Summary
This is a love story that was never shown. But perhaps, it was always there.
Katara and Zuko were not together in canon. And yet—between the lines, in glances, in silences, in every unspoken choice—this story quietly waited.
This fanfiction is an attempt to weave their love into the very fabric of the canon. Without changing events, but revealing what may have always happened out of sight.
There are no invented twists here—everything could have happened just like this. And perhaps… it did.This story begins at the summit in 105 AG and weaves itself through the pages of canonical history, shedding light on many hidden moments.
Our heroes go through the stages of love, heartbreaking choices, loss, parenthood, and ultimately, the life they chose for themselvesSeries

Summary
Katara unstopped the bottle with her thumb. The spirit water answered her call so eagerly. It wanted to heal Zuko, it knew this was right.
She tried to coat her hand with it, but the water coalesced into a shimmering disk beneath her fingertips. Brilliant, pure, glimmering. She pressed it against Zuko’s cheek, glowing bright before it disappeared into his skin. A moment; another.
And the scar remained.
~ ~ ~
Katara could have brought Aang back, but she’d poured her only miracle into an unforgiving scar. Lost forever, the way the world would be now.

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.
