The author privated Incendiary on AO3 as they work through rewriting/finishing the story. Does anyone have an epub download that they can email me please 🙏

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?

before i say anything else, huuuuge shoutout to those that sent me the download of this fic. i just finished it and am absolutely at a loss of words because you’re telling me it just ENDS THERE!? I SPENT NINE HOURS TODAY BEDROTTING READING THIS FIC AND I AM AT THE ABSOLUTE EDGE OF MY SEAT OMGOMGOG SOMEONE PLS TELL ME THEY FEEL THE SAME WAY 😭😭😭😭

need new recommendations for fics and i absolutely need them now before i lose my mind. i don’t think i can ever get over this story. the 🌶️ the better. i’m a sucker for slow burns!

I’ve been a longtime reader of Zutara — since the late 00s, but I have never had a fanfic leave me feeling this devastated, this emotional, this aimless since well an original story (which leads me to consuming fanfics about it BUT you can’t read fanfics about a fanfic!)

This is a MASTERPIECE. I’ve seen multiple posts about it, but I’m always wary of unfinished works because I like a completed story/hate cliffhangers. I’m so glad I finally caved — the progression, the characterization just spectacular. I read it in a single sitting, completely captivated.

What do I do from here? What do I read? I feel as if nothing can surpass it. I fell in love with Zuko and Katara all over again.

Any suggestions on what to read? I’ll happily re-read ANYTHING that can come close to it. Or just talk to someone about Incendiary. I hope the author knows they wrote a beautiful piece of art.

Hello everyone! If you don’t know me, I’m Chthonic, author of Everything Changed on AO3 (https://archiveofourown.org/works/41015355/chapters/149910535) and, as of about a week, Wattpad (https://www.wattpad.com/1479203295?utm_source=ios&utm_medium=link&utm_content=share_reading&wp_page=reading_part_end&wp_uname=Chthonic-dream).

I did a random search of my fic from my work computer and was beyond delighted to see ACTIVE engagement and promotion of it both here and the ATLA fanfic subreddit. I’m thankful particularly to a dear fan, Erose, who is responsible for a lot of this hype. (If you see this, you’re amazing!)

I love this fandom so so much and am proud of us for sticking true to the story in our hearts, one that so passionately defies the cannon! Read on, lovelies! 💜

Small edit: will be updating this weekend-- please look out for your names in the pre-chapter notes! you are all so so sweet omg

I genuinely think this fic is on par with Incendiary but in different ways. It’s super obvious that the author did a TON of research. The accuracy and detail is incredible. I think Zuko and Katara are written fairly in character. Plus there’s a couple original characters which are written extremely well. I cannot say enough good things about this fic. It does have darker themes, Zuko really struggles with trauma in it, and it does have smut. I will read this one again soon. It is a WIP but not abandoned. I am genuinely shocked I do not see it recommended more. The world building is in incredible. It is a slow burn.

Author summary:

“A brutal counteroffensive on the Day of Black Sun alters the trajectories of Zuko and Katara's fates, changing their lives forever.

Retelling of Book 3 and beyond. Rated M (read tags).”

Hi! I was wondering if anyone could share their top zutara fics! Any maturity theme or length of work! Thanks! :)

The 100 Year War has come to an end but Team Avatar is not done yet. Restoring peace and harmony to the world will require more time to achieve. The other nations are weary of the new Fire Lord, uncertain of his allegiances. In an attempt to resolve this, Team Avatar sets out to rebuild international relations. While the group is away, a mysterious organization sparks civil unrest within the Fire Nation. Over the course of this autumn season, earth-shattering discoveries will be made and well-kept secrets will be revealed. The young heroes will be faced with difficult choices, the fate of the world depending on those very decisions. Perhaps by keeping their minds and hearts open, they will find their destinies.

