Summary
In the balloon, Zuko hadn't let himself think about what would happen if the Avatar's group turned him away, but the cold reality sinks into his bones like the mountain air, and he trembles where he stands. There's nowhere to go and everywhere to go all at once, and he promised them, promised himself, promised Uncle his repentance for Ba Sing Se. He promised to make it up to Katara.
The only question is how he's supposed to do that without teaching the Avatar firebending.
(Or: Winning a war is hard. Atonement is harder).

Summary
It is a truth universally acknowledged that Katara is on her last nerve. When her brother came back into town from years spent abroad, she’d hoped he’d slot back into her life just the same as before.
Instead, he’s brought friends. They’re all snotty and rich, the girls are horrible, and Sokka’s too besotted with Katara’s roommate to realize his new best friend, Zuko, is the most arrogant bastard this side of Ba Sing Se.

Summary
It's a Zutara non-bending Regent Era AU!! Especially for all the people out there who have yet to get over the 2005 Pride and Prejudice movie but also for people who've never seen it and just want a nice Regent Era/ Bridgerton-esque lightweight read.
Katara hates Mr. Lee. The most arrogant, entitled man she has ever met. A man she wouldn't marry even if all the men in the world should suddenly disappear. A sentiment that he shares, Katara knows. He's proved this multiple times with his mean words and actions, but then why does he keep looking at her, and she at him?

Summary
“You want Katara to cut your hair.”
Chin up and proud, he does not run away from the truth of his intentions.
or, in the Fire Nation, hair is holy, a gift from Agni and only specific people such as your parents, yourself and your significant other have the honour to cut it; sometimes, significant other means a girl from faraway lands trapped in ice that has no idea of the importance of your innocent-sounding request. And she will never know, it is a secret between Zuko and the sun.
or or, “Wow, Zuko… I was joking about the self-loathing but— I hope Twinkletoes beats your father to a pulp. If he doesn’t, I will.”

Summary
Zuko took his cue to get off stage, slumping into the seat next to where he had dumped his stuff earlier, but not before searching for Katara in the crowd, his eyes widening slightly before immediately darting away when he noticed she was already looking – glaring – at him.
Katara didn’t know what that interaction was all about, but she was certain about one thing:
There was no way Zuko would be cast as Flynn. Not a chance.
Right?
*
When Katara's academic rival and mortal enemy Zuko decides to audition for her drama club's production of Tangled, Katara is determined to ensure he's not there to play games. She wants her production to be absolutely perfect, and if that means spending every last minute of rehearsal time - and then some - with Zuko, then so be it. She hardly anticipated the pesky sprouting feelings of curiosity and maybe even something a little more.

Haunted by her confrontation with Yon Rha, recalling the trauma she felt when her mother was killed, Katara struggles to bend. She tries to remember how to soothe herself. Little did she know, Zuko tries to help.

Envy is the Enemy of Honor by drakonium (drakonic)

Summary
He was almost sure he was in love with her. Near certain, in fact. But love wouldn’t bring his honor back. It wouldn’t free him from his exile. It wouldn’t allow him to go home.
Odd that he feels the biggest mistake of his life isn’t what earned him his banishment, but betraying a waterbender. An enemy.
Stranger still that the most overwhelming urge is to fix how he wronged her than to perform his duty as the crown prince of the Fire Nation.
