Crash Landing written by BrusselsSprout (aka @royaltealovingkookiness)

Zuko is bad at being good, Katara is good at being mad. Destiny smashes their heads together, when they crash on a remote island after the failed invasion. With the world's fate hanging in the balance, they have no choice, but to take a crash-course in survival, teamwork and friendship together.

Looking for a fic!!! It was a Zutara fic where Aang didn’t get out of the iceberg for another ten years. Zuko and Katara are married with a baby and they have to take Aang to the north. Sokka is a spiritual guru. And it jumps around from past to present. Please I really need to find this fic it was so good and I remember the name 🙃

A "stolen" wife amidst a world rebuilding after a century of war, a repentant Fire Nation trying to redeem its wrongs and earn good deeds. Excuse for invasion or not, the wife who left the Northern Tribe Chief will be reclaimed, even if the poles of the South, and the Capital City of the Southern Tribe, Annakpok, must melt.

An AU of the Avatar series with events inspired by the movie Troy and their versions of the Illiad. There will be differences, in both characters and events, with emphasis on key characters, battles, war, strategy and hopefully some the nuance within. While serving in similar roles to the Illiad/Troy counterparts, The Avatar characters are very much themselves and not heavily influenced by the Illiad characterizations.

Annakpok by DariusSobreitus

Finished reading this fanfic earlier this week, and it was phenomenal. I highly recommend it! I thought I remembered the author mentioning a tumblr account, but I couldn’t find it, so if someone knows if they have a tumblr/ what their tumblr is, please let me know so I can tag them!

While the story is very much a Zutara one, there’s a specific poster of Helen from the Troy film that really inspired me, so instead here’s Yue. 

The glimpse of the South Pole over Yue’s shoulder is a screencap from Legend of Korra. The shield Yue holds is based on the shields carried by the Southern Water Tribe during the Day of Black Sun invasion of the Fire Nation.

♥ Please do not repost. If you like it and want to show people, share a link to this page instead. Thank you!

This series is pretty good. I like the conflict, the plot is engaging, good character development, and a nice slow burn zutara romance.

if you’re in the mood for something dark but v hurt/comfort I recommend anything by @longing-for-rain my favorite zutara fic ever probably is “just one drink”

Thanks so much for the rec! I'll definitely check it out. I'm not usually a darkfic person but I have read some pretty good ones and I'm definitely not opposed.

omg I just saw your art of Tempest in a Teacup and saw that AkaVertigo commissioned you!! you have no idea how happy this makes me, I haven't heard from that series in literal decades and was honestly worried abt the author and was just hoping for the best for them 😭❤️ So glad to see this fic being brought back to life thru such amazing art, it's one of the first fics I ever read and to see it being shown love in 2022 is amazing!! thank you so much!

Thank you!! And yes! Tempest in a Teacup is soooo good, right?! I hadn't read it until I was commissioned for the piece and after I did I was like, 'Um, yeah, there are so many good possible things to draw for this literary artwork, all of them right up my alley!' And of course, AkaVertigo was prepared with all their ideas and visions. They were a delight to work with throughout the process; I couldn't have asked for a better commission experience, really. And I'm looking forward to seeing where the sequel fic goes! <3

#Go read this fic if you haven't yet! #Zutara fic rec #Zutara fans are so diehard #I love it!

Remember when I mentioned wanting to record podfics for other people's Zutara fics way back at the beginning of the year? Yeah, I'm finally getting around to that. Or, more accurately, I'm finally getting around to posting stuff I finished in January.

read the worst prisoner by emeletish (?) it’s amazing. absolutely incredible.

Hello! I haven’t read the worst prisoner yet but it is on my tbr list. Honestly I am the WORST at keeping up with WIPs and I know she’s still working on part 3, but I am very eager to start once it’s finished! Her Stalking Zuko series is incredible and had a huge influence on my own headcanons for Zutara.

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.
