new chapter of my zukka actors fanfic!

chapters: 16/?

The gaang are all famous actors starring in the new and upcoming show "Avatar the last airbender"! Zuko and Sokka are oblivious idiots crushing on each other and Katara and Aang aren't much better. Toph is a fighter, not an actor she just has to convince everyone else that.

Sokka, summing up the AtLA fandom: "Zuko was dark and brooding. He had that 'mysterious bad boy' thing going on that women seemed to love. Tortured soul. Guilt-ridden hero. Chicks dug that."

Kill Me Romantically (3014 words) by All_About_That_Ace

Summary:

Mai and Zuko had the weirdest, most twisted, darkest romances the GAang had ever seen. Ty Lee thought they were sweet. Toph thought they were hilarious. Everyone else thought they were disturbed.

#atla #zuko #mai #maiko #the gaang #this fic is so good #fic rec #atla fic rec #everyone is so fixated on zuko it honestly makes me tired sometimes #it wouldn't be bad if sweet baby boy awkward turtleduck zuko wouldn't be a thing #reminder that awkward turtleduck burned down a village; was fully on board to help killing Yon Rha #even more on board for killing Ozai #here's that #canon zuko would banish his fanon version #bael confessing

Breathe by Gasmeros ( @gasmeros ) for GwendolynStacy ( @xxgwenstacyxx )

When his ship explodes, Zuko isn't so lucky to get away unscathed. No amount of firebending can protect him from the solid steel the explosion launches everywhere. His ship is lodged in his chest, and he can't breathe. He must rely on the Avatar to do it for him. Ongoing, 41k words.

*** ** * ** ***

Chap 4:

He has no worldly idea why they do this. He expects more attacks and threats. What he gets is extra portions with every meal. (He snaps at them, and they snap back. He bites his tongue, and things are downright pleasant.) They don't get it. Either they're too boneheaded, or they're doing it on purpose. It doesn't matter what he does; they won't stop being kind, like it's baked into them. Like it's not a choice. Maybe this is just a very specific, Zuko-only torture method. It's effective. He definitely feels tortured. [...] He doesn't realize he's been staring at the floor until Aang's call pulls his gaze away. A steaming bowl of stew is held out to him. For how long, Zuko's not sure. He takes it quietly, and ignores Aang's searching gaze. There are three shards that have wormed their way into his chest. They smile at him, offer him stew, and they burn.

This fic...had me rethink everything I know about self-sacrifice. I thought that self sacrifice is ultimately a good thing especially when saving those you love

Character B saves character A so as to ensure that the world gets saved? love that beautiful angst and love

Jim from the office saving his kids by sacrificing himself to the hearing monster? cried so hard but at the end of the day loved it

but this fic...holy shit this fic made me realize the hurt of self-sacrifice. The hurt Katara must have felt. The hurt that the others must have felt to realize how ready he was to die for one of them. The hurt of the aftermath, what we don’t see, how he was standing up that soon after through willpower and not wanting the others to worry about him. How, if the show wasn’t for kids and did what this fic did, then we would have had like 5 minutes of Katara and others doing their best to keep him breathing there in the courtyard.

they would have Toph create a stretcher and she would bend it towards other healers while listening for his heart. Katara would be on the stretcher, bc of course Toph made it big enough for her and Aang, and continue healing him with Aang on stand by to do what he does in the fic. Suki keeping pace with Sokka as they run ahead while ordering/screaming at the remaining guards to get the f*cking healers right f*cking now or so help them they will beat die by their hand, no bending and Sokka’s broken leg be damned, this is their new fire lord so do your f*cking job and help him!

#this fic is so good #i nearly cried #fic rec #zuko and the gaang #zuko #atla #self sacrifice is actually hurtful towards those you sacrifice for apparently

שברים מאת EvieNyx

התעללות בילדים מרומזת/ מופנית אני מתכוון שזה ozai

לזוקו היה זמן רע

אבל הוא למד מזה

טיול שטח משנה חיים עם עצמו

בתא

לשלוש שנים

אבל עכשיו הוא מוכן

להיות אדון האש

והוא בעצם די טוב

ואוו תראו את זה

האנשים אוהבים אותו?

כן - צורה חופשית

הם כן

חבל ששאר העולם לא

אנחנו נתקן את זה

זוקו עושה כמיטב יכולתו

ולעולם אין את זה

אבל הוא ממשיך למצוא בטעות מנהיגים עולמיים

ורק מביא אותם לקבוצה שלו

אופס

הגאנג יהיה כל כך מבולבל כשהם יופיעו

זה הולך להיות נהדר

פימס הולכים לדקור מישהו

Keeli רק רוצה שזוקו יישן

הקוראים הם שילוב של שני הוויברציות הללו

Can you recommend fanfiction that you personally really like?

