Avatar Aang saves the world but ruins himself in the process. or Katara engages "He who saved the world" but loses herself in the process. - Aged up. when the battle against Ozai takes place Aang is 18, Katara is 20, Zuko is 22.

Katara is 18 and the Southern Water Tribe has held an uneasy allegiance with the Fire Nation for the last 100 or so years. When Katara's tribe goes through a food shortage, Katara takes it upon herself to make sure they survive. She agrees to enter a competition where the young Prince Zuko will choose a wife out of 35 women. Katara promises herself she only has to last a day until a truce she can't ignore is offered, and now Katara is in it for the long haul. A Zutara! Selection AU. More couple tags to be added as they appear.

Enemies to friends to... more😏- After joining the gang, Zuko has to earn the forgiveness of Katara, and in doing so they begin to grow closer. Both fire and water elements can be driven by passion & it a appears they may have more in common than they think. This will differ from the shows plot and timeline but I will do my best to stay true to the characters. TW/ Smut later on but I will put a disclaimer or warning before chapters containing anything NSFW.
