Description “Thank you, Katara.” My voice sounded weak to my ears, but as the faint blue light had dimmed, I felt my strength returning as the pain left. Her eyes were already on me the moment I had opened my own, tears were rolling down her face with joy.

Her hand came to caress where smooth skin met marred and I closed my eyes at the sensation, a small content sigh escaping my lips. Her hands felt cool against my feverish hot skin as she stroked it with soft fingertips. I felt as if I could fall asleep like this, dream that there was never a war to begin with; only peace and companionship among the nations. However, when I felt her warm breathing on my lips, my eyes opened to find Katara leaning forward, our noses almost touching. I saw her eyes were still open slightly, watching me as she was waiting for something.

I had a hunch that I knew what it was...

With renewing strength, I took a hold of her slender neck carefully. Then I kissed her long and hard. I felt the world disappear around me. Nothing else mattered. Nothing else existed. I was just the two of us alone in the universe. Nevertheless, before the kiss could feel like eternality, Katara moved away tentatively if not a little bit awkward, blue sapphire eyes still gleaming with tears.

“Zuko, I’m sor-“ I placed my index finger on her lips, affectively hushing her.

“You don’t need to apologize, Katara.” I screwed things up, not you. I should have never asked her to join me on this quest to defeat my sister in the first place, and then none of this would have happened...

Bold text is where this picture's portrayed from.

This has to be the hardest picture till now. You don't want to know how much my neck hurts right now xD Anyway, I love how the background came out (and can still remember all the cussing along the way). The pose ended up lovely, too! At least, that's what I think

This picture is for my Zutara 100 theme list.

I want to know what you all think, please be honest with me, I really want to improve on my drawing skills ^^

Zuko, Katara or the other characters off Avatar: The Last Airbender don't belong to me, and never will.

BlueEyedCrows [2012-08-28 04:11:19 +0000 UTC]

This is insanely, ridiculously good. The pose makes sense, because Zuko just got fried. He'd be a little awkward for a bit, even having been healed. In fact, I think it makes it look more realistic. Awesome work.

Your work is fantastic and this is one of my favorites – if only this had happened! But I don’t think the kiss would be hard – I think it would be something like this...
Tears running down her cheeks she leans forward. His eyes widen with surprise as she closes her own and then brushes her lips against his. His lips open in response and she feels his hand on the back of her neck drawing her closer. She gives in to his touch as his lips close over hers. His kiss is a gentle caress, a soft pull, a tease. She moves to lie against him and he slowly rises to meet her. The kiss becomes deeper as he moves his mouth against hers, rhythmically, lovingly, drinking her in.

I really like this! And your paragraph of a story <3
Honest critique: I think you should've made Katara's lips a little more open. Because right now it looks like they're clamped shut (almost in a pout) and Zuko's doing all the work.

atlalove187 [2011-02-20 20:02:04 +0000 UTC]

This could of happened, but isn't it kinda confusing if Katara kisses two people in one episode?
Or you could just take out the kataang kiss and put another zutara one in there.

This is a beautiful rendering of the post Agni Kai fight with Azula. It looks like it could've been a cut scene from that episode.

I like how you conveyed both of their feelings in this picture from Katara's hands on his shoulders to Zuko's arm around her neck, I thought it captured the feeling we felt at that moment perfectly.

Thank you for sharing this. I really enjoyed it.
