Summary
“We’re in the middle of the desert, waterbender. So you might have that barrel, but once it’s gone, what do you have?” Zuko moved forward, into her personal space. She was shorter than him, and he was using his height deliberately to glare down at her, but Katara didn’t back down. He could feel the sun soaking into him – his power was strongest while she was at her weakest, and for a moment he wished she would start something so that he could beat her in a fight. “I can make fire anywhere, and you might get one shot in, but then I am going to make you burn.”
The moment dragged out.
They were glaring.
Still glaring.
This was the point where the girl would usually be flying away on a bison and he’d be covered in perfume or something.
Something shifted in her expression, and Zuko started fully processing what he had just said, and how it could perhaps have been phrased a little—Her voice was completely flat. “Make. Me. Burn.” Her mouth tugged, started widening into a sly smile.
His stomach dropped. Oh no. “I meant it like—“
***
OR:
A good tip about a mountain pass leads Zuko and Iroh to Misty Palms Oasis a week early, and they run straight into some old enemies.

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
"So you're going to stay with him and wait with the hope that one day there will be a magical moment when you'll see him and it will all make sense."
That was probably what she had thought she was going to do, even though she hadn't put it into words, the way Zuko did just now. "What if it does?" Her voice is small.
His isn't. "What if it doesn't?"

Summary
To the victor goes the spoils.
Aang was the real winner. The hero. He'd ended the war. Not alone but he was the Avatar. The bringer of peace. If anyone deserved spoils, it was the charismatic monk.
Not Zuko. No. Never the son of a monster, a boy with a questionable past, the scarred prince. Fire Lord, he reminded himself. The title hardly felt like a victory. It felt like pressure and expectations and stress. Work. Duty. Sacrifice.
Post-canon AU.

Summary
“The Fire Lord proposes a marriage between his son, Crown Prince Zuko, and Princess Katara,” Iroh said, turning to face her.
If she wasn’t already sitting, she would have collapsed given how light headed she was at his words. Her mouth went dry. Her fingers went numb. A marriage? To the Fire Lord’s son?

Summary
This is a love story that was never shown. But perhaps, it was always there.
Katara and Zuko were not together in canon. And yet—between the lines, in glances, in silences, in every unspoken choice—this story quietly waited.
This fanfiction is an attempt to weave their love into the very fabric of the canon. Without changing events, but revealing what may have always happened out of sight.
There are no invented twists here—everything could have happened just like this. And perhaps… it did.This story begins at the summit in 105 AG and weaves itself through the pages of canonical history, shedding light on many hidden moments.
Our heroes go through the stages of love, heartbreaking choices, loss, parenthood, and ultimately, the life they chose for themselvesSeries
