"Why haven’t you eaten yet? It’s going to get cold."
"Oh," Katara felt a shy, helpless smile pull at her lips. "I was waiting for you."---
OR Katara learns that forgiving the exiled prince wasn't the hard part. Falling helplessly into his orbit, and being completely unable to stop it, is proving to be entirely out of her control.

Summary
“What were you saying?”
His golden eyes are warm and open, inviting her to be honest. To lay it all out, here and now, confess the feelings that have been swirling in her head for the last few days (or weeks, if she’s being honest).
'I never got the chance to thank you for saving my life. Nobody’s ever jumped in front of lightning for me before. You could’ve died, and it made me realize just how much I care about you. The world needs you, I know, but so do I.'
Instead, she buries those words and finds other ones. Easier ones.
(or, it takes Katara 6 years to be honest with Zuko.)

In which Ladybug is somewhat too sick to be helping out at an akuma attack, Chat Noir is somewhat too chivalrous for his own good, and the dots are connected somewhat faster than Tikki or Plagg thought they would be.
Written for the Blood Drive!

Summary
“Katara…” Toph murmured, with barely concealed euphoria. “You should sleep with Zuko!”
The sentence did not work itself out in any way that made a lick of sense.
“What?”
“Yes!” Toph clapped. “You both sorely need it! And you know him! And you’re both single. Single, miserable and unfucked.”
Suki spat her tea on the table and hurried to dry it with a tissue.Bookmarked by Gerstein03

Zutara realizes they’re both single at the same time for the first timeKatara takes out a chip for herself. She brings her chip between the two of them as if it were a wine class, and Zuko follows, ‘clinking’ the two chips together. “So how’s Mai?” Katara asks as she takes a bite and-

Summary
“That’s not for you to decide!” Chat Noir blurted before more could be said. He stood up. “I got everything I needed”
He extended his baton, jumped across the rooftop, leaving Ladybug sitting there. She didn’t even try to go after him, there was no point. She sat there, watching as he got further and further. Tears escaped her eyes, they wouldn’t stop. She sat there stunned, burying her head in her knees.
Ladybug was going to tell him, she wanted him to know. She just didn’t know when, or how.Some lies protect people, some lies destroy them.
(Basically had enough of waiting for season 6 to progress, rewrite/continuation of the ending of sadnansi, the future unfolds from there!)

Summary
In the first year of his banishment, Zuko overhears a fragment of his uncle’s words and mistakes pity for betrayal. Determined to chase a possible lead on the Avatar alone, he leaves his ship behind and disappears into the Southern sea.
He never reaches his destination.
Instead, wounded and half-frozen, he is found by the warriors of the Southern Water Tribe and brought into a village that has every reason to fear him.
There, Zuko is no longer a prince. He is a nameless boy with one golden eye, too dangerous to trust and too young to abandon.
And Katara, the chief’s daughter, is the one person he is forbidden to want.
But some bonds begin before names, before truth, before either of them understands what they are reaching for.Bookmarked by Gerstein03

Summary
“Why are you looking for medicine in the middle of the night?” Katara seeks out Zuko’s face again, but it’s simply a vague outline in the dark. There’s no reply. She forges ahead, regardless, genuine worry mounting.
“Zuko, what’s-” She’s cut off by a sound halfway between a sob and a frustrated snarl. Katara wastes no more time, striding straight up to the shadowy figure and groping for his arm in the dark.
“Zuko, give me a light, now.”
“Katara, just go.”
“Now.” Throughout this unexpected encounter, Katara has been whispering, but now she injects command into her voice. The single word brokers no argument, and Zuko doesn’t give her one.

Summary
Katara has spent four years learning to read Zuko: the real smile versus the diplomatic one, what his silences mean, the exact weight of the things he doesn't say. She is very good at it. Katara is, somehow, completely unable to read what that says about her. Neither can Zuko. It takes a Fire Nation noble, a Water Tribe ambassador, and Toph's complete lack of patience to finally make them look.

Summary
Katara overshares on the internet. Zuko makes it a point to only lurk. Good thing there's nothing tying their online adventures to their real lives—right?
Or, Katara and Zuko have something of a history, and when they reconnect after months of silence, there could be more going on behind the scenes than they realize.

Summary
Emma discovers that Rumple doesn’t have an apartment number for Baelfire before they leave Storybrooke, and grills him for a little more information. He shows her that drawing of Bae that Belle saw in the Dark Castle.
Emma had her phone out, thumbing through screens. Where was that app? “Lemme get a copy of this aged, okay?” She offered him a half-smile. “We used to have to wait days for this. Now….”
She gasped. Her stomach lurched. “No.”

Summary
Zuko has not known real peace since the day he faced his sister in the Last Agni Kai many years ago.
No matter how many times he tried to bury them, his feelings for a particular waterbender refused to fade. At every shared meal with the Gaang, every sparring match in a courtyard, and every visit to the Fire Palace, he found himself hoping, just once, that her eyes would meet his and reignite the spark that had flared the moment he took Azula's lightning for her... but they never did.
Her gaze always found Aang's instead. And, as time went on, Zuko taught himself to look away — for their sake, and for the fragile balance of their friendship. The Avatar and the healer, bound together as if by fate.
But when Katara comes to the Fire Nation during a quiet break from Aang, the Fire Lord begins to notice something he hadn't allowed himself to see before. Whenever he looked away...
She always looked back.

Summary
The Avatar's sole duty is to the world.
This is a prequel to a Zutara fic: It discusses the ramifications of Aang not killing Ozai, the beginning of Zuko's reign, and what Katara/Sokka/Suki/Toph have been up to in the years since.
I do not include anything from LOK (or the comics), anything that is matching is coincidental.
