Summary
Stuntman Zuko is at his wit's end trying to help the Painted Lady actress, Katara, with her stuntwork during a private session.
Not least because Hollywood's latest obsession seems to have everyone especially the Sozin family (and unknowingly him) wrapped around her little finger.

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.”

Summary
It was a brilliant plan, all things considered.
On paper and in the eyes of the public, they were a charming if oddly mismatched couple who somehow found love despite their differences. A fairy tale come to life, sighed the more romantic members of Ba Sing Se society.
So it was almost a shame that Katara's courtship with Prince Zuko was ultimately nothing more than an act - otherwise, they might have been a perfect match, if not the perfect partners in crime.

Written for Zutara Month 2022 and shamelessly influenced by both Pride and Prejudice and Bridgerton.

Summary
Katara followed him out of suspicion.
It wasn’t that she was curious. It wasn’t that she cared what he did.
Or: Katara still hates Zuko. Really, she does.

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.
