    Summary

    As he approached, a few things happened at once:

    The Northern Water Tribe ambassador tugged sharply on Katara’s wrist, scowling down at her.

    Katara yanked her wrist free, snarling something under her breath up at her former dance partner.

    And Fire Lord Zuko found a glass of some nondescript party beverage splashed unceremoniously in his face, completely soaking his upper body in the process.

    ~*~*~

    Or, when the new Northern Water Tribe ambassador's flirting with Katara goes too far, Zuko tries to be a gentleman and help. Key word being tries.

    Written belatedly for Zutara Month 2025: Day 10 - Jealousy.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    "And as she guided his head back down so their lips could crash together again, Zuko decided that he was perfectly content being her idiot for the rest of his life, as long as she’d have him."

    Summary

    When Zuko accidentally kidnaps the wrong member of the Gaang, he's surprised how easy it is to forget he's supposed to be hunting them down.
    Katara is pissed off, Zuko just wants to get to Ba Sing Se without getting impaled, and their developing bond is just a side story - until it isn't.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    "She turned to face him, taking his other hand into hers. 'I want you with me, Prince. Always.' Zuko blinked back the tears that came to his eyes. This time, when she stood on tiptoes to kiss him, he didn’t hesitate to kiss her back. They walked back slowly, hand in hand, drinking in the city."

    "Zuko accepted his cup with a grin and a nod of thanks. Katara sat down beside him, her own mug in one hand, and traced the scar across his chest with the other. He covered her hand with his and stared out at the horizon. The light from the distant sunset played across Katara’s face as she fingered the necklace that adorned her throat. Not her mother’s necklace, with the Water Tribes’ insignia carved into the glass pendant, but a new one. Red on one side, blue on the other. Yin and yang. Red and blue. Fire and water. Zuko was home."

    Summary

    Zuko makes an "extra effort" to apologize after Katara threatens his life. Set right after the end of S3E12 The Western Air Temple except they’re 18 and 20 instead of 14 and 16.

    Summaries are hard. It's basically porn.
