipping through the breezes and when the magic flickers across his palms, fleeting across the nicks on his fingertips it feels like ー like harmony, for some reason.

    No War AU. 13-year-old Aang meets two of the Painted Ladies outside of the Southern Air Temple. They build a magical orchard out of the clouds.

    Written for Kuzotara Week 2024 for the 'childhood friends' prompt!

    Summary

    There’s no conversation about it—there never is with the Blue Spirit—yet they still manage to seamlessly fall into their new routine.

    Fight. Fuck. Repeat.

    And, once the sun returns to the sky, pretend like none of it is happening.

    Summary

    Due to some unexpected spiritual interference, Prince Zuko does not survive his first Agni-Kai with his father. His body is disposed of, and his death is a matter that is forbidden to mention to the general Fire Nation public. Yet, even when you are eaten, you have at least two choices. And if spirits gift you another chance, you would be stupid not to use it.
