    Summary

    It was the paths made of paint between them that drew them together, apart, and together once again.
    Modern College AU in BSSU :) When Zuko and Katara are paired together for their final project in their art class -- despite Zuko's (mostly self) hatred -- the two grow far closer than they had been before everything changed for Zuko. By day, at least.
    By night, he takes to graffiti, shielded by the Blue Spirit mask, leaving pieces of his fragmented identity across the Walls of Ba Sing Se. Excommunicated and literally burned by his family, he sees no point in adhering to the rules, anyways. Coincidentally (not), all of his graffiti appears by the exact places that Katara murals on, a pattern and a person she cannot place until her relationship blooms.
    Looming behind it all is Ozai, the man everyone with a brain can see as an exploitive money-hoarder, yet, only one student on campus knows he is Zuko's father -- Zuko himself. Whether it be because of his scar or the Caldera Museums or the lack of money in his wallet, Zuko would like to keep it that way.

    Knowing the universe, he probably won't be able to.
    When all else fails, Katara and Zuko fall back to the one thing they know they can do: paint.

    Summary

    “The Fire Lord proposes a marriage between his son, Crown Prince Zuko, and Princess Katara,” Iroh said, turning to face her.

    If she wasn’t already sitting, she would have collapsed given how light headed she was at his words. Her mouth went dry. Her fingers went numb. A marriage? To the Fire Lord’s son?

    Summary

    Katara and Zuko's mission on board The Southern Raiders goes badly wrong, and they are captured and imprisoned in the unforgiving hull of the ship.

    Katara now finds herself locked in a small room with a boy that she refuses to trust, and nine years worth of trauma and guilt swimming in her mind. She is resolute in her hostility towards Zuko, but as the horrors of their captivity unfold, an undeniable bond is formed in the quiet moments between their captor's torments.

    When they find themselves safely back with their friends on Ember Island, they are both sporting deep scars – old and new, seen and unseen. Katara struggles to reconcile all the pieces of herself and figure out who she truly is. And Zuko continues to battle with his past guilt, and the new guilt that arises from his growing feelings towards Katara.

    As their bond deepens – it may be the lifeline they both so desperately need to pull them from the dark waters of their past.

    Summary

    Zuko leans forward. “We’re gonna be lawyers,” he says seriously. “If we can’t get you a green card through a fake marriage, I think we’d have more to worry about than getting caught.”
    OR
    Zuko thinks that marrying Katara so she can get a green card is a great way to kickstart their law careers
