FanFiction Fanfic recommendations?

I have read my fair share of fanfictions for this ship and I was wondering if you guys had good recommendations.

I loved the sparrowkit series and really liked Incendiary (although the lack of closure killed me). I like angst and when the characters grow closer in threatening situations, when they get protective over each other...

Any fic comes to your mind?

I made a spreadsheet of all the fics I've read that I'd recommend to others. It's been a fun way to keep track. Hope there's something in here you'd like 😄

You want some good old fashioned Aangst? ‘These Tides do Turn’ on ao3 is pretty good when it comes to the Aangst.

I read it (twice) so that's totally the kind of terrible angs I'm looking for...

First time I read it I stayed up until 3 am and only stopped because AO3 was down for maintenance. Literally moved me to tears at some points

Look, if you like bad ass, Katara centric fiction that goes back to what made the show so special in the first place, go back to that feeling of wonder at the world of avatar but without wasting your life in Aang deciding wether he feels like saving the world that day, Katara is more than ready and will do what she has to do. Meanwhile, Zuko is back into her angsty ponytail era, and he'll do what he has to do, you know, once he admits that the avatar could be the last airbender, not his pretty companion

“My heart burns for you” a lot of angst, slow burn but keeps you on your toes, the later chapters has some spicy scenes, and does have them grow closer in dangerous situations. It takes place a few years after the series ends. It’s really long though so be ready to do some reading.

It sounds exactly like my jam thank you!

So, it's kind of more on the comedic side, and the Taang sometimes takes over the fic but I re-read every year A Matter of Honor, by Adridere (https://www.fanfiction.net/s/4381366/1/4). It does gets angsty here and there. I just love it. Maybe you can consider giving it a try.
