Summary
Katara thinks about soulmates often.
Her Gran-Gran told her the story, once: how soulmates are tethered (she likes that word, tethered – stronger than connected, softer than chained), how young some of them are when they hear the first evidence of that Tether. How soulmates hear each others’ thoughts sometimes, even before they know they’re soulmates, even before they meet. She loves the idea that a little part of her is in someone else’s mind even now.Katara and Zuko through the years, sharing thoughts and finding each other.

Summary
A Soul Mark could be left for any kind of love—familial, friendly, romantic, pure, fantastical. Each color represented a different bond between the people that touched skin-to-skin. The colors stayed the same until the death of that person. Then, the Soul Mark would turn grey.
Katara had never seen someone without Soul Marks.
But Zuko’s skin didn’t have colors—it only had scars.
[Final chapter rating changed to Mature.]

Summary
"Zuko, my sister Katara. Katara, my roommate Zuko."
She blinks, the familiarity of the name hums in her bones as she stares at him. But then, she snaps herself out of her stupor by mentally shaking her head, realising she's been standing there looking like an idiot that Zuko probably thinks she's being weird.
But, he doesn't seem to notice as he blinks at her too.
So, she takes the initiative to offer her hand towards him, letting a smile grace her face. "Nice to meet you."

Summary
When Katara moves in with her brother and his two roommates, everything feels like it’s falling into place. She’s going to be starting at the school of her dreams, and she’s already making friendships that will last for years to come. There’s only one problem: one of her new roommates is maybe the most infuriating person she’s ever met. Zuko makes it clear that he doesn’t want to be her - or anybody’s - friend. But if there’s anything Katara’s good at, it’s not backing down from a challenge.

Summary
Zuko does not notice when the Water Tribe girl first stirs. She is staring at his face — his scar — but strangely it is only when he faces her head-on that she is afraid.
She is the first person who ever flinches at his right side instead of his left.
He begins his interrogation at once. Uncle has dozed off, thankfully. If he knew she was awake, he would slow things down by offering tea. Still, Zuko is not a total barbarian. He thrusts the lukewarm tea in the girl’s direction. She looks around wildly, no doubt disoriented by her surroundings and Zuko presses his advantage.
“Where is the Avatar?”
A canon-divergent tale: Katara must protect the newly-found Avatar from a Fire Nation Prince, although he is not quite who she expected. But Katara has plenty of secrets of her own...

Summary
“I don’t get it,” Toph asks Katara after her fifth rant about the mysterious appearance of Zuko. “Is he hot?”
“Toph!” Katara yelps, scandalized.
“That wasn’t a no.”
Katara storms off in a huff. She’s not going to put up with such undignified behavior.
Okay, fine, so Zuko was hot. Who cares? Not Katara. She certainly didn’t think that the healing cut across his face made him look dashing. That was some romance novel nonsense, and Katara only read those in secret. She certainly would never allow herself to think such things.
High School AU: Katara is a gifted student obsessed with track and field. Then Zuko shows up to mess up all her best-laid plans with his stupid, hot, annoying self.

Summary
‘The Chemistry of Cooking,’ wasn’t exactly rocket science, but it wasn’t going to be a total cake walk, either. Well, except maybe in week 8 — that was when they were supposed to be baking cakes. The instructor tells them to pair up, and the girl in front of him turns around.
Zuko panics. This girl is way prettier than he expected, and now she is smiling at him hopefully.
“Do you have a partner?” she asks.
“No.”
“…Do you want to be partners?”
College AU where Zuko and Katara are chemistry 'lab' partners. Zuko will get more than he bargained for by saying yes.

Visions of peace after war, visions of honour and secrets...

Summary
Two years after the war, Fire Lord Iroh wants Prince Zuko in the Southern Water Tribe for a diplomatic mission. Zuko has plenty of reasons to say no, like the fact that he’s busy enough being a prince of the Fire Nation (and because of her dark hair, her deep blue eyes, her fiery will, her—)
To placate his uncle, he writes a list of reasons it would be good to go. But Zuko knows it’s a futile exercise; there’s nothing that could convince him that visiting the Southern Water Tribe is a good idea…
