Summary
After the war, Katara loses herself in the rhythms of tribal life. In the South Pole the moon is sovereign. Deep in the ice and snow, and in the heart of her element, it is easy to forget that there is a land of fire, smoke and ash- the kingdom of sun and dragons. Her journey with the Avatar slips into memory: a strange past life, shadowy and ephemeral.
But some things do not stay consigned to twilight, nor to history.
She is 20 years old when she sees him again.

Summary
What if Sokka and Katara never rescued the boy in the iceberg? What if the Avatar was captured by the Fire Nation?
In this canon‑divergent, darker ATLA universe, set six years after the Avatar has been captured by the Fire Nation and 106 years after the Air Nomad genocide, the Fire Nation’s war gains frightening momentum as they prepare for a mighty, final blow. Katara is torn from the South and forced into servitude in the heart of the enemy court, into the direct orbit of Prince Zuko. What begins as a ruthless, captive‑and‑captor dynamic, evolves into a tense intimacy whose shifting loyalties threaten both personal bonds and the balance of the world.
Palace intrigues, betrayals, and true desires are pulled into the light as both Zuko and Katara grow closer and closer to each other. Their precarious connection becomes a dangerous, tender thing that could change the meaning of destiny.
Note: Slow burn, mature romance with explicit content. Expect expansive world-building, familiar faces from ATLA, LOK, the comics, and OCs. Sprawling plot filled with royal palace politics, consequences of trauma/war, and progressive character arcs;chapters with graphic scenes will be labeled with a disclosure warning.

Summary
Zuko has not known real peace since the day he faced his sister in their Agni Kai many years ago. No matter how many times he tried to bury it, his feelings for Katara refused to fade. At every shared meal, every sparring match, every return to the Fire Palace, he found himself hoping — just once — that her eyes would meet his and reignite the spark that had flared the moment he took Azula’s lightning for her... but they never did.
Her gaze always found Aang instead, and, in time, Zuko taught himself to look away — for their sake, for the fragile balance of their friendship. The Avatar and the healer, bound together as if by fate.
But when Katara comes to the Fire Nation during a quiet break from Aang, the Fire Lord begins to notice something he hadn’t allowed himself to see before. Whenever he looked away…
She always looked back.
(Set ~10 years after the War, Post-Canon)

Summary
A brutal counteroffensive on the Day of Black Sun alters the trajectories of Zuko and Katara's fates, changing their lives forever.
Sprawling, long-form character study (mainly 3rd person, with 1st person flashbacks). Early chapters set the framework, but later chapters are some of my best writing.
Rated M (read tags). Work first published August 2022.

Summary
But it wasn’t a monster that came out of the trees. It was a person. A boy.
Mike froze.
Then he was spotted, and the boy stopped in his tracks; with skillful movements, he quickly slung the rifle off his shoulder and pointed it at Mike’s chest. Mike raised his hands while trying to keep most of his weight on his left leg.
“Whoa. Hey,” Mike said, his eyes wide as he stared at the tip of the rifle. “Just hold on. I’m not—I’m not going to hurt you.”
Or: A crawl gone wrong left Mike stranded in the Upside Down. Hurt and alone, Mike stumbles upon someone everyone told him was dead.

Sun of my Days, Moon of my Nights by MintYuriLover for JonnyMarch
Fandoms: Avatar: The Last Airbender (Cartoon 2005)
09 Jun 2026

Summary
In a world still healing from the scars of the Hundred Year War, peace is fragile—and beneath it, tension brews between the nations.
Amidst this Cold War, Fire Lord Zuko rules with a steady hand and heart—devoted to his now-pregnant wife, Mai, and the fragile peace they’ve built. Katara, meanwhile, pours herself into diplomacy and ambition—straining an already fragile relationship with Aang.
However, when a mysterious girl named Izumi arrives claiming to be from the future, all they thought they knew is shattered—especially when she warns of a war in twenty-five years with a supposed "Bloodbending Queen" at its centre.
And, most shockingly, the world reels when Izumi reveals another unexpected truth: in the future, it's not the Avatar who is the leader of the resistance against the Bloodbending Queen...but rather Fire Lord Zuko and Fire Lady Katara, married and united despite all odds.
As tensions mount, Zuko and Katara must confront not only the looming threat but also deeper forces at work: an ancient curse, entangled truths they fear to uncover, and a love powerful enough to rewrite time itself.