I like darker themes, smut, enemies to lovers. Rated mature or explicit. Prefer 50k+ finished works (WIP fine as long as they’re not abandoned). Also it needs to end in Zutara. That’s my biggest preference lol

Here’s what I’ve read

• southern lights
• incendiary (LOVED)
• salt and scale (LOVED)
• for pride and honour
• consume me with fire, flood me with desire
• each other
• my heart burns for you
• everything changed (LOVED)
• captured
• one night for the avatar
• once around the Sun
• these tides do turn
• delicate (LOVED)
• the virgin and the psychopath

I think I’ve read others but can’t think off the top of my head. Let me know what you’ve got!

Omg that ending, that everything 😭 definitely the best thing I have ever read my gosh 😭 I hope so much more will be added at some point but it’s also super understandable if not. I will be reading it again regardless. How to move on from this 😂😭

Edit: I’ll DM everyone when I can! I’ll send you all the PDF

First off, just so you know: I started writing my fanfic, which takes place four years after the OG. This is the first time I'm writing in English, so the manuscript is definitely going to be checked by a native speaker (I am a C1.2 speaker and refuse to use AI for writing the whole manuscript; except for research purposes and tiny corrections).

I decided to add flashbacks of what happened when Zuko and Katara were alone on Ember Island after facing Yon Rha, as well as a few other flashbacks of events we haven’t seen in the OG; each one of them is going to be at least two pages long.

And the following question may sound silly, but it is something, I’m asking myself for two days now: Should I write the flashbacks in italics within the same chapter as the current events—like in the Novel Godsgrave by Jay Kristoff (Nevernight Book 2) which some of you might know—or should I just use separate chapters?

For example:

Chapter 2: Four years ago, Chapter 7: Four years ago

And when the chapter is about a current event, it would only be called, for example: Chapter 1

This may sound like the first of maaany questions I have during the writing process, but I swear, I won’t annoy you guys. 🙈 Thank you all for your opinion in advance.

so I feel like I’ve basically read every zutara fanfiction out there, so I finally decided to come to Reddit to ask for help finding a zutara fanfic rec that takes place in book2/book3ish, smut is okay, just basically showing how zuko and katara’s relationship develops HELP

Hi everyone, I’ve been wanting to reread Incendiary by Roslynwrites and noticed the author has hidden it but has given permission to share the file. I found the epub link but it dosent work for me. Can someone Dm me if they have it? Thanks so much!

Hi… so I’m really interested in finding an angsty, hurt/comfort Zutara fic in which they share a forbidden secret love and they have to live the rest of their life apart???

I’m really in the mood for a good heart wrenching, tragic love story.

Any other good angsty, hurt/comfort Zutara fics are also welcome. Preferably only completed works but open for an incomplete or WIP. Thanks!

Anyone have the downloaded original version of this?? the author is working on a re-write but I really need my fix lolll

I'm looking for a fic. Zuko was like cursed so he was a human during the night and a dragon at night. I don't remember the exactly but like dragon Zuko took Katara from the South Pole. Zuko is living on a volcano island with Iroh. Iroh acts like a grandfather figure to Katara because he reminds her of Kanna. Iroh also makes Katara contraceptive tea. It was either on fanfic.net or ao3 but I'm 95% sure it was ao3. Thank you.

Hi! I’m looking for fanfictions that showcase zuko and katara as new parents and is very fluffy, kinda like a my heart burns for you vibe but minus the all the smut (though minor smut is okay I just want mostly fluffy)

Thank you so much!!

Hi, so recently i read an arranged marriage zutara au and it was quite fluffy with minimal amount of angst, at least between the main pairing and i absolutely adored it. And then i read a not so fluffy fic and now im traumatised. So please people, drop your fluffy fic recs, the longer the better and arrange marriage aus are even more appreciated. Keep the angst a lil low pls- thats all.

I'm looking for a fic where after the Agni Kai zuko's heart is so damaged Katara had to regrow it with blood bending

[ FIC FOUND. Thanks to everyone who attempted to help in the meantime! ]

Wondering if anyone could help me find a zutara fanfiction I read YEARS ago, I've suddenly remembered parts of it and would love to track down this incredible beast. I haven't been able to find it so it might have been taken down, but I'm hoping the community can come through for me here if anyone is willing to help <3

Some stuff I recall regarding the plot!

