Summary
Summary: When they were kids, Zuko and Katara didn’t get along that well; now Katara’s back from college, and both of them have a vested and petty interest in showing off the person they’ve managed to become. So when Sokka throws a wild party one night, Zuko and Katara decide to get reacquainted—and this time they get along swimmingly.
~
Katara’s rehearsed this, and she never flubs a performance; so she stands her ground, remaining stock still even as adrenaline courses through her veins and throbs deep in her core. The weed is making everything seem vivid and fascinating, so she can’t stop herself from taking in all the details: the perfectly tailored fit of his jeans, the strategically faded Airborne Toxic Event t-shirt that’s been French tucked oh-so-casually into his waistband, the whimsically striped socks, and the fashionably shaggy hair that falls into his eyes just so, softening the sharper angles of his face. Their gazes meet, and she swallows; his eyes are still as intense as ever, but somehow even more unnerving.
A burst of furious envy erupts inside her. How dare you get this hot, Katara thinks. How utterly fucking dare you.

Summary
Scorned by the same ex, Zuko and Katara enact some satisfying revenge.
~
“So my question—more of an olive branch, really—is this.” She holds up a set of keys.
Zuko cocks his good eyebrow. “...keys?”
“Keys to Jet’s place, more specifically.”
He feels his heart rate increase. “He still has my good cocktail set,” he blurts.
Katara’s smile widens. “Wanna go get it back?”
“Obviously, but why come all the way downtown to ask me?”
She twirls the keys around her finger. “We both know that Jet’s apartment is, like, half the reason we wanted to hang out around him. I live across the hall and I still fell for it.”
Zuko exhales. “It’s so beautiful.”
“And we both know that it’s a den of iniquity and lies, and also happens to be his pride and joy. And I can’t really lie...I kinda want to trash the place.”Bookmarked by polly_whitacker

Summary
Katara has been cruising through her biochemistry degree at Ba Sing Se University, well on her way to medical school, when Organic Chemistry II puts a kink in her plans. The class throws her for a loop, and she spends long hours with the TA, a sweet guy named Haru. Then Haru is out sick, and his inscrutable roommate Zuko fills in for him. Zuko is handsome in a sharp sort of way, if you're into arrogant self-centered assholes, which she's not. Only, he's an excellent teacher, and when he's not being a jerk he is unbearably kind, and he captivates her in a way she can't explain. He throws her for a loop, just like O-Chem, only not like O-Chem at all.

Summary
He hoped it would pass, he prayed, he begged, he got on his knees. But he just couldn’t get her out of his mind, she was always there, creeping in as he gave a sermon, sidling in, half smile on her lips, haunting him as he tried to sleep. All he wanted was peace. All he wanted was for it to pass.
IT DID NOT PASS (for me or him)
Aftermath of S2 E6, told from Priests POV (plus some infrequent Fleabag POV).
