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 by Rasinpaw
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."

"Why do you hate me so much?" "What?" "You do, don't?" Zukos eyes glared. "Out of everybody, it was you that had something against me the most." "Something against you?" Katara laughed. "You know what I have something against? People that attack me and my friends, try to capture us and work with the same monsters that killed my mother." "So you do hate me..." "No." "Well you act like it." "And who wouldn't?" The young water bender raised her eyebrows. "Who wouldn't hate somebody that wanted to burn down whole villages, temple and cities? I really wonder if your honour is worth so many lives... Or are just human lives that weren't born in the Fire Nation, not worth it?" Katara was heat and cold as their bodies huddled desperately together, nothing would stand between them. Nothing in the damned world, until they felt to be one, a single being of movement, longing and love. This moment was theirs, their eternity. "You're going to break my heart, aren't you?" HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ALE!!!! Enjoy this stupid gift, this fanfic I wrote three years ago. The one and only, exclusive transalation of my masterpiece.
