Summary
All Zuko had been trying to do was wash some dishes. Or: The one where Zuko and Katara both mean well, but still can't find their footing around each other in time to prevent explosive shouting, broken dishes, an impromptu arrest, and Team Avatar's third- nay, fourth jailbreak. Fifth? They've lost count at this point, but at least they're not willing to lose Zuko... now, if only he realized that.

Summary
Zuko goes into exile with a scar, a mission, and a wife.
The girl wears ill fitted ceremonial silks. She is too thin, with jutting bones and hollowed eyes. Dirt smudges her cheek. Her lower lip has a healing split in it. Gaudy as her finery is, she wears it like prisoner’s rags.
All of this Zuko registers in the time it takes him to reach the dais and bow. Every muscle aches with the remembrance of what happened the last time he knelt before Father. This time there is no begging, no roar of the crowd, no burning. Still—Zuko’s grateful to stand once more.
Slipping into soldier’s parade rest, he waits for what will come next, all too aware of the girl’s defiant body next to his.
“I am told that this is Katara of the Southern Water Tribe,” Father says, cruel amusement oiling his words. The phrasing makes the girl sound like a thing. “The last waterbender of their pathetic tribe.” Flames conceal all but his shadow, yet Zuko knows from long experience the exacting blade of his father’s smirk. The smirk he must surely wear now. Because he has built up his insult and now he lets it fall. “Your bride.”

Three Nights by quirkybestfriend for zutarafy
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender (Cartoon 2005)
04 Jan 2026
Tags
Summary
Zuko gets sick after the rescue mission on the Boiling Rock. As the resident healer, Katara has to take care of him.
Moonlight draped over him in a gauzy blanket, painting him in a hazy silver that softened his edges. She gently brushed the hair that had fallen over his face, her touch feather-light, mindful of the scar of which he was surely dreaming. Katara had never seen him like this — so defenseless, so vulnerable. She had a suspicion that this was a side of Zuko no one ever saw, and it unnerved her.
After leaving Yon Rah crying in the mud, Katara, Zuko and Appa take shelter in a cave from the storm.
The cold had sunk deep, past skin and marrow, settling somewhere close to her heart. What terrified her most wasn’t the cold — it was the certainty that it would never leave, she would have to live with it forever.
The next thing she knew was Zuko’s face hovering over her, close enough to eclipse the world, his palms burning against her cheeks. The air was thick with him - jasmine and lavender and smoke — and she drew it in. With each inhale, the fog thinned, her heartbeat steadied, her vision sharpening breath by breath. -

Summary
The firehawk landed with the grace of its species, claws pricking Zuko’s arm where it perched, despite the thick fabric of his sleeves.
Maybe, his father had realized Zuko was needed at home and was cutting his search short before it could truly begin, allowing Zuko to return and regain the honor he’d lost in that fateful Agni Kai.
Zuko couldn’t help the hope that welled inside him, as he leaned against the railing and unfurled the scroll with trembling fingers.
It was -
It was a casualty report, with nearly two hundred names listed. Zuko stared down at the page, uncomprehending as he read the artfully penned characters, scanning the paper for something, anything to explain what he was looking at.

Summary
“It hurts, Katara,” he croaked, wincing again.
“Fight it, Zuko,” Katara begged again, letting out a sob. She pressed her forehead to his, rocking back and forth as she cried. “Fight off the light, Zuko, stay with me. Stay with me, Zuko.”
When Zuko didn’t reply, she pressed a kiss to his forehead, feeling how he burned beneath her lips.
“Katara…”
OR: Zuko's dying n Katara's arms, but she's determined not to let that happen.
