But The Horror Was For Love

@zutaraweek day 6: courtING

inspired by delicate by @jasmine-tea-latte, that they wrote for Zutara Week 2022.

been keeping up with Zutara Week since my DeviantArt days, and i'm so glad to have time to do something for 2026, with my art much improved from previous submissions when i was a teenager....

i was reading and i got OBSESSED with this fic, it's the only thing that i've been doing all week long. and for some reason, while the fic has ATLA clothing, i was picturing Katara and the Earth Kingdom wearing Bridgerton inspired regency-era gowns, while i got obsessed with the idea of imagining Zuko and the fire nation wearing Hungarian military gala regalia, inspired by Count Adràssy specifically in the Romy Schneider's Sissi movies. i want to do so many more drawings of Zuko in Hungarian regalia... i just think it fits so much.

to my dearest gentle JasmineTeaLatte, your fanfic has brought me a great amount of joy, anger, kicking feet, and giggles. i'm truly entranced by your writing and your Bridgerton/Pride and Prejudice inspired plot. and i was absolutely thrilled by your inclusion of a quote from Pride, Prejudice and Zombies, one of my favorite movies. this fanfic has brought me back my love for Zutara, historical AUs, and romance. thank you greatly for this fanfic. hope you like my interpretation of it :)
