Would you kindly bestow on me your fave zutara fics? Smut welcome.

Sure! I don't have smut, but I will give you my top ten (though in no particular order) recs lol

The Things We Hide, by Lykegenia (actually literally anything by this author tbh): A canon-divergent AU where the South Pole falls to the Fire Nation, featuring Blue Spirit Zuko and badass Katara :D

woodwork, by youareoldfatherwilliam, a beautiful season 3 companion piece/missing scene type beat. I reread this fic every couple months.

An Ache in the Moonlight, by tinybluewitch. This one will bring you pain! But it's so well-written augh the PINING

Put Your Hands Into the Fire, by liketreesinnovember, which is an AU where Zuko is part of Jeong Jeong's crew of deserters, and meets the Gaang in season 1 when Aang comes to learn firebending.

Tenacity, by GrapefruitTwostep: Multichapter Regency AU. It's very fun :D

Rounding the Edges, by SadLadybug: This one I first read on FFN back in the day and it had an indelible impact on my life (namely Zuko teaching Katara to knife fight).

I Cannot Say It All In Lines, by cablesscutie: An AU where Zuko takes up life as a refugee blacksmith in the Earth Kingdom, and meets Katara when she comes to commission him for a sword.

To Want and Not To Have, by Emmyjean. The pining and tension in this one is exquisite-- it's always the Ember Island fics, man. Also one I reread on the regular.

(Don't) Follow Me Down, by eleventy7. A Hades & Persephone-inspired AU, featuring goddess of death Katara and god of sunlight Zuko. The prose is gorgeous, also!

And last but certainly NOT least, For the Fire Nation, by an author who has since orphaned the work. This one is a lovely look into how Zuko falls for Katara-- first for his country and what she could do, and then for himself.

hope you enjoy these, anon! happy reading :D
