Summary
Making choices after the war was supposed to be the easy part. Her future decided and neatly packaged based on what everyone else wanted for her, what she should want, too.
But Katara’s destiny had a funny way of being exactly what she wanted to run from.
(As if anyone needed another Zutara post-finale slow burn after 15 years.)

Summary
Some members of the royal family of the Fire Nation have a unique trait: they have predestined partners.
Legend has it that some are like dragons, direct children of Agni, and those who are so have a partner assigned to them for life, chosen by the god himself. The Crown Prince’s partner is known as the Dragon’s Mate.Prince Zuko has always awaited the arrival of his, but as he nears twenty and realizes that, unlike many of his ancestors, he hasn’t found his, he thinks he never will—until he does, but in the person his father had sent him to capture.
Katara is the daughter of Chief Hakoda, princess of the South Pole—or what remains of it—and as the last hope for forging an alliance against the Fire Nation while the Avatar learns to master the four elements, she agrees to a union with the fallen King Kuei of the Earth Kingdom. But on the journey to her wedding, the Fire Nation intercepts her, and she falls into the hands of the Fire Lord’s sons. Yet something very strange happens to Prince Zuko when he sees her for the first time.

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.

Katara grew up in the Southern Water Tribe under the tutelage of Hama, the only waterbender ever to have escaped Fire Nation captivity. When Zuko arrives at the South Pole, seeking the Avatar, they are more than ready to defend him. Iroh watches as his beloved nephew throws himself at the ice walls again and again in an impossible siege–-and resolves to do anything it takes to save his nephew from himself. With the assistance of the Order of the White Lotus, he deposes his brother on the Day of Black Sun.
A week later, the Southern Water Tribe receives a petition for peace, and a proposal of marriage.
