Mature
He was an enigma, a puzzle. She wanted to solve him. She was an open book. He wanted to get lost in her pages.

After a particularly nasty breakup, Katara transfers to Ba Sing Se University for a fresh start. She and Zuko get off on the wrong foot, but when they realize they're going to be spending a lot of time together thanks to shared classes and work, Katara extends the figurative olive branch. She quickly realizes there is so much more to him than meets the eye.

A Zutara College Modern AU drabble in which Katara transfers to Ba Sing Se University and Zuko is a brooding, angsty turtleduck.

The Thief And The Healer

32 parts Complete

The healer, Katara. Studying to be a nurse by day, the Painted Lady healing the sick by night. The thief, Zuko. A business major who may have bitten off more than he can chew. A modern day take on ATLA with the ending you wanted. [Zutara. Modern AU. Love square Blue Spirit and Painted Lady. COMPLETED.] "I thought you said this class was going to be easy," Zuko grumbled. "It was!" Sokka insisted. "We have a quiz and a paper due this Friday," Zuko countered. Sokka shrugged. "Maybe it's the teacher you signed up for." "Yeah, maybe." Sokka held up his old schedule and looked it over, then grabbed a second schedule that was on his desk and held it up to compare the two. "Uhh, what was the class code again?" "BIO 113." Sokka's face puckered. "I may have discovered the problem." Zuko groaned. Past 'discoveries' with Sokka had taught him to expect the worst. "What?" "You picked up the schedule off my desk?" Sokka asked. "Yeah?" "And signed up for the Intro to Biology class listed?" he continued. Zuko's voice had more frustration in it this time. "Yes." "It wasn't my old transcript you were looking at. Katara gave me a copy of her schedule this year...the code you used was for my sister's class." Zuko blinked. "Your sister who is studying to be a doctor?" Sokka nodded slowly with a grimace. "I'm in a Pre-Med biology class?!" "Yeah..." Sokka trailed off. "That's rough, buddy."
