Summary
"Things used to be simpler. Worse. But simpler."
***
In the twelve years after Ozai's defeat, much has changed, but not all for the better. After another fight, Katara leaves the Air Temples - no, flees from the Air Temples - to seek refuge in Caldera. She hadn't spoken to Zuko in years, not since the letter, not since Ember Island... Whether she is making a mistake, she does not know.
Not all things have changed for the better. Their group of five has been splintering under the pressure of politics and personal grudges. Their enemies know how to use their disagreements to their advantage... When an unforseen calamity strikes Caldera, and the Fire Nation appears to be on the brink of a civil war, Katara and Zuko have to revisit the last years of their relationship to unravel the mess of guilt, shame, anger, and longing. In the meantime, the web of questions and mysteries thickens, eventually spanning most of the known world... Who is responsible for the attacks? Who is the head of the Dai Li? Who is eyeing the throne?..

Summary
They all look a bit weary, a bit rough around the edges, a bit scared. But every single one of them has a look of determination on their faces, of the grim resolve that they will see this through to the end, no matter the cost. They will either emerge victorious or die fighting.
Anything less would not be fair to the world.
(Then again, why is it on them to save the world from tyranny? On a group of teenagers and barely adults? That isn't fair.
But the world has never cared about fairness. At least not in the last century, and fuck it, someone needed to make a stand rather sooner than later.)

Another smile. Another kiss. And as she lays there, wrapped up in Zuko's warmth, Katara remembers a saying: love is brightest in the dark. And here is the thing - times are dark; they are living through darkness. But she has found her light, and she will not let it go if it's the last thing she does.
—
or: the Water Tribes are hell-bent on revenge. Sokka flees with the Avatar in tow, committing treason. Katara, tasked with hunting her brother down, stands between her tribe and her family.

Summary
“I have an idea. How to solve all of the problems. Mine, yours, all of them!"
“You do?”
“It is a good plan. A very good plan. I will solve all our problems. But…”
“But?”
“You are going to hate it."
“Katara, what is this despicable, all-solving plan of yours?”
“We need to get married.”
Zutara- Fake/arranged marriage AU
When the responsibility of ruling the Fire Nation and filling the void the Avatar left behind almost overwhelms Zuko and Katara, they turn to each other for support and devise a plan to fool the whole world, even if it means lying to everyone, even each other, even themselves.
After all, what is the worst thing that could happen?
