school’s out! zutara fic list (v.5)!
The best Zutara multi-chapter fanfic’s I’ve ever read (redone as of 04/27/2012):
The Slow Path, by Tazmainian Devil - Anti-bender revolts? Sokka and Suki defending Omashu? Toph firebending? It’s everything trite and everything completely ridiculous. It shouldn’t work in the slightest. But… it’s glorious. There is also a heavy Taang focus here. I really like it though! [COMPLETE]
Stormbenders, by Fandomme - Everybody’s favorite play on the “arranged marriage” trope. Really. It’s def the best in the fandom. If you haven’t read this, you’re wrong. [COMPLETE] Also check out Ozai’s Vengeance by Fandomme as well, which has absolutely nothing to do with either Ozai or Vengeance. Complete as well. Both blow my mind. EDIT: OZAI’S VENGEANCE IS FANTASTIC. A MUST READ.
Tempest in a Teacup, by AkaVertigo - For the first half, Zuko isn’t even introduced, but we just have Katara and Iroh. It’s pretty fantastic [: Don’t try to read the sequel, as it’s long dead. But this one ends with enough closure, and it is [COMPLETE].
Twist of Fate, by jazzpha - Aang was released from the iceberg early. Lu Ten killed him in the North, and the Avatar spirit was reborn into Katara. Excellent intrigue in the Fire Nation between Fire Lord Ozai, Crown Prince Lu Ten, General Ozai, and Admiral Jeong Jeong. Also, there’s a great Azula/OC pairing, a budding relationship between Zuko and Katara in the South Pole, Koh, badass!Ursa, and my new OTP, Lu Ten/Jun. A must read. And as of yesterday, [COMPLETE]
Dancing in the Dark, by DamageCtrl - Shameless blutara, with some interesting twists. There’s no action and no intense plot device. Just romantic tension and resolution. Basically, angst and fluff in equal portions. Good for those of you who like that kinda stuff. [COMPLETE]
Half-Asleep, by The Crushinator - This is fantastic. It’s only nine chapters, but still rather long, and is centered around Katara. Though the eventual pairings are not kataang and maiko (obviously), the author still treats those relationships, as well as Aang and Mai, with a lot of respect and depth. I highly recommend it to all A:TLA fans, regardless of shipping preferences. Also, surprise cameos from a past avatar, a badass badgermole, and a crazy guru. [COMPLETE]
His Majesty Prefers Blue, by ShamelessLiar - Man, this fic used to update ALL the time. Like, at least once a week! I followed it up all the way… and it died off right before it was supposed to end. But surprisingly it updated again a few months back and finally finished! HMPB is a wonderful fic regarding Zuko dealing with corruption in his new regime from all angles, including those he’d least expect, while also trying to avoid marrying the political allies his uncle has lined up for him. HEAVY LEMONS. Guys, the characterization in this is the biggest deal. Every character is written exactly spot-on, so that it almost hurts. The Big Bad reveal may upset you, but stick around for the explanation and it’ll make sense. Finally, it’s [COMPLETE]
It’s been a rough few months for me from a fanfic perspective… My efforts to write my own stuff kept disagreeing with Real Life, and some awesome fics that I was reading decided to go dead for no apparent reason. Sad day. Anyways, I’ve got a few sequels on the back burner, as well as the Sparrowkeet business of course. And I’m always on the prowl for new stuff as well. Please send me your recs, and I’ll keep you guys updated with mine when I come across them! Expect another fic list update before the summer’s out. And for those of you in school, good luck on your finals!

P.S. Some of these authors are on tumblr. You should totally stalk them and tell them how much you love them!

THIS IS THE SECOND POST I’VE SEEN COMPARING KATARA AND MAKO. I APPROVE HEAVILY.
Daddy Issues (just had to)
Katara: My father left us behind when we needed him most.Toph: My father doesn't accept me.
Asami: My father betrayed me. He was supporting the equalists and created massive weapons of destruction for them.
Zuko: My father burned my face, banished me, never loved me, is responsible for the disappearance of my mother, turned my sister crazy, plotted my grandfather's death, ruled with an iron fist, and was nearly successful in taking over the entire world. Now, tell me your daddy issues again?
Katara:
Toph:
Asami:
Zuko: That's what I thought.

I approve also, mostly because Mako is being compared to Katara here and not Zuko - I find Mako’s role in the story to parallel Katara’s much more strongly than his superficial resemblance to Zuko :)Can’t help but smiling when watching this vid.
Awesome Zutara/Makorra vid
((Wow, this is actually really good. The parallels…))
I don’t like comparing ships and the whole 2.0 thing, but…i approve of this
Stop I know what you’re thinking. “ugh an zutara 2.0 amv” BUT IT ISNT.
This is one of the best amvs I’ve seen in a while.
oh my god
of course
mako isn’t zuko’s spiritual successor
KORRA IS!
O>M<G
this is pretty dope… I ship this…
whoaaaa dante basco bringing it o:
i didn’t notice it was him until i read the word “dope”.
I’ve reblogged each of these images separately. But man, this artist is SO quality. I love it soooo much.

I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
And I told you to be balanced
And I told you to be kindSkinny Love | Bon Iver
;_;
OMG. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW BEAUTIFUL YOU ARE?
this is. priceless.
fleursciortino:Because of excessive feels, I made a WIP fanart of the Avatars and their feels about the people close to them.
Avatar Yangchen
and Avatar Kyoshi are pure fan speculation on my part I’m sorry.(For some reason I read Yangchen as being almost too giving and compassionate to a fault, resulting in her not admitting feelings of attachment to someone who doesn’t feel the same)
(and I don’t know why I imagine Kyoshi as having a girlfriend, or a female companion, IDK but I always think how hilarious it would be for the tough, no-nonsense Kyoshi to have a team member who is a coward or somewhat shy crybaby loool)
And then canon
Avatar Kuruk with Ummi, Avatar Roku with Ta Min (and Prince Sozin lol), Avatar Aang and Katara and Avatar Korra and Mako and BolinThe Avatar’s waifus and husbandos.jpg KSDfjdkljfdfj (this thing is not in chrono order yet, Kyoshi should be after Kuruk)
what are you doing to my feels T_T
what are you doing to my heart
aw. this is the nicest thing i’ve seen all day. c:
