Summary
After Zuko fails to capture Aang in the Spirit Oasis, he takes the next best thing: Katara. He plans to use her as bait to lure the Avatar, but a raging blizzard forces them to take shelter in an ice cave. They’re alone, freezing, and cut off from the rest of the world.
Polar blizzards can last for days, and survival leaves Katara no room for pride, or distance. Sharing warmth is unavoidable, but what she doesn’t expect is how much she comes to crave it. Katara knows she shouldn’t want this, but that doesn’t stop her. And with every passing night, it becomes harder to pretend she doesn’t ache for him.

Summary
They had no idea when things started changing between them. Maybe it was instantaneous- like lava meeting water, hardening in an instant with a furious hiss of ember and steam.
Or perhaps it was the little things - reading Fire Nation plays by the turtleduck pond as the setting sun painted the water gold, stories and legends traded like treasures beside a crackling fire in the unending night of the South Pole.
Or it was in the whispered tales of mothers and siblings and uncles and gran grans - each shared word a delicate thread pulling them closer and closer.
No matter how one thing was sure- they were no longer strangers, a thorn in each other's paths. Neither friends nor foes, neither warm nor cold but something in between. Somehow, somewhere along the way, in their dreams and only in their dreams, Katara and Zuko found each other.
In other words - Katara and Zuko start meeting each other in their dreams and shenanigans ensue.

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!”

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

Summary
Katara hates Ba Sing Se. She hates the Dai Li and she hates sitting back idly watching the people of the lower ring suffer. After weeks of little progress in finding Appa or contacting the Earth King, Katara decides to take matters into her own hands. Being the Painted Lady offers her a way to offer what little help she can without jeopardising their mission.
But when the Blue Spirit appears, things take an unexpected turn. She takes up arms with the man in the wooden mask, fighting the criminals threatening the peace she was working so hard to foster. There's an undeniable tension that flows between the two of them, and the Painted Lady finds herself drawn to the man with the husky laugh and pale hands.
Katara however, knows better. The Painted Lady might be the one to reap the pleasures of the night, but it would always be Katara who suffered the consequences.

Summary
Haruno Sakura would like the record to show that she never purposefully intended to go back in time, create Konoha herself, and become the Hokage.
Nor did she ever, in a million years, think she would marry Uchiha Madara… but here she was.
In the Warring States Period.
Outside the temple, she built for Kurama.
In a shiromuku next to Madara who looks stupidly handsome in his montsuki with the Uchiha fan on his back surrounded by her Haruno circle of unity.
Hashirama is bawling in a pregnant Mito’s arms, Izuna is teary-eyed, Tobirama looks done with life as he hands him a handkerchief, and down below, the villagers throw petals in the air in celebration.
Kurama, the backstabbing fox, sits atop his shrine altar, in a shrunken form, and looks smug as hell.
How did my life come to this?
Or
Sakura gets sent careening into the Warring States Era due to a Uzushio ruin seal and decides to make it everyone else's problem.
Somehow, along the way, Uchiha Freaking Madara decides he likes the way she shatters the earth with her fist and demands she marry him.

Trouble seems to follow Katara wherever she goes. Maybe she likes trouble. *Maybe you are trouble*, Zuko once told her.
They tell themselves this isn't love, that nothing more can come from two souls bound for different paths. One thing we can be sure of in this story, Zuko and Katara have a hard time keeping promises.

Summary
"Hello and welcome to the Jasmine Dragon. Today's special is—" he cut himself of with a sharp intake of breath, at the same moment that Katara placed the voice and looked up.
'He has hair.' was her first thought. Then the rest of her brain caught up with her and she started to get up, sending Momo scrambling to hide under the table.
Season 2 AU, during "The Guru", messes around with the timeline a bit, and with Upper Ring architecture.

Summary
Katara and Zuko's mission on board The Southern Raiders goes badly wrong, and they are captured and imprisoned in the unforgiving hull of the ship.
Katara now finds herself locked in a small room with a boy that she refuses to trust, and nine years worth of trauma and guilt swimming in her mind. She is resolute in her hostility towards Zuko, but as the horrors of their captivity unfold, an undeniable bond is formed in the quiet moments between their captor's torments.
When they find themselves safely back with their friends on Ember Island, they are both sporting deep scars – old and new, seen and unseen. Katara struggles to reconcile all the pieces of herself and figure out who she truly is. And Zuko continues to battle with his past guilt, and the new guilt that arises from his growing feelings towards Katara.
As their bond deepens – it may be the lifeline they both so desperately need to pull them from the dark waters of their past.
