Gilded Chains and Metal Blood by BroadwayBalogna
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender (Cartoon 2005)

Summary
Katara never really cared for the stories, but now, holding the Avatar’s heart in her hand, soaking herself in his blood, she wonders if anyone would notice if she made a few amendments.
First: The avatar is dead
Second: No one can save you
Alternatively: A role reversal AU wherein Katara and Sokka replace Zuko and Azula, respectively. A few changes are made, however. The largest being that the Avatar is dead. The next is that soon, all benders will meet the same fate, including the very one that killed him.
No matter what the people may think, no matter what the history books might say, they will never know that in these fleeting moments, she felt weak.

Summary
The tattoo on his back fluttered and rippled with the movement of his muscles. A reminder.
Yet another symbolic mark branded on his skin.
One for his banishment. One for his enslavement.

So strange that the more they dig for answers, the more unsettling the truth becomes.

Summary
Zuko had known for some time now. The feelings had crept up on him slowly, quietly, over the past few months. They were undeniable. He had tried to ignore them, bury them deep within, but they only seemed to grow stronger. She was everything—strong, compassionate, beautiful—and he couldn’t stop thinking about her. But Katara was the Avatar’s girl, and he was the Fire Lord. There was no place for someone like him in her world, no room for his feelings. He told himself it was foolish to hope.
Yet, just when he thought he had it all figured out, Katara made a choice that no one, least of all Zuko, saw coming. Her decision would change everything, pushing them both to face what had been simmering between them for far too long.

Summary
When water and fire clash unexpectedly in Ba Sing Se, their paths become forever tightly intertwined. A mixture of sinister plans, uncertain feelings, and betrayal sends everyone on a new journey.
"There was that look again, the one he’d made when he said he was tired of tea. Katara had thought of that moment often, to turn over and examine like a riddle in need of solving. A touch of sadness reached his eyes and it made her soften her approach. Truly looking at him, she saw beyond the usual scowl he refused to let rest. Katara saw the hollow of his cheeks from being refugees with not having enough to eat; that his hair was longer, curling at the ends and in need of a trim. In that moment, he truly looked like nothing more than a teenage boy."

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.

Summary
Air. Water. Earth. Fire.
Only the Avatar can master all four elements.
But with the Fire Nation's brutal attack on the three other peoples of the world, the cycle returns once more to the element of Fire.
Knowing the plan devised by his cruel father and brother -- the plan to end the era of the Avatar once and for all -- the Dragon of the West turns to the pregnant Lady Ursa and helps her protect her child from the evil that awaits the nation.
Years later, their worst fears, and greatest hopes, are confirmed:
The Avatar did survive the darkest days. And as a prince, he's right under the nose of the Fire Lord. Still, Iroh believes that Zuko can save the world.

Summary
"You’re super early," Sokka said. "The only person who arrived before you is Zuko.”
“Who’s Zuko?” Katara asked, and jumped nearly a foot when she realized they were not alone. A slim but muscled figure stood in the corner of the living room, in front of a stack of boxes all labeled "Nerf Weaponry."
He looked around Sokka’s age, or perhaps a few years older. His face was…
Horribly scarred. Katara’s heart clutched at the injured flesh around his left eye. But it was also…
Beautiful. There was no other word to sum up the angles and lines of his face.

He stayed for Will and for the ever lingering hope that one day he would find her again. Just as he is starting to make a life for himself, Eleven comes home. Older now, too, and scared.

Summary
A Zutara Titanic AU where Katara is Jack and Zuko is Rose. Several creative liberties were taken, of course. I wrote a beautiful summary for this work but it’s above the max character count, and I couldn’t bear to trim it down, so I’ll put it in the notes.
