Reclamation (A Life for a Life) by Error_Code_Orphic

Summary
“A life for a life,” Shang tells her after the avalanche.
He spares Mulan’s life. The army leaves her behind anyway.
Half-dead in the mountains and burning with fever, Mulan is found not by Chinese soldiers, but by Shan Yu and the remnants of the Hun army they failed to kill. Forced into survival among the enemy under a false name, Mulan slowly becomes something unrecognizable even to themself: soldier, exile, weapon, spouse, traitor, survivor.
Caught between the country that rejected her and the people they were taught to hate, Mulan must decide who they are when neither womanhood nor manhood fit cleanly anymore, and whether being seen is worth the price of never being able to go home again.

Summary
"A life for a life." That was the price Li Shang set when he spared Mulan on the mountain. But as the snow closes in and the silence of the pass becomes deafening, Mulan realizes that being spared is its own kind of death. Abandoned by her comrades and grieving the loss of her closest friend, she is prepared to die in the cold, until a hand closes around her throat.
Shan-Yu hasn't come to kill her; he’s come to collect a debt.

When the Sun & Moon Collide by isamerai

Summary
Zuko has not known real peace since the day he faced his sister in their Agni Kai many years ago. No matter how many times he tried to bury it, his feelings for Katara refused to fade. At every shared meal, every sparring match, and every return to the Fire Palace, he found himself hoping — just once — that her eyes would meet his and reignite the spark that had flared the moment he took Azula's lightning for her... but they never did.
Her gaze always found Aang instead. And, in time, Zuko taught himself to look away — for their sake, for the fragile balance of their friendship. The Avatar and the healer, bound together as if by fate.
But when Katara comes to the Fire Nation during a quiet break from Aang, the Fire Lord begins to notice something he hadn't allowed himself to see before. Whenever he looked away...
She always looked back.
(Set ~10 years after the Hundred Year War, Post-Canon)

Summary
After the war, Katara loses herself in the rhythms of tribal life. In the South Pole the moon is sovereign. Deep in the ice and snow, and in the heart of her element, it is easy to forget that there is a land of fire, smoke and ash- the kingdom of sun and dragons. Her journey with the Avatar slips into memory: a strange past life, shadowy and ephemeral.
But some things do not stay consigned to twilight, nor to history.
She is 20 years old when she sees him again.
