Summary
For a second, Katara is helpless. No bending, no running, not when she’s trying to pull air into her lungs, feeling the world spin nauseatingly around her.
That’s all Zuko needs.
He pins her with a truly insulting ease, grabbing her wrists to hold both down, and she is well and truly caught. She glares up at him – he is soaked from the water she has been throwing at him, but his golden eyes are glaring right back at her, and there’s that sneering curl to his lip that makes her want to dump half the ocean on his head.
He leans down and she can feel the heat of his breath in her ear.
“Leaving so soon?” he hisses.
***
OR: Zuko captures Katara, and imprisons her on his ship to use as bait to try to capture Aang.
No plan truly survives contact with the enemy. And this plan… goes absolutely sideways.

Summary
“Just run, Katara! We’ll meet you in Ba Sing Se!”
Katara had never left Sokka before, had never imagined having to separate herself from Aang or Toph — but, on the other hand, she had also never planned to get eaten by a sea serpent at the ripe old age of nineteen, so she ignored the agony in her leg, turned her back on the others, and ran as fast as she could.
It was just temporary, she reminded herself. She would get to the city just a few days after them, tops.
***
OR: Katara is separated from the group at the Serpent’s Pass, and runs into unexpected frenemies on the road to Ba Sing Se.

Summary
Zuko gets sick after the rescue mission on the Boiling Rock. As the resident healer, Katara has to take care of him.
Moonlight draped over him in a gauzy blanket, painting him in a hazy silver that softened his edges. She gently brushed the hair that had fallen over his face, her touch feather-light, mindful of the scar of which he was surely dreaming. Katara had never seen him like this — so defenseless, so vulnerable. She had a suspicion that this was a side of Zuko no one ever saw, and it unnerved her.
After leaving Yon Rah crying in the mud, Katara, Zuko and Appa take shelter in a cave from the storm.
The cold had sunk deep, past skin and marrow, settling somewhere close to her heart. What terrified her most wasn’t the cold — it was the certainty that it would never leave, she would have to live with it forever.
The next thing she knew was Zuko’s face hovering over her, close enough to eclipse the world, his palms burning against her cheeks. The air was thick with him - jasmine and lavender and smoke — and she drew it in. With each inhale, the fog thinned, her heartbeat steadied, her vision sharpening breath by breath.- Language:

Summary
As a prince and then a king, there have been certain expectations of Arthur. A king is expected to be a leader, to be experienced, both on the battlefield and in the bedroom. As Arthur has grown from a prince into a king, he has done what his knights, his soldiers, even the other nobles expect of him. But he has never truly enjoyed it.
When Arthur lets it slip to Merlin that he doesn’t actually believe most sexual acts to be enjoyable, Merlin takes it upon himself to prove Arthur wrong. What follows for Arthur is the realisation that he is in fact attracted to men, sex in fact can be good and he does in fact have a submissive side.

Summary
“I demand that Gaius take over your role involving my care immediately.”
Merlin gave Arthur a blank stare. “Gaius has better things to do.”
Arthur spluttered, guffawed, mouth open in shock, then replied unintelligibly, “You are the worst physician I’ve ever met.”
-
Prince Arthur gets severely injured, and unfortunately, Merlin has just signed up to be Gaius' apprentice.