Summary
It's been five years since the end of the war, and marriage is the word on everyone's minds. But Katara knows what that really means. First comes marriage, and then children. She has been shackled with the responsibility of carrying on the airbender line before it goes completely extinct--and it's a mantle she has prepared herself well to take on. She loves Aang, and being a crucial part of history together...well, it's something she is honored to do by his side.
That is, until memories and dreams start resurfacing as she barrels towards a future alongside the Avatar. And on the night of her wedding, she finds herself starting to spiral just a little. And only Zuko is there to comfort her.
Meanwhile, the Fire Council has enforced an age-old law upon Zuko: marry by age 21 or forfeit the throne. One too many assassination attempts has them all feeling a bit nervous, and they want to guarantee the royal line. Zuko has resigned himself to a dull, loveless arranged marriage for the good of his nation.
But then he and Katara are brought back together unexpectedly, forced to work alongside one another. And it quickly becomes impossible to forget what happened between them and the secrets they swore to keep.

Summary
This story is an alternate continuation of my completed work We Can’t Choose Us.
Chapters 1–16 are exactly the same as in that version, so if you’ve already read them, you can start right here.
But if you’re new to the story, I recommend starting from the beginning for the full emotional context.
📖 You can read Chapters 1–16 here:
https://archiveofourown.org/works/62580298/chapters/160180546In this version, I changed one decision, and it led to a very different ending.
Because so many of you asked for it. Because so many of you believed they deserved more.Series

Summary
This is a love story that was never shown. But perhaps, it was always there.
Katara and Zuko were not together in canon. And yet—between the lines, in glances, in silences, in every unspoken choice—this story quietly waited.
This fanfiction is an attempt to weave their love into the very fabric of the canon. Without changing events, but revealing what may have always happened out of sight.
There are no invented twists here—everything could have happened just like this. And perhaps… it did.This story begins at the summit in 105 AG and weaves itself through the pages of canonical history, shedding light on many hidden moments.
Our heroes go through the stages of love, heartbreaking choices, loss, parenthood, and ultimately, the life they chose for themselvesSeries

Summary
Will Byers has spent most of his life on the sidelines.
Ever since he and his twin sister, Jane, presented as a rare male omega and female alpha, Will has lived his days inside a carefully crafted glass prison. In search of better medical care and more open-minded values, Joyce and Jim—their mother and stepfather—moved the entire family to Lenora, California.
Without the familiar bounds of Hawkins and the pack he and Jane grew up with, Will has been drifting. Over the years, the distance between him and his old friends has grown wider and wider, as he continues to struggle with his identity in a world that holds a stubborn, one-sided view of omegas.
With that struggle comes an unfortunate reality: even after four long years of dating, Will still can’t stop pining after his sister’s boyfriend—his childhood best friend—Mike Wheeler.
By now, Will should be used to the feeling of being second best. He isn’t.
When his frustration at feeling stuck in one place finally reaches its breaking point, he decides it’s time to give up and move on.In response, something stirs.
Fanfic title inspired by Second Best by The Last Dinner Party.

“I hate you,” Will mutters against Mike’s lips, and feels the way Mike grabs him harder at the words. Mike pulls on Will’s hair, tilting his head back as he bites down and tugs at Will’s lip. A whine finds its way from Will’s throat and Mike’s teeth release him, holding their faces close. Will blinks his eyes open, looking up to meet Mike’s intense stare. He shivers.
“Say it again,” Mike whispers, voice low. When Will hesitates, his nails start to dig into Will’s scalp.
“I hate you,” Will says again, and Mike smirks down at him.

Emotional distance and the lack of communication over the past months between Mike and Will resulted in a big explosion of emotions. Now they can’t even stand each other and they have a long car ride ahead of them. Can they peacefully sit through it without making a scene?

“The clouds don’t let us see the stars,” Mo Ran says letting the annoyance in his voice bleed through. Per usual, there is no reply from Chu Wanning. There’s nothing forcing him to reply. Mo Ran grumbles and buries his face against Chu Wanning who stares up at the falling snow.
They remain like that for a long time.
“Mo Ran,” Chu Wanning suddenly says. His voice is rough from illness, but in the silence of snow it rumbles through Mo Ran.
“Hm?” Mo Ran replies in surprise.
“She’s moving.”

Chu-fei is pregnant yet still deeply defiant. He won't tell Taxian-jun when he feels the baby kick or if he feels ill. It means Taxian-jun must take the onus of Chu-fei's delicate health upon himself and watch him with the intensity of a dog.OR

Summary
Working at a shitty, run-down bar in London, Mo Ran knows everyone who comes on a Saturday night. They drink, smoke, and come every weekend to sing and dance to a pianist far above this place. But one Saturday, someone new comes along, seemingly on a mission to quietly drink this bar out of business. Mo Ran has never seen him before, but he takes the other’s cold nonchalance as a challenge. When Xue Meng arrives, he almost passes out upon seeing him here of all places — that man is no random drunk; that man is Chu Wanning, one of his father’s business partners and an influential figure in international politics.
Mo Ran takes that as part of the challenge. Even if Chu Wanning is seventeen years his superior and a million times richer, Mo Ran sets himself a goal: get this man in his bed tonight.
