   Summary

   She closes her eyes and leans her head back with a soft thump. If Toph or Sokka had figured out what she was reading… a shiver runs down her spine. In truth, she's not even sure what she's reading. She'd spotted the incriminating object while at the market this morning and curiosity had won over.

   She'd almost put the cursed thing down immediately after reading the first sentence. Katara is no stranger to reading romance, but to be reading about someone who is supposed to be her, who bears her name and her features, who says and does things that Katara has never said or done, and with Zuko of all people? It is so strange.

   But also… weirdly thrilling?

   Or, Katara discovers fanfiction. And smut.
