Summary
Love is an easy thing. It is. You have a heart, and you find another one that dances with it—and even that dancing, it is easy. Loving, dancing, wanting, breathing. But a soul? A soul that loves and dances and wants and burns and bleeds and keeps? Where are you going to find something like that? Not just a dance between lovers—but a conversation between souls. Where? Point it for me, and watch how it leads straight to you.
(or: the tale of Fire Lord Zuko and Master Katara)

Summary
"The face of Cersei's husband is as frozen as the forest around them. The swords of the Rebellion have left the kingdoms torn open and red with blood but the North has been spared. Untouched, her handmaiden had sighed when they first stepped out of the walls of Winterfell. Cersei had said nothing. Not untouched, she had thought. Cold. Colourless. Barren.
Yet it is this cold, colourless, barren wasteland that is to be her home now."
Fill for kink meme prompt: "AU where Robert must marry Catelyn Tully if he wants her father's support in the Rebellion. Jon Arryn talks Ned into marrying Cersei, with Jaime still in the King's Guard in King's Landing. How does Cersei change when she's married to Ned instead of Robert, a man that respects her and treats her kindly? Would love to see a redeemed-Cersei as Lady of Winterfell. And any drama with infant Jon Snow would be great."

Summary
In the crib is his wife, asleep, curled up on her side in her day clothes, her hair spilling between the bars. His chest tightens when he recognizes the lines of dried tears on her cheeks. Zuko reaches out and cups the side of Katara’s face in his palm, his thumb running briefly over the corner of her mouth. Why is she home early and why has she been crying?
Why is she in their child’s room, in their child’s bed, instead of their own?
OR: Zuko and Katara are a happy couple trying for a child. For Zutara Week 2020.
