SUMMARY:

Katara unstopped the bottle with her thumb. The spirit water answered her call so eagerly. It wanted to heal Zuko, it knew this was right.

She tried to coat her hand with it, but the water coalesced into a shimmering disk beneath her fingertips. Brilliant, pure, glimmering. She pressed it against Zuko’s cheek, glowing bright before it disappeared into his skin. A moment; another.

And the scar remained.

Katara could have brought Aang back, but she’d poured her only miracle into an unforgiving scar. Lost forever, the way the world would be now.

we need to bring back the stockholm syndrome fics fr, i want something spicy & dark for my faves. we're not on fuckin disney channel lmao — & it's sad that the fandom landscape has come to this. fanfiction was always a way for people to work through or enjoy reading things that are dark & ugly & sensual & explore a lot of those lesser talked about things.

i think a lot of people genuinely don't know how to take responsibility for themselves anymore & instead just want what they see to be shaped to their likes, their morals & anything they don't like to simply just disappear when it simply won't work like that.

Well, @mayimorr met me once, and I met her twice. Let me explain.

We talked via fanfiction dot hell PMs after she reviewed some of my SasuSaku fic. I thought she was hilarious and brilliant, and we were becoming friends!

But then my mom died and my life fell apart. I took about a 6-month hiatus from all fandom things and pretty much lived under a rock.

After I came back, I met a lovely person on tumblr whose handle I didn't recognize. She had me laughing all the time and one day I realized that she sounded a *lot* like my friend on FFN whom I'd lost touch with during my hiatus, and she also had some real-life things that lined up too.

I asked "wait are YOU...?"

She thought I knew already, but no, I'd missed the memo.

And that's how I became friends with the same person twice!

RATING: Explicit

SHIP: Katara/Zuko

ARCHIVE WARNING: Underage

SUMMARY: The walls of Ba Sing Se aren't half as high as those around a girl's heart.

Katara never thought she'd lie to her friends or treat a lover coldly. But then, she didn't anticipate Zuko coming to this city of secrets and doing what he does best: turning her life upside down.

At least she doesn't have to worry about this affair lasting long. He may want her—he may even care for her—but not enough to change.

Besides, catching is what Zuko is good at. Keeping, not so much.

CHAPTERS: 20/24
