I've always wanted to try a Zutara story, so, ta da! Enjoy.
Yes, I watched the season 2 finale. I put some quotes in here, and I don't think they're all accurate. I don't know, I just didn't want to see the finale again.

I hated him.
I hated him for being such a jerk, chasing Aang and all of us to the ends of the earth.
I hated him for being such an idiot, not realizing that the world needs the Avatar.
I hated him for being part of the fire nation, the people who took away my mother.
"That's something we have in common."
I was speechless. Never in my life would I think that anyone related to Ozai would be in the same pain as I was. I never thought I would feel closer to that boy, that Zuko.
I wanted to do something for him. His scar, a looming symbol in his life, I decided to free him from that burden. As I touched his scar, my fingers over his closed eye, I traced the lines of his eyes, his nose, his eyebrows, his face, everything, with my eyes. I held the little vile in my hands and my heart began to flutter, just a little.
I nearly jumped when the cave wall was smashed through.
As I hugged Aang I knew he was eyeing Zuko (Sokka would do the same). I still hugged the little bald boy.
When we made our way out of the cave I looked back; looked back at Zuko. I nearly stayed where I was. I watched him and when he looked back at me I almost smiled, and continued to follow Aang.
The next time we looked at each other he was fighting me and I was fighting him. I was disheartened, disappointed, crushed, "I thought you changed!" I cried at him.
"I have changed." No you didn't, you turned around and went back to square one.
Flying, I was on Appa flying, an unconscious Aang in my arms. I looked up at the sky, at the stars, and I felt so sad, so crushed.
For once in my life I had thought things would go my way.
I thought that maybe—Zuko and I—could have lived in harmony.
Like every girl's dream, it was just a fantasy.

Oh how sad. My dreams of Taang have been crushed, too (sob). Oh well.
Anyway, short, because I don't know how to write Zutara (smile).
Hope you enjoyed it!
