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.- Language:

Summary
He opened his mouth to reassure his uncle, to tell him that he’d be able to start running in just as second, just as soon as the world stopped spinning, but instead all he muttered was, “I’m tired.”
When Iroh brushed against the back of Zuko’s head the pain there abruptly muscled to the front of Zuko’s list of issues, and he gave a loud groan. Iroh pulled back quickly, but Zuko could see that his hand was now dripping with blood.
“Then you should rest, Prince Zuko,” Iroh said, his voice calm and controlled, which would’ve been very nice if the lines of concern on his face hadn’t been so obvious. Zuko watched blearily as Iroh began to look sharply around them, apparently assessing something. “A man needs his rest.”
The world started getting hazy again, but the lack of attempted movement was a slight improvement. A series of shouts pulled him back from the creeping numbness, and Zuko forced his eyelids open.
Iroh was waving his arms, signaling to someone. “We surrender!” Iroh bellowed. “I am with the Crown Prince of the Fire Nation, and he needs a doctor!”

OR:
Zuko and Iroh are taken prisoner by the Northern Water Tribe following the battle in Agna Qel’a.

Summary
All Katara wanted, was a nice evening of hanging out with the Aang-less gang—hearing the latest from Suki, joking with Toph, getting mad at Sokka.
But why, oh why, did he have to be there?
Granted Zuko lived here in the quality of Sokka’s roommate, but he could, you know, slink in his den of brooding darkness and let her be? Not that he was contributing much to the discussion, but did he have to take up so much space in that damn armchair, feet planted wide, arms on the armrest, face unreadable?

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.
