Summary
"My love for you knows no bounds, no borders, and no trauma. You are the air I breathe, the water I drink. I love you. Sincerely."
Fire Lord Zuko is in trouble.
His nation simmers on the edge of unrest; food shortages are growing, nobles are whispering behind silk fans, and a mysterious resistance group is sending veiled threats. Holding the peace together is like balancing on a tightrope... during a hurricane... while on fire.
Enter his old friend, Ambassador Katara of the Southern Water Tribe, she's fierce, brilliant, and entirely unimpressed by palace politics. She’s here to build bridges, but Zuko can’t stop watching her like she’s the only calm in his storm.
And the worst part?
He’s falling completely, irrevocably, inconveniently in love with her.
As secrets stir and old loyalties are tested, Zuko must decide what he’s willing to risk for his nation, for peace… and for the woman who might burn down his walls and heal what’s beneath.

The nation of fire and absolutely, terrible, horrible, idiotic, wonderful ideas by stellaforastar

Summary
1. Find the Avatar, teach him to Firebend.
2. Convince Chief Hakoda *not* to kill him.
3. Free Uncle from prison? Beg for his forgiveness.
4. Keep his new buddy Sokka from finding out how much Zuko really likes seeing Katara dressed in red, even when she's screaming at him.
5. Prevent the end of the world/Stop the Father- Fire Lord/Restore honour to the Fire Nation.6. Get Katara back.
Zuko's no stranger to unattainable goals, but if his 'so you just defected from the Fire Nation and want to save the world from your Father's reign of terror' (and win back over the love of his life) to-do list gets any longer, he might just collapse.

It's death by a thousand cuts, Katara thinks. Saying goodbye to their old lives, forging ahead with whatever amalgamation of reality once they both fully remember everything, whatever reality that may be. Yet, two tethers between them will remain.
Or,
Five years after Katara and Zuko go missing in Ba Sing Se, Kya and Lee are found living peacefully in the Earth Kingdom countryside.

Summary
She had changed, but not enough to turn her into another person completely. He watched her from behind a screen as she worked to save his young sister. Her breathing was calm, focused as her hands moved feeling for water inside the girl's lungs.
There were some things Zuko was willing to give up to save his people, but not her. Not the one person who could likely save his nation. It was a tragedy that Katara had been hidden away by Aang because of a rumor.
At least she was free now.
All because of a 'Fire Nation problem' that Aang did not want to deal with.

Summary
Part of her wonders if she should thank him—if she could—but when she pulls away from her father and tries to make sense of the tangled words brewing in the back of her throat, Zuko is busy securing the balloon, dragging it off to the side and neatly folding the fabric back into the basket. The deep furrow of his brow and the tense set of his jaw gives her pause. His eyes are stormy and conflicted, so Katara bites her tongue, spins on her heel, and remembers a prince clad in black and red who spits fire and only knows how to take.
Against all odds, in the moments between now and the end, Katara falls for Zuko.
