Zutara headcanons for @mikitheswiftie from your Secret Santa! Hope you had a wonderful holiday!

First, Zuko didn’t realize he was in love with Katara until weeks after his coronation as Fire Lord and Katara was already home in the South Pole with her family

It was sort of a slow realization too, one that sort of built up over time only to almost blow up in his face with that sudden oh moment. 

Actually, it was Azula who helped him figure out he was in love with Katara. He had gone to visit her in her room to talk, and he asked her why she broke the rules of the Agni Kai and aimed for Katara. Azula gave him that sly smirk she always gave, and just said “oh, I think you know.”

Of course, Zuko didn’t tell anyone he loved Katara because how could he? What was he supposed to do? Run away from the Fire Nation and head to the South Pole? Oh no, he’ll keep his feelings right *here* and one day, he’ll die.

Katara it was a little different. In her heart, she always knew she loved Zuko, but she assumed that it was the same type of love she had for everyone else. It didn’t occur to her that her heart sped up the more she thought about him or that her palms went all sweaty whenever she was around him. No, no, nothing strange about that.

It was almost a year later, when she and Sokka were heading back to the Fire Nation for celebrate the first year of peace between the nations, that Katara finally came to terms with her feelings.

For Katara, it was more like Sokka had to beat it out of her. “Sokka, what do you mean I am always writing to him and I get this stupid smile on my face when I talk about him. What do you mean it’s not normal for my palms to sweat whenever I’m around him? Sokka, Sokka, what do you mean I always turn red when you mention him?” 

Basically Azula and Sokka are Tired, and they had to help these idiots figure out they were in love. 

So at the peace signing, Zuko and Katara are of course extremely excited to see each other, but they’re so awkward because they don’t want to admit their feelings out loud to each other, so they end up just pining the whole time while Sokka just hits his forehead in frustration. 

Finally on the last day, Zuko finally just blurts it out to Katara that he thinks he’s in love with her, and Katara just starts laughing and can’t stop no matter how hard she tries because “Zuko, you dummy I’ve been trying to tell you I love you.” and Zuko is so relieved, but he’s not actually sure what to do.

But, you know, teenagers, so they start freaking out because “we’re only kids, maybe we don’t really mean that, maybe it’s just almost dying together that’s causing these feelings, yeah that’s it”. So, yes, they admit they’re in love with each other, but they decide not to act on those feelings mostly in fear of being judged.

So they continue living, and with each passing year their love for each other never really fades, especially when Katara permanently moves to Caldera City as Ambassador to the Southern Water Tribe when she was almost 19. 

Anyways, once Katara is permanently in the Fire Nation, Zuko tries to actually start something and while Katara is receptive, they keep their relationship a secret because, again, they don’t want people to judge them. Plus, they lowkey love the secrecy of sneaking around the Palace. 

Zuko’s heart still almost stops whenever Katara tells him she loves him or whenever she strokes the scar on his face, and Katara’s heart still flutters in her chest whenever Zuko calls her his. 

And they’re happy, really they are. That’s all that matters to them.

Here's my gift for @grovestep, @atlawinterfest2020.

A yuetara highschool AU, let me know what you think, if you like. Happy *very late* Christmas.

[atlawinterfest2021]

Hey! You want to talk about it?

Okay…

Zutara/ Blue Spirit x Painted Lady Modern! Vigilante Au

To: @oxjenayxo <3 From MikitheSwiftie

I want to thank @atlawinterfest2020 for organising this secret santa and; for your patience and understanding to give enough time to complete the gift.

[atlawinterfest2021]

headcanons for @littlecaesurios, by your secret santa!!!

Yue lives

She’s at least a whole head taller than Sokka (even with her hair) and that doesn’t bother Sokka at all because he likes Tall Girlfriend Hugs

Speaking of Yue’s hair... it returns to being black and her eyes were always blue but they don’t glow at night anymore on a full moon

Sokka carves her three new ornate hair-pieces with the Water Tribe design and it’s very good practice for carving the engagement necklace

He lets Yue name his space sword (affectionally now “Swordy”)

Yue is allergic to sunflowers and fire lilies

Yue can 100% waterbend but was not able to train and use it until she left the Northern Water Tribe with the Gaang (Katara is an excellent teacher and very patient and and Yue prefers to use her bending for healing)

Her favorite place to have visited was Ba Sing Se because of how large and strange it was and Sokka’s favorite place is anywhere with Yue

Sokka proposes to her right after Fire Lord Zuko is crowned

By the time they’re settled in Republic City as late middle aged Council members and Water Tribe ambassadors working with Avatar Aang, they have had three daughters (13, 10, 6) and one newborn son

❆ Happy ATLA Winter Fest @fireflyfeels!!  ❆

I’m your secret giftee (and super late, oof!)! I loved the concept for a first date for these two- I imagine it would start off pretty casual…like a winter solstice festival in the southern Earth Kingdom. 

They’d be in town with the others for a summit, they find some downtime afterward to explore and take in the festivities. However, the others know how close Zuko and Katara have been getting and decide to subtly hint at the two to hang out just together– and just together. They sense everyone’s ulterior motive but don’t make too much of a fuss as they spend the time taking in the sights, listening to the sounds, and tasting whatever celebration snacks there is.

The celebration typically includes a sighting of the southern aurora lights, something Katara has only recently seen in the South Pole due to the end of the war bringing back the spirits- however, it’s a bit cloudier and the spectacle is less vivid.

Cue Zuko getting an idea and, well…

[Sorry it isn’t much of an elaborate story and I wanted to create more beginning pages but that would have taken much too long and I’m already late as it is lol!  I really hope you like it though! I hope you had a marvelous holiday season~!  And thank you @atlawinterfest2020​ for hosting!]

merry crisis, @bhatoora! ♡ your gift for the @atlawinterfest2020 gift exchange ☃❄️zutara + the gaang + (boba) tea shenanigans

this began as a fic about just zuko and katara at the jasmine dragon, then in my panic that i couldn’t finish it, scrapped the whole thing and drew this. now it just sort of turned into a “gaang suspects z + k are hiding a secret relationship, but it turns out they were just inventing boba tea (and also flirting, lots & lots of flirting) – toph is delighted to have some new blackmail material, aang is very happy for his friends, sokka has needs to have a word with them immediately and suki just wants her boyfriend to chillax.

i hope you like it! ♡♡♡

[atlawinterfest2021]

This is for @jerkbend for the @atlawinterfest2020! 🎄☃️

They wanted to see some gaang shenanigans at the Western Air Temple. I thought having Aang, Toph, Katara, & Zuko spying on Sokka giving Suki a corny poem in secret was something I thought they would do. I hope the drawing came out alright! Hope everyone has an amazing year!! 💜