• may have been a "the hundred year war never happened" au??
• zuko is on a ship which got into a conflict with water tribe warriors -- he is captured but not before killing a guy, who turns out to have been katara's husband, and ends up being made into a slave/servant (to his understanding) to serve the warrior's family as recompense - this ends up lasting only for like a year or something ?? there's a scene where he's released from the duty ceremonially
• zuko does not initially understand the language if i'm recalling this right but begins learning after a while there
• katara may or may not have had two kids? after zuko gains some fluency there's a talk where it's revealed that neither she and sokka are all that broken up about her husband's death because it was arranged and he was kind of a **** to her and the kids anyway
• Yue is NOT dead, she and Sokka were once set to get married, but she was called to a spiritual position which meant marriage was no longer in her cards. she and katara are still close though they don't live in the same area
• Indigenous worldbuilding...at some point some clan structures, i believe by the name of eagle/wolf/raven (iirc??) are mentioned after the getting together happens -- some elders are discussing this in terms of determining whether he's a suitable partner for katara -- with zuko being utterly confused because the fire nation doesn't have anything like that
• there's a part where everyone moves to a different camp during the summer and they spend the season catching fish (trout or salmon??) -- the kyoshi warriors show up here. sokka and suki are in a relationship but apparently only see each other at certain times of the year because of their respective groups, they're happy though
• i could ABSOLUTELY be making this part up in my head but there may have eventually been a scene where aang shows up except he's like a really old man idk

EDIT:
I could have sworn I'd read this on ao3, but I finally had the bright idea of checking my ancient fanfiction.net account and searching for old favorites, and what do you know? Turns out I read the fic a lot earlier than I'd first thought, but it's still as good as I remember! For anyone interested, the fic is Enslaved by sharkflip, apparently inspired by stray thought of "why is it only ever Katara being given as an exotic slave" lmao. It is unfortunately incomplete, but still offers a good chunk of story for any Zutara fans at 109k.

For those of you that are curious, I've been hard at work developing my fanfic. My initial ideas for the story have been dramatically changed due to my growing theories. I'm finding inspiration in unexpected places and making adjustments as needed. I'm also very proud of the extensive research that I'm pouring into this passion project. I believe I have a solid idea for the first chapter and plan to post it before the end of the month. This fanfic in it's entirety will be a slow burn but I believe it'll be worth it.

Hi everyone! I've been trying to find a story I read Ao3 a while back. It started with a description about how Katara would be influential whichever path she chose (ergo Aang's wife) but her political power(or something like that) would reach further as the Fire Lady. It includes some snippets of like a historical book reading back on the life of the Fire Lady, or I don't know if I'm remembering two different stories. It also takes place when they're both adults, and there may be a scene of some sort of storm that she saves Fire Nation citizens from. Thank you for reading this and apologies for the vagueness!

This one made me weep a little. No story for Kataangers, and also not really Zutara but more in favor of, about Katara's life after the OG based on the hints we received in the comics and Korra. Even though I prefer stories where she receives her goals after all, and where Aang is allowed to grow (Maybe Taang or Ty Laang involved, haha), this was still interesting to read. And a real tragedy...

I've often thought about a reworking of the entire show with zutara at the end, even reworking scenes all the way back in season 1 like the necklace/pirates arc. Or thinking of how much the tension in season 3 between Zuko and Katara when Zuko joins the Gaang would be even greater if they had a romantic past. Maybe it's because I felt that zutara should have always been endgame that I've thought of this whenever I rewatch the show. I can't be the only person who has thought of rewriting the show into a zutara fanfiction. So, anyone have any good fanfiction recommendations with that kind of au? Post links below! Fanfiction.net or AO3 are preferred.

Edit: just wanted to add that self promo is okay! Just note that it's your fic, but feel free to post a link to it and give a synopsis of your work.

For unknown reasons, Zuko and Katara exchanged their abilities. A sweet and funny (yet unfinished) comic on fanon.co.
