Summary
Healing a broken world is much like healing a broken heart. Maybe the pieces will never quite fit back together perfectly or a few go missing along the way. But what fills in the gaps can bloom into something you never dreamed possible.
Life and love flow like the ever changing tides.

The Haunting of Haisho Hill by sansonnets

Summary
While seemingly everyone else at the university would be at one of the most beloved dances of the year, Katara was squished in the cramped backseat of a rickety car, speeding to an unknown destination, her brother in the passenger seat and Aang behind the wheel.
“Can you please finally tell us where we're going?” Sokka said.
“It’s a surprise,” Aang said. “I’ll tell you after we pick up Zuko.”
Katara had been staring out the window and half-present, but now her head snapped toward the front seat, listening attentively.

Summary
Determined to revive the Southern style of waterbending, Katara travels to the Caldera at Zuko’s invitation to search for information on the Southern Water Tribe in the extensive Royal Library. There she finds a dangerous tangle of political intrigue and civil unrest – and at the heart of it all, a silent stranger in a Water Tribe mask.
(Or, no one ever told Katara that Zuko was the Blue Spirit.)
A Bluetara fic, using the Zutara Week 2020 prompts (for structure, such as it is). Likely going to be around 10 chapters but that is a rough guess.
Title from "Far Between" by the Jivin' Scientists.

Summary
When the next letter arrived, Zuko let it sit on his desk for a whole day before opening it, as if somehow Sokka would sense, a continent away, that he was still pretty pissed about Sokka trying to rope Iroh into this whole festival visit insanity. Finally, his point proven to literally no one except himself, Zuko waited until after a long bending practice, then a full bath, before he casually picked up the letter and broke the seal.
**
OR:
Zuko has been Fire Lord for six years when Sokka starts trying to convince him to attend the Spring Gift festival at Wolf Cove, and Sokka isn’t taking no for an answer.

Summary
For a second, Katara is helpless. No bending, no running, not when she’s trying to pull air into her lungs, feeling the world spin nauseatingly around her.
That’s all Zuko needs.
He pins her with a truly insulting ease, grabbing her wrists to hold both down, and she is well and truly caught. She glares up at him – he is soaked from the water she has been throwing at him, but his golden eyes are glaring right back at her, and there’s that sneering curl to his lip that makes her want to dump half the ocean on his head.
He leans down and she can feel the heat of his breath in her ear.
“Leaving so soon?” he hisses.
***
OR: Zuko captures Katara, and imprisons her on his ship to use as bait to try to capture Aang.
No plan truly survives contact with the enemy. And this plan… goes absolutely sideways.

Summary
Earth Chakra: Blocked by fear.
Water Chakra: Blocked by guilt.
Fire Chakra: Blocked by shame.
Air Chakra: Blocked by grief.
Sound Chakra: Blocked by lies.
Light Chakra: Blocked by illusions.
Thought Chakra: Blocked by earthly attachements.The teaching of the chakras has been forgotten since the genocide of the air nomads. Until spirit guides urge Fire Prince Zuko to open his own and prevent a tragedy to come. His awakening conscience guides Zuko on a new path along the Avatar. But is it worth it? Or did it only give him so much more to lose?
As it turns out, his guides are not the only ones with their own agenda in the spirit world. And the other travellers would like nothing more than see him fail.______
Since the question has come up so often in the comments, yes, Aang is exactly as he is supposed to be and the reason is not Aang-bashing. Also, there is no definite chapter count because I like the freedom to let the characters explore their challenges and they always take longer than I thought. The plot in itself is set and we are at around two thirds by chapter 30.Bookmarked by kingmaker

Summary
“Okay,” she thought out loud. “Sokka, Ty Lee, and... Zuko.”
“Wait, no!” Katara whined. “I don’t wanna kill any of them!”
“I'm pretty sure you gotta kill me,” Sokka slurred. “The other stuff is gross.”
Katara nodded solemnly. “Yeah, I don’t think I could choose to be around your socks,” she agreed, causing the group to burst into another round of laughter.
“Okay, kill Sokka… marry Zuko... and sleep with Zuko.”
“You said Zuko twice,” Ty Lee told her.
“You’re dead too, I only like Zuko,” Katara teased. Ty Lee raised her glass to her, and giggled as Sokka snorted into his drink. “What?” she asked, looking between her brother and Ty Lee.
“Okay but like, can you even imagine momtara and dadko getting it on? Like, that’s my mom and dad,” Sokka snorted. “Gross!”
The group burst into laughter, as Katara narrowed her eyes.
“What the fuck is dadko?” Zuko asked. Aang turned to him, with the decency to look slightly abashed.
“That’s what we called you at Ember Island.” Aang explained. “Because Katara took over the role of team mom, and you were like our dad.”

Summary
Aang didn't plan to hurt Katara—it just happened. She's already forgiven Zuko, she can forgive the Avatar too. Katara will protect Aang's innocence, even if she needs to hide her scars to do so.
Love is a battlefield, but that just means someone's bound to get hurt.
(It's alright, though—Zuko will help her heal.)
.
Or: Aang's fight with Katara results in an accident more brutal than anything they've faced before. Zuko's there to pick up the pieces.
