Summary
“I’d hate being kept from the sun.” Zuko reaches over her shoulder so his pale hand glows. Moonlight bathes her in silver, cloaking her like a second skin of crushed diamonds. Men of the Fire Nation burn the air around them. Women shimmer like a hot summer day.
He’s never seen anyone sparkle.
“I… I shouldn’t have stolen the moon from you. Tui’s waiting.”
She breathes in. “It’s impossible to steal the moon. But you did steal me.”

My take on the series if Zutara were the series endgame. Feat. canon-divergences, aged-up characters, mature themes, pining and Two Idiots in Love.

Summary
Something unknown and unspoken is entombed underneath it all. It’s calling to her, daring her to burrow deeper, enticing her with the temptation to unbury something well-hidden and deeply felt. And Zuko has long been such an enigma, such a beacon in her life that Katara dares, just for one moment, to reach out and touch that unknown emotion, brushing the edges of it with her subconscious.
____
The night after the final Agni Kai sends out shockwaves that ripple into the future and demolish several idealized views of destiny.

Summary
And Zuko thought that if he was the Sun and Katara was the Moon, their daughter would be the Earth; Izumi, a spring that wells up from its very depths and overflows with life, wisdom, happiness, protection, and exceptional beauty that nourishes everything in its path, always safeguarded by warmth and light in an eclipse that will last for centuries.
For the legacy prompt.

Summary
Katara and Zuko are working together to scout out a new location to expand the Southern Water Tribe and it's growing population. The only problem—they can't stand to be in the same vicinity for more than 0.5 seconds.
Mid-Argument in the middle of frozen tundra, a blizzard breaks out, and they manage to get to a cave for safety. They start to warm up to one another, opening up emotionally as long time friends.
Zuko of course, offering to warm up a very cold Katara as well.

Summary
Frank has never been a good sleeper. It's a blessing and a curse in turn, but he's made peace with needing less sleep than anyone he's ever met.
And then he meets Mel King, and she changes that.
(She changes everything.)
OR — Over a series of late night talks, texts, FaceTimes, and maybe dates, Langdon and Mel fall in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.
