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
It’s been hard to think, since Katara showed up without notice yesterday evening with a storm in her eyes, a raised chin daring him to turn her away, and barely anything else.
(Seven years after Sozin's Comet, Zuko and Katara marry. It's a mutually beneficial arrangement and not nearly as romantic as the songs played at their wedding.)

Summary
After the events of the movie, Katara can't forget watching her friends and brother die, even if she was able to bring them back.
Years ago, tired of constantly traveling, Katara chose to stay in Republic City. Now, she asks Aang to stay with her. So he does, for as long as he can. But his duty as the Avatar, and his Air Nomad nature, make it impossible for him to stay in one place for too long.
Aang thought they could make it work.
He didn't realize that every empty night was making Katara wonder what their future would look like: an absent boyfriend becoming an absent husband, an absent husband becoming an absent father.
Then, one day, she leaves.
Or: glimpses of a post-movie Zutara story, told through Aang's eyes.

Summary
Canon divergent AU where Katara doesn’t find Aang until she is 21 years old. Gran Gran forbids her from leaving to search for a master before she is 18. Desperate not to waste the years she’s forced to wait, Katara works to unravel the secrets of waterbending herself.

Takes place just after EIP, S3
"Aang kissed me!" She bursts out.
It suddenly occurs to her that he might not be the best person to talk to about this. Who could she have gone to, though? Aang was part of the problem. Toph would probably cackle and tease; hardly helpful. Sokka - that was out of the question. Suki?
Oh. Right. She should probably have gone to Suki.

Aftershock by Wildfires_and_Whispers
Fandoms: Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender (Movie 2026), Avatar: The Last Airbender (Cartoon 2005)
01 Sep 2026

Summary
After a devastating attack leaves Republic City in ruins, the members of Team Avatar are no longer traveling heroes, they are adults trying to hold a fractured city and their own lives together.
Katara remains on the ground as a council representative, coordinating emergency shelters, clinics, and the slow work of recovery. Aang splits his time between the city and the first generation of Air Acolytes. Toph turns her metalbending into the backbone of reconstruction. Sokka keeps the logistics running while carrying private weight. Zuko navigates the political fallout as Fire Lord, pulled between duty at home and the crisis in the city.
What begins as a story of rebuilding becomes something longer and more complicated: the real cost of victory, the strain of diverging paths, and the quiet ways people lean on each other when the world is still broken. Relationships shift under the weight of responsibility and time. Some grow closer. Some fray. Some change in ways no one expected. And beneath the recovery, the group that caused so much of the destruction, the Denied, has not disappeared.Bookmarked by nouran

Summary
The moment Aang kisses her for the second time without her consent, Katara comes to the conclusion that maybe she should start counting those kisses.
Those kisses that are one big disappointment, kisses that shouldn’t have happened, where someone kissed her, but she wasn’t able to love that person. Kisses she later began to regret, kisses that perhaps shouldn’t have happened.
Or: six kisses in Katara’s life, five that didn’t mean what they should have, and one that finally did.

Summary
Don’t lie, Katara,” Aang looks at her seriously. “Something’s happened. You haven’t exchanged a single word with Zuko the whole trip. That’s not normal.”
Katara looks away from him.
“It’s none of your business, Aang.”
“In a way, it is,” her boyfriend replies. “You’ve been acting strange lately, Katara. You’re not talking to Zuko, he’s not talking to you, as if the last ten years never happened, as if you were strangers. Not to mention that during this trip alone, you’ve kissed me more times than you usually do in a month.”
In which Katara spends far too much time pretending that Zuko doesn't exist because it’s easier than answering the question he left her with in his last letter.
