Hey, my little readers. One of my favorite ATLA artists, nymre, has so much beautiful and feelsy Zutara art. This is a companion piece to her post, On Ember Island; go check it out! :3 I really hope you like it!


A low chuckle erupted from the firebender when he grabbed her around the waist and pulled her to him, causing her let out a squeak.

"Zuko!" She yelled gleefully as they both fell onto the warm, white sand.

"Katara!" He mocked with grin on his face. He sat up and supported Katara onto his lap by resting his callused hands on her thighs. Zuko looked up just in time to see her stick out her tongue at him.

"Why are we here?" Katara finally asked, surrendering to her questioning mind as to why Zuko brought her outside; she was secretly running throughout the beach house, trying to find baby pictures of Zuko.

That was until he caught her with scrolls piled in her arms, giggling to her heart's content.

Zuko looked at her with a knowing look, but then he let a small smile appear on his pale face. "One is because I'm not going to let you parade around screaming 'Baby Zuko is so cute!'" Katara pursed her lips, trying to suppress the huge grin forming.

"But you a-!" A lean finger kissed her mouth, silencing her. A soft, closed-mouthed giggle vibrated against his finger.

"Two is because I wanted to show you something," Zuko said softly afterwards. His eyes shifted to the fading sunset on his left; the sun was slipping behind the open horizon. "Look."

Katara followed his gaze and her blue eyes met the quiet scenery. The golden light from the sun cast a dancing glint on the soft waves.

The water seemed more peaceful with the warm star looking down at it.

"What do you think?" She turned her head toward him and smiled, feeling immense love add to her happiness. Zuko was looking at her with an awkward, crooked smile. Gods, he was adorable. "Do you like it?"

Her smile widened when she detected a soft blush on his right cheek.

"It's beautiful; thanks for taking m—dragging me out here," Katara spoke, wrapping her arms around him.

Zuko's lips rose into a playful smirk. "Do I get a thank you kiss?"

She giggled and slowly leaned into her warm star.


Well...? I really hope it wasn't too short and you guys liked it. I really want to take Zutara prompts, so you should review this and add a prompt!

Love you darlings,