Yes! Love this ask. I’ve never made a Zutara fic rec list partially because I’ve read so many wonderful stories over time that I find the prospect daunting!

But there are absolutely certain stories that I have a personal soft spot for, that I return to again and again. And that’s my criteria for what’s included below. This is a sampling of fics that I find myself coming back to, in no particular order. I may come back and add more, because this list is so far from exhaustive. A mix of ratings (marked), so keep that in mind.

Wish I Was the Moon by Like a Dove (T), post-canon: There’s so much that I love about the way this one-shot explores Katara’s character and what she faces post-canon, how she frees herself, strikes out in the world and finds her way home. Her feelings for Zuko, and her inner-conflict around them, are rendered tangibly, both through scene and subtext. A really good example of how an author can show a character’s lack of/journey to self-knowledge without breaking voice.

Refraction by caroes3725 (E), post-canon: When I started reading Zutara fanfic (for me this was in 2020), this was the fic I was looking for—a deep, realistic-to-canon, in-character exploration of how Zutara could unfold after the events of ATLA in a way that gives Katara in particular the arc she deserves. Really well-done development of the Fire Nation court world, well-developed characters, shining dialogue. An amazingly well-worth-it slow burn.

Wildfire by rainstormdragon (E), post-canon: To me this story is kind of a steamy Zutara thesis. The characters are so spot on and alive, their flaws are on full display in a way that feels realistic, and their chemistry is powered by their compatibility—matched in passion and stubbornness, and also in what they want from life. And I think it really gets Aang, too, which is something that can be hard to find in ZK fic. Also really hot, but that's only part of what makes it really shine.

Partners in Learning by evergreenonthehorizon (T), Modern AU: One of the things I love in modern AUs is watching an author weave that invisible string between these characters. Sometimes, it’s by writing narrative arcs that parallel the series, and sometimes it’s by drawing out the personality traits that make the characters both lovable to readers and such a compelling match and watching that spark bloom into flame. This beautifully written story does that so, so well in a really compelling Modern AU setting. Zuko and Katara here are so wonderfully lovable, and it’s a joy to watch them fall for one another, too.

Journeys by Smediterranea (E), Modern AU: In real life, I want to see my friends in relationships with people who can recognize why they’re so particularly amazing. That potential, I think, part of the appeal of ZK as a ship, and that’s part of the special magic of this fic. Watching these two characters get to know one another—really see one another—and fall in love deliciously sweeps the reader up. Plus, really fun, in character cameos from the rest of the Gaang along the way.

Spark, set fire by marijayne (T), Modern AU: literary fanfic, and I mean that in the best way. This story is beautiful and bittersweet, the latter is not often something I seek out in fanfic (where I hide from life), but here it’s gorgeous and worth it. The world building here is really cool—allows the author to explore some of a set of cultural issues/interactions that both echo the ATLA world and ours. The characters are so tenderly drawn (dadko especially)—and the connection between them builds beautifully and tangibly—and the longing is…chef’s kiss.

Wrong when it's right by nire (T), Book 1 Canon Divergence: Before I read this, I couldn't imagine wanting to read a Book 1 Zutara. After, I wanted more. Bickering, bed-roll sharing, shared heat, tenderness and common ground. A delight from start to finish.

Anyway, thanks for asking and happy reading! <3 And if you want more recs, let me know.

Zuko's Tiny Dilemma

Fandom: Avatar The Last Airbender

Author: boogum, @botherkupo

Rating: Teen

Word Count: 126,753

Pairings: Zutara, Yukka

Characters: Katara, Zuko, Aang, Sokka, Yue

Warnings: Canon Typical Violence

Tags: Humor, Friendship, Age Regression/De-Aging, Spirit Curses, AdventureZuko is an Awkward Turtleduck, Drama, Tiny Zuko is Grumpy, Season 1 canon divergence, Crack Treated Seriously, lots of gaang bonding, premise is ridiculous but this will suckerpunch your heart, Romance, Appa gives best cuddles

It was the kind of thing that happened in folktales: a cursed prince, a transformation that could not be broken. Except those princes usually became monstrous-looking creatures who needed true love's kiss to return to normal. They did not get stuck as a six-year-old boy depending on a bald runt and two Water Tribe siblings.
